George Conway slams Trump: ‘We don't have Ronald Reagan anymore, we have Tony Soprano'
Pundit George Conway went after President Trump on Wednesday amid the president's crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C. 'What we have here isn't traditional conservatism, it isn't traditional Republicanism, it is authoritarianism,' Conway said on MSNBC's 'All In with Chris Hayes.' 'But, I think a better word for it as I think about it, one that more people can understand is gangsterism, thugism.' 'We don't have Ronald Reagan anymore, we have Tony Soprano,' Conway added. 'He's holding people up, threatening them, bullying them, doing things that are beyond his legal power to do and that's — that scares people. It makes people pay protection money.' Trump and his administration have exerted pressure on institutions, governments and individuals perceived as being opposed to the president's policy and ideology throughout the first few months of his current term. Earlier this week, Trump announced he was taking federal control of D.C.'s police department and deploying the National Guard in the city to combat crime. The president has historically directed criticism at the District, which is known as a bastion of liberal politics. On Wednesday, Trump said he'll try for 'long-term extensions' from Congress to extend his federal takeover of the D.C. police. 'Well, if it's a national emergency, we can do it without Congress,' Trump said, when questioned whether he's talked to the House and Senate about lengthening the takeover.

Sanders: Mamdani ‘more than charismatic'
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) called New York Assembly member Zohran Mamdani 'more than charismatic' following his win in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor. 'What Zohran understood, is that in order to win, you got to be more than charismatic, and he is,' Sanders said on MSNBC's 'All In with Chris Hayes' Wednesday. 'You got to be more than smart, which he is. You got to build a strong grassroots movement around a progressive agenda. He had thousands and thousands of people knocking on doors because they were excited about his message.' Sanders on Wednesday told Politico that had former Vice President Kamala Harris used a similar playbook in the 2024 presidential race, she would be in the White House now. American political observers were shocked Tuesday as Mamdani, a democratic socialist, seemed to be on the path to winning the Democratic nomination for the Big Apple's mayor over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani immigrated to the U.S. from Uganda as a child and has spent most of his life in the nation's biggest city. If Mamdani clinches New York City's top job, he would be its first Muslim and Asian mayor. 'In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it's done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City,' Mamdani said in a post on the social media platform X early Wednesday. Mamdani said that his platform would be successful with candidates outside of New York City. 'I think ultimately, this is a campaign about inequality, and you don't have to live in the most expensive city in the country to have experienced that inequality, because it's a national issue,' Mamdani told MSNBC's Jen Psaki on Wednesday night.

DHS says Elizabeth Warren ‘trying to revise history' with criticism of Padilla's treatment at Noem press conference
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., joined the chorus of Democrats criticizing Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem after Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was stopped by Secret Service agents after interrupting a DHS press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday. 'It's time for Republican Senators to speak up. We need an independent investigation of this,' Warren said on MSNBC's 'All In with Chris Hayes' on Thursday night. 'It is also time for Kristi Noem to resign. She needs to resign,' she added. Padilla was briefly placed in handcuffs and kicked out of the room by the Secret Service after he entered the press conference and attempted to ask the secretary a question in the middle of her remarks. He identified himself by name as a senator, but he was not wearing a security pin during the incident, according to the FBI. 3 Sen. Elizabeth Warren joined the growing number of Democratic officials criticizing Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem after Sen. Alex Padilla was removed by Secret Service agents after interrupting a DHS press conference. REUTERS 'Everything is on camera—Warren is trying to revise history on Senator Padilla's embarrassing conduct, but Americans can see with their own eyes,' Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated. 'Senator Padilla entered a high-security federal facility under false pretenses and crashed an invite-only press conference as law enforcement are working around the clock to calm violent riots,' McLaughlin continued. 'There's no excuse for busting into a press conference and interrupting it. Had Senator Padilla asked for a meeting, Secretary Noem would have happily obliged, which she graciously did for 15 minutes after the press conference. 3 On MSNBC's 'All In with Chris Hayes,' Warren said, 'It's time for Republican Senators to speak up. We need an independent investigation of this.' 'Padilla tried to manufacture a viral moment and it's embarrassing & disrespectful to law enforcement,' she added. The Democrat and Noem did end up having a brief meeting where they exchanged phone numbers. Fox News reported that Noem described the meeting as 'cordial and beneficial,' and Padilla's office said it was 'civil.' The press conference addressed the civil unrest in the Los Angeles area as Immigration and Customs Enforcement continues to arrest illegal immigrants. 3 Padilla was put in handcuffs after he was kicked out of the press conference while trying to ask Noem a question. via REUTERS 'The Senator met with Secretary Noem this afternoon. He raised concerns with the deployment of military forces and the needless escalation over the last week, among other issues. And he voiced his frustration with the continued lack of response from this administration,' Edgar D. Rodríguez, Deputy Communications Director for Padilla, posted to X. 'It was a civil, brief meeting, but the Secretary did not provide any meaningful answers. The Senator was simply trying to do his job and seek answers for the people he represents in California,' he added. Other Democrats, like California Sen. Adam Schiff and Rep. Eric Swalwell, have called on Noem to step down. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski condemned how the incident was handled, whereas others, like sports commentator Stephen A. Smith, slammed the incident on his show, hypothetically asking Padilla, 'You couldn't wait?'
