Donald Trump still considers himself a kingmaker in Republican politics, but MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said his brand remains "toxic" with most voters.

GOP candidates dutifully visit Mar-A-Lago to beg for Trump's endorsement in a spectacle straight out of "The Apprentice" reality TV show, but the "Morning Joe" host said they're fooling themselves if they think that will help win a general election.

Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) released the right-wing "Plan to Rescue America" that he intended as a winning message ahead of the midterm elections, but voters are hostile to the GOP vision for America.

Even fellow Republicans are bashing his requirement for poor people to pay income taxes, and Democrats have been running ads against the proposal that even Scott has found difficult to justify, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has found strong opposition to other proposal that would end popular federal programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act, reported NBC News.

Russian propaganda outlets see Donald Trump as their "partner," and they're hoping he runs again for president.

Julia Davis, who monitors Russian media and publishes columns for The Daily Beast, told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Russian propaganda and Fox News programming are pushing similar divisive messages as Kremlin troops punish Ukraine.

One of Vladimir Putin's greatest enemies predicted a grim endgame for the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Bill Browder, an American investor and one of the world's most prominent Putin critics, told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the Russian president had risked everything on the invasion, which made it impossible for him to give up despite his army's losses.

A historian who's publishing a record of Donald Trump's presidency believes he will make another run for the White House.

Princeton University historian Julian Zelizer, the editor of the forthcoming book The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: A First Historical Assessment, told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that he was was contacted by the former president, who had read about his work and wanted to correct the record with his own version of reality.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough laid into the Manhattan district attorney for his handling of a criminal investigation into Donald Trump's business practices.

Two prosecutors quit the case in frustration earlier this year, although district attorney Alvin Bragg insists the probe remained active, but the "Morning Joe" host said the former president was widely known as a longtime crook.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough condemned Vladimir Putin's "vile" escalation of his war against Ukraine, and warned that it would prove disastrous to his regime.

Russian forces killed at least 30 people and wounded 100 or more in an attack on a train station in Donetsk as the brutal invasion drags on, but the "Morning Joe" host said Russia could never truly win the war.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough bashed Republican senators for disrespecting newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson after she became the first Black woman to join the court.

Four GOP senators -- Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Jim Inhofe (R-OK), and Jerry Moran (R-KS) and Rand Paul (R-KY) -- voted against Jackson's confirmation from the Senate cloakroom, after Graham showed up in a polo shirt and Paul in khaki slacks, which violate the dress code, and Republicans then walked out after her nomination passed 53-47.

Ivanka Trump spent about eight hours answering questions about the Jan. 6 insurrection in testimony before the House select committee.

Committee chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS) said her virtual testimony was "not in broad, chatty terms, but she's answering questions," and NBC News reporter Ryan Reilly explained how she might have resolved the inherent tension between her desire to portray herself as a positive influence on her father but without implicating him in criminal wrongdoing.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough bashed Republican senators for opposing the confirmation of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson for purely political reasons.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) plainly stated that Republicans would not even have granted Jackson a hearing if they held the majority, and the "Morning Joe" host slammed the GOP senator for seeking revenge for previous confirmation hearings.
