The former chair of the House Homeland Security Committee lost his patience with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem during a heated confrontation that was televised nationally on Thursday morning.

Toward the end of his allotted time, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) repeatedly asked the embattled the Donald Trump appointee over which administration vetted the refugee from Afghanistan who has been accused of shooting two National Guardsmen, one critically, in Washington, D.C., weeks ago.

Newsmax judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano agreed with a federal judge who ruled that National Guard troops federalized by President Donald Trump should be returned to the control of California's governor.

"There is no longer any emergency," Napolitano explained. "There are some protests, they're basically peaceful, they're not even newsworthy anymore. And the normal federal assets, federal buildings obviously have their own protective service, called the Federal Protective Service, are sufficient to protect federal assets."

Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) called on Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign if President Donald Trump did not fire her first.

At a Homeland Security Committee hearing on Thursday, Thompson excoriated Noem over her use of department resources.

A former Trump adviser warned during a recent podcast interview that President Donald Trump's approach to geopolitics could put America in a situation that is "very hard to unravel."

John Bolton, Trump's former national security advisor, discussed Trump's approach to politics on a new episode of "The Daily Beast Podcast." Bolton said Trump tends to rely on his personal relationship with world leaders during negotiations, which plays into the hands of those who wish to manipulate him.

A former federal prosecutor was taken aback on Wednesday after a federal judge essentially told President Donald Trump to "get your damn hands off" the California National Guard.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco ruled that the Trump administration must end its deployment of federal troops in Los Angeles, ending a months-long standoff between the administration and the state government. The administration claimed they federalized the California National Guard to protect immigration agents from protesters, a claim that Breyer found unconvincing.

Fox News' liberal co-host Jessica Tarlov teed off on President Donald Trump's speech on affordability during Wednesday's broadcast of "The Five."

Trump traveled to Monroe County, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday to give a speech about the rising cost of living and what his administration is doing to help average Americans. During the speech, Trump weaved through multiple other topics ranging from immigration to how well his Cabinet secretaries are performing.

Longtime Republican pollster turned anti-Trump analyst Sarah Longwell had a blunt message for President Donald Trump on MS NOW Wednesday: your denials of the affordability crisis, such as your speech in Pennsylvania this week, are not landing with voters.

"When he just, you know, politically wet the bed and said you don't need any dolls or pencils — I mean, what do you, I guess we just hope that [White House Chief of Staff] Susie Wiles is right and Donald Trump is out there on the ballot in the midterms," said anchor Nicolle Wallace.

President Donald Trump's administration received a rare rebuke on Wednesday from an air safety official over a provision tucked away in the annual defense spending bill.

Jennifer Homendy, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board, spoke at a press conference on Wednesday about Section 373 of the National Defense Authorization Act, a more than $900 billion spending package that recently passed the House of Representatives.

President Donald Trump's cognitive decline was on full display this week, longtime Beltway reporter John Heilemann told MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on "Deadline: White House" — and it's obvious when you compare his demeanor to a few years ago.

"You know, look, they asked him the other day on the airplane, on Air Force One, why he took an MRI, and he said he didn't know," said Heilemann. "If getting the camera-person-TV thing right is acing it, not knowing why you took an MRI is flunking it. I'm not sure what to make of any of those things, but it's totally clear and has been for some time."
