On Wednesday's Anderson Cooper 360, CNN gave liberal Senator Angus King (I-ME) a forum to accuse President Donald Trump of abusing his constitutional power with his actions since taking office. And on Thursday morning, MSNBC's Morning Joe followed suit with their own interview with him entirely devoted to this topic.

With Pete Hegseth's nomination as Secretary of Defense reportedly in trouble, CNN This Morning boosted Ron DeSantis for the position.  Meanwhile, over on Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough & Co. had great fun mocking Lindsey Graham. They depicted Graham as a Johnny-come-lately to the group of Senators expressing serious reservations about Hegseth's nomination. He was a "lagging indicator."

Morning  Joe warns of civil war if Trump loses.  John Heilemann says he's not a fearful person, but that he's very nervous about what will happen if Trump loses.  Joe Scarborough, the catastrophizer-in-chief, somehow claims that he's not a catastrophizer, but says there is reason to be concerned. And Katty Kay makes it explicit, saying that in a country with so many guns, Trump supporters will…

On Morning Joe, Jonathan Lemire and Katty Kay claim that Jack Smith's new filing in his case against Donald Trump does NOT constitute an October Surprise.

Appearing as a guest on Tuesday's Morning Joe on MSNBC, author Ta-Nehisi Coates -- formerly of The Atlantic -- complained about the way Israelis treat Palestinians and compared it to Jim Crow, declaring that he wished people paid more attention to Gaza before the October 7 terrorist attack.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe is the kind of “news” program that laments that Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are supposedly portrayed as two equal candidates when, according to them, the latter is a lying liar who lies all the time and the former is just a normal candidate. However, for their Wednesday post-debate analysis, the assembled cast cheered Harris spreading fake news about pro-lifers…

Democratic vice presidential nominee, Governor Tim Walz (MN) appeared on the popular channel on the Chinese spy app TikTok this week and the fill-in co-hosts of MSNBC’s Morning Joe couldn’t get enough of it. Jonathan Lemire and Katty Kay gushed about the appeal of “Coach Walz” and how he was trying to peel support away from former President Trump among “lower-educated voters.”

Even with hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski away on Monday, the fill-in cast of MSNBC’s Morning Joe managed to meet their high bar for obnoxious praise for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign; at one point even lamenting that they had overlooked how supposedly charismatic she was as they misguidedly focused on her failed 2020 run. A Washington Post…

On Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle predicts that Kamala Harris will finish Trump off in their debate. She's "a very sophisticated, very intelligent woman, and she hammers him like a prosecutor and doesn't let him off the hook, he will go -- I can't say it -- But something will snap in him and that will be it."  

It turned upside down on Morning Joe Friday. Joe Scarborough approvingly cited Peggy Noonan suggesting that Trump has become Biden on the "mental acuity" meter. Katty Kay said the Democratic ticket is like "sunny Reagan." 

It was a tale of two networks on CNN and MSNBC in their 6 am hours today. CNN This Morning devoted a long opening segment to the strike that reportedly killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran. Meanwhile, over on Morning Joe, Joe and Mika might be on vacation, but under the baton of Jonathan Lemire, that same crucial opening segment was all about "cat ladies," "weird,"…

On Morning Joe, Jonathan Lemire, speaking of the upcoming presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, says: "some Democrats have said privately, if Biden has a very bad night, there'll be real worries about whether he can continue forward with his campaign."

On Morning Joe, legal analyst Chuck Rosenberg says that, based on his experience, when a supervisor on a case is involved in a relationship with a subordinate, one or the other should be removed from the case. He said that should apply regardless of whether the relationship between Fani Willis and Nathan Wade began before or after she hired him on her prosecution team.

On Morning Joe, commenting on Ron DeSantis's withdrawal from the race, Joe Scarborough says that DeSantis made the mistake of trying to get into the lane that Donald Trump had already filled, that of the super-MAGA voters. Scarborough depicted Trump as the "Fat Elvis" of 1977, and that people going to see him in Las Vegas weren't going to instead choose a knock-off imitation of Fat Elvis.
