MAGA activists Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer blasted Elon Musk and President Donald Trump for distracting from the budget deficit and national debt by focusing on internet memes instead.

As the House Budget Committee was marking up a budget likely to have few cuts in the next year, Bannon suggested Republicans were more interested in slashing taxes for the rich.

CNN's Harry Enten warned that one of President Donald Trump's strengths with voters could quickly turn into a liability.

The analyst displayed polls showing that inflation was the top issue that voters wanted the president to focus on during his first 100 days in office, with 34 percent citing that as their top concern, and another 21 percent identifying the economy, in general, as their main worry.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was the lone Republican to vote against Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence, and CNN analysts agreed he's got "nothing to lose" in opposing president Donald Trump.

The former Senate Republican leader spoke out against Gabbard's disqualifications for the job and described her as a risk to national security, and he also opposed defense secretary Pete Hegseth's nomination, and CNN's David Chalian said those votes show McConnell's role has changed after giving up his leadership role.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. advanced to a full Senate confirmation vote to lead the Department of Health and Human Services despite serious concerns raised by Republicans and Democrats alike, and a CNN senior reporter explained their "acrobatics" on his nomination.

The political scion and former Democratic candidate for president has been considered the most likely Trump nominee to fall short, after he was grilled over his controversial views on health issues, but CNN's Edward-Isaac Dovere said GOP senators appear willing to take Kennedy at his word on abortion and other topics.

A former federal prosecutor said his phone blew up Wednesday when newly minted U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi made an eye-popping announcement: that they had "filed charges against the state of New York."

Reports that the State Department appears poised to award a $400 million contract to none other than President Donald Trump’s top campaign donor Elon Musk was met with unabashed mockery by an exasperated Rachel Maddow.

A former national security advisor during Donald Trump's first administration chided his old boss Wednesday evening on CNN — and said the Kremlin is drinking vodka "straight from the bottle" in celebration of Trump's recent negotiations.

John Bolton, who served under Trump from 2018 to 2019 and has been involved in negotiations with Russia, joined CNN's "The Source" with anchor Kaitlan Collins.

Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan isn’t ready to give in to pressure that voters are receiving exactly what they asked for with President Donald Trump’s shakeup of the federal government in his first weeks in office.

Hasan on Wednesday launched into a passionate rebuke of the persistent claim in MAGA world that Trump’s election victory in November handed him free reign to usher in radical changes – inside the federal government and around the world – that the American public wasn’t privy to before Election Day.

President Donald Trump’s retaliation against The Associated Press for its refusal to adopt his order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America is a step into dangerous territory that could come back to haunt Republicans, CNN's Jake Tapper warned.

The message from Tapper came Wednesday during his long-running show “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” when the host launched a five-minute-long monologue in the middle of his program to rail against the Trump administration’s recent move.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) attacked her colleague, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX), on Wednesday after Greene's first hearing of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency subcommittee.

DOGE hasn't been established by Congress as a real department and hasn't been funded by Congress, but Republicans created a subcommittee that Greene now heads.

During Wednesday's remarks at the White House, Trump was asked how he could be sure Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency was properly cutting spending.

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday revealed what she called "unbelievable" reporting on the plans of Emil Bove, calling the news "the most stunning thing I've read since the election."
