A prominent elections expert issued a dire warning on Thursday about President Donald Trump's latest threat following Tuesday's elections.

Democrats won several key races on Tuesday, including the gubernatorial races in New Jersey and Virginia, as well as a host of statewide races. Some experts have described the results as a "total repudiation" of the Trump administration.

With Thanksgiving just three weeks away, many families will soon be hitting grocery stores for all the staples — and paying significantly higher prices than in previous years. President Donald Trump is arguing prices are lower in 2025, but he's leaving out significant details.

In a recent post to his Truth Social account, Trump asserted that families will be paying less for Thanksgiving dinner than they did under former President Joe Biden, saying key items will be "25 percent lower ... according to Walmart." He insisted that prices under his administration are "lower than the Democrats on everything, especially oil and gas" and proclaimed "the Democrats 'affordability' issue is DEAD!"

One CNN host lamented that the airline companies are being treated as "pawns" in President Donald Trump's game of politics.

At the top of her Thursday show, Erin Burnett noted how essential air traffic controllers are to keeping the country safe while coordinating planes going hundreds of miles an hour. They, along with TSA agents, aren't being paid during the government shutdown. In past shutdowns, there were agreements that some workers were paid or compensated afterward.

Elon Musk is the world’s richest person, with an estimated net worth of nearly $500 billion, but the Tesla CEO could become the world’s first trillionaire, thanks to a controversial pay package approved Thursday by the electric vehicle company’s shareholders.

Ahead of the vote, a coalition of labor unions and progressive advocacy groups launched the “Take Back Tesla” campaign, urging shareholders to reject the package for its CEO, who spent much of this year spearheading President Donald Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which prompted nationwide protests targeting the company.

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board bashed the "dysfunction" that appears to be hampering the Food and Drug Administration under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s leadership.

Recently, the administration's top drug regulator, George Tidmarsh, the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research chief, resigned from the agency and was sued by a Canadian drug maker for allegedly defaming the company in a LinkedIn post. The editorial board also noted that the agency has "arbitrary and shifting standards" for drug developers, which dissuade the creation of new medicines.

s the government shutdown drags into its 37th day, many military families are struggling with hunger and food insecurity. One nonprofit organization is scrambling to make sure military spouses and their children can still have enough to eat while their spouses are deployed.

On Thursday, CNN host Brianna Keilar reported that even before the shutdown began on October 1, military families had long been feeling squeezed when it came to having enough to eat. But after the shutdown, food insecurity became a "full-blown crisis" for thousands of military families. Shannon Razadin, who is the CEO of the Military Family Advisory Network, told Keilar that she received approximately 50,000 requests for help with buying groceries in less than three days."

President Donald Trump appears to be neglecting his MAGA base, and that is setting off "alarm bells" among his Republican colleagues, according to one analyst.

Over the past few weeks, Trump's MAGA base has seen him globetrotting around Asia while threatening to wage war in Venezuela and Niger. All the while, domestic issues like a weak job market and persistent inflation continue to harm his constituents.

White House Correspondent Andrew Egger recently wrote in the Bulwark that most presidents view a major off-year election loss as “the political equivalent of a punch in the mouth,” and they change their tactics. This goes double in an election that was seen as a clear repudiation of a president’s policies.

“If there’s good news for [President Donald] Trump here, it’s that the [election] damage was contained to a couple governorships and state supreme court and legislative elections,” said Egger. “The GOP’s coalmine canary has croaked, but the miners are all still alive. They may even remain so. But that will depend largely on how [President] Donald Trump responds.”

Democrats sense blood in the water in the shutdown standoff following their blowout election wins across the country this week — and are debating among themselves how best to press their upper hand, according to a new report.

The core issue of the shutdown continues to be securing an extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies that are expiring for millions of Americans and causing health insurance premiums to skyrocket. Democrats are adamantly holding out for Republicans to agree to this; Republicans have said they will bargain on it, but refuse to do so until after the shutdown has concluded.

Democrats’ sweeping victories in elections across the country this week may not be buying goodwill for party leadership among grassroots Democratic activists.

Progressive organizing group Our Revolution on Thursday released a survey over more than 3,500 voters showing there is overwhelming support for running primary challenges against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who for months have come under fire for failing to more aggressively combat President Donald Trump’s administration.

A former FBI agent revealed on Thursday that the Trump administration's repeated episodes of "spewing lies" have had a significant impact on his former colleagues inside federal law enforcement.

Michael Feinberg is a former FBI agent who was fired earlier this year after he was found to have socialized with President Donald Trump's foe, Peter Strzok. He discussed the impact of Trump's lies on federal law enforcement on MSNBC's "Deadline White House" with Nicolle Wallace.

The Department of Justice is pushing back on a federal court order to turn over the grand jury testimony that acting U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan used to secure an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey to the defense counsel.

This week, Senior U.S. District Court Judge Cameron McGowan Currie surprised some legal observers by taking the unusual step of ordering the grand jury testimony turned over to Comey's team, as grand jury material usually stays permanently sealed and discovery involving it is rare. This could potentially be a sign the judge thinks misconduct may have occurred to persuade the grand jury to indict Comey, which would be grounds for dismissing the case before it even gets to the merits. The magistrate judge also ordered these documents turned over.
