MAGA supporters spoke out in defense of Vice President JD Vance after he used Minnesota's old flag at a press conference despite criticisms that it is racist.

Writing on BlueSky, Ana Marie Cox noted that Vance's podium was "flanked by steroidal SUVs declaring 'Protect the Homeland' and the *old* Minnesota flag."

Former Capitol Police Officer Michael Fanone responded with profanity after Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) suggested that the Jan. 6 Committee's initial investigation was political.

During a Thursday hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, Nehls told former special counsel Jack Smith that his "witch hunt" against President Donald Trump had been "politically motivated."

Former police office Michael Fanone had to be separated from President Donald Trump's self-proclaimed "secretary of retribution" during a break in Jack Smith's congressional testimony.

The former special counsel testified publicly Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee, and Fanone, a retired Washington, D.C., police officer who was seriously injured during the Jan. 6 insurrection and testified about his experience during the riot, confronted MAGA loyalist Ivan Raiklin, who had been seated behind him, during a break.

President Donald Trump lashed out at former special counsel Jack Smith while he was testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday.

The president took to Truth Social to issue his threat against Smith.

President Donald Trump responded to former special counsel Jack Smith's first public testimony by sharing a video of aide Stephen Miller shouting about "the Russiagate hoax."

As cable news stations fixated on Smith, Trump responded with a post on Truth Social.

Former special counsel Jack Smith wasted no time declaring that President Donald Trump "broke the law" at a congressional hearing Thursday.

Speaking before the House Judiciary Committee, Smith insisted that he loved his country and "deeply" believed in the rule of law.

During a discussion of the growing menace of unrestrained ICE agents on MS NOW early Thursday morning, legal analyst Lisa Rubin noted she came across a “use of force” internal memo that she was amazed someone thought was appropriate to write down.

After discussing a different bombshell memo that allows armed agents to enter homes with just an administrative warrant, Rubin told the panel of “Morning Joe” what one of her own investigations turned up.

At the same time that Donald Trump was making a big show of signing the initial charter of his so-called “Board of Peace” at Davos, Bulwark editor Sam Stein was quick to observe that the smattering of government leaders who joined him on the dais was lacking in star power.

The much-maligned new organization that the president has been hyping has attracted a collection of countries agreeing to sign up — none of them even remotely close to being considered a world power capable of doing much internationally.

President Donald Trump's speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday was such a "fiasco" that one columnist thinks Americans will look back on it as a "bright red line in history."

Trump spoke in Davos in meandering terms about how he was skeptical that NATO would come to the U.S.'s rescue if needed, even though the alliance did just that after 9/11. He also called into question Denmark's right to own Greenland and made several misleading or false statements about his domestic accomplishments.

A pair of media personalities clashed on Wednesday night over President Donald Trump's immigration raids.

Chris Cuomo, a NewsNation host and former CNN anchor, posted a video responding to a clip of conservative analyst Scott Jennings trading barbs with a younger panelist on CNN over how people who have been detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Jennings lashed out at the younger panelist for asking him not to refer to the people as "illegals" because U.S. citizens have also been caught up in the raids.

President Donald Trump is undermining his own agenda with his obsession to have the U.S. acquire Greenland, MS NOW's Chris Hayes argued on Wednesday night — something that he never actually campaigned on, and that is overwhelmingly opposed by Americans.

That stands in stark contrast to the extreme immigration raids, Hayes said, which, although they have become broadly unpopular, were at least something a number of voters had in mind when they went to the polls in 2024.

Mockery abounded on Wednesday after a former NFL sideline reporter who is running for U.S. Senate released her first campaign ad.

Michele Tafoya, who reported from NFL sidelines on NBC's "Sunday Night Football" until 2022, announced this week that she is running for Senate as a Republican in Minnesota, a state that has come under increased scrutiny over social services fraud. Tafoya is running to replace retiring Sen. Tina Smith (D-MN), and is expected to face a hotly contested primary.
