‘Morning Joe’: Mika Defends Lesley Stahl’s Marjorie Taylor Greene Interview — ‘Don’t Understand What She Did Wrong’ (Video)

Elon Musk is feeling the heat on Twitter after his SpaceX rocket blew up again!

On Monday’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the thing that seemed to keep Kimmel particularly amused was the fact that according to independent trackers of website traffic, Donald Trump’s Twitter clone, Truth Social, is a failure.In fact, Kimmel gloated, “a foot fetish website is much more popular.”That factoid came out of a discussion of Trump’s overall finances that inspired his deep dive.“Donald Trump did something miraculous this weekend. He filed a financial disclosure report,” the ABC host said during his monologue. You know those things you have to file when you’re running for office? He actually filed one.” “He did it at the last minute.

Colin Jost and Michael Che took several swipes at current president Joe Biden and former commander-in-chief Donald Trump during Saturday Night Live’s “Weekend Update” segment.

Kathy Griffin is opening up about a personal matter.

signed a bill banning abortions after six weeks into law, the “Morning Joe” team weighed how such a partisan move may impact his chances in the general election were he to run for president in 2024. Contributor Sam Stein, Politico’s White House editor, drew comparison between former president Donald Trump and DeSantis’ policies on abortion, noting, candidly, that the difference is Trump “is a lot of things,” but he’s “not a total dummy.”“Donald Trump really largely has stayed away from the abortion issue and remember blamed pro-lifers for the losses in the midterm elections,” said “Morning Joe” co-host Willie Geist, punting the mic to Stein.

US President Joe Biden has appointed Lady Gaga and producer Bruce Cohen as co-Chairs of his Committee On The Arts And Humanities. The panel, which will advise Biden on cultural issues, includes “prominent artists, scholars, and philanthropists who have demonstrated a serious commitment to the arts and humanities”.Executive Director of the committee Tsione Wolde-Michael said in a statement that it is “positioned to do meaningful work that will positively impact the arts, libraries, museums, and public humanities work in communities across the country”.Originally convened by Ronald Reagan in 1982, the Committee returns after a five year hiatus – the last group having disbanded in protest at then president Donald Trump’s response to the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Lady Gaga is set to get involved in politics.

President Joe Biden plans to appoint producer Bruce Cohen and Lady Gaga as the co-chairs of the revived President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities.

New polling from ABC News and Ipsos shows former president Donald Trump’s favorability ratings collapsing in the aftermath of his April 4 arraignment and indictment the week prior. Breaking down the numbers, which saw a four-point dip to 25% favorability, “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski said Tuesday that Trump is “dropping like a rock,” and Willie Geist said the number is so low that he’s “starting to dip into being a fringe political candidate.”“If his legal issues don’t take him off the ballot, maybe his poll numbers will,” Brzezinski quipped on her daily MSNBC program.

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough thinks former president Donald Trump blew his chance at re-election with his behavior following his arrest and arraignment Tuesday.“If Donald Trump was sane, if he were rational, he would have said, ‘I’m gonna go to bed with the win,’ but as we all know, Donald Trump can’t keep his mouth shut,” the “Morning Joe” host said. “He goes out. I will just say he messes the bed in a stupendous way last night.

Twice-impeached and now officially indicted former president Donald Trump appeared in New York for his arraignment on Tuesday, and so did a few of his supporters. That included Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene who, as Seth Meyers joked, really just went about it as a weird means of getting attention.To kick off his “A Closer Look” segment on Tuesday night, Meyers admitted that he never thought he’d get to say the words “Donald Trump was arrested,” before honing in on the size of the crowds he brought with him.

most associated with that number wouldn’t want any part of it. That person? The devil.Drawing wide criticism, “60 Minutes” host Lesley Stahl sat down with the Georgia congresswoman for a wide-ranging interview just days before the news of twice-impeached former president Donald Trump’s indictment, and, as expected, Greene spouted off her usual lies, while also complaining that people “never focus on anything good about me.”In the end, that interview drew 6.66 million viewers — again, on a Sunday.

a recent Quinnipiac poll, as Pskai pointed out, a whopping 90% of Republicans see the move from DA Alvin Bragg as politically motivated; 70% of independents agree along with 30% of Democrats.“It doesn’t really matter that that is based entirely on the phony claims by leading Republicans,” Psaki said of the poll’s results. “But the thing is, there’s absolutely nothing to gain by adding more fuel to that fire.”Currently, that fire is being fueled by the likes of House speaker Kevin McCarthy, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Trump himself.

J. Kim Murphy “60 Minutes” has drawn criticism from journalists and other public figures for its sit-down interview with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, which aired on Sunday evening. In the interview, Greene asserted that Democrats are the “party of pedophiles,” saying, “They support grooming children… Even Joe Biden himself supports children being sexualized and having transgender surgeries.” The Republican representative doubled down on her comments in a Tweet, writing, “I will always fight to protect kids!” Greene, who was elected to a House seat representing Georgia in 2020, has been a primary subject of fervent criticism from Democratic figures for several years. During her campaign, she voiced support for a range of conspiracy theories promoted by the QAnon movement, which the FBI has deemed a domestic terror group. She has also promoted misinformation regarding COVID-19 vaccines.

the indictment of Donald Trump, which is of course something of a surprise, since documents released as part of Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation lawsuit against Fox News prove that at least in 2021, he hated Trump “passionately.”Nevertheless, Carlson was outraged on Trump’s behalf on Friday’s episode of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” and while articulating his disdain of the American legal system, Carlson devised an unusual legal argument in Trump’s defense. In short, “I know you [the grand jury] are but what am I {Trump]?”You can watch the clip at the top of the page (courtesy of nikki mccann ramírez on Twitter).The comments came during a longer rant where among other things, Carlson called the situation “third world.”“And if that isn’t third world enough, someone leaked the news of Donald Trump’s grand jury indictment to the media.

Donald Trump was indicted by a Manhattan grand jury yesterday (March 30), in the first criminal case against a former US President. Numerous famous faces from the entertainment world have since shared their thoughts on the decision.The charges faced by the former POTUS stem back to 2016, when adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal claimed that they were paid in an attempt to silence claims of extramarital affairs.According to the charges, in late 2016 – amid his presidential campaign – Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 (£105,300) to stay silent about an incident a decade earlier.

Well, Donald Trump has released his response to finally being indicted — and it’s as Trumpy as we’ve seen in a long time.

Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor If nothing else, $44 billion has bought Twitter power-user Elon Musk status as the No. 1 most-followed account on the social network. As of Thursday morning, Musk had 133.088 million users — up more than 20% since he closed the Twitter deal last October. That pushed the billionaire ahead of the previously most-followed account, that of Barack Obama, who currently has about 133.042 million followers. (To be sure, this is according to the public counters operated by Twitter, which Musk controls.) Musk, a self-proclaimed free-speech “absolutist,” is notoriously fond of posting memes and jokes on Twitter. (Prior to his acquisition, according to Twitter’s legal team, Musk also used the service to disparage the company and its employees.) Musk has claimed he did not buy the company “to make more money” but to “try to help humanity, whom I love.” He also has said he was “obviously overpaying” for Twitter.

laimed the New York District Attorney was going to arrest him — and yep, that still hasn’t happened. And on Wednesday Jimmy Kimmel seemed a bit impatient with the whole thing, pointing out during his monologue that the grand jury investigating Trump is now taking a frustrating two-week hiatus.

Mike Pence must testify before a grand jury about his conversations with Donald Trump, forcing the former vice president to comply with a subpoena issued as part of a special counsel investigation of efforts to overturn the election on January 6.
