While Democrats had one of their best weeks in years with their sweeping election victories, Republicans appear to be facing what has been described as a MAGA civil war. It was triggered by a recently lengthy interview that was overwhelmingly friendly between former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and avowed white supremacist Nick Fuentes, a man who has denied the Holocaust, called Adolf Hitler quote awesome, and called for a holy war against Jews. There has been an ongoing backlash to Carlson for elevating a ...

But we begin this hour with a split screen. On one side, President Trump's version of reality and on the other, the American people's. This week, Trump tried to downplay voters concerns about affordability, a top issue that helped propel Democrats to big election wins on Tuesday.Instead, he's been focused on creating a new gilded age by handing out tax breaks to the ultra wealthy and turning the White House into his own personal palace. And according to the Daily Beast, f Friday night, he threw another extr ...

But months into the operation, major questions remain unanswered. According to interviews by MSNBC with congressional officials, human rights monitors and journalists in the region, as many as 50 of those killed in US drone strikes across the Caribbean and Pacific remain publicly unidentified. We don't know their names. Their fami ...

This shutdown goes beyond politics. It's taking a massive human toll on everyday Americans. The Supreme Court's emergency order allowing President Trump to curtail funding for SNAP food aid payments has left the fate of the program in the balance and its beneficiaries to face uncertainty.>> My mom gets $25 in food stamps a month. We basically rob Peter to pay Paul. There's shortage everywhere for everybody.I mean, they tell you you're going to get your food stamps, but then I'm hearing that it could be two ...

In the meantime, panic continues for travelers as thousands of flights are canceled or delayed, a problem that is set to get worse if the shutdown drags on.

This kind of stuff would never be tolerated in a million years. As as a party, when the sort of MAGA takeover of the parties alienated a lot of the middle, alienated some traditional Republican voters, you don't have a lot of room electorally to throw anybody out of the party who might be voting for you. And I think that is the sort of dynamic that has allowed a lot of really ugly stuff to come in to to the right and and and not maybe not welcomed, but tolerated in a way that I don't think would ever be tol ...

Donald Trump has been bad for Republicans. I mean, morally, uh, but to begin with, but actually politically. I mean, 2016, he eaked out electoral college win, but then Republicans lost 40 plus seats.Tons of local offices in 2018. A whole bunch of state houses flipped. In 2020, Trump lost in by four and a half points, right.A one-term president. He's been an albatross for down ballot Republican races when he is not on the ticket. Like in 2022 when everyone was predicting the big red wave.And remember, Republ ...
