Republicans, and some Democrats, are criticizing New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul over pushing forward her Manhattan toll plan — "known as congestion pricing" — according to a Sunday Politico report.

Per Politico, "In a dramatic and jarring move, Hochul suddenly delayed the tolls in June over concerns they would kneecap Democratic House candidates in battleground races," but in a recent "about face, she revived congestion pricing in the aftermath of the election and nixed a planned $15 toll in favor of $9."

Donald Trump is getting an unearned boost for his own political agenda based on a recent terror attack, according to a report.

Newsmax host Sarah Williamson contradicted conservative activist David Sumrall for denying that supporters of Donald Trump violently rioted at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Rep. Jake Auchincloss (D-MA) warned that so-called fiscal hawks in the Republican Party were poised to "blow up the deficit" if they followed President-elect Donald Trump's plan to cut taxes while funding mass deportations.

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Mike Emanuel asked Auchincloss about working with Republicans to enact the "Trump agenda" in the new Congress.

Speaking with MSNBC host Jen Psaki on Sunday, longtime political strategist James Carville veered swiftly from attacking House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to calling out the editorial page editor of the Washington Post for covering for owner Jeff Bezos by shooting down an unflattering cartoon.

After calling lawmaker Johnson a 'bald-faced liar," Carville brought up the WaPo controversy that exploded when Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes announced she had quit her job with the paper after 16 years because op-ed editor David Shipley spiked her latest piece of work.

Trump 2024 campaign official Corey Lewandowski defended President-elect Donald Trump for falsely suggesting a man killed over a dozen people in New Orleans after crossing an open border into the United States.

Fox News host Maria Bartiromo challenged Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) for supporting a massive bill that would cut taxes and fund President-elect Donald Trump's plan for mass deportations and tax cuts.

"The idea is to obviously keep the promises that President Trump made," Bartiromo told Donalds in a Sunday interview. "But there's all these new complexities now to the tax policy plans, because Trump has said he wants no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security and all the rest."

On Sunday morning, all three of the hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend" laughed off a report that Donald Trump's inner circle has instructed his cabinet nominees to stay off social media until after they have had their confirmation hearings.

Earlier in the week the New York Post reported that Trump's incoming chief of staff Susie Wiles sent out a memo to nominees, instructing them: "While this instruction has been delivered previously, I am reiterating that no member of the incoming administration or Transition speaks for the United States or the President-elect himself."

“Accordingly, all intended nominees should refrain from any public social media posts without prior approval of the incoming White House counsel,” she added.

That led to a round of sarcasm on the MSNBC morning show.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said he will vote against President-elect Donald Trump's plan to eliminate or raise the debt limit.

During a Sunday interview on Sunday Morning Futures, Fox News host Mara Bartiromo noted that Trump planned to eliminate or raise the debt limit as part of a large bill that would include funding border security.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) raised his voice at Republicans who want to pass tax cuts at the same time as border security measures.

Reacting to a report from Vaughan Hilyard of NBC News that Donald Trump held a secretive Mar-a-Lago celebration Saturday night when he invited several architects of the attempt to overturn the 2020 election results, MSNBC's Michael Steele warned the country that things are about to take a turn for the worst.

After co-host Symone Sanders Townsend called the honoring of disgraced attorney John Eastman, who came up with the failed plan to push ex-Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to certify the 2020 election results, "sickening," Steele had a few things to say.

"The reality, at least for me, goes to the heart of what Symone said," he began. "Folks, the slime you feel right now when hear this story, that thing in your gut that goes, us, this doesn't seem right? We only have one president at a time and Trump didn't give a crap about that. He's the man and that's all that matters,"

'"Donald Trump at this point is going to re-litigate 2020, so you all need to buckle down, and Vaughn, get your pad ready, baby, because you will be writing about 2020 as if it happened yesterday. Because, from where he sitting, he wants to prove that that election was stolen. That is why he is loving up this menagerie of misfits. He didn't want them around him because he had no use for them because he didn't know if he'd get back in the White House but now he's back and they are back."
