MSNBC Highlights — Dec. 22

After Congress averted a government shutdown with a last-minute deal, it’s become a serious question: who runs the GOP, Donald Trump or Elon Musk? House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries discusses Elon Musk's influence among the Republican caucus and House Democrats' focus during the next four years of Trump's presidency. Neal Katyal breaks down the House Republicans report recommending the FBI to investigate Liz Cheney for her role in investigating the Jan. 6 attack and why that legal case would likely fail to go anywhere in a court of law.

If any of these billionaires would act like philanthropist to the people of this country, then maybe just maybe we wouldn't have homeless, hungry, displaced people.

Thank you Jeffries to stay emotionally strong 🙏 God bless you 🙏

[apathyreview]

Oh they have already erased any memory of the old GOP. Not that they had any principals either but at least they were not puppets.

If you have to tell people that you're in charge, you're not in charge.

He talked Elon Musk an hour ago and Trump 45 minutes ago. This means that he talked to Elon first. 😂😂😂😂

Was Donald Trump voted president by the Republicans in order to waste so much time on his petty retribution issues? I thought his job as president was to get important work done for the American people, for all American people.

Musk has no knowledge of policy or how government works. Stick with cars Elon.
