Jen Psaki, a longtime Democratic operative, has secured a major promotion at MSNBC, stepping into a prime-time role that effectively positions her as the network’s new leading voice.

Announced on Wednesday, Psaki, 46, will now anchor the 9:00 p.m. Eastern slot Tuesday through Friday, a significant leap from her previous Sunday show, per USA Today.

This move seemingly comes at the expense of Rachel Maddow, easily one of MSNBC’s most recognizable faces, who is scaling back to a once-a-week schedule on Mondays.

Psaki, who served as White House press secretary under former President Joe Biden, has a history of working for Democratic administrations, including roles under former President Barack Obama.

Her new show, named “The Briefing,” marks her transition from a weekend slot to the face of MSNBC’s prime-time lineup, a clear promotion in visibility.

According to The Hill, the show will still be based in Washington, D.C.

MSNBC said the the show will “pull from Psaki’s decades-long experiences on campaign buses, in the Oval Office, at the State Department, and in the briefing room to dissect the most important stories of the day.”

Psaki’s rise at MSNBC is notable, given her well-documented pro-Democrat, anti-Trump stances, which align with broader criticisms against the network.

She’s often hypercritical of Republicans, a pattern likely to continue as she takes on a more prominent role at a network already known for its left-leaning bias.

The decision to elevate Psaki over Maddow, who has been MSNBC’s most recognizable figure for 17 years, signals a curious shift in the network’s thinking.

Maddow’s brand, once quite recognizable, appears to have eroded to the point where MSNBC is willing to reduce her airtime significantly.

This change is unlikely to represent an ideological shift at MSNBC, as both Psaki and Maddow share a staunchly progressive outlook.

In fact, Psaki’s tenure may intensify MSNBC’s anti-Trump rhetoric, given her history of sharp critiques against the former and current president.

Her rapid ascent at MSNBC mirrors the network’s pattern of hiring former Democratic insiders, which likely won’t help the network’s reputation with critics who accuse it of being a mouthpiece for the left.

Despite those lingering concerns, Psaki swears that she’ll approach Trump with — as USA Today describes it — “a fresh approach.”

“If you’re projecting that your show is only about insider views, that’s completely missing the moment,” Psaki said.

“Insiders don’t have all the answers, so I wanted to change the name immediately.”

Rocky Mountain DEA and other federal agencies executed a raid on a Colorado Springs nightclub early Sunday morning, seizing drugs and weapons and arresting more than 100 illegal aliens. 

According to the agency, 114 illegal aliens were arrested and placed “on buses for processing and likely eventual deportation.”

DEA Rocky Mountain Field Division Special Agent in Charge Jonathan Pullen shared in a press conference that the investigation on the nightclub had been ongoing for several months, and they had uncovered evidence of drug trafficking and prostitution, along with Tren de Aragua and MS-13 gang members. They estimate that over 200 people, some of whom had outstanding arrest warrants, were in the nightclub during the raid, and over 100 people were taken into ICE custody. Pullen told reporters that over ten federal agencies and local police agencies assisted with the operation.

“We actually have a few other operations pending right now across the city. We’re waiting to determine if there’ll be other arrests from those,” he said.

WATCH:

Footage from the raid shows police busting down what appears to be a glass window before patrons of the club, including what appear to be prostitutes, come rushing out through the doors:

This comes after another makeshift nightclub was busted earlier this year.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, federal narcotics agents arrested approximately 50 illegal aliens during a high-stakes drug trafficking raid in Adams County, Colorado, in January. Many of those apprehended had ties to Tren de Aragua. Federal agents found the roughly 50 illegals, along with drugs, weapons, and cash, in an illegal “invite-only” underground nightclub used for gang activity.

The funeral and burial of late Pope Francis brought together heads of state and dignitaries from all over the world. And it ended up being an opportunity for Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky to get 15 minutes of face-to-face time with US President Donald J. Trump.

The meeting took place inside the Holy at Saint Peter’s Basilica, and was catapulted to nearly every paper and magazine cover in the world.

But when Trump arrived, there were three chairs for the conversation.

Papers around the world had their lip readers try to guess what happened in this highly unusual exchange, revealing Trump’s five-word warning to Macron.

The Sun reported:

“Pictures show Macron embracing the Ukrainian President, before Trump pulls the French President aside and issues a frosty warning.

Professional lip reader Nicola Hickling analyzed the interaction between the world leaders and told The Sun: ‘Donald reaches his hands out to both of them and brings them towards him. He says to Macron <you are not in the right here, I need you to do me a favour, you should not be here>.’

‘Zelensky nods in agreement and the vicar who is in front of the camera turns his head to the side looking worried at what he has heard between them’.”

“Hickling also analyzed video footage from Zelensky and Trump’s mini peace summit.

According to Hickling, the Ukrainian president said: ‘I would like you to do that, but not this way’.

Trump replies: ‘It’s a very interesting strategy. You have reassurance’.

Following the funeral, Zelensky said: ‘We discussed a lot one on one. Hoping for results on everything we covered. Protecting lives of our people’.”

Trump telling Macron he isn’t invited to join the Zelensky negotiation. Amazing.

Macron is a globalist puppet who’s long been in on the scam.

The most hated people in America gathered on Saturday night to pat themselves on the back for their dishonest reporting at the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) Dinner. 

This year’s dinner, which President Trump skipped amid tension with the leftist media over the decision to bar Associated Press reporters from the Oval Office pool and the Correspondents’ Association’s initial decision to host a Trump-hating comedian, had little to no attention surrounding it.

As the Hill puts it, there was “less glitz and glamour than previous years.” The New York Times says, “actual celebrities were hard to find.” And unlike previous years, there was almost no buzz on social media.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, leftist comedian Amber Ruffin’s act was canceled after she appeared on CNN and said she hoped President Donald Trump would not attend the dinner.

“At this consequential moment for journalism, I want to ensure the focus is not on the politics of division but entirely on awarding our colleagues for their outstanding work and providing scholarship and mentorship to the next generation of journalists,” WHCA President Eugene Daniels said upon announcing the change.

Instead, they used the night to pretend to care about the First Amendment and act as if they’re doing Yeoman’s work to hold the government accountable, which couldn’t be further from the truth.

As trust in the media is at an all-time low, Eugene Daniels, the Queen President of the Association, desperately tried to humanize the dishonest leftist media in a defensive manner. “What we are not is the opposition, what we are not is the enemy of the people, and what we are not is the enemy of the state,” he cried.

Daniels: We journalists are a lot of things. We are competitive and pushy, we are impatient, and sometimes we think we know everything. But we’re also human. We miss our families and significant life moments in service to this job. We care deeply about accuracy and take seriously the heavy responsibility of being stewards of the public’s trust. What we are not is the opposition, what we are not is the enemy of the people, and what we are not is the enemy of the state.

Daniels was indirectly calling out the Trump Administration for hostility toward the leftist press. However, as Sean Spicer notes, nobody cared when the Biden White House and DEI Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre revoked the credentials of honest journalists.

Another X user called out the “oddly dressed” Eugene Daniels for whining about the First Amendment and pretending to care about accuracy, as they continue to push hoaxes surrounding January 6, Russian collusion in the 2016 election, COVID-19, and more.

These are the same people describing a deported Salvadoran MS-13 gang member and illegal alien as a “Maryland father,” who was wrongly deported. They are, in fact, the enemy of the people.

These are also the same people who spent four years covering for Joe Biden’s cognitive decline while the rest of America knew he was unfit to serve. They then ignored the Democratic Party’s coup against Biden and propped up DEI Vice President Kamala Harris. They are everything they claim they’re not.

Introduced by bitter anti-Trump NBC hack Kristen Welker, Alex Thompson of Axios received the Aldo Beckman Award for Journalistic Excellence and a $2500 reward for his “aggressive reporting on President Biden,” revealing that “the President’s cognitive decline was impacting his ability to do his job.” Nearly everybody in America knew this, but they’re still pretending this is new information.

In his speech, Thompson softly called out the White House Press Corps, who lied about Biden’s cognitive decline. “We, myself included, missed a lot of this story, and some people trust us less because of it,” he said, refusing to acknowledge that they were part of the cover-up.

WATCH:

Thompson: To my bones, I believe that reporting and the White House Correspondents’ Association is as necessary as ever. President Biden’s decline and its cover-up by the people around him is a reminder that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception. But being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves. We, myself included, missed a lot of this story, and some people trust us less because of it.

We bear some responsibility for faith in the media being at such lows. I say this because acknowledging errors builds trust and being defensive about them further erodes it. We should have done better. I believe our mission is vital in a world where people are struggling to figure out what’s true, and people with power are not telling the truth. I also believe that this association has been, is, and will continue to be critical to that mission.
