President Donald Trump and his allies are barreling toward a historic "clash" with the Supreme Court – including with conservative justices he personally appointed – unlike anything seen in nearly 100 years, a legal expert told The Washington Post.

“It seems like almost 100 years since you’ve had a clash approaching this level between the president and the court,” said Jeffrey Fisher, a law professor and co-director of Stanford University’s Supreme Court Litigation Clinic. “You’d have to go back to the New Deal to have any kind of an analogue.”

Frustration between President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans is now growing harder to mask.

The 80-year-old president's relentless push to attach the SAVE America Act to various Senate bills has created mounting friction between the White House and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), with GOP lawmakers increasingly expressing frustration at what they characterize as the president's misunderstanding of Senate operations, reported MS NOW.

A political analyst was astounded on Sunday as Republican criticism of President Donald Trump's war with Iran grew louder following the collapse of peace talks in Switzerland.

David Pakman, host of the "David Pakman Show on YouTube," reacted to former Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy's recent appearance on Fox News, where he sharply criticized the alleged deal that the Trump administration struck with the Iranian regime last weekend, in a new episode on Sunday. Gowdy described Trump's deal as a capitulation, arguing that he released the "economic stranglehold" that the U.S. held over Iran for decades.

A long-time GOP operative warned on Sunday that his party is facing an existential crisis as the conservative parts of the party give way to President Donald Trump's extremist followers, and that could have massive implications for American society going forward.

Mike Madrid, author of "The Great Transformation" on Substack, argued in a new essay that there has been a "complete collapse" in the relationship between Republicanism and Conservatism, one that Trump filled with "populist nationalism and bigger, stronger government." And that collapse could have serious ramifications, he warned.

President Donald Trump's war with Iran put the global economy on the brink of collapse, and one economist warns that it could get worse if one sector of the economy begins to show signs of weakness.

Liaquat Ahamed, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and former World Bank investment chief, said during a recent episode of "The Court of History" podcast on the Legal AF Network that Trump's unilateral decision to impose tariffs on America's trading partners had already weakened the global economy before his war with Iran began. After the Iranian regime closed the Strait of Hormuz, the economy came exceedingly close to the brink, Ahamed argued.

President Donald Trump astonished onlookers on Sunday after he announced the findings from his recent inspection of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which has come under significant scrutiny over the last week.

Trump initially embarked on renovating the Reflecting Pool as part of his efforts to "restore" Washington, D.C., but the project quickly spiraled out of control as costs ballooned and the stubborn algae that has plagued the pool for years returned. The attention has drawn the eyes of television cameras and curious observers alike.

Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C., issued a wild threat to a prominent journalist during a recent interview on Fox News with Peter Doocy that was sharply mocked by political analysts and commentators.

Doocy asked Pirro on "The Sunday Briefing" whether ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl would face criminal charges after he held up a piece of the peeling Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool during a recent report. The question came at a time when the Trump administration is trying to find a scapegoat for the shoddy renovation work, the cost of which had ballooned to more than $14 million from the initial projections of $1.8 million, according to reports.

A foreign-relations expert offered blunt advice to President Donald Trump as negotiations between his administration and the Iranian regime deteriorate.

Joseph Cirincione, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, told MS NOW's Alex Witt on "Alex Witt Reports" that Trump appears to have a way to make a stronger deal with the Iranian regime, but the president is blind to it because of how much he is blustering about the state of the war. His comments come at a time when Trump's deal with Iran has become the "joke in Washington," according to Cirincione, and the Iranian regime seems to be backing away from an agreement struck between the two sides over continued fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

Political analysts and observers were shocked on Sunday by a new report revealing that former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's actions throughout her more than two decades in office appeared to have been "guided" by Chris Butler of the Science of Identity Foundation, which several ex-members have described as a "cult."

The Washington Post obtained more than 25,000 memos and other documents exchanged between Gabbard and Butler that appeared to reveal instances in which Butler gave Gabbard direction on several issues, according to the report. There were other instances in which Butler sharply criticized the former Representative from Hawaii as "mealymouthed" over one bill she introduced.

The deal President Donald Trump's administration struck with the Iranian regime has become a joke in Washington, D.C., and it's left the president embarrassed and flailing for an answer, according to one analyst.

Last week, the Trump administration and the Iranian regime agreed to a deal that would immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway that accounts for roughly 20% of the world's energy trade, and postpone more substantive talks until later in the week in Switzerland. Those talks were scheduled to take place on Friday, but were delayed until Saturday due to ongoing fighting between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Iranian regime also announced on Saturday that it was going to shut the Strait of Hormuz again.

Former Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard may have been “guided” throughout her more than 24 years in politics by Chris Butler, the leader of a group countless ex-members have described as a “cult,” an extensive report from The Washington Post revealed Sunday.

Gabbard began her career in politics as a Hawaii state House representative in 2002, climbing the ranks over decades before being appointed as Director of National Intelligence last year, a position she resigned from last Friday citing her husband’s deteriorating health.
