Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) appeared on Newsmax Wednesday, attacking U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg, who is presiding over the case involving the flights that deported people the Donald Trump administration alleged were gang members.

Boasberg told Trump's Justice Department lawyers over the weekend that the flights must be paused or turned around. There has been a further question about whether the administration made a calculated decision to ignore the judge, said the Associated Press. That led to further questions by the judge and an official request for information.

Tech billionaire Elon Musk is being schooled about the impacts of his foreign aid cuts that one reporter says have already killed people.

When he came into office, President Donald Trump created the "Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)" by executive order and tasked Musk with the responsibility. That initiative has been behind the upheaval and dismantling of government agencies. Websites, grants, programs, and employees have been cut or frozen under the promise that Trump will save taxpayers trillions.

Joy inside the White House that billionaire Elon Musk is taking the heat for unpopular positions of the Donald Trump administration is quickly dissipating as the president's approval numbers start to tumble.

According to MSNBC "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough, his contacts inside the administration believe that using the deeply unpopular Musk and his DOGE team as a "heat shield' to deflect criticism of Trump may have run it's course.

Speaking to his panel on Wednesday morning, the MSNBC host reported, "I talked to a source very close to the White House and the president who said they see Elon Musk's poll numbers going down and the idea that he's somehow a quote, 'heat shield,' and somebody told me last night, close to the president, that heat shield's not working anymore."

Pointing to Republicans who have been on the receiving of abuse from constituents at very contentious town halls, Scarborough elaborated, "Elon Musk's numbers are going down, the president's numbers in some areas going down, so there has been the blowback, I will say, from members of Congress who see what we're seeing here in these clips."

"I have seen members of Congress go out and do that, and I have seen members of Congress hide from their constituents and hiding from constituents does not work," the former Republican lawmaker advised. "Better to go out, get the feedback and get the blowback and adjust than to hide in your offices."

Noting the value of Tesla stock collapsing after investors bail on Elon Musk's automotive company, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough claimed it was inevitable and not just because of Musk's personal growing unpopularity.

With the stock in freefall, as sales collapse at a time when other EV products are seeing sales increases, Scarborough claimed it appears that Musk allied himself with Donald Trump because his businesses, much like Trump's have done in the past, are floundering.

On Wednesday's edition of "Morning Joe," the co-host amusingly used Kenny Rogers "The Gambler" to frame his narrative and tell the panel, "Listen to these facts, I wrote them down ... Tesla sales down in the U.S. right? Last year, well, electric vehicle sales up in China. Tesla sales down 49 percent, while EV sales for the rest of the country up 85 percent. In Germany, Tesla sales down 76 percent, while EV sales in that country overall up 31 percent."

He then added, "His technology is not working. His driverless cars aren't working, the batteries are antiquated."

He continued, "But think about this: this guy's company has lost, Musk's company has lost close to $900 billion in market cap over the last three months. Tesla has always been a meme stock based, you know, as the feller said, the profit to earnings ratio is horribly skewed. One of the most horribly skewed profit to earnings ratios in like the history of Wall Street."

"And so when the bubble bursts on the reputation, the meme stock goes down and my only point here, his point, actually not mine, is Tesla is in deep trouble and it's in deep trouble," he added. "Not just because he's in Washington, but maybe he's in Washington because he knows it's in deep trouble and giving Donald Trump a couple of hundred million dollars."

"That may have been his bailout to help save Tesla, to help save SpaceX, to help save a lot of these other companies that are struggling now, and not just because people think he's doing a Nazi salute or just because he's saying outrageously horrible things or firing veterans every day," he continued. "Maybe it's happening because he knows his companies are going in the wrong direction."

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow ripped into President Donald Trump’s cozy relationship with Vladimir Putin – a connection she flagged as “unprecedented” and deeply unpopular with Americans.

Maddow devoted a significant portion of her show’s opening monologue on Tuesday to Trump’s affection for the Russian president, hours after they shared a two-hour phone call. The conversation between Trump and Putin came as the MAGA leader suffered “loss after loss after loss after loss” in court battles nationwide, the MSNBC host noted.

Musk joined Fox News anchor Sean Hannity on Tuesday and was asked about the numerous protests — and several attacks — targeting Tesla, which he has called terrorism.
