NBC News is launching a rebranded evening newsletter today, replacing its long-running First Read with a format that integrates broadcast and digital reporting on the campaign trail and in Washington, D.C.
The network’s team of political reporters will all contribute to a single, centralized product, with a wider focus on news and analysis from across the country.
The newsletter, From The Politics Desk, will appear each evening and will feature three sections: News of the day, analysis from the author and “must read” links throughout the day. It will feature analysis from a rotating group of correspondents and anchors, with Kristen Welker, Steve Kornacki, Chuck Todd, Jon Allen and Mark Murray serving as regular authors. Contributors will include Carol Lee, Sahil Kapur and others.

California’s Dianne Feinstein, the longest-serving female senator in U.S. history and three-time mayor of San Francisco, died Thursday at the age of 90. An icon of Democratic politics who was planning to step down at the end of her term amid a series of health issues, she is being remembered by the many colleagues she had over her decadeslong career in public service.

Republicans drastically underperformed in the 2022 midterm elections, only narrowly taking control of the House of Representatives while leaving the Senate in Democratic control. The overturning of Roe v. Wade was seen by many as the primary culprit. Donald Trump isn’t exactly distancing himself from the ruling — at least as he tries to fend off his far-right primary opponents.
“I was able to kill Roe v. Wade,” he crowed Wednesday morning on Truth Social. He also took credit for the wave of abortion bans that have gone into effect since...

On Tuesday, Donald Trump became the first former president in U.S. history to be arrested and arraigned. On Wednesday, he called for Republicans in Congress to defund federal law enforcement.
“Republicans In Congress Should Defund The DOJ And FBI Until They Come To Their Senses,” he wrote on Truth Social. “The Democrats Have Totally Weaponized Law Enforcement In Our Country And Are Viciously Using This Abuse Of Power To Interfere With Our Already Under Siege Elections!”

The House committee investigating Jan. 6 has named a second sitting Republican member of Congress: Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). The committee on Wednesday requested an interview with the Maga-friendly lawmaker who previously admitted to talking with former President Donald Trump on the day of the insurrection.
“We write to seek your voluntary cooperation in advancing our investigation,” Chair Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) wrote in a letter asking Jordan to discuss “in detail” all communication between him and Trump on Jan. 6. In addition to his conversations with Trump, Thompson wrote that the committee...

Paul Gosar has repeatedly denounced the American Rescue Plan, a bill passed by Congress earlier this year to help Americans and businesses during the pandemic. Gosar labeled the plan, which cost $1.9 trillion, “a Democrat spending bonanza” and agreed with his colleague Matt Gaetz’s contention that it’s nothing more than “a trojan horse for socialism.” Gosar voted against the plan, of course, but in a Monday press release he happily took credit for a $32,000 American Rescue Plan grant that will help an Arizona airport clean and sanitize its facilities,...

After an extraordinarily busy first 100 days, Joe Biden is not expected to let up in his his first address as president to a Joint Session of Congress on Wednesday.
He’s expected to present his American Families Plan, a $1 trillion proposal that aims to provide free preschool for all 3- and 4-year-old children, bolster health care, education and other core aspects of the average American household. Along with his American Jobs Plan, it represents a $4 trillion infrastructure proposal from Biden.
The president plans to pay with it through a corporate tax hike and via increased taxes on the wealthiest 1% of Americans, including a near doubling of the capital gains rate on incomes above $1 million.
Below is a rundown of how to watch Biden’s United States Capitol address on TV and online.
Deadline will have the livestream right here — see below — starting at 9 p.m. Et/6 p.m. Pt.

During a Monday night appearance on Fox News, Gop Rep. Devin Nunes blamed “media freaks” for criticism he received after encouraging Americans on Sunday to “go out” to their local pubs despite coronavirus concerns.
“So, what I was saying is you have empty restaurants,” the Calif. congressman explained to Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “You can go through the drive-thru or do takeout. It’s a great place to go. The media freaks can do what they want.”
Nunes also noted the “media freaks” actually “don’t have a clue what’s going on out in the real world”: “We have a problem out here because we have people standing in line for 45 minutes at Costco.”

Sixty-four percent of New Hampshire Democratic voters would rather see “a giant meteor strike the Earth, extinguishing all human life” than see President Trump re-elected, according to a new poll from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell.
Somewhat surprisingly, 28 percent of conservatives joined the majority of Democrats on wiping out all of mankind rather than dealing with another four years of Trump. And to no one’s surprise, 68 percent of women polled, more than any other group, would welcome a fireball of death over the president remaining in the White House.

On Monday, nearly the entire field of Democratic candidates for president appeared at an Iowa Democrats Hall of Fame event in Cedar Rapids. Notably absent was the primary frontrunner, Joe Biden, who seems to be on cruise control as his competitors battle it out for second place in the polls. Instead, the former vice president spoke at a fundraiser in Washington D.C., where he once again made clear that his focus lies not on his fellow Democrats, but on a potential general election showdown with President Trump.

Donald Trump’s never-ending crusade against immigration has focused primarily on crime. Since he first described Mexicans as “rapists” while announcing his candidacy three years ago this June, the idea that brown people are storming the border to kill innocent Americans has been the thrust of Trump’s political appeal. At any given point of his presidency, he’s never been more than a few days removed from belaboring the point. “The crime that comes in is unbelievable,” he said last week during an anti-immigration rant at a rally in Panama City Beach,...

Attorney General William Barr will release a redacted version of the Mueller report on Thursday. He’s doing all he can to protect the president from whatever damaging revelations it may contain.
The New York Times reported Wednesday night that the Justice Department had “numerous conversations” with the White House about the contents of the report, allowing the president’s legal team to prepare a response. The Doj also announced that Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein would hold a press conference Thursday at 9:30 a.m. to discuss the report,...

After Democrats won control of the House of Representatives last November, many wondered whether they would use their newfound power to obtain President Trump’s tax returns. Three months after taking over the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Richard Neal (D-ma) has done just that.
On Wednesday, Neal sent a letter to the IRS formally requesting six years of the president’s tax forms.

President Trump has had a rough go of it since the midterms in November. The investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia has continued to spell trouble. The Southern District of New York contended that the president directed a felony. His “charitable” foundation was forced to dissolve. His Republican base in Congress has shown signs of cracking, most notably through the near-universal condemnation of the president’s decision to defy advisers and pull American troops out of Syria. As the calendar turns to 2019, Trump lacks a permanent attorney general,...

Brett Kavanaugh was officially sworn in as a Supreme Court justice on Saturday, but President Trump wanted to do it again.
“A man or a woman must always be presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty,” Trump said during a ceremony at the White House on Monday. “You, sir, under historic scrutiny, were proven innocent.” The first part of the quote is true regarding a criminal trial, not a job interview for the nation’s most esteemed judicial appointment. The second part is a lie. Nevertheless, the president and Republican...

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is once again in damage-control mode after remarks that seemed to suggest Holocaust deniers have a place on the social media platform.
Zuckerberg was describing how the social media company makes decisions about what content to remove; drawing a distinction between inflammatory hate speech that might incite violence in countries like Myanmar and Sri Lanka, and media operations like InfoWars that peddle in conspiracy theories.
“The principles that we have on what we remove from the service are: If it’s going to result in real harm, real physical harm, or if you’re attacking individuals, then that content shouldn’t be on the platform,” Zuckerberg said in an interview with Recode’s Kara Swisher.
Zuckerberg brought up an example that he said hits closer to home.
“I’m Jewish, and there’s a set of people who deny that the Holocaust happened,” Zuckerberg said. “I find that deeply offensive.
