Liz Cheney will live forever in Trump’s head because she beat him at the TV game: Rick Wilson

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) may have lost her primary, and her congressional seat with it, on Tuesday, but she still has a comfortable place, rent-free, in the mind of Donald Trump, according to one political commentator.

Former Bush, Romney and McCain campaign adviser Mike Murphy said that Cheney can gain attention and hurt Trump, and that matters more than whether she's a presidential candidate. To have her succeed as a presidential challenger would mean major changes in the GOP and that isn't likely.

Republican men are getting blindsided by their own ignorance in the wake of Roe’s reversal

Pro-choice activists have spent decades trying to explain to lawmakers the complexities of medical care and that blanket laws cause even more complexities around personal freedoms and healthcare. Now Republicans are discovering that restrictive laws could get them kicked out of office.

States quickly passed tighter and tighter restrictions on women's health only to result in stories about women being forced to travel to other states to save their lives. Other women have been forced to reach near death health emergencies before hospitals are willing to act. Stories have surfaced that raped teens are unable to get abortions due to restrictive laws. Story after story is causing panic among pregnant women or women who want to get pregnant out of fear for their own health and safety.

Former Mueller prosecutor explains why no legitimate lawyer wants anything to do with Donald Trump

Former Justice Department prosecutor Andrew Weissmann explained to MSNBC that one of Donald Trump's biggest problems is finding a set of lawyers willing to help him with a solid legal strategy to deal with all of his slate of legal cases that all seem to be culminating together in recent weeks.

'They want to do witness tampering': Morning Joe busts Trump lawyers for push to reveal Mar-A-Lago sources

News organizations have asked a court to unseal the affidavit used to justify an FBI search warrant for Mar-A-Lago, and the former president's lawyers have called on the Justice Department to reveal the names of witnesses who helped secure the warrant -- and the "Morning Joe" called out what they were planning to do.

GOP 'tripled down' on Trump's 'toxicity' -- and 'it's making them all seem like lunatics': MSNBC's Heilemann

MSNBC's John Heilemann admonished Republicans for circling their wagons around Donald Trump before they even learn the full facts about what top-secret documents he squirreled away at Mar-A-Lago.

Republicans had been cruising toward a congressional majority, but the overturning of Roe v. Wade protections, the Uvalde school shooting and the Jan. 6 committee hearings have dealt the GOP a series of setbacks, and the "Morning Joe" political analyst was baffled by their continued defense of Trump's corruption and extremism.

Morning Joe reveals 'disturbing' talk with 'Washington fixture' who wants to 'destroy our country' to save Trump

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough revealed a pair of "disturbing" phone calls he had this week with a friend and family member calling for the destruction of the U.S. government as investigators move closer to Donald Trump.

The FBI search of Mar-A-Lago has spooked the former president and enraged his supporters -- which Trump has tried to use as leverage to reduce the heat on himself -- and the "Morning Joe" host said that included some previously "boring" moderates who were now willing to destroy the constitutional republic rather than hold Trump accountable.

The ad only appeared in Bedminster, New Jersey, where Trump typically spends his summers.

Morning Joe says Trump could lose more Fox hosts after Mar-A-Lago search: 'The news is going to get worse'

Former President Donald Trump appears to be losing one of his top conservative media allies, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said Republicans may finally be willing to cut him loose before he sinks their election chances again.

Fox News host Laura Ingraham said on a recent podcast that Americans are "exhausted" by the former president and may prefer to "turn the page" to another Republican presidential candidate in 2024, and the "Morning Joe" host said they'd be wise to do it sooner rather than later.

‘The debt is due for Rudy Giuliani’ — and now he has a big decision to make in Georgia: reporter

Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani was notified that he's a target in a Georgia election interference probe just days before he must sit for a deposition in Atlanta, and that presents him with a daunting choice to make.

The former New York City mayor seems likely to be indicted in Donald Trump's scheme to overturn his election loss in the state, and a judge has compelled his testimony before a special grand jury -- while another judge ordered Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to testify -- and Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" what that means for the former president and his allies.
