During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) hammered Donald Trump for his blanket pardon of Jan. 6 "criminals," claiming the president has made the streets of America and the Capitol less safe.

Appearing with host Alex Witt, the military vet was asked "I'm curious your reaction to Trump pardoning the January 6th rioters that includes violent offenders"

"They're just criminals," he shot back. "I mean, Alex, how would you feel if –– I was actually just sort of in my small town of 20,000 people where I grew up, right? And I was thinking about if we had a bunch of people who assaulted cops, who tried to kill cops, were convicted and put in prison for 18, 20 or more years, and then they just were released and walking around town. How would I feel?"

"You know, would I feel good about having my kids walking down the street in that town? No!" he exclaimed. "How do I feel about bringing my kids, my two daughters, to the Capitol now, where daddy works knowing that Oath Keepers and Proud Boys are roaming around our Capitol –– and they have been the past week."

"I mean, as soon as they got out of prison, they were roaming around the Capitol looking for some of the same people they assaulted on January 6th," he added. "Does that make anyone feel good? No. This is supposed to be a country of laws where you respect the law, where no one is above the law, where you don't release people from prison for politics."

Donald Trump's continuing attempts to ingratiate himself with supporters of cryptocurrencies has hit a large speed-bump after he and some of his family members dipped their toes into the industry with their own digital coins which, in turn, infuriated some supporters who never saw it coming.

According to a report from the New York Times, crypto executives have long battled the perception that their industry is not on the up and up, and welcomed the newly elected president's plan to embrace the financial instrument.

During a segment on MSNBC discussing Donald Trump's first five days in office that has led to everything from pardoning violent criminals who stormed the Capitol to disrupting the Department of Justice, one guest said the ensuing chaos can be laid at the feet of the president's MAGA supporters.

Speaking with host Ali Velshi, the always blunt-talking Elie Mystal, an attorney and columnist for The Nation, said no one should be surprised by what has happened since Trump was sworn in on Monday.

Velshi prompted his guest with, "Elie it's been a fire hose of stuff going on in the federal government, generally in the Department of Justice, fairly specifically this week. Some have described it as a shock and awe campaign, which might be what it is. I guess the danger is in covering Trump 2.0, how do we deal with this?"

"We tried to tell y'all," Mystal exclaimed. "I wrote specifically about this issue, what he was going to do to the Department of Justice multiple times during the election cycle because, as you pointed out in your open, this was all written down. So I don't like the shock and awe version of this, because if you've been paying attention, they wrote it down, they told you exactly what they were going to do and exactly how you were going to do it."

"And a majority of white people voted for this," he continued. "This is the disgusting version of America that people want."

"And, oh by the way, eggs are still more expensive, so you don't even get that," he pointed out before sarcastically adding, "Great job, white folks!"

MSNBC host Michael Steele had more than a few words of advice for a Democratic freshman lawmaker on how to deal with her new Republican colleagues in the House.

Make them own the mess they are making of the country.

With Donald Trump back in the Oval Office and Republicans narrowly holding slim majorities in both chambers of Congress, the former RNC chair explained to an amused Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) that trying to work with Republicans is a losing game for the Democrats so let them sink or swim on their own.

With McBride telling Steele and his "The Weekend" co-host Symone Sanders Townsend that she was looking forward to working on bi-partisan legislation with the party across the aisle, Steele pulled her up short.

"Congresswoman, I know we're getting ready to let you go, but I just want to say this: y'all need to chill on this, all this kumbaya partisan bi-partisan crap," Steele told the laughing McBride.

Reading from an NBC report, he continued, "Because at the end of the day, here's your headline: 'Republicans shoot down Democratic requests to ditch party line immigration, push and write a bipartisan bill instead. Senate Republicans are making it clear they will pursue a border package without Democratic input.'"

"They don't want to work with you, they're not going to work with you," he lectured. "They have the House, the Senate and the White House. Let them choke on that."

Reacting to comments Donald Trump made while doing photo-ops in hurricane-ravaged North Carolina on Friday, where he repeatedly claimed he would give consideration to shutting down the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the two hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend" stated MAGA voters may one day regret voting for him.

“I think we’re going to recommend that FEMA go away,” the president proposed while suggesting he would like states to take over FEMA's responsibilities individually.

Noting that it has lately been red states that have been hit by natural disasters, including the wide swath of conservative states that reside in the so-called "tornado alley," hosts Symone Sanders Townsend and Michael Steele suggested voters in those states who approve of Trump won't like what comes next if he makes good on his promise.

After pointing out Congress would have to be involved in the dismantling if Trump is serious, Steele explained, "You know, Louisiana, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, all those states ––."

"Florida," co-host Sanders Townsend interrupted.

"All of those states." Steele agreed. "Then we get into tornado alley. Those states: Ohio, Iowa ––so y'all going to be prepared to just have the federal government just go away in terms of its response and leave it to you? I just want to know how they're going to pay for it."

"How are they going to pay for it?" his co-host repeated. "Well, you know, Michael, you know, they say this is what this is what they voted for. "

"This is what they voted for," repeated her colleague.

After just one week in office, President Donald Trump has already followed through on many of his second-term promises, including some of his most controversial proposals. Now, a former Republican Capitol Hill staffer is urging her former colleagues to take a stand.

The Guardian recently reported on Trump's busy first week back in the White House, which was rife with sweeping executive orders (including one deemed "blatantly unconstitutional" by a federal judge) and pardons of roughly 1,500 people charged and/or convicted in connection with the January 6, 2021 insurrection. Tara Setmayer — who was a communications director for a House Republican for seven years — warned that the second Trump administration could get much worse unless he encounters more resistance from within his party.
