Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) sparked outrage from critics Friday night when he joined Republicans in voting against reining in President Donald Trump's war powers.

The legislation, introduced by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), sought to limit Trump's authority to launch military strikes against Iran without congressional approval. The resolution failed in the Senate by a vote of 47-53 on Friday night, and critics quickly pointed out that Fetterman broke ranks with most Democrats to oppose the measure. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was the lone Republican to support the measure.

The Supreme Court may have handed President Donald Trump a significant win on Friday, but a new Politico report revealed "signs of hope buried in the fine print."

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court limited the ability of federal judges to issue nationwide injunctions that block presidential policies. Specifically, the ruling targeted those related to Trump’s executive order attempting to end birthright citizenship for babies born in the United States to non-citizens or lawful permanent residents. While the ruling didn't weigh in on whether Trump's order was constitutional, the ruling sharply curtailed the power of district court judges to block nationwide federal policies. In general, injunctions can now only protect specific plaintiffs in a lawsuit rather than the entire country.

President Donald Trump's administration set a "trap" for the Supreme Court, and Shirin Ali wrote for Slate on Friday that the court walked right into it.

The Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. Casa, which was issued on Friday, sent shockwaves through the government. The court decided that nationwide injunctions, or court orders that prevent the government from enforcing a specific law or policy, are unconstitutional. While that ruling is stunning on its face, Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor thinks the ruling will have massive implications for years to come.

Former Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy appeared to be triggered by the state of American politics during a recent online forum.

Kennedy appeared on a panel about the threats to the rule of law, where he cited threats to the judicial branch and extreme rhetoric. He said both issues have degraded democracy both in the U.S. and abroad.

Immigration officials sparked outrage after they snatched a 64-year-old Iranian woman who has lived in the country for decades while she was gardening at her New Orleans home. Speaking to MSNBC on Friday, the daughter of Madonna “Donna” Kashanian became choked up talking about the kindness and care of her mother.

Kashanian's husband, Russ Milne, told host Nicolle Wallace that she has fought through the system for citizenship for many decades. He said that she entered a previous marriage "at a very young age." It was finally deemed unlawful, and she was able to apply for asylum while attending university on a student visa.

The Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, has lost the ability to control the federal processes for awarding grants, a sign of its "declining influence," The Washington Post reported Friday.

DOGE's loss of access marks the end of the months-long saga where the agency sought to prevent federal grants from being disbursed to grantees. Agency employees argued that their work involved stopping waste, fraud, and abuse. Critics have argued that the efforts to prevent the flow of grant money amounted to an illegal impoundment of federal money.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has the "facts on his side," a former federal prosecutor said about his lawsuit against Fox News.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace on Friday, legal analyst Harry Litman addressed Newsom's recent lawsuit regarding an episode of Jesse Waters' show that addressed a debate over when Newsom spoke with President Donald Trump about sending the National Guard to Los Angeles.

President Donald Trump lashed out at Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Friday during a news conference, calling him "stupid" and a "stubborn mule."

The news conference was to announce a peace deal between Rwanda and Congo, two African nations that have been embroiled in a bloody conflict for decades. Trump took questions from reporters following the peace deal's announcement and was asked about whether he wanted Powell to resign from his post.

During a ceremony Friday celebrating a brokered peace deal between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, President Donald Trump snapped at a reporter who asked him about U.S. trade policies on Canada.

Earlier on Friday, Trump announced that trade negotiations had been halted with Canada, citing Canada’s digital services tax on American tech firms as the primary reason for the fallout. While handing out commemorative coins to Rwanda and Congo leaders, as well as a journalist during the peace deal ceremony, Trump was asked by a reporter, “Why not Canada?”

Former federal prosecutor Elie Honig took issue with the dissent written by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson in the case involving nationwide injunctions against executive orders from President Donald Trump.

Honig told a CNN panel that he doesn't think that this is a Democrat vs. Republican issue. President Joe Biden's administration made the same argument in the court that the Trump administration did, he noted.
