MSNBC host Jen Psaki's program, "The Briefing," has seen a 47% decline in viewership since she took over the time slot previously held by Rachel Maddow. In response to the ratings slump, the network reduced Psaki's schedule to four days a week while launching a new promotional campaign. Psaki's show continues to focus on themes of political resistance and speaking out against the current administration's policies.
Author John Grisham appeared on The View and joked about writing a sequel to "The Pelican Brief" involving the assassination of Supreme Court Justices. Grisham criticized the current court as being at its lowest point since the 2000 Bush v. Gore decision. The hosts point out that Grisham's rhetoric regarding "stolen" elections makes him an election denier by modern standards.

Reports from The Advocate suggest Russell's organization, Invisible Children, received funding from the National Christian Foundation, which has been linked to anti-gay legislation in Uganda.
