Mitch McConnell

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell spent her Thursday show plotting strategy with Democratic Sens. Patrick Leahy and Mazie Hirono on President Biden's upcoming Supreme Court nominee. The senators also blamed Sen. Mitch McConnell and Republicans for why Supreme Court confirmations have become politicized and instead of pushing back on that talking point, Mitchell wholeheartedly agreed.

The art of deconstructing an argument by refutation and holding a person accountable for previous statements that the person now contradicts was once an honored tradition. It has now mostly gone the way of other traditions in favor of sound bite statements formulated in political party meetings and used to confuse the public. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) unpacked this once…

As tensions between Russia and Ukraine continue to intensify on Tuesday, the liberal evening news broadcast networks have continued to cover the Biden administration's tough talk and threats towards Russia to help him look like he's handling it competently. Meanwhile, they're giving little airtime to congressional Republicans' criticisms that he's not doing enough and going it too slowly.

MTP Daily host Chuck Todd memory-holed late former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Wednesday as he accused Senator Mitch McConnell of hypocritically getting rid of the filibuster for Supreme Court nominees while decrying Democratic attempts to eliminate the legislative filibuster. 

What was known as CNN Tonight is now temporarily known as Democracy in Peril and with a name such as that it was predictable that host Brianna Keilar roped all GOP-passed election laws in with "The Big Lie" on Monday, claiming them to be "cancer" and any attempt to claim they are not voter suppression laws is simply "gaslighting."

CNN host Don Lemon leaned in Wednesday night into his claim from almost one year ago exactly about Trump supporters that earned him our Chris Cuomo Memorial Award for Worst Quote of the Year. During his eponymous show, Lemon insisting those who oppose him, President Biden, and other Democrats, aren’t like the KKK, Nazis, segregationists like Bull Connor and George Wallace, and treasonists like…

Reacting to President Biden’s speech on voting, MSNBC’s ReidOut host Joy Reid insisted without evidence on Tuesday that not only do Republicans want to suppress the vote of African-Americans, but they want to end elections entirely by not having “the vote at all and I think y’all need to wake up to that.”

Hypocrisy and lies from politicians are so rampant in Washington that hardly anyone pays them much attention anymore. Perhaps that is why our cynicism about so many things political deepens and distrust of our institutions is pervasive. A co-conspirator in all of this is Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who has set the middle of the month as his target for changing the filibuster…

The New York Times is making hay during the intense Democratic politicization of the one-year anniversary of the violent Capitol Hill riots of January 6, 2021, which an online headline called “the worst American attack in democracy in centuries.” Times fact-checker Linda Qiu assured readers the Black Lives Matter riots weren’t nearly so violent as the Capitol Hill assault,…

Something must be in the air at CNN. Both today and yesterday, they abandoned their usual sucking-up to the Biden administration to give more accurate, brutal assessments. On Christmas Eve, Chris Cillizza did a segment on New Day where he gave “coal” to both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and gave a candy cane to the media-maligned….Ron DeSantis?

On Morning Joe, Scarborough expresses understanding of the Democrats' anger at Manchin, but warns them that they are pushing him into the arms of the GOP. He cites the precedent of Jumpin' Jim Jeffords, who left the GOP and joined the Democrats over his disputes with Pres. George W. Bush, thereby handing the Democrats the Senate majority.

MTP Daily host Chuck Todd lamented on Thursday that President Biden's legislative agenda appears to be falling apart. In response to that, he plotted strategy with Democratic pollster Cornell Belcher and further lamented that, unlike Mitch McConnell, Democrats don't know how to play hardball.

Joe Scarborough has a bad habit of riding verbal hobbyhorses into the ground. As we've often documented, as here and here, once Joe gets what he thinks is a catchy phrase into his noggin, he repeats it—ad nauseum. This morning, Scarborough's hobby horse o' the day was "schoolhouse door," with an explicit reference to George Wallace, who infamously blocked desegregation in such manner.…

A day after promoting a party-switching former Republican who is running for Oklahoma as a Democrat, on Tuesday, CNN's New Day devoted a segment to a pair of disaffected Republicans who are encouraging members of their party to vote Democratic and keep Democrats in control of Congress.
