File this one under, Ya Think? On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-host Eugene Daniels, interviewing the authors of a book about the 2024 election, mused: "Have we just underestimated Donald Trump's popularity with the American people?"Of course "we"—meaning the liberal media—underestimated Trump's popularity. They couldn't imagine that a majority of voters would support someone that the MSM had spent the previous eight years denouncing as Hitler redux, the proverbial "existential threat" to American democracy. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Donald Trump and his allies have the U.S. census in their sights as they continue to pursue their anti-democratic visions for the country. Touring a controversial new immigrant detention center in Florida on Tuesday, Donald Trump excitedly backed a proposal from far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., that would drastically alter the U.S. electoral map if implemented. Greene said Monday that her proposal, which she said she will introduce in the House, would require the Census Bureau to “immediately” conduct a new census — even though the census takes place every 10 years, with the next one set for 2030....

A federal judge in New Hampshire granted class-action status to a lawsuit seeking to protect babies who would be denied birthright citizenship by the Trump administration and granted a temporary block of the order restricting birthright citizenship from going into effect throughout the country. The suit was brought on behalf of a pregnant immigrant, immigrant parents and their infants and had sought class action status for all babies around the country who would be affected by Trump’s executive order and their parents. Cody Wofsy, the lead attorney on the case with the American Civil Liberties Union, argued for class-action status...

The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last week that a trans teacher in Florida has no right to refer to herself with the gendered honorific “Ms.” or ask to be referred to with the pronouns she/her under what critics have called Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” law. The trans algebra teacher, Katie Wood, sued her employer, the Hillsborough County School Board, in 2023 soon after Florida’s anti-LGBTQ law was enacted. A lower court found that the law likely infringes on her First Amendment free speech rights and granted a preliminary injunction. However, the conservative-leaning appeals court overruled the lower...

For every silver lining, we must find a cloud! That is, if you're the liberal media, and the Trump administration and Israel have pulled off audacious strikes on Iran, severely damaging its nuclear facilities and eliminating many of its top military leaders and nuclear scientists. Thus it was that on Monday's Morning Joe, Katty Kay introduced a segment on the results of the strikes by proclaiming her intent was "not to throw cold water on any potential optimism" as to how there could be a moment for Israel to find peace with Saudi Arabia and in Gaza. In a discussion...

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) said Saturday on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” that President Donald Trump was implementing mass deportation in an attempt to “bleach America.” Wasserman Schultz said, “Again, more Trump lies, more people being thrown into a dire situation where many of them will ultimately die when they’re deported back to countries like Venezuela and Haiti, which clearly don’t have conditions in which it is safe or a place that has the environment to take people back.” …

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries refused to delve into the controversy surrounding socialist New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani’s description of himself as “black or African American” on his application for Columbia University in 2009. Jeffries (D-NY), the highest-ranking black elected official in the US, contorted live on air to dodge the controversy and changed the topic to affordability concerns that have been top of mind for voters. “The issue that we have to deal with in New York City, which our Democratic nominee did talk about extensively during the primary campaign, is affordability,” Jeffries told Rev. Al Sharpton’s “PoliticsNation”...

Was Eugene Daniels trying to top Kamala Harris in the Worst July 4th Take Stakes? Harris posted on X: “This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better." On Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, Daniels wondered out loud: "I wonder what the Founding Fathers would think. You know, those slave-owning ones, about us [Daniels and Jonathan Capehart] on this show. But we're going to move on from that." Too late to "move on," Eugene. You already made your bid to outdo...

Jonathan Capehart was filled with virtue signaling -- um, we mean righteous indignation! -- as he opened Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend. [snip] apehart then shifted his outrage to Trump's immigration policies: "The first immigrant detainees have arrived at the crudely named Alligator Alcatraz, human beings who are being kept in cages."What kind of heartless SOB could detain not just adults, but children, in these pictured conditions, and even defend it, saying he was "proud," adding: "If they’re good enough for our military, they’re good enough for these young people."Truly, Trump is the most despicable, callous, cold-hearted villain ever...

The Trump administration is being sued by a Honduran woman after ICE detained her and her children, including her six-year-old son who was diagnosed with leukemia. Their story is just one of many of immigrants being targeted by the White House. MSNBC's Ayman Mohyeldin, Catherine Rampell, Anotnia Hylton and Elise Jordan speak with Columbia Law School's Elora Mukherjee who is representing the Honduran family suing ICE.

Who knew? Illegal aliens aren't lawbreakers: they're a "community!" Just ask Maria Teresa Kumar, the MSNBC contributor and head of Voto Latino. On Monday's Morning Joe, discussing the impact of the Supreme Court ruling limiting the right of federal district court judges to issue rulings purporting to apply to the entire country, Kumar said: "What Trump does is that he uses the undocumented community as a canary in the coal mine to test our institutions and to see how far we're willing to go to start eroding their rights." What other "communities" might Trump threaten? The tax-evader community? The burglar...

Gee, thanks. Tough call, George, but you made it. On Sunday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, co-founder of the disgraced Lincoln Project co-founder (still wrongly labeled a "Conservative Attorney") George Conway said that we should condemn political violence"even if" Donald Trump is the target. Imagine a MAGA personality—let alone President Trump himself—saying: "We need to condemn political violence even if the target is [fill in the blank with the name of a prominent Democrat.]"

In the linked MSNBC interview, Mandini emphasizes his commitment to protect the Jewish community from anti-Semitic hate crime attacks.

Far-left Democrats are tickled pink that radical Islamic socialist Zohran Mamdani beat former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in yesterday’s Big Apple mayoral primary. Indeed, top Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), are apparently not concerned about Mamdani’s obviously crazed views and plans, including arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should he visit New York. The victory means Mamdani will almost certainly become the next mayor. Mamdani’s BackgroundMamdani is an Indian Muslim from Uganda who was naturalized in 2018. He takes his middle name, Kwame, from Ghanian communist Kwame Nkrumah. Added to that problematic past are his views,...

Former MSNBC host Joy Reid has revealed that she's become disillusioned with the Democratic Party to the point where she's 'barely hanging on'. The left-wing commentator said she believes the current Democrat line-up is fueling Donald Trump's agenda by failing to provide effective political opposition. 'I've been a Democrat since I was old enough to vote, but I'm barely hanging on,' Reid told The Breakfast Club podcast on Tuesday. 'At this point, the party is not bigger than the future of my kids. I have three children, that have to live in this country as black people, and fascism doesn't...

The mainstream media tried to destroy Trump—but in the end, they destroyed themselves. This is the story of anchors who lost their minds, reporters who lost their careers, and a media machine that couldn’t handle President Trump.

Representative Thomas Massie (R-KY) said Monday on MSNBC’s “All In” that he was not bothered by President Donald Trump’s criticisms because he had developed what he called “Trump antibodies.” Host Chris Hayes said, “You obviously, you’ve taken some votes that have really put you on an island, I think it’s fair to say. You’re the single, solitary, no vote on that on that Big, Beautiful Bill that was coming through the House.” He asked, “I’m not going to read the entirety of this long post from the president, but he said he’s called you a simple minded grandstander. That MAGA...

Imagine going to the doctor and being told that the medication you’ve been taking for years is now illegal to prescribe to you. The doctor can give it to other people who are different from you — people experiencing depression, for example, or women going through menopause, or cancer patients — but it’s no longer allowed for people like you. ...news broke of a manager’s amendment to the budget that changed what was initially a ban on gender-affirming care for youth on Medicaid into a ban on adult transition care on Medicaid. A change to one line in the budget...

"I think President Trump was wrong. He went against the Constitution." Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, joined Chris Jansing on MSNBC Reports to discuss the legality of President Trump’s move to launch military strikes on Iran.
