'Capitulating' Trump just handed Iran another 'huge win': expert

According to MS NOW national security analyst David Rohde, what is known about the rumored one-page memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran to halt the war is less than being advertised and the advantages still lie with the war-torn country.

Appearing on “Morning Joe,” Rohde praised the work of the negotiators but also claimed that the increasingly desperate American president is backing off many of his earlier demands which plays into the hands of Iran’s leadership.

Ex-Trump official slapped down by CNN host for whining about war on 'job creators'

Former Trump White House Communications Director Mike Dubke didn't get a very credulous reception on a CNN panel Thursday morning when he accused Democrats of waging a war against "job creators."

This came in the middle of a discussion of New York's proposed "pied-à-terre tax," charging billionaires for owning high-value second homes — as well as the recent controversy over real estate billionaire and former Trump administration adviser Steven Roth comparing the phrase "tax the rich" to racial slurs.

GOP facing a 'triple crown of badness' as major deadline looms: expert

Trump's 'desperate and pathetic' effort to bully election workers doomed to fail: lawyer

The Department of Justice is seeking the names of every individual who worked during the 2020 election in Georgia's Fulton County, where President Donald Trump has long claimed voter fraud robbed him of a win, but a legal expert said those efforts to intimidate election workers are doomed to fail.

Lawyers for the county filed a motion Monday to quash a grand jury subpoena asking for their names and personal information, and a former attorney in the voting section of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division explained to Legal AF podcaster Adam Klasfeld the investigation appeared to be a farce.

'Psychedelic' rebuke from world leader has Trump cornered — and he's lashing out: analyst

President Donald Trump received an almost "psychedelic" rebuke from a foreign leader recently, and that may help explain why he's kicked his revenge tour into high gear, according to one analyst.

Sean Wilentz, co-host of "The Court of History" podcast on the Legal AF Network, argued during a new episode on Wednesday that King Charles III's speech before Congress was a "masterful" repudiation of Trump and his MAGA movement. During the speech, Wilentz argued that the King reminded Americans of the ideas that the country was founded on, which Trump and the MAGAverse have sought to upend.

'You just said a bunch of nothing!' Kevin O'Leary sparks uproar on CNN over war costs

Canadian businessman and star of CNBC's "Shark Tank," Kevin O'Leary, sparked an uproar on CNN on Wednesday after he defended the costs of President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

O'Leary argued during a segment on CNN's "NewsNight" with host Abby Phillip that waging the war in Iran is worth the associated costs because it will allow American businesses to sell products in an emerging region, and that the Strait of Hormuz will be policed by another nation in the region. O'Leary added that the short-term rise in oil and fertilizer prices is just part of the deal for Americans.

"Tonight, even though Sarah Fitzpatrick is already being sued by Kash Patel, and even though she may be being criminally investigated by Kash Patel's FBI tonight, The Atlantic, Sarah Fitzpatrick published yet another incredible story about — ding ding ding, you guessed it, Kash Patel," said Psaki.

Chris Hayes smells a rat in Trump's raid on Virginia lawmaker

MS NOW's Chris Hayes kicked off his segment on Wednesday evening with an analysis of the suspiciously timed FBI raid on the office of Virginia state Sen. Louise Lucas just weeks after passage of an anti-Trump redistricting referendum she helped lead.

This came after Hayes discussed the recent FBI actions against reporters who ran unflattering stories about FBI Director Kash Patel and his girlfriend. However, he continued, "Threatening reporters wasn't the only thing the FBI was up to today."

'Completely flabbergasted': NYT reporter melts down on CNN over Trump's blunders

A New York Times reporter melted down during a segment on CNN on Wednesday during a discussion about President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

Lulu Garcia-Navarro, a reporter with the New York Times, said she is "completely flabbergasted" by the Trump administration's negotiations with the Iranian regime. Trump has recently rejected two offers to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global waterway that accounts for 20% of the world's energy trade, because the Iranian regime refused to give up its nuclear weapons. She was also taken aback by the seeming inability of Trump to predict that the war would turn from a military conflict to an asymmetrical war.

Fox News explodes into shouting as liberal colleague told her party has no morality

Jesse Watters of Fox News instigated a full-blown shouting match on Wednesday after he told one of his Democratic colleagues that her party does not have any "standards of morality."

Watters sparked a clash with co-hosts Jessica Tarlov and Greg Gutfeld on "The Five" during a debate about why some people continue to support President Donald Trump despite his morally questionable actions. Tarlov claimed Trump is a "completely morally bankrupt person," which seemed to set off Watters and Gutfeld.

Adam Conover, a comedian known for both his jokes and political commentary, offered his views of the upcoming election in Los Angeles and why the stakes were so high.
