Push Notification

The entire panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" pounced on Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) for blowing off accusations she has been repeatedly lying about a sexual assault victim in an effort to malign President Joe Biden long before she brought it up in last week's State of the Union response.

After sharing a clip of Britt appearing on Sen Ted Cruz's podcast laughing it up about Saturday Night Live spoofing her "scary mom" act, co-host Joe Scarborough wondered why it is Republican lawmakers can't admit it when they are wrong.

As the 2024 election season continues, swing voters will start to notice that Donald Trump is so wrapped up in legal cases that it's preventing him from addressing issues that people want to eventually see formulated into policy. Voters will eventually also figure out that the details surrounding his handling of classified information are much more criminal than they realize.

That's according to political strategist and publisher of The Bulwark, Sarah Longwell, during an appearance on CNN.

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters is getting taxpayers in his state to foot the bill to help him score interviews on Fox News and other right-wing media outlets.

Local news station Fox 25 reports that the Oklahoma State Department of Education earlier this month signed a contract with Washington D.C.-based Vought Strategies that will pay the firm $200 an hour to help Walters drum up publicity for himself and his initiatives.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough brutally mocked Donald Trump for claiming that no president had ever been treated worse than him.

The ex-president appeared Wednesday on Newsmax for an interview with host Greg Kelly, who obsequiously asked if anyone had ever endured such travails, and Trump allowed that Andrew Jackson and perhaps Abraham Lincoln had possibly been treated almost as poorly – and the "Morning Joe" host mocked his misery.

CNN host John Berman on Thursday claimed that special counsel Jack Smith's "frustration" with Judge Aileen Cannon appeared to be boiling over given some of his team's recent court filings.

While interviewing former federal prosecutor Donya Perry, Berman brought up the argument being made by Trump's lawyers that he had the right as president to take America's nuclear secrets with him after he left the White House in January 2021.

Reacting to reports that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers — now being considered vice presidential material by fringe candidate Robert Kennedy Jr — has engaged in spreading "deranged" Sandy Hook conspiracies, the co-hosts of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" thoroughly trashed him on Thursday morning.

On Wednesday, CNN reported the NFL player — who is becoming better known for his anti-vax rants than any exploits on the field — was overheard by CNN's Pamela Brown, "attacking the news media for covering up important stories. Rodgers brought up the tragic killing of 20 children and 6 adults by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School, claiming it was actually a government inside job and the media was intentionally ignoring it."

Wayward Republican pollster Sarah Longwell said on Thursday that former President Donald Trump is essentially waging psychological warfare against American voters by overloading their capacity to process outrage.

During an appearance on CNN, Longwell was asked about a recent column by the Financial Times' Edward Luce that argued about a dangerous acceptance and resignation among Americans about Trump's nonstop falsehoods.

Judge Aileen Cannon will hear former President Donald Trump's argument that he was entitled to keep any presidential documents he wanted, and a legal expert said that sends an ominous signal.

The former president's legal team has argued in court filings that the Mar-a-Lago case should be dismissed because they say the Presidential Records Act gave him the authority to decide which records he could take with him from the White House, and MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin told "Morning Joe" the hearing itself was cause for concern.

At a time when the 2024 presidential campaign is just kicking into gear, former President Donald Trump's ability to hit the road is facing a major roadblock as his Manhattan hush money trial begins in less than two weeks and is expected to suck up all his time for at least the next two months.

According to a report from the Daily Beast's Jake Lahut and Jose Pagliery, New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has set a "punishing" schedule for the trial that will look at the former president paying off adult film star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 presidential election.

Many of former President Donald Trump's staffers who likely lack security clearances were allegedly directed to handle classified documents, thus putting them in compromised situations, argued New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.

During an appearance on CNN, Haberman argued that after Brian Butler, a.k.a., "Trump Employee 5," revealed some of the inner workings behind Trump's alleged efforts to obstruct investigators, it's clear that the protection of the material and Mar-a-Lago employees' legal insulation wasn't given much consideration.

For many years, the Claremont Institute had a reputation for being a conventional conservative think tank.

Claremont was founded in 1979 by students of the late Harry V. Jaffa, who had been a speechwriter for the late Sen. Barry Goldwater (R-Arizona). The Claremont of the 1980s and 1990s was right-of-center but not far-right.

House Republican Conference chair Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-New York) recently patted herself on the back for a $1.8 million federal grant a community within her district received. However, that money came from a bill she and every other Republican opposed.

Local publication North Country This Week — based in Stefanik's 21st House District in upstate New York — reported that the US Department of Agriculture grant went toward the South Raquette Water District in Massena, NY. Stefanik took credit for the funding, telling the outlet that she helped fast-track the grant application through the House Appropriations Committee to quickly get the funds approved.
