Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) revealed this week that he is considering selling his Tesla car after the company's CEO, Elon Musk, called him a "traitor" for visiting troops in Ukraine.

While speaking to reporters at the Capitol on Tuesday, Kelly was asked if he would sell the vehicle "in light of all these criticisms."

Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-MA) argued Elon Musk was a liar after the billionaire face of DOGE called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme."

During a Tuesday House Oversight subcommittee hearing, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) said it was difficult to take the effort to cut waste, fraud, and abuse seriously when Republicans would not push back against Musk's misstatements.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford responded to President Donald Trump's threats of further tariffs — with a promise to react.

Speaking to MSNBC on Tuesday, Ford, a conservative, warned there will be a response to Trump's latest salvo in the ongoing trade war with the USA's northern neigbor.

Elon Musk is becoming a political liability for Republicans, according to MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire, but Donald Trump isn't inclined to send him packing anytime soon.

The tech billionaire's is tasked with reducing the federal budget and the government workforce, but a majority of Americans believe Trump is making changes too hastily and say the job cuts are doing more harm than good, while Musk himself remains deeply unpopular – even before he proposed cutting Social Security and Medicare.

President Donald Trump is downplaying his influence on the stock market after watching it plunge by more than 2,000 points Monday — with another 500-point tumble soon after opening Tuesday.

But MSNBC showed a supercut of Trump's past speeches in which he boasted about his impact on the markets and claimed credit for a successful surge.

Former Democratic New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn clashed with former Trump administration official Matt Mowers on CNN Tuesday over the state of the economy, and the responsibility of the GOP to prevent a federal government shutdown, as Mowers tried to shift blame for the uncertainty and the risk of a shutdown onto Democrats.

"Republicans can't blame the Democrats and then take credit for what they're putting out as a good jobs report. Either this is their economy or it is not," said Quinn. "Although we don't control anything at the moment ... we are not without power, but the greatest power we have is to work with Americans. If you've seen the very organic turnout at these town hall meetings, Republicans are having, people are mad about the economy. People are mad about this slash and burn attempt by Elon Musk to just gut the federal workforce in places that really are important, like the Veterans Administration, like Social Security."

MSNBC's Mike Barnicle questioned Elon Musk's intellect as a supposedly "certified genius" — as he handed Democrats what Barnicle called an easy political win.

The tech billionaire and close adviser to President Donald Trump announced the widely popular entitlement programs Social Security and Medicare were on the chopping block as he makes sweeping cuts to the government workforce and other federal spending, and the "Morning Joe" contributor said that could help Democrats win next year's midterm elections.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough patted himself on the back Tuesday for correctly predicting that President Donald Trump would fumble the economy with "radical policies."

The president inherited a humming economy from Joe Biden, but barely two months later he and his allies are seemingly preparing the public for a recession as markets shudder at uncertainty caused by Trump's tariffs and Elon Musk's government cuts — and the "Morning Joe" host rolled a supercut video of himself predicting that outcome since the election.

Lara Trump suggested that Americans should worship President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser Elon Musk.

The president's daughter-in-law appeared Monday night with Sean Hannity on Fox News, the network on which she also hosts a program, and dismissed concerns that Musk was "enriching himself and his friends" as "laughable," saying that the public should instead demonstrate supplication for his purges of the government workforce, reported The Daily Beast.

Elon Musk pushed false claims about Social Security and Medicaid to justify his intention to cut those highly popular taxpayer entitlements, according to MSNBC's Joe Scarborough. And he added the tech mogul's intentions couldn't be more politically toxic.

Donald Trump's benefactor and adviser told Fox Business Network host Larry Kudlow that Democrats exploited federal entitlements to "attract and retain illegal immigrants" and then turn them into voters, which echoes the white nationalist "great replacement" theory, and the "Morning Joe" host blasted the billionaire's remarks.

It was just another day for former Obama White House ethics counsel Norm Eisen until he discovered via a social media post that he was among the group of prominent government officials and attorneys whose access to classified government information had been terminated.

Eisen, who previously helped prosecute President Donald Trump’s impeachment case as special counsel to the Democratic-led House Judiciary Committee, remained optimistic about what is being interpreted as an act of political retribution carried out by the new administration against the president’s adversaries.
