Reacting to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) getting into a shouting match during a House hearing with Reps. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). MSNBC host Alex Witt suggested there may be more going on below the surface with the Georgia Republican than just trading insults.

Welcoming fellow MSNBC co-host Ali Velshi, who sat with Crockett for an interview earlier Saturday morning to talk about her returning fire at Taylor Greene with her now-viral "bleach blond, bad-built butch body" potshot, Witt wondered why the Georgia lawmaker decided to pick a fight.

During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, Princeton University professor and MSNBC regular Eddie Glaude said he was encouraged by Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett's refusal to ignore verbal abuse from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

During a House hearing this week discussing a bill mark-up, the abrasive Georgia Republican sneered at the Texas Democrat, "I don’t think you know what you’re here for. I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Katie Phang Show," former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade and Lawfare correspondent Anna Bower stated Donald Trump's lead lawyer Todd Blanche has a lot of work to do in the few days remaining in the Manhattan hush money trial.

Speaking with the host, McQuade claimed attorney Blanche's grilling of former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen was riddled with "rookie mistakes" with Bower noting the ex-president's lawyer managed to bore some of the jurors with his aggressive yet scattershot questioning.

An attorney who served in the Central Intelligence Agency’s Office of General Counsel took to the pages of the New York Times to accuse U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon of aiding and abetting Donald Trump's theft of government documents by not letting the DOJ's case get a fair hearing.

According to Brian Greer who claims he has "expertise in Espionage Act prosecutions similar to the one pending against Mr. Trump, who is accused of illegally taking classified state documents from the White House after he left office," Cannon's conduct since the case was assigned to her is "inexcusable" and a sign she is not fit to oversee the trial of the man who handed her her lifetime appointment to the bench.

When Donald Trump's lawyers make their Monday morning appearance in Judge Juan Merchan's courtroom they may face being put on the spot over their client's recurring refusal to abide by the judge's gag order.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend," former Manhattan Asst. District Attorney Catherine Christian pointed out that Trump's complicity in recruiting and assisting Republican lawmakers to attack participants in his hush money trial was expressly forbidden by the judge and the former president could be in for more trouble.

Even the most far-right members of the House Republican Conference are condemning Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-Georgia) hijacking of a recent committee hearing.

During a Thursday night meeting of the House Oversight Committee, members were debating legislation to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt when Greene suddenly insulted Rep. Jasmine Crockett's (D-Texas) "fake eyelashes." This resulted in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) coming to Crockett's defense, demanding that Greene's words be struck from the record and for the Georgia Republican to apologize. Crockett asked committee chair Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) if, hypothetically, she would be in the wrong for mentioning that a certain member of the committee had a "bleach blonde, bad built butch body."

Reacting to Donald Trump's attack on President Joe Biden on Friday night, where the former president suggested the man who beat him in 2020 should have to undergo a drug test, former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele invited Trump to take the lead and go first.

On Saturday morning's edition of MSNBC's "The Weekend," co-host Steele lambasted Trump for creating a needless distraction before the first 2024 presidential debate.

The Republican Party's pursuit of a Senate majority after the 2024 election may be in jeopardy with a slate of rich political newcomers scrambling to convince voters that they are just like them.

According to MSNBC analyst Ja'Han Jones, multiple rich Republicans are trying to use the Donald Trump playbook and paint their success as a rags-to-riches story that is just as bogus as the former president's and it's a tough climb.
