Marjorie Taylor Greene's planned Jan. 6 celebration booted out of Florida venue: report

A planned meet-and-greet with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) commemorating the third anniversary of the January 6 attack has been left without a venue after Westgate Resorts in Kissimmee canceled their booking, reported NBC News on Thursday.

"The event was set to be hosted by the Republican Party of Osceola County at the Westgate Resorts in Kissimmee. It was originally pitched to Westgate as a small book-signing event featuring Greene, without mention of Jan. 6," reported Matt Dixon. "'Please be advised that Westgate was not made aware of the purpose of this event when we were approached to host a book signing,' Westgate Resorts said in a statement. 'This event has been canceled and is no longer taking place at our resort.'"

Jen Psaki drops the hammer on MAGA conservatives' new drive to 'rewrite' Jan. 6 history

On her last show of the year, MSNBC host Jen Psaki called out Donald Trump supporters who are going into the new year — and the 2024 presidential election — attempting to downplay or “rewrite” what happened on Jan. 6 when mobs of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol and tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.

Sharing clips of lawmakers like Senators Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) earlier taking to the Senate floor to express their disgust about the day lawmakers had to flee for their lives, the former White house press secretary compared them to recent comments by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Vivek Ramaswamy, who recently called the insurrection an “inside job.”

SCOTUS likely to let appeals court have last word on 'problematic' Trump pleading: expert

Appearing on MSNBC, former U.S. Attorney Carol Lam stated she didn't see the Supreme Court interested in stepping into the fight between Donald Trump and his lawyers with special counsel Jack Smith over whether the former president has wide-ranging immunity from being charged with crimes.

Reacting to a filing made by Smith on Saturday outlining the types of crimes a blanket immunity ruling could cover, Lam told MSNBC host Paola Ramos that she thinks the nation's highest court will let the D.C. Court of Appeals have the final word.

"What I think the Supreme Court may be thinking is, we are going to let the appellate court consider the issue first, and they've set a very expedited briefing and argument schedule for this," she began. "They're going to hear this argument in mid-January. So, if the Supreme Court or the majority of the Supreme Court fundamentally agrees with whatever the D.C. Circuit says, they may just decide not to take the case up in the Supreme Court, and just let the District of Columbia Appeals Court opinion stand."

"That way the Supreme Court will not have to actually render the ultimate decision on this case; they can just decline to take the case up and then they can leave for another day, deciding this particular issue as to the scope of presidential immunity," she continued. "But I do think that Jack Smith has the better argument because he's raised a number of potential scenarios that would be very problematic if a president could do anything he wanted with respect to trying to stay in office and could not be prosecuted for those things."

"I think that would be a very problematic position for the Supreme Court or even the D.C. Circuit to agree with," she added.

GOP put on notice about risk of Trump on 2024 ballot before the Supreme Court rules

During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday morning, former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks advised the Republican party to think twice about making Donald Trump their 2024 presidential nominee when there is a reasonable chance the Supreme Court could make him ineligible to serve should he win.


Speaking with fill-in host Charles Coleman Jr., the legal analyst said she feels the decision by the Colorado Supreme Court that the former president should not be allowed to run for office based on the 14th Amendment is solid and that the Supreme Court would likely agree.

Having said that, she explained the GOP could be saddled with a candidate at the top of the ticket who would be barred from taking office if he should win in November.

"I just see this as a very clear case of fact and law, coming together, with no possible conclusion other than that he is not eligible to be on the ballot and he is not eligible to hold office," she told the MSNBC host. "So you might say he could be on the primary ballot because it's up to the states and the state political parties. but why put someone on the ballot who then could not be inaugurated, because he can't hold office?"

"That would be much worse to me, than taking him off the ballot, so that the people can choose from people who are qualified," she added.

'It seems to me that if you can bar someone who's not old enough or who is not a natural born citizen, or who hasn't lived in the United States long enough as a U.S. citizen, natural born, then you can also bar someone who doesn't meet the 14th Amendment, Section 3 qualification requirements," she later added.

Judge Chutkan has the law on her side to slap down Trump's 'political argument': expert

Donald Trump's drive to round up as many GOP delegates as part of a legal strategy in his battle with U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Tanya Chutkan is unlikely to persuade her to go easy on him.

That is the opinion of a former prosecutor when asked if Trump is a guaranteed lock for the 2024 presidential nomination would that bolster his argument that his prosecution is politically motivated.

According to a report from the Messenger's Marc Caputo, the former president is frantically trying to add to his committed delegate total before his Washington, D.C., trial over alleged 2020 election interference begins as part of a wide-ranging defense strategy.

While special counsel Jack Smith is endeavoring to keep the former president and his legal team from pushing election interference conspiracies before the jury, Trump reportedly believes it will help him in the court of public opinion.

Caputo is reporting one Trump insider explaining, “The closer to the election this gets, the more pressure there is and the more people will see the politics. Judge Chutkan said she doesn’t care about Trump’s status as a candidate. This hasn’t worked. But if that trial date moves, will she be so steadfast in pursuit of a verdict and ignore the reality of an impending election? What does Jack Smith do?”

'Republicans better wake up': Trump lashes out at Mitch McConnell in overnight rant

In the middle of the night, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social account to issue a warning to his own party and then attack Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).


After days of lashing out at prosecutors involved in his multiple criminal trials and posting screenshots of polls showing him beating his GOP opposition for the 2024 presidential nomination, the former president took his own party to task and worried that the influx of immigrants will hurt the Republican Party's prospects.

Pouncing on the border crisis, Trump claimed "Crazed Democrats" are allowing "millions and millions" of immigrants to flood the country — and then put the blame on Republican McConnell.

Why Trump would be wise to let Stormy Daniels case go to trial quickly: legal expert

Donald Trump's legal team has been attempting to stall various legal proceedings against him, but an expert said the former president would be wise to allow one of them to proceed.

But MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos told "Morning Joe" that Trump would be smart to go ahead and face trial in Manhattan.

'You committed crimes': Jan. 6 rioter's pity party blows up in her face as prison looms

An attempt to generate support and pity just 13 days before she has to turn herself in to serve the prison phase of her almost 93-month sentence on nine counts related to the Jan. 6 riot did not go well for the unapologetic insurrectionist known as the "Bullhorn Lady."

Just days after Christmas, Rachel Powell, a mother of eight from Western Pennsylvania, took to X to assert she has no "criminal history" — despite her conviction in July for the attack on the Capitol where she was filmed hacking at a window with an ice axe.
