Hollywood legend Robert De Niro, who has won two Academy Awards and a Golden Globe, is now just a "sad, broken old man," according to Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy.

De Niro, 82, teed off on Miller this week during an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend," comparing Miller to Joseph Goebbels, a Nazi politician who served as Adolf Hitler’s chief propagandist and Reich Minister of Propaganda.

President Donald Trump appears to be holding his vice president back from achieving his most "dangerous" goals, according to a former Republican analyst.

President Donald Trump is trying to destroy everything about the government that functions for the people in order to reshape it in his image, former White House ethics expert turned States United Democracy Center chief Norm Eisen told MSNBC's "The Weeknight" in a highly animated tirade.

This comes as Trump moves to bulldoze the East Wing of the White House to make room for his massive, corporate-funded ballroom project, all in the middle of a federal government shutdown being waged over whether people will continue to have funding for health care.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) accused President Donald Trump's Department of Justice of ignoring death threats against him, despite their pledge to actively pursue threats against elected officials, during an interview with progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen on Wednesday.

A former Justice Department attorney tore into his old employer on MSNBC over the legality and ethics of President Donald Trump seeking over $200 million from the department, and delivered a stark warning to a pair of appointees who may help him.

President Donald Trump's former national security advisor, John Bolton, warned in a new interview on Wednesday that the president will likely get bored with the multiple peace processes he's trying to juggle unless he wins the Nobel Peace Prize.

The Trump administration is currently trying to negotiate peace in two multi-year wars, one between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East and the other between Russia and Ukraine. Bolton said during an interview with Times Radio on Wednesday that Trump is likely to "find something else to do" unless achieving peace in at least one of these conflicts earns him a Nobel Prize.

Rep. Marianette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) stated during an interview on the Simon Conway Show that extending Affordable Care Act tax credits for millions of people — the core issue over which the federal government is currently shut down — is an "unreasonable demand" from Democrats.

U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan was not lawfully authorized to appear at the grand jury, and Attorney General Pam Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche, knew it, former federal prosecutors Joyce Vance and Preet Bharara asserted during a podcast on Wednesday.

President Donald Trump is seeking $230 million in restitution for the crimes he was charged with by the Justice Department, according to a New York Times report on Tuesday. However, that conflicts with the Florida ruling from Judge Aileen Cannon, one justice reporter said Wednesday.

A shaken and furious Mika Brzezinski pointed the finger at House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday morning over efforts to keep the Jeffrey Epstein files away from the eyes of the public after the MSNBC host read excerpts from one of Epstein’s victims’ book.

Speaking with Amy Wallace, who co-authored Virginia Giuffre’s, “Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice,” the MSNBC host quoted liberally from the book — and grew more incensed as Wallace described Epstein partner Ghislaine Maxwell’s willing and horrific participation in the sexual assaults on his teen victims.
