This week, President Donald Trump announced that he had killed 11 alleged drug cartel members in foreign waters, and one senator thinks the strike was just the beginning — and will serve as a justification for action on U.S. soil.

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), who achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, fears that the next step is authorizing the use of military force against people in the United States.

President Donald Trump triggered outrage on Friday during a signing of his executive order to rebrand the Department of Defense to the "Department of War," when he suggested the United States only loses wars due to "woke" cultural values.

"We should have won every war," said Trump. "We could have won every war, but we really chose to be a very politically correct—wokey. We never wanted to win."

Former Fox News commentator Geraldo Rivera told CNN's Kate Bolduan on Friday he doesn't think President Donald Trump's push to bury the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking files controversy, most recently calling it a "hoax" manufactured by Democrats, is going to move the needle much.

"It's a valid question to be asked as to why the Democrats didn't push more for any of this during President Biden's term or after, after Epstein's death," said Bolduan. "That being said, the president continues to try to tamp this down. Do you think that this sort of thing, calling it a hoax by the Democrats, is enough to tamp down the calls for transparency from within his own party on this issue?"

CNN data analyst Harry Enten raked President Donald Trump over the coals on Friday following the dismal new jobs report, taking the president to task for taking every possible opportunity to blame someone else for his woes while pushing ahead with aggressive tariffs and other policies the business world warns are constraining growth.

"Let's dig into those numbers a little bit, take a closer look at what the jobs report tells us," said anchor Erica Hill. "So, Harry, first of all, give me the big takeaways, my friend."

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro could be in line for a private dressing down by a federal magistrate for wasting the court’s time with multiple frivolous federal charges that either get dropped at the last minute or flop in front of federal grand juries.

Reacting to federal Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui blowing up on DOJ prosecutors for pulling another last-minute dropping of federal charges ordered by Pirro on Thursday, a panel of legal experts on MSNBC suggested the Trump appointee should expect a courtroom appointment with the judge in the near future to explain her actions.
