In CNN's "autopsy" on the failures of the COVID-19 crisis in 2020, Dr. Anthony Fauci explained that during the hardest moments in the pandemic, he was in a better position to be a "bad cop" than Dr. Deborah Birx.

"They referred to me as I would often say the skunk at the picnic," Fauci joked about his briefings. "Every time they say things were great, I said, 'Ehh, I don't think so."

MSNBC's "Morning Joe" opened with a revealing supercut showing the stark difference between President Joe Biden's confident leadership and his predecessor's divisive lies.

Biden gave his first news conference Thursday since becoming president, and he gave in-depth answers to the questions that were asked -- in contrast to former president Donald Trump's personal attacks, racist remarks and outright lies.

Speaking on CNN this Wednesday, former White House ethics czar Norman Eisen says the Georgia GOP's push to enact sweeping new voting restrictions is a "voter suppression bill, flat out."

According to Eisen, there's "no need" for enhanced voter ID requirements or cutting back on voter drop boxes.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough delivered a rapid -- and extensive -- fact-check to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's defense of the filibuster.

The Kentucky Republican insisted the Senate maneuver had "no racial history at all, none," and claimed there was "no dispute among historians" -- which Princeton historian Kevin Kruse strongly disputed in a series of tweets showing all the times the filibuster has been used to block progress in civil rights.

A former lawyer for Donald Trump is trying to wriggle out of a massive defamation suit by arguing that no reasonable person could believe her claims of election fraud -- but one legal expert told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that defense was dead on arrival.

Attorney Sidney Powell responded to the defamation complaint by insisting she had merely been sharing her opinion in multiple court filings, and argued that her claims were not meant to be taken seriously -- but Palm Beach state attorney Dave Aronberg said the Capitol insurrection disproved her defense.

The ex-wife of a top Trump Organization executive has spoken "multiple times" with investigators in Manhattan as part of the probe into the former president's business dealings.

Jennifer Weisselberg told NBC News she believes investigators are seeking evidence against her former father-in-law Allen Weisselberg -- the longtime chief financial officer for Donald Trump -- who prosecutors are reportedly trying to flip as a witness in the probe.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough explained why Democrats should call Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's bluff on ending the filibuster.

McConnell warned that Republicans would grind Senate business to a halt if Democrats changed the 60-vote threshold on the legislative filibuster, but the "Morning Joe" host said the rule would soon come to a well-deserved end.

Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY) appeared Tuesday morning on CNN to share racist voicemails she's received that blame her and other Asian-Americans for the novel coronavirus.

The New York Democrat went on CNN to discuss the wave of anti-Asian racism that has erupted over the last year, and she used the voicemails left at her office as examples to show what Asian-Americans have had to endure.

CNN intelligence expert Asha Rangappa explained that even if the Atlanta shooting can't be called a hate crime for the fact that he targeted Asian-Americans, it's clear he was out for blood against women, which is also a hate crime.

Speaking to CNN host Don Lemon Wednesday, Rangappa explained that it's an important point being lost by those claiming that the man was a "lone wolf" and just a mentally ill man.

"Late Night" host Seth Meyers' "Closer Look" segment focused on the failure of Fox News to turn President Joe Biden into someone people hate. He noted that it's really difficult to hate someone who's making good on campaign promises and delivering legislation that people want.

After the network went through a month trying to manifest culture wars with whatever conspiracy they could find in a comment thread, they've now tried to concoct scandals that don't even make sense.

On CNN Wednesday, political analyst John Avlon tore into the small group of Republicans who refused to vote to honor the Capitol Police who fought to hold off the pro-Trump rioters storming Congress on January 6.

"Let's talk about the 12," said anchor Erin Burnett. "The Dirty Dozen. Louie Gohmert and others on that list supported Trump's big lie that the election was stolen. People died that day because of that lie. That is — that's fact. And now they are voting against the Medals of Honor because they don't want to call it an insurrection."

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville characterized Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's recent threat about the filibuster as akin to a hostage crisis and is calling his bluff.

McConnell did a floor speech this past weekend threatening Democrats that if they eliminated the filibuster that he and the GOP would implement a "scorched Earth" response by trying to pass bills that Americans overwhelmingly oppose.

In the second half of her Wednesday show, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace addressed Russia's use of those close to President Donald Trump to meddle with another American election.

People like Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) and Rudy Giuliani were all part of an effort to spread misinformation crafted by Russian intelligence officials during the 2020 election campaign. Wallace showed clips of the lies from the men that match lies revealed after a report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence was declassified.
