CNN's Alayna Treene highlighted a "significant" comment made by President Donald Trump in a wide-ranging interview with the New York Times about his administration's plans for Venezuela.

The 79-year-old president told the New York Times during a nearly two-hour interview he expected the U.S. to run Venezuela for the foreseeable future and praised the interim government, which is made up of loyalists of ousted leader Nicolás Maduro, for so far “giving us everything that we feel is necessary.”

A former Border Patrol commissioner laid into the Department of Homeland Security on Thursday morning, claiming the shooting death of an innocent 37-year-old mother in Minneapolis by an ICE agent should never have happened.

Appearing on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” Gil Kerlikowske lamented the “level of cruelty,” that has risen dramatically under Donald Trump’s administration and pointed the finger at DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and her de facto chief of staff Corey Lewandowski among others.

President Donald Trump has "scrambled" the bipartisan congressional talks on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies, Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman reported on Thursday — by pushing Republicans to make a concession many of them aren't willing to make.

For over a month now, Democrats and Republicans have both agreed to the broad outlines of a deal on the subsidies, which expired at the end of last year after a dramatic shutdown standoff and have resulted in millions of people facing higher health care premiums across the country, particularly in a handful of Republican-controlled states. The idea is to extend the subsidies for two years, but put stricter limits on income, and get rid of $0 premium plans the GOP believes invite a risk of fraud.

A fuming Jonathan Lemire thoroughly dismantled what he determined to be lies by Donald Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi about the point-blank killing of 37-year-old Renee Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday by an ICE agent, an incident which has set off a national outcry.

On MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” the panel repeatedly showed the clip of the killing of Good by an agent who did not appear to be in danger, which also led Noem to call the victim a “domestic terrorist.”

President Donald Trump has dived headlong into the new year with a list of policy demands — but it's already apparent at least some of them are going to be rejected by House Republicans, even as the chamber has shown him a great deal of loyalty up to this point.

According to Politico, Trump "fired off a flurry of ultimatums and declarations on Wednesday, first calling for Congress to ban large investors from acquiring single-family homes, a proposal expected to be included in an upcoming executive order addressing affordability" — then demanded that defense contractors be prohibited from issuing stock buybacks and dividends and have their executive pay capped at $5 million, in response to delays in contracts, and called in Congress to increase the defense budget from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion.

Republicans face growing concern that a significant Supreme Court ruling they anticipate will influence November's elections in their direction may not be delivered in time, according to Politico.

The case in question is Louisiana v. Callais, which would effectively dismantle key provisions of the Voting Rights Act and allow Republican-controlled legislatures to redraw districts in ways that diminish the political power of Black and Hispanic communities.

A former insider in President Donald Trump's orbit offered a sobering prediction for the president during an interview with CNN on Wednesday night.

Former Vice President Mike Pence joined CNN's Kaitlan Collins on "The Source" to discuss the latest developments in the Trump administration. He argued that the administration's decision to arrest Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro without international support and other issues could pose a threat to the rest of Trump's term.
