Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt why Republicans were so upset by President Volodymyr Zelensky's choice of Oval Office attire when Elon Musk "never wears a suit" in the White House.

Doocy posed the question during Wednesday's White House press briefing.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) found herself in a shouting match with Rep. James Comer (R-KY) after the powerful House Oversight Committee chairman refused to let her enter documents into the official record.

During a House Oversight Committee hearing on Wednesday, Pressley asked for "unanimous consent" to enter a document about sexual violence into the record.

French Senator Claude Malhuret this week delivered a blistering rebuke of President Donald Trump and X owner Elon Musk, and he compared their reign to that of an infamously debauched Roman emperor.

During a speech discussing European support for Ukraine against Russia, Malhuret lobbed insults directly at both the president and his billionaire benefactor.

A former ambassador to Canada blasted president Donald Trump's tariffs as a "mistake" and violation of a trade agreement he reached in his first term.

Bruce Heyman, who served as ambassador from 2014 to 2017 under former president Barack Obama, told CNN's Wolf Blitzer that it was essential for the Trump administration to avoid a full-blown trade war with its northern neighbor, which responded to his 25-percent duty with a corresponding toll.

Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) lashed out at President Donald Trump because Krishnamoorthi saysthe price of a dozen eggs was nearing the price of a magazine for an AK-47 assault-style rifle.

During a Wednesday House Oversight Committee hearing on sanctuary cities, Krishnamoorthi brought up rising prices under Trump's leadership.

"The View's" Whoopi Goldberg criticized Republicans for removing Rep. Al Greene (D-TX) from the chamber during Tuesday's congressional speech.

"You can dish it out, but you can't take it," she said.

During an appearance on "Morning Joe," to talk about Donald Trump's economic claims during a televised speech on Tuesday night, MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle reported a White House insider has been shunted to the side for offering an alternative opinion on how to deal with Ukraine.

Sitting in a panel with host Joe Scarborough, Ruhle, a former Wall Street executive, first dismantled assertions made by billionaire Elon Musk about the economy before changing the topic to the president's treatment of President Volodymyr Zelensky last week.

"People are bracing themselves you know, the business community," she began. "Donald Trump did the unthinkable, he killed animal spirits, despite the fact that he that he's going to be extending tax cuts, that it's going to be a deregulatory bonanza, and that this is a big business administration."

"In the last two weeks alone, you've seen lots of people in the business community, many who were supporters of the president, suddenly paralyzed, saying, 'I can't look right, I can't look left, I don't know what this guy is about to do.' And the thing that's most disturbing for them, and he didn't talk about it much, is truly his alignment with Russia in the last week."

"I'll tell you this last point, Joe, in the last week I heard that someone pretty close to Donald Trump in this administration had just voiced privately in a White House meeting that maybe we need to lay off Ukraine," Ruhle reported. "That person has already been boxed out."

She then predicted, "So when you wonder, how could the likes of a [Secretary of Commerce] Howard Lutnick, a [Treasury Secretary] Scott Bessent and others who understand markets, who understand the economy –– why aren't they pushing back?"

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston disagreed with Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who insisted that sanctuary cities do not cooperate with federal law enforcement authorities.

During a Wednesday House Oversight Committee hearing, Jordan peppered Johnston with questions after "suspected TdA gang member" Abraham Gonzalez was released following a one-hour notice to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

MSNBC's Elise Jordan on Wednesday pushed back at Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI) when she suggested that the only reason that Americans were protesting at Republican town halls was because they were being paid off by billionaire George Soros.

During an interview on MSNBC, Jordan asked McClain about recent guidance from GOP leadership warning Republicans against doing town halls with constituents in the future.

Voters overwhelmingly agree that president Donald Trump needs to get his priorities straight, according to CNN's Harry Enten.

The polling analyst called attention to a new CBS News/YouGov survey that shows more than eight in 10 Americans believe the president hasn't focused enough on the economy, which they identified as their top issue, and Enten said that's part of a growing trend six weeks into his second term.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday morning, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was called out by co-host Joe Scarborough over criticism from his fellow Democrats that he and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) are failing to stand up to Donald Trump.

With Schumer on to provide a postmortem of Trump's abrasive address before both chambers of Congress on Tuesday night and, after Schumer praised the Democratic response from Sen . Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), the MSNBC host pointed out the rumblings about his performance as the Democratic leader in the Senate.

'We came in with a clip of [late night host] Stephen Colbert telling Democrats 'do something.' We've had other people on this show, Democrats being critical, saying that you and Hakeem Jeffries and other Democratic leaders on the Hill aren't doing enough. First of all, respond to those criticisms from other Democrats, and also let us know what is your plan? What can you do being in the minority?"

"Well, let me tell you our plan, which is a very good plan, the plan is to organize," the New York Democrat offered.

"The most important thing you can do is to protest is organizing," he continued. "It's not easy, but the American people are rising to the cause. So I had a call set up with our major activists in New York state, you know, lots of them. I thought about 500 people would get on the call. 3000 did."

"And here's what we decided to do on the issues that so affect Americans; the cuts to Medicaid, Social Security, the tariffs," he reported. "We're going to focus on the six Republican Congress members in New York state. As you know, the margin is so small in the House that only two would change, only two votes, two people changing their vote would help us win some of those fights."

"We're getting other senators to go after Republican senators in their own states," he added. "The best way to do this is organize, because their actual program is so unpopular and so bad for the American people. I believe organizing has a very good chance of succeeding –– that's the answer that I have. That's the answer Hakeem is doing in the House and it is the best way to protest the horrible things that Trump is doing."

CNN's Daniel Dale fact-checked president Donald Trump's congressional address, but he said one lie in particular stuck out.

The president gloated over the changes he's implemented during his first 43 days in office in a historically long, nearly 100-minute address, and Dale walked through some of the false or misleading claims Trump made during his speech, but he told host Kate Bolduan the lie that "stuck out the most" to him was his claim that Elon Musk had found rampant fraud in the Social Security system.

Plans by the Donald Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), helmed by billionaire Elon Musk, to dismantle the Social Security Administration, were trashed by a former Democratic senator on Wednesday morning.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," ex-Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said the staffers working DOGE, with an assist from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), hope to slash half the Social Security staffers.

That, she claimed, would not only backfire, but is a sign they have no idea what they are doing.

With "Morning Joe" regular Elise Jordan pointing out, "We were talking off camera about just how often you, when you were in office, you had to utilize the local social security offices to really get issues resolved by a caseworker who was local and in person. And I mean, just in terms of practicality, people who are on Social Security tend to be a little bit older. They aren't necessarily going to be as web savvy and immediately able to use the internet to solve whatever problem they have," McCaskill weighed in:

"I would like Elon Musk to sit down with a woman who is struggling with her benefits after her husband has died and trying to reconcile an error in the documents" the Missouri Democrat replied. "I would love him to sit down and talk to one of those people, instead of just assuming that tech can solve everything."

"It's so naive, it's so stupid," she bluntly stated.
