Newsmax pundit Theryn Bond criticized president-elect Donald Trump for nominating personal friends instead of the best-qualified people to head his new administration.

During a Thanksgiving panel discussion on Thursday, host Sharla McBride asked Bond to comment on Trump's nominations.

Some of Donald Trump's appointees have reported violent threats since the president-elect nominated them to high-level government positions, but an analyst said one of his unelected advisers was putting lower-level officials and employees at risk.

The former president has tapped foreign-born tech mogul Elon Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy to head the newly created quasi-governmental Department of Government Efficiency to drastically cut federal spending, and the X owner has revealed the names and titles of four relatively obscure government workers in a post revealed tens of millions of times and resulted in waves of harassment.

A former Democratic lawmaker took tech billionaire Elon Musk to task on Wednesday while calling into question how much authority he will actually wield in Washington once he assumes his new quasi-government role.

CNN contributor Bakari Sellers, a former South Carolina state representative, made the comments during an appearance on CNN, where he also gave props to Donald Trump’s incoming chief of staff Susie Wiles for seeing that Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy were placed in roles in the new administration with no actual power.

Former Obama administration adviser Van Jones thinks tech billionaire Elon Musk can learn a thing or two from a famous Spider-Man proverb.

The moment came Wednesday during a discussion on CNN revolving around Musk using X, the social media platform he owns, to tweet out the names and personal details of federal employees whose positions he sees as expendable.

President-elect Donald Trump's incoming border czar, Tom Homan, responded to death threats by vowing to follow through with mass deportations.

In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Homan said that he might start taking death threats seriously after they were received by multiple Trump nominees Tuesday night.

Fox News legal editor Kerri Urbahn, a former aide to then-Attorney General Bill Barr, struggled to defend former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani after he defamed Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss.

A day after Giuliani reacted to a court hearing by telling reporters he had "no cash," Fox News host John Roberts asked Urbahn if it was fair for a court to award $148 million to the two former election workers because they were falsely accused of rigging the 2020 presidential election against Donald Trump.

Fox News pundit David Webb asserted Vice President Kamala Harris and Oprah Winfrey were "guilty" after several of President-elect Donald Trump's nominees were targeted with bomb threats.

During Wednesday's Outnumbered program, Emily Compagno noted that at least five of Trump's nominees had faced threats.

CNN host Jim Acosta got into a testy exchange with former Trump White House Associate Counsel May Mailman on Friday when she seemed to imply that there was something suspicious going on in a California election in which a Democrat just this week overtook a Republican incumbent three weeks after the election took place.

Referencing the current race between Democrat Adam Gray and Rep. John Durate (R-CA), Mailman complained that California was still counting ballots in late November when most other races across the country have been called.

Democratic and Republican commentators clashed on CNN Wednesday when they were debating people who spread 2020 election conspiracies joining Donald Trump's administration in the White House.

Republican political consultant Shermichael Singleton dismissed concerns that those who participated in the fake-electors plot could be dangerous to the American government.

CNN host Jim Acosta and Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) battled it out on the network on Wednesday.

Burchett, an ally to Donald Trump, appeared on the network. Acosta raised the issue of Matt Gaetz and questioned whether Trump had a mandate that encompassed controversial picks.

Donald Trump's threatened tariff plan will result in higher shoe prices, according to a retail industry trade group CEO.

Matt Priest, CEO of Footwear Distributors and Retailers of America, appeared on CNN on Wednesday to discuss Trump's plan to install high tariffs on foreign goods. Priest's group represents dozens of companies, including Nike, DSW, Crocs, Under Armor, and more.

Donald Trump's incoming border policy adviser and former Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief Tom Homan had a stark warning for Democratic officials on Fox News Tuesday evening: resist us to protect immigrants, and we'll bring the full force of the law down on you.

"Don’t knowingly harbor and conceal an illegal alien from ICE. Because that is a felony," Homan told host Laura Ingraham. "We have one hell of an Attorney General coming in ... we're going to have consequences of people who violate the law and try to prevent us from doing our job."
