CNN’s Jake Tapper delivered a fierce pushback Friday after Joe Biden's team attempted to downplay newly released audio of the former president appearing to struggle with memory lapses during a special counsel interview.

The audio, obtained by Axios, captures Biden occasionally slurring his words and losing his train of thought during questioning by Special Counsel Robert Hur, who infuriated the Biden White House when he concluded that the Democrat was “a well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court of the United States sided against President Donald Trump's administration on Friday in a high-profile case.

Slate legal writer Mark Joseph Stern reported Friday that the Supreme Court determined that the Trump administration violated the due process rights of more than 200 Venezuelan immigrants it deported to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. Stern further reported that the decision prohibits Trump from further deportations under the 18th century law, and that lower courts must now decide how to make sure deportees are still processed in accordance with the Constitution.

The Republican civil war over President Donald Trump’s sprawling budget bill so no signs of slowing down Friday as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) unloaded on Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and other GOP colleagues.

At the center of the drama is the bill’s treatment of the state and local tax deduction, also known as SALT. Lawler, like others in the New York delegation, is currently opposed to the president’s package for failing to fully repeal the SALT cap. The bitter feud between Greene and Lawler spilled over into a public battle Wednesday as the two Republican lawmakers flung jabs at each other.

The internet let out a collective gasp as President Donald Trump referred to the word "nuclear" as the "N word" during a light moment with Fox News anchor Bret Baier.

After President Donald Trump suffered a major loss at the Supreme Court, he took to his Truth Social platform to blast the justices over the decision. But he wasn't satisfied with a single post.

Moody’s Ratings Service downgraded the United States’ credit rating on Friday, citing rising government debt and increased interest payments, according to media reports.

The ratings agency lowered the U.S. from Aaa to Aa1 – the first time Moody’s has issued such a downgrade in modern history. The rare and sobering distinction was quickly noticed by political observers across social media, who quickly hurled blame at President Donald Trump.

After Democratic Michigan Rep. Shri Thanedar earlier this week opted not to move forward with an effort to force the U.S. House of Representatives to vote on impeaching U.S. President Donald Trump, another lawmaker on Thursday filed a single article of impeachment against Trump, calling him a threat to democracy.

In a Thursday statement, Rep. Al Green of Texas, a Democrat, said that he "announced on the floor of the House of Representatives that I have filed H.Res.415 to impeach President Donald John Trump for condoning the flouting of federal court orders, flouting the separation of powers, undermining the independence of the federal judiciary, and flouting the constitutional mandate of due process."

Conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett once again found herself the subject of a full-on MAGA meltdown on Friday as diehard supporters of President Donald Trump targeted her for siding with the Supreme Court’s liberal justices.

The ruling that triggered the MAGAverse came Friday and blocks the administration’s mass deportations of accused Venezuelan gang members. It was a sharp rebuke to Trump’s sprawling immigration crackdown, according to legal experts.

President Donald Trump and the House GOP suffered an embarrassing defeat Friday as multiple Republicans joined with Democrats to block what Trump calls the "big, beautiful bill" combining tax cuts, energy deregulation, and border security from even clearing the House Budget Committee — sending everyone back to the drawing board and leaving some Republican strategists in doubt whether the bill as imagined is even possible.

With the Republican caucus bitterly divided over how much to cut, what types of tax breaks to give, and how far they are willing to go on Medicaid and food stamp cuts, pro-Trump voices on social media blew up with rage, but many other commenters on social media laughed at the GOP's dysfunction.
