Three key Republicans in the House are breaking from President Donald Trump's strategy to pass funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in the latest complication to a process already rife with disagreement.

During an appearance on MS NOW on Thursday morning, Cook Political Report Senior Analyst Dave Wasserman delivered grim news to the Republican Party, with the midterm election only seven months away.

Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) has a sharp message for acting Attorney General Todd Blanche: take January 6 seriously, or you won't be confirmed to your role permanently.

This comes after Blanche delivered a triumphant speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference about how he "cleaned house" and got rid of many federal prosecutors who worked on January 6 cases. He also bragged about the pardons issued to the January 6 rioters and told the crowd, "when folks say ‘you’ve done nothing,’ I say you have a very short memory."

Veteran Democrat strategist James Carville was hit by a red-hot Donald Trump attack — and he hit back with better than he got.

Donald Trump’s Iran problem is not going away and maybe worsening, and he can thank the only three people who seem to have his ear, according to the panel on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe.”

With the Strait of Hormuz still caught up in a stranglehold as a result of the president’s unprovoked war on the Middle Eastern nation, Trump has been fuming at the current state of affairs that is costing him MAGA support and has an increasing number of GOP lawmakers looking for a way to rein him in.

A former staffer to President Donald Trump sighed heavily when discussing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's latest moved aimed at consolidating power within the U.S. military.

President Donald Trump has all the impulses of a fascist autocrat — but there's a key weakness that stands in the way of achieving his goals of reshaping the nation, historian and professor Timothy Snyder told The Daily Beast.

Specifically, he argued, Trump and his inner circle are just too greedy and distracted by their personal wealth ambitions to make the long-term decisions that would help them achieve ideological goals.

With three Cabinet members ousted by Donald Trump since March 5, a handful of Republican senators are growing anxious for several reasons that the firing hammer is about to drop on more, in part because the president is in a “bad mood” with his administration flailing.

According to a report from Politico’s Jordain Carney, four GOP lawmakers are anticipating a purge in part because the midterms are coming up and, should the GOP lose control of the Senate, confirmation hearings under a Democratic majority would be problematic at best.

Republicans are in a state of "buyers' remorse" after President Donald Trump's demands for them to redraw congressional districts to give themselves extra seats backfired.

According to Axios, "What began as an effort to create more GOP-controlled seats — and avoid a Democratic takeover that would weaken President Trump — now could be a wash, or even add to Democrats' edge. At Trump's request, Republicans kicked off the unusual mid-decade redistricting push in Texas. But that effort triggered counter-moves in Democrat-led California and Virginia, where voters on Tuesday approved a new map that could leave the GOP with just one seat, down from five."
