At the top of her Friday show, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace couldn't help but notice the touchy-feely nature of Presidents Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin as the two leaders met on the red carpet in Alaska.

Trump welcomed the Russian president with applause and several friendly touches, Wallace said, before the two men entered the presidential limousine known as "The Beast."

Former congressman and chief of staff to President Barack Obama, Rahm Emanuel, expressed his concern that Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump were in the limousine together alone as they headed toward their summit.

CNN commentators recalled that Trump wanted to invite North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un into the limo known as "the beast" when the two had their meeting. The Secret Service at the time advised against it.

A CNN anchor called out President Donald Trump on Friday afternoon as he rolled out the red carpet for Russian President Vladimir Putin at the start of a high-stakes summit in Alaska.

Trump and Putin were meeting on Friday to discuss ending the ongoing invasion in Ukraine. The discussions were taking place at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.

President Donald Trump is no longer having a meeting alone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, CNN's Kaitlan Collins reported ahead of the meeting.

She noted that a White House official told reporters on Air Force One that other people would join in the meeting. Collins noted that it was just a few days ago that press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed it would be a one-on-one meeting. By Friday, however, that changed to a three-on-three.

The White House posted a video of a large number of U.S. Marshals and FBI agents in riot gear with shields marching through the halls of an apartment building to calmly arrest what has become known as the "Sandwich Guy."

On Sunday, a man in a pink shirt raged at police on the streets of Washington, D.C. before he threw his foot-long sandwich at them. The "sandwich slinger," allegedly lawyer Sean Dunn, was released without charge.

CNN's Pamela Brown fired back at a Pentagon spokeswoman's insulting response to a question about her reporting.

The "Situation Room" co-anchor interviewed Pastor Doug Wilson, a self-described Christian nationalist who counts Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth among his flock, and he explained that his vision of society would forbid women from voting as individuals.

Fresh off of walking a tightrope to get a massive budget bill passed with reluctant Republicans on one side and Donald Trump on the other, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is once again stuck in the middle trying to make both parties happy.

At issue now is Trump’s desire for Republicans to redistrict multiple red states in order to gain more GOP seats in the House and Republican caucus members who could be out of a job if Democratic governors, including California’s Gavin Newsom, make good on threats to do the same for their own party.

A decision by agents representing the Department of Homeland Security to show up outside a facility where California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) was holding a press conference was hammered on MSNBC on Friday morning.

As the governor was explaining his plans to hold a referendum on redistricting his state, an army of California Border Patrol agents led by self-promoting Chief Patrol Agent Gregory Bovino swarmed the street in what is being called a "show of force" and intimidation.

CNN's Daniel Dale fact-checked Donald Trump's false claims about Ukraine as the president headed to Alaska for a high-stakes summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Trump has claimed the U.S. has provided triple the aid to Ukraine that Europe has – saying as recently as Thursday that Europe has given only $100 billion to $350 billion from the U.S. — and Dale told "CNN News Central" that's simply not true.

A conservative commentator was hit with a quick fact check on CNN after excusing President Donald Trump's interference in the Texas redistricting mess.

Border Patrol agents poured into downtown Los Angeles as California Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats outlined plans to redraw California's congressional map in response to a Republican push to do the same in Texas to their own advantage, and conservative journalist Rob Bluey told "CNN This Morning" that the situations in the two states were completely different.

Two right-wing influencers were promptly dragged out of an event in Dallas Thursday night after disrupting a town hall hosted by Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX).

“Jasmine, the people of Dallas deserve better than a fake ghetto hoodrat!” shouted Sara Gonzales, who hosts Sara Gonzales Unfiltered on BlazeTV and serves as the vice president of the conservative advocacy platform Family Project TX. “Do they know you’re a spoiled rich kid from Missouri?”

President Donald Trump's policies are doing more damage to the economy than his administration is letting on, a CNN panel argued on Thursday.

According to the latest inflation data, producer prices increased by 3.3% over the last year. That means businesses are paying more for the materials they use to make products for consumers. Hiring has also slowed considerably, the figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggest.

The panel on CNN's "NewsNight with Abby Phillip" erupted after a self-proclaimed "MAGA lefty" defended federal agents patrolling outside of the California governor's press event on Thursday.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, held a press conference where he announced the state legislature would enter a special session to adopt new election maps. The move came in response to Texas Republicans working to redraw their election maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. Border Patrol agents were seen conducting immigration checks outside of the event, according to media reports.
