The Qatari royal family has been trying for five years to unload one of the jumbo jets in their fleet, but they had been unable to find a buyer until they foisted the massive aircraft on president Donald Trump.

Airlines have been retiring the Boeing 747 over the last decade because they're too expensive to fly, cost more to maintain and require longer runways for landing, and the Qataris had struggled to find a buyer for one of their three remaining "flying palaces" before offering it to the U.S. president as a gift, reported Forbes.

Legal experts listened to the oral arguments at the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday, where the justices heard the case dealing with eliminating birthright citizenship.

The Constitution guarantees that any person born on U.S. soil is a U.S. citizen. President Donald Trump made an executive order that would eliminate such legal protections for the children of migrants born in the U.S.

In a live stream conversation with fellow legal expert Norm Eisen, former prosecutor Joyce Vance questioned if the “fever dream” for Trump voters is over.

“I read there's a big breaking story in the Wall Street Journal, Joyce. Did you see it?” Eisen asked. “Walmart is raising its prices, and they've said publicly, we have to do it because of the Trump tariffs. So it really seems like these tariffs are hitting Americans in the wallet as well, including many who voted for Trump. What do you think?”

Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett set off a firestorm among conservatives on Thursday morning after she admonished Donald Trump's solicitor general for ducking questions from colleague Justice Elana Kagan.

During the oral arguments over birthright citizenship, Kagan pressed Solicitor General D. John Sauer to make the case for Trump's executive order and shot down one answer by telling the attorney, "I mean, that's a lot of words and I don't have an answer for if one thinks — and, you know, look, there are all kinds of abuses of nationwide injunctions. But I think that the question that this case presents is that if one thinks that, it's quite clear that the [executive order] is illegal, how does one get to that result?"

First Lady Casey DeSantis on Wednesday denounced the criticism about her Hope Florida charity program in her harshest terms to date, while maintaining that she remains open about a potential run next year to succeed her husband in office.

The DeSantises appeared at a Brandon church in eastern Hillsborough County to host a roundtable discussion about the virtues of Hope Florida, the social services initiative led by the First Lady that aims to help Floridians in need.

Solicitor General D. John Sauer was placed under fire from Supreme Court Justices Sonya Sotomayor and Elena Kagan at the so-called “birthright citizenship” hearing.

“You said to us we'd have to wait until there was a final judgment,” Sotomayor said. “You're not sure you would respect the judgment of every circuit. You're not sure that you would respect even a final judgment of the Supreme Court.”

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy revealed that he tries to defeat the security protocols implemented by his own agency.

During a Thursday Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) complained to Duffy about the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) facial recognition policy.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) cited a C-SPAN caller's conspiracy theory on "Chinese birth houses" as she called to end birthright citizenship granted by the U.S. Constitution.

In a Thursday post on X, Greene pointed to an independent caller on C-SPAN's Washington Journal program.

JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon thinks fallout from Trump’s tariff moves could still cause a recession.

“Hopefully we’ll avoid it, but I wouldn’t take it off the table at this point,” Dimon said in a Bloomberg Television interview Thursday.

In addition to showering rich Americans and large corporations with more tax breaks, legislation that Republicans advanced out of committee on Wednesday would officially eliminate the Internal Revenue Service's popular and free Direct File program, which allowed eligible taxpayers to sidestep private prep companies that have lobbied relentlessly against government-offered alternatives for decades.

The tax legislation that the GOP-controlled House Ways and Means Committee approved in a party-line vote contains an underlooked provision that requires the U.S. Treasury Department to "ensure that the Internal Revenue Service Direct File program has been terminated."

According to MSNBC host Jonathan Lemire, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did himself no favors on Wednesday when he was grilled by members of Congress in televised hearings on his department's budget.

At the conclusion of a segment MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that began with co-host Mike Brzezinski laughing until she cried at Kennedy's decision to take a dip in polluted waters, Joe Scarborough showed clips of Kennedy refusing to offer an opinion about vaccines, saying American's shouldn't consider his opinions on the matter, which has stunned onlookers.

That led the MSNBC host to ask Lemire, "What's his standing in the administration because it is interesting, the MAGA base at times in the past has been skeptical of him because he is left-wing on a lot of issues? What is his standing in the administration? What is his standing with President Trump?"

"We're about to find out, because this is sort of this first moment in the spotlight; the measles outbreak and now these hearings," Lemire replied. "He was, President Trump, deeply pleased with Kennedy, with the endorsement and the support down the stretch of the campaign, that he'd tell people that he had a Kennedy with him."

"That was something that really meant a lot to him in his campaign and he loves the idea of having a Kennedy work for him as part of the cabinet," he added before noting, "You know, to this point, Kennedy has been largely relatively low-profile in the first couple of months –– that's now changing, we're going to have to see how this goes."

Regarding Kennedy's appearance before lawmakers, he continued. "I mean, this obviously was an absurd performance yesterday, as those as congressmen pointed out, as Kennedy said, 'Well, I don't want to give advice.' That's exactly your job! You are the Health and Human Services secretary, the CDC. You give advice, you give health recommendations. Kennedy trying to walk a fine line. We will see how that plays with the administration in the months ahead."
