The 2022 version of 'the caravans are coming': Ex-Republican aide says GOP is desperate for winning message

In both 2018 and 2020, the Fox networks, Republicans and other conservative outlets claimed that millions of migrants were in a caravan headed to the U.S. and Mexico border to "invade" the United States. Former President Donald Trump even went so far as to send soldiers to the border, where most of them slept in their cars, and puttered around without much to do. Other states sent their state guard soldiers as well.

But after the election was over, the soldiers were called home and the "caravan" story was over. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) even admitted that the video his campaign used was a lie, but defended it anyway.

Nobody wants Lindsey Graham to make their medical decisions for them: ex-Republican strategist trashes

After 67 years, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has remained a childless bachelor, but he still believes that entitles him to decide women's medical decisions around the country. After the Supreme Court decided not to protect those privacy rights, states have exploded with new laws, each more restrictive than the previous. Graham's new bill in the Senate would force those rules on all states, even if they don't want them.

Speaking to MSNBC on Sunday, former Republican strategist Rick Wilson made it clear that Americans don't want lawmakers deciding what's right for their families.

'Pure essence of judicial corruption': Morning Joe panelists 'stunned' by Cannon's ruling on classified docs

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough was so mystified by the latest ruling by District Court judge Aileen Cannon that he wondered if it had been written by Donald Trump himself.

The federal judge selected a special master to sort through documents seized by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago, but Palm Beach state attorney Dave Aronberg told "Morning Joe" that he was astonished by her reasoning to withhold top-secret government materials from the Department of Justice.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and John Heilemann sounded the alarm on Donald Trump's "fascist" predictions of street violence if he's indicted in one of the many criminal cases against him.

'Clearly wrong': Morning Joe rips Trump judge for 'bizarre' Mar-a-Lago order that 'harms national security'

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough ripped a judge's ruling appointing a special master to review documents seized from Mar-a-Lago and setting restrictions on the Department of Justice investigation.

District Court judge Aileen Cannon's ruling forbids the DOJ from presenting those seized materials before a grand jury or using the contents of the documents to conduct witness interviews, which essentially prevents the department from indicting Trump until the order is lifted, and the "Morning Joe" host was baffled and outraged.

Jan. 6 committee member reveals they've received new evidence in trove of documents and texts from Secret Service

The U.S. Secret Service has been under fire since a summer report that they scrubbed their phones and other systems without backing them up despite being told to preserve documents. Now it's being revealed that there's more information being turned over to the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress.

The Secret Service has long said that they were cooperating and they didn't need to be subpoenaed. Robert Engel and Tony Ornato both testified behind closed doors to the committee, but it was before White House aid Cassidy Hutchinson spoke publicly and recalled conversations she'd had with Ornato. It was reported by CNN that Ornato was working for the Secret Service at the time he was working behind the scenes to undermine Hutchinson. He has since "retired."
