The co-hosts of "The View" called out Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) after they said he called for the torture of California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA).

Newsom is opposing Trump's order to send the National Guard into Los Angeles under the guise that immigration agents must be protected from protesters. No immigration agents have been killed or beaten by protesters, though five Los Angeles police officers have been injured, KTLA reported.

Just days after setting off a revolt in Los Angeles, with other cities joining in, Donald Trump will attend a performance of “Les Misérables” about the French Revolution at the John F. Kennedy Center Opera House on Wednesday night.

With the embattled arts complex facing an onslaught of canceled subscriptions since the president assumed control, the opening of the season on Wednesday will be witnessed by "supporters who have paid up to $2 million to watch the musical with him," according to the Wall Street Journal.

Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) scolded Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent for repeatedly interrupting her at a House hearing.

During his Wednesday testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, Sanchez instructed Bessent to restrict his answers to yes or no.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) grilled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth about his views on Russia's war in Ukraine.

"Number one, who's the aggressor and who's the victim in the conflict?" McConnell asked Hegseth during a Wednesday Senate subcommittee hearing.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Wednesday morning, Mayor Karen Bass started laughing at Donald Trump's proclamations about the unrest in California's largest city before "Morning Joe" regular Mara Gay could finish her sentence.

Invited on to discuss the success of the curfew she set imposed on the city on Tuesday night, which was largely successful, Gay prompted Bass with, "Mayor, have you received any kind of communication from the federal government about or even the state government about what you can expect from the hundreds of marines who are in Los Angeles right now and what their mission is," before pausing as Bass laughed and saying, "go ahead."

Attorney General Pam Bondi repeatedly declined to say what President Donald Trump's threshold was for invoking the Insurrection Act in California.

At a press gaggle on Wednesday, a reporter asked Bondi what events would force the president to use his powers to deploy troops under the 1807 law.

Reacting to a half-hearted middle-of-the-night apology from Elon Musk to Donald Trump, a former Republican House member claimed on MSNBC that it probably won't mean he will be accepted back in the White House.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," ex-Rep. Carlos Curbelo (R-FL) told the hosts that Musk had already worn out his welcome at the White House and little the billionaire can say now will change that fact.

CNN's Erica Hill needled tech mogul Elon Musk's late-night about-face in his feud against President Donald Trump.

The president and his billionaire benefactor publicly split last week after Musk lambasted the so-called "big beautiful bill" as a "disgusting abomination," and the break-up quickly escalated into a bitter war of words on social media that Musk now regrets.

Conservative actor Jon Voight fulminated against California Gov. Gavin Newsom – whom he called a "lying dog" and a "fool" – just days after meeting with him in his role as president Donald Trump's "Hollywood ambassador."

The 86-year-old actor posted the blistering harangue late Tuesday, after Newsom sharply criticized the president's escalation of the situation in Los Angeles by activating National Guard troops and U.S. Marines without the governor's approval, and Voight defended Trump in a two-minute video posted on X, reported The Daily Beast.

A former homeland security official walked through a number of president Donald Trump's claims about the Los Angeles protests and found that almost none of them were accurate, and some were unlawful.

The president has called out thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of U.S. Marines to the city, where protesters have clashed with local police over the Trump administration's recent immigration crackdown, and former Department of Homeland Security undersecretary Juliette Kayyem fact-checked the president's justification for escalating the conflict.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) tore into President Donald Trump's latest claim that the California governor and Los Angeles mayor "paid troublemakers, agitators and insurrectionists" to riot — one of the many pretexts he is using to send the National Guard and Marines into Los Angeles to break up protests against his mass deportations.

"What's your response to that, Senator?" CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked him on Tuesday evening.

The mayor of Los Angeles was aghast Tuesday at President Donald Trump’s newest attack, in which he accused California officials of paying "troublemakers, agitators, and insurrectionists."

Trump escalated his feud with Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom during a speech earlier in the day at Fort Bragg. Trump's comments became the topic of discussion on Erin Burnett's show, "OutFront."
