Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) posted a video smearing Dr. Anthony Fauci and tech companies with coronavirus disinformation, and she was fact-checked and criticized.

The Tennessee Republican baselessly claimed China had engineered the deadly pandemic with Fauci's help, and she misleadingly claimed the infectious disease expert had consulted with Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg about tricking the public to take health precautions.

Trump gave ‘resentful and paranoid’ voters ‘exactly what they wanted’ — and that’s why he remains a threat: MSNBC conservative

Donald Trump remains a grave threat to American democracy, according to one conservative commentator, whether or not he runs again in 2024.

Tom Nichols told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Trump and his imitators could do lasting harm to the democratic system in next year's election cycle with their "clownish" stunts, and he's worried about the millions of voters who want candidates like that.

Trump is doing Russia and China's work for them — it's how his insurrection continues: former FBI official

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Monday, former director of counterintelligence at the FBI, Frank Figliuzzi, said that it has become clear that the insurrection isn't over.

The conversation was about some of the people who attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and the ongoing effort to downplay the seriousness of the attack among Republican officials. That has now combined with Republican officials who are still attempting to overthrow the election using false "audits" and other legislative ways to overthrow the election.

Sunny Hostin noted that if Trump is a billionaire he should probably have a better tailor.

Trump praises Joe Manchin's obstruction after years of opposing the filibuster as president

Monday morning, former President Donald Trump called into Fox Business News to tell Stewart Varney that he loves Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) for refusing to eliminate the filibuster. But the comments come after Trump spent four years railing against the filibuster and demanding it be destroyed.

Manchin is refusing to bring down the filibuster, but he's also refusing to mandate the filibuster actually be used by senators if they want to stop legislation. As it stands currently, senators can obstruct any legislation by threatening to filibuster but not doing it.

John Oliver shames 'embarrassing' Americans for not citing Kamala Harris when asked for famous Asian American

In his main segment Sunday evening, John Oliver cited the recent survey of Americans asking them to cite a "famous Asian American."

News spread throughout the world that the first female vice president in American history was also the first Black and Indian American vice president, as Kamala Harris had a father from Jamaica and a mother from India.

Presidential historian calls 'baloney' on Joe Manchin claim filibuster stance is about 'protecting the Senate'

Presidential historian Douglas Brinkley literally called "baloney" on Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) for his excuse for supporting the filibuster.

Manchin has drawn criticism from his own party, civil rights leaders, and historians with knowledge of the last centuries of Senate function. Everyone, other than his Republican allies, has spoken out against Manchin's confused understanding of the process. Manchin, however, isn't the only Democrat parroting right-wing talking points on the filibuster crafted from historic lies. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) has also bought into the fake history.

Kyrsten Sinema playing both sides on policies has just made both sides hate her: MSNBC panel

The old adage from Jim Hightower goes that "the only things in the middle of the road is a yellow stripe and dead armadillos." Such is the case with Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's (D-AZ) political career, according to recent polls.

During an MSNBC segment and discussion, it was revealed that the new senator has managed to hack off both Democrats and Republicans in her attempt to play both sides on the filibuster. A CNN poll of Arizona voters showed 50 percent of Democrats hold a favorable vote of Sinema, with a 30 percent unfavorable view. If the election was held today, Sinema would lose. That can make things very difficult for Sinema to raise money for her reelection.
