The Trump administration has filed an appeal of the order to take President Donald Trump's name off the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts — and legal experts immediately noticed the filing was so vitriolic and unprofessional that the president himself likely had a hand in writing it.

"Without the name, 'Trump' on the Building, our fundraising will not only come to a halt, but any and all monies raised or committed would be obligated to be returned, refunded, or terminated," stated the filing, adding that "people and companies, who have given, or will be giving, millions of dollars to the Center were only willing to do so with the name 'Trump' on the Building. Many did it because they loved the concept of two Great Presidents, one Republican, one Democrat, working together as one."

The Texas Republican Party decided to parade a fully grown elephant through the hall of their party convention on Friday — and it didn't go well.

According to a video shared by New York Times Texas political correspondent Lauren McGaughy, the elephant "took a giant pee" on the floor just as it was passing the press area, prompting shouts of surprise and laughter from nearby onlookers, with one saying, "Oh, shoot!"

A UFC fighter on President Donald Trump's White House birthday card once allegedly called his Black opponent a "human gorilla" — and he's far from the only fighter on the bill with baggage.

Trump requested veteran heavyweight Derrick Lewis for the card after watching Josh Hokit, 28, battle Lewis' future opponent at UFC 327 in April. Hokit was matched against Lewis for the event — a seven-fight card costing upwards of $60 million — and has since become one of its most talked-about fighters, for dubious reasons.

Elon Musk’s net worth surged past $1 trillion on Friday as SpaceX—the rocket company he founded and controls—made its debut on the public market, prompting global revulsion and calls for an aggressive wealth tax to rein in out-of-control inequality.

“Musk became the world’s first trillionaire because our tax system shields the wealth of the ultra-wealthy from taxation while requiring working to people pay taxes on every paycheck,” said Igor Volsky, director of the Tax the Greedy Billionaires Campaign. “Today’s milestone should serve as a wake-up call to us all.”

Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback has gotten himself disinvited from the Sunshine State Showdown, a key primary debate for the GOP, after he was caught violating party rules.

According to the right-wing outlet Florida's Voice, Fishback's removal from the event came as a result of his agreeing to participate in another unauthorized debate immediately after accepting the invitation to the authorized one.

After the Republican Party’s decision to terminate subsidies that had significantly reduced healthcare costs under the Affordable Care Act for 22 million people, the White House is considering a new way to—officials claim—“help” Americans who face massive medical bills, either due to high-deductible plans that don’t cover routine costs or because of emergency expenses.

The proposal, though, could just shift “who [the patients] owe the debt to,” as one doctor and researcher told The New York Times, which reported Thursday on the Trump administration’s proposal to allow people to take out loans directly from their health insurance companies when they can’t afford to pay a hospital or doctor’s office out of pocket—and then pay the insurance company back, likely with interest.

Renowned political analyst Larry Sabato told MS NOW's Antonia Hylton on Friday that the public could be sleeping on a key Senate race that might help Democrats take the majority: Alaska.

"Larry, do you think that there is a race out there right now that people aren't talking quite enough about?" asked Hylton, noting that plenty of other races, like North Carolina, are attracting massive attention. "Is there another area where they actually may have a shot, and the party or the base just aren't really thinking about it right now?"
