Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) suggested that billionaire DOGE administrator Elon Musk could be trusted with Americans' data because "he's the richest man in the world."

During an interview on Real America's Voice this week, host John Solomon asked Greene to react to a recent appellate court ruling that gave Musk access to sensitive private data from the Treasury and Education departments and the Office of Personnel Management.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and one of his panelists agreed that President Donald Trump means every word he's saying about the tariffs threatening to wreck the global economy.

The president's allies are split on the double-digit tariffs Trump is imposing on more than 90 trading partners, which he insists are necessary to undo trade deficits and boost American manufacturing.

Former federal prosecutor Elie Honig challenged the legal theory floated by Donald Trump aide Stephen Miller surrounding the administration’s deportation of a Maryland father who officials have admitted was illegally transported to a high-security prison in El Salvador.

“What Stephen Miller said there is straight up wrong,” Honig said Monday in an analysis after the Supreme Court upheld President Donald Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan migrants.

President Donald Trump remains entrenched in his belief that tariffs will boost the U.S. economy, despite last week's historic sell-off — but MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire said his allies are wondering if there's an off-ramp.

Stock futures jumped by 2 percent Tuesday after another volatile day on Wall Street, which witnessed the highest trading volume in nearly two decades. Lemire reported on "Morning Joe" that Republicans are starting to freak out about the sweeping tariffs against nearly 100 trading partners worldwide and their impact on the American economy.

President Donald Trump’s new trade threats targeting China prompted officials in Beijing to hit back with their own cryptic message on Monday – an escalation that CNN’s Erin Burnett demonstrated will have real-world effects on American consumers.

“China punching back, aiming an ominous tweet moments ago at Trump,” Burnett said as she summed up Monday’s fast-moving events, which included the Chinese embassy’s official social media account simply tagging “@realDonaldTrump” in a post.

Former Justice Department prosecutor Liz Oyer appeared before a House and Senate "spotlight hearing" on Monday and spoke about the ways in which the department has operated under President Donald Trump's presidency.

The hearing isn't an official one, as the Republicans are in power in the House and Senate, and only they can call an official congressional hearing.

President Donald Trump's Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent doesn't appear to understand the basics of how the stock market works, analyst Natasha Sarin told CNN's Boris Sanchez and Brianna Keilar on Monday afternoon.

Trump's imposition of tariffs on goods purchased from virtually every country in the world has resulted in plunging stock prices both at home and abroad, leaving officials in the Trump administration scrambling to explain it away as "short-term" pain that is part of a more long-term economic transition. Trump himself took to his Truth Social platform to demand people not be "stupid" and stay calm about the financial impact of his tariffs.

The GOP is "not getting basic information" when it comes to President Donald Trump's tariff plan, the co-founder of Punchbowl News reported Monday.

The remarks Jake Sherman made on MSNBC came as global stock markets continued to plunge in response to Trump's sweeping tariffs. The president has threatened more levies even as billionaires and some of his closest allies have asked him to back off.

Republican strategist Brendan Buck told MSNBC that if President Donald Trump's trade war gambit fails, it will be difficult for him to blame it on former President Joe Biden — or anyone else.

Speaking to host Chris Jansing on Monday, Buck said that he was hearing rumblings of "political damage" that could be difficult for the Republican Party to reverse.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) scolded her constituents for a flood of calls to her office after she declined to participate in town hall events in her district.

Last month, Mace declined an invitation from the Lowcountry Accountability Alliance to appear at one town hall event. Constituents went ahead with the gathering anyway.

The former chair of the United States Council of Economic Advisers admitted on MSNBC on Monday morning that Donald Trump is finding out initial supporters of his tariff plans are quickly abandoning him.

On the same day that a bevy of Wall Street executives — many of them the president's biggest boosters during the 2024 election — harshly criticized his economic policies, noted economist Jared Bernstein told MSNBC's Ana Cabrera things are not looking good for the embattled president.
