The U.S. Supreme Court is officially taking up a review of whether President Donald Trump's executive order abolishing birthright citizenship is constitutional, Axios reported Friday.

The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution guarantees a right to citizenship for anyone born in the United States and "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" — which courts and legal scholars have always interpreted to mean anyone subject to the laws of the country, which would mean everyone except foreign diplomats, invading armies, or indigenous people enrolled in tribal nations.

President Donald Trump is opening yet another front in his war on the free press, columnist Brian Karem wrote for Salon on Friday — and it's getting harder to overlook his true vision for the media.

"In the latest round of professional malfeasance, the president’s sycophants in the communications office have launched a 'Media Bias Portal' on the official White House website," wrote Karem.

A number of MAGA figures are pleading with President Donald Trump Friday to intervene after the streaming giant Netflix announced it had reached an agreement to purchase Warner Bros.

“TRUMP MUST STOP THIS!” wrote Matt Gaetz, the former Republican congressman from Florida who left amid scandal, including allegations that he paid for sex with a 17-year-old.

U.S. District Judge Rodney Smith ordered the release of grand jury materials from investigations into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

After rejecting a similar bid earlier this year, Smith said on Friday that the Epstein Files Transparency Act granted him the authority to release grand jury transcripts.

The Trump administration’s recent decision to end immigration protections for Haitians shocked many in the migrant community, but for Caribbean-U.S.-based journalist Felicia Persaud, it was a predictable outcome driven in part by pro-Trump immigrant voters.

The Department of Homeland Security announced last month that it would be terminating Temporary Protect Status for Haiti, first enacted under the Biden administration due to the ongoing political instability in the Caribbean nation that has endured centuries of exploitation and political meddling from Western nations.

Fox News hosts expressed disappointment after claiming that FIFA had "rigged" an event with President Donald Trump and other world leaders.

During a Friday ceremony at the Kennedy Center, Trump received FIFA's first annual peace prize before participating in a draw with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

It did not take long after Donald Trump was awarded a “peace prize” from FIFA, the governing body for international soccer responsible for World Cup events, when the glitter started to come off the gold.

On Friday afternoon, the president, who has been lobbying for Nobel Prize for years, attended a FIFA event at the Kennedy Center designed around for the match-up draw for the 2026 World Cup where Trump was gifted the newly created honor by FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
