During Donald Trump's first presidency, one his most famous lines was, "I am a very stable genius." And the line became so famous that Washington Post reporters Philip Rucker and Carol Leonnig used it in the title of their 2020 book "A Very Stable Genius: Donald J. Trump's Testing of America."

Now, during his second presidency, Trump is still bragging about his cognitive ability. But according to Daily Beast reporter Catherine Bouris, Trump cannot remember the details of a recent cognitive test.

Donald Trump's Justice Department lawyers are reportedly facing potential contempt charges, at the same time as they are offering a "contemptuous response" to a judge.

The Supreme Court recently issued a tepid ruling in a case involving a wrongly deported man, and Trump's Department of Justice has been using the language in that order to justify its failure to so far return the removed individual.

Republican lawmakers who have continued to give in to Donald Trump's demands could be making preparations for a potential rebellion.

Brazil's ex-president Jair Bolsonaro said Saturday that he will "probably" need surgery, after being hospitalized a day earlier in the northeastern city of Natal with what he called "unbearable" abdominal pain.

The far-right former leader said on X that he would "probably be operated on again" after being transferred to a hospital in Brasilia.

When Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died in 2020 and President Donald Trump appointed Justice Amy Coney Barrett as a replacement, it was a definite game changer for the U.S. Supreme Court. Ginsburg was a liberal appointee of former President Bill Clinton, while Barrett is considered an "originalist" who was greatly influenced by the late Justice Antonin Scalia.

Moreover, Barrett doesn't have the libertarian leanings of former Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Ronald Reagan appointee who was right-wing in his judicial philosophy yet voted with Ginsburg and other High Court liberals on key issues involving gay rights and abortion rights. Very much a social conservative, Barrett was part of the 2022 majority decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization — which overturned Roe v. Wade after 49 years.

According to a report from Politico's Arek Sarkissian and Gary Fineout, Florida first lady Casey DeSantis, who reportedly has political aspirations of her own, received the $10 million in dispute and then flipped it within days from her Hope Florida non-profit to two groups who backed her husband's attempt to derail a pot amendment.

MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle appeared with her old hosting partner Ali Velshi on Saturday morning to weigh in on a major announcement from Donald Trump's administration on Chinese imports.

In a bulletin posted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection late Friday, the administration announced smartphones, computers, and assorted electronics would be exempt from the ruinous 145% percent tariffs imposed on other Chinese products.

Following a week in which Donald Trump has made contradictory remarks about the wide-ranging tariffs he wants to impose, only to adjust them and then back off others, CNN's Abby Phillip noted there are growing concerns about his recent behavior.

Speaking with her panel on "Table ofr Five" on Saturday, Phillip's commentary followed a GOP strategist and member of the Black Americans for Trump Coalition stating this is not the Trump he voted for three times.
