MSNBC hosts ridicule Republicans for impotence against Tucker Carlson

At the end of Mehdi Hasan's Sunday show, as he handed it off to Ayman Mohyeldin, the two couldn't help but laugh at the GOP's helplessness in the face of a "bow-tie-wearing, frozen food heir."

'Nobody said the guy's not guilty': Prosecutor Mark Pomerantz reveals DA discussions about Trump case

Former Manhattan prosecutor Mark Pomerantz spoke to "60 Minutes" on Sunday about his upcoming tell-all book People vs. Donald Trump. According to Pomerantz, former President Donald Trump could easily be prosecuted for many crimes that have been part of the discussion in the District Attorney's office.

DA Alvin Bragg previously said that he didn't see a pathway to charge Trump for anything involving the Trump Organization companies that skirted taxes by giving gifts to employees like cars, apartments in Trump Tower and even tuition funds for bookkeeper Allen Weisselberg's grandchildren.

Trump supporters were confused why his big event wasn't such a big event: Daily Show's Jordan Klepper

The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper revealed another of his videos on the show this week, but in a CNN interview with Jim Acosta, he exposed MAGA fans who were very confused at the latest event.

CBS host busts Ted Cruz on term limit bill: 'But you're still running!'

CBS host Margaret Brennan asked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) why he is not a hypocrite for sponsoring a bill to limit U.S. senators to two terms — even though he is running for a third term.

"You introduced a bill to limit terms to two six-year terms in office for senators," Brennan told Cruz. "Why aren't you holding yourself to that standard? You said you're running for a third term."

Rubio accuses Biden of 'dereliction of duty' for not disclosing military intel ahead of balloon incident

The suspected Chinese spy balloon was shot down over the Atlantic Ocean by the U.S. military on Saturday, in a measured response that weighed the risk of danger to people and towns below if it was shot down above the continental United States. But that was not good enough for some members of Congress.

On CNN's "SOTU" Sunday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) attacked President Joe Biden for allowing the balloon to enter U.S. airspace in the first place — even though it entered through Canadian airspace and there was no opportunity to shoot it down beforehand — and suggested the president should have divulged military intelligence ahead of its arrival.

Nikki Haley roasted for reverse on supporting Trump: 'How things have changed'

Former U.N. Ambassador and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley signaled her interest in running for president in an interview this week, and will reportedly formally launch her campaign later this month. The move immediately invited scorn from former President Donald Trump, the only major Republican candidate to have officially declared for 2024 so far.

But it also was a clear reversal for Haley, who — noted CNN's Abby Phillip on Sunday's "Inside Politics" — previously said she would support Trump if he ran for president again.

'Headache-inducing' Lauren Boebert claim shredded by MSNBC's Mika

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski strongly rejected Rep. Lauren Boebert's (R-CO) complaint about Capitol rioters being unarmed during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The Colorado Republican clashed with Democrats on the House Natural Resources Committee over a proposed ban on members carrying guns in the hearing room, and the "Morning Joe" co-host was astonished that Boebert used the attack on the U.S. Capitol -- which she foreshadowed that morning on Twitter -- as justification to arm herself in Congress.
