MSNBC host Tiffany Cross host has declared that “we want to see” authorities arrest President Donald Trump and “perp walk” him publicly. Cross casually veered away from impartial journalism and gave up the game while talking to talk show host Roland S. Martin and MSNBC legal analyst Glenn Kirschner. They were discussing the FBI raiding Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home last Monday. “Because this has never happened because this is so unprecedented,” Cross said. “I’m just curious how the DOJ might go about charging a former president because we’ve never seen this happen before.

'Star Wars' character Obi-Wan Kenobi only became more powerful after he was defeated. So if Rep. Liz Cheney is ousted from her leadership role by House Republicans, could she actually become a bigger foil for the party's Trump loyalists backing 'the big lie'? We discuss that with Cornell Belcher and Michael Steele.

MSNBC contributor Donny Deutsch said Monday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” said in a few years, former President Donald Trump will be seen by a majority of Americans “as a heinous villainous character in American history.”Anchor Nicolle Wallace said, “Congressman Adam Kinzinger, one of the January 6, Select Committee’s two Republican members that in a few years, he predicts, Trump supporters will abandon the disgraced de-platformed, twice-impeached ex-president Donald j. Trump…Donny, I want to start with you here. I mean, what do you think? Do you think Trump could sort of rise and then plunge? I mean, he’s been forgotten before.”Deutsch said,...

New York (Knewz) — Despite high gas prices, Americans trust Democrats more than Republicans when it comes to energy, according to a new poll. According to a recent Morning Consult/POLITICO poll, 41 percent of Americans trust Democrats in Congress, compared to 39 percent among Republican support..... The fact the poll showed Americans trust Democrats when it comes to energy was among the closest to breaking even, along with gun policy. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percent.

Skipping all the BS, Thursday ratings (8-11 p.m.): MSNBC: 3.95 million Fox News: 2.92 million CNN: 2.58 million

Nicolle Wallace is a disgrace. I went through the transcript of her MSNBC show yesterday multiple times. Surely, there must be something there! It beggars the imagination that a TV show devoted to political news could have failed to cover a story that broke earlier that same day--the arrest of an armed man outside the house of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and who admitted that his plan was to assassinate him. But yes, as incredible as it seems, Nicolle Wallace failed to devote any time--not one second--to that story during her two hours of MSNBC airtime on yesterday's Deadline:...

Governor Phil Murphy (D-NJ) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Katy Tur Reports” that “war has been declared on the American woman” when asked to react to the Politico report that the Supreme Court has made a 5-4 decision to overturn abortion. Tur said, “Even if the 1973 decision is reversed, abortion would be illegal in states like New Jersey. It is more than a handful of Democratic red states that codified the abortion into state law. Joining me now is Governor Phil Murphy. Governor, thank you for being with us. What is your reaction?”

The Republican Party's assault on queer Americans has ramped up in the past two years, as evidenced by its bills seeking to ban school lessons about gay and transgender people, measures intended to bar gender-affirming care, and policies barring trans kids from participating in youth sports.

Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asks Jen Psaki about swimming rules in the NCAA, charging Putin with war crimes and Florida’s so-called ‘Don’t say gay bill.’...

The Biden administration’s sharp-elbowed White House press secretary Jen Psaki has emerged as a top candidate for Rachel Maddow’s anchor chair, according to a new report. Psaki, who has plans to leave the White House this year, is being courted by several news networks, including CNN and MSNBC, according to newsletter Puck. A source told The Post that UTA super agent and co-president Jay Sures shopped the idea of Psaki as a potential cable news primetime host all over town, drumming up interest, before he signed her.

Republicans in the Florida House and Senate have proposed a map that would largely preserve the political status quo, while DeSantis wants to boost prospects for congressional Republicans. Gov. Ron DeSantis is barreling toward an unusual showdown with Florida Republicans in a redistricting fight that centers on a largely Black congressional district. Despite controlling both the Legislature and the Governor’s Mansion, Republicans are at odds over how Florida’s 28 congressional districts should look over the next decade. The intra-party debate is focused on the 5th Congressional District — which is about 46 percent Black — which DeSantis wants to divide...

MSNBC legal analyst Brittany Packnett Cunningham said Thursday on “The ReidOut” that the slogan Make America Great Again reflected a desire to return to “days when you could lynch or murder black folks.” While discussing a proposed Missouri self-defense law, host Joy Reid said, “As expected, Mark McCloskey, who is running for the open Missouri Senate seat, praised the bill. Because it means that he essentially, and his wife, could have been in their slippers and shoot every single Black Lives Matter person that walked by, legally, and they would not even be detained.” AD Packnett Cunningham said, “Joy, I’m...

Joe Biden never ended the war in Afghanistan (MSNBC, per FR rules.

Sometimes the trees get in the way of seeing the forest. In the case of Kyle Rittenhouse, a narrow view of the law of self-defense could provide an acquittal despite the big picture — his outrageously poor judgment in bringing a semi-automatic rifle to a protest. The key issue will be the reasonableness of Rittenhouse’s belief. Rittenhouse has been charged with homicide and other crimes relating to his conduct during a night of civil unrest in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in August 2020. Protesters had taken to the streets following the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man. Rittenhouse testified Wednesday...

Joe Biden—or more likely his behind-the-scenes handlers who tell him what to say and do—has nominated Jessica Rosenworcel to become the first female chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Biden as always read off the Teleprompter to tout his latest “historic first” as a champion for Internet and Cable connectivity for all. Chances are, however, Rosenworcel will be just another Washington insider mope passing through the revolving door of the FCC without making much actual “history.” But she could break that cycle if she’d take a long overdue run at placing oversight of cable tv networks under the same FCC...

By every relevant metric, Florida's COVID crisis is drastic and getting worse. In a development reminiscent of the spring of 2020, state officials earlier this week reportedly requested hundreds of ventilators from the federal government, to help struggling patients breathe. Yesterday, however, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) suggested those reports may not be accurate, telling the ABC affiliate in Miami, "I would honestly doubt that that's true." The Republican added, in reference to appeals for ventilators, "I have not had any requests across my desk. I haven't been notified of that."

So it's not just about the abolition of policing. It's about the abolition of capitalism itself. That was the message on Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show on Saturday. Will Cross applaud when Comcast is nationalized into Comrade? Cross began the segment by airing a brief clip of the last moments of Jamal Sutherland, a mentally ill person who resisted deputies attempting to remove him from his cell to attend a bond hearing, and died after the deputies pepper-sprayed and tased him. Cross then asked MSNBC contributor Brittany Packnett Cunningham whether policing can be reformed. Cunningham answered, "in short, no... That is...

Sixty-three percent of American approve of President Biden's job performance thus far, according to an Associated Press-NORC poll released Monday, up 2 percentage points from late March. The poll found 96 percent of Democrats, 62 percent of independents and 23 percent of Republicans surveyed approve of Biden's work in his first three full months in office.

NBC News deceptively edited police bodycam footage so their viewers wouldn’t see the knife in 15-year-old Ma’Kiyah Bryant’s hand moments before a Columbus officer shot her dead. NBC also deceptively edited the 911 call to omit the part where the caller says a girl was “trying to stab us. NBC anchor Lester Holt began the segment by showing a picture of a smiling Ma’Kiyah Bryant to make her look innocent. Omitting the fact that the teen was wielding a large knife and attempting to stab someone is willful deception. According to Newsbusters, ABC and CBS were actually honest (for once)...
