CNN’s Abby Phillip pulled the receipts, and a MAGA pundit ran out of talking points in real time. During a heated NewsNight segment, conservative radio host Ben Ferguson tore into California Governor Gavin Newsom for calling the Trump administration “authoritarians” and “fascists,” arguing that loaded language fuels violence.

Phillip paused the debate, then rolled a montage of Donald Trump calling his opponents “communists,” “Marxists,” and “fascists,” putting Ferguson’s logic in question. The supercut came right after Ferguson agreed that branding people with words like “fascist” can lead to violence.

The timing could not have been better. The segment aired amid a partisan brawl over rhetoric in the wake of a deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas. The tragedy triggered a political firestorm, with critics blasting Democrats for demonizing immigration enforcement, and Democrats pointing back at years of hard-right fire from Trump and his allies.

Phillip pressed Ferguson on the core claim. If certain labels are too dangerous to use, should they be off limits for everyone. Then came the supercut. In clip after clip, Trump labels Joe Biden and Kamala Harris “radical left communist Marxist fascists,” and frames the election as a choice between “communism and freedom.” The juxtaposition undercut the idea that only one side’s words are dangerous. It also echoed earlier moments when networks used compilations to test consistency claims.

Former federal prosecutor Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) joins Chris Jansing to respond to the Department of Justice's indictment of former FBI Director James Comey, saying he believes Comey “has a great chance of winning.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI has fired agents who were photographed kneeling during a racial justice protest in Washington that followed the 2020 death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers, three people familiar with the matter said Friday.

The bureau last spring had reassigned the agents but has since fired them, said the people, who insisted on anonymity to discuss personnel matters with The Associated Press.

The number of FBI employees terminated was not immediately clear, but two people said it was roughly 20.

The photographs at issue showed a group of agents in a taking a knee during one of the demonstrations following the May 2020 killing of Floyd, a death that led to a national reckoning over policing and racial injustice and sparked widespread anger after millions of people saw video of the arrest. The kneeling had angered some in the FBI but was also understood as a possible de-escalation tactic during a period of protests.

An Arizona Republican state representative who has expressed support for January 6 insurrectionists on Wednesday called for a Democratic congresswoman to be executed, as a response to a video clip.

The comment on X by state representative John Gillette of Kingman, Arizona, first reported by the Arizona Mirror, was a reaction to a short clip drawn from a YouTube video in March by US representative Pramila Jayapal, a longtime Democratic congresswoman representing Washington state, entitled “The Resistance Lab.” In the video, Jayapal discusses preparations for street protests against the Trump administration.

President Donald Trump is exerting an unprecedented amount of control over private companies. So far, that’s working out fine for most investors.

Of six companies where the government has exerted control, four have delivered gains to shareholders, one topping 150%.

Trump in June approved Nippon Steel’s purchase of U.S. Steel, but only in exchange for veto power over some corporate actions. The Department of Defense bought 15% of rare earths miner MP Materials and a similar deal with Lithium Americas is in negotiations. The government took a 10% stake in Intel Corp. soon after Trump put pressure on its CEO to resign.

In his remarks to the White House Liberty Commission several days ago at the Museum of the Bible in D.C., Donald Trump downplayed the seriousness of domestic violence, suggesting that it shouldn't be counted in crime statistics.

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump is lying about his Jan. 6, 2021, coup attempt.

Again. And still.

Going on five years from the day he riled up a mob of his followers by telling them they would lose their country if they did not march on the Capitol and pressure his own vice president and members of Congress into overturning the election he had lost, Trump continues to lie about it, this time with a conspiracy theory that the FBI actually instigated the violence.

“It was just revealed that the FBI had secretly placed, against all Rules, Regulations, Protocols, and Standards, 274 FBI Agents into the Crowd just prior to, and during, the January 6th Hoax,” Trump posted to his social media site Saturday. “That’s right, as it now turns out, FBI Agents were at, and in, the January 6th Protest, probably acting as Agitators and Insurrectionists, but certainly not as ‘Law Enforcement Officials.’”

Trump’s claim is false. The agents were dispatched after Trump’s mob grew violent, attacking police officers and storming the building.

Ty Cobb, a lawyer in the White House Counsel’s office in Trump’s first term, said Trump was obviously trying to rewrite history to make himself a victim on that day, rather than the singular villain, as was determined by both the House Jan. 6 Committee and a Justice Department special counsel.
