President Donald Trump backed down on his plans to try to obstruct the bipartisan housing reform bill after a meeting with House Republican leadership — but on Monday, he was still noncommittal about the issue when asked by reporters, and seemed to suggest he didn't care about it at all.

"I don’t know," said the president when asked. "I think it's so unimportant compared to the Save America Act. Democrats like it. They are getting things that I wouldn’t necessarily agree to. I made a lot of money with housing."

The Supreme Court just took "one more big step toward autocracy," Slate legal writer Mark Joseph Stern argued Monday, and he warned Congress was left in the rubble.

Stern wrote that the court's two same-day rulings on presidential firing power are "almost comically irreconcilable." In Trump v. Slaughter, the 6-3 conservative majority overturned Humphrey's Executor, a unanimous 91-year-old precedent, and held the president can fire the heads of independent agencies at will, clearing President Donald Trump's removal of Democratic FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter.

The Supreme Court just swung a massive wrecking ball at the federal government on President Donald Trump's behalf, according to a new analysis.

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Trump v. Slaughter that the president has the power to fire members of formerly independent agencies like the Federal Trade Commission. Trump celebrated the ruling as a necessary expansion of presidential power, while some court watchers cautioned that it could lead to a full-scale overhaul of the federal government at the behest of one man.

President Donald Trump's Medicare and Medicaid administrator Dr. Oz took the stage at the Great American State Fair on Monday to brag about the crowd size — but a TMZ reporter was on scene to pan the camera and reveal that, in fact, almost no one was there on the National Mall to watch the speech.

"There are tons of people here, it's a huge space, and it's going to get more and more crowded as the week goes on," said Oz, standing on the stage with right-wing actor Dean Cain.

CNN special correspondent Jamie Gangel didn't sugarcoat President Donald Trump's Supreme Court setback, tracing it straight back to his refusal to accept the 2020 election.

The court ruled 5-4 Monday in Watson v. Republican National Committee that states may count mail ballots postmarked by Election Day even if they arrive afterward, rejecting an RNC challenge Trump's Justice Department had backed. Trump called it a "tremendous loss."

A Constitutional law expert slammed a GOP pundit's "absolutely ridiculous" analogy about the Supreme Court's decision to overturn more than nine decades of precedent on presidential power.

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in Trump v. Slaughter that President Donald Trump has the authority to fire members of the previously independent Federal Trade Commission. The decision overturned a precedent known as Humphrey's Executor, which had stood for more than 91 years, and prevented the president from firing employees of independent government agencies.

A Republican judge handed acting Attorney General Todd Blanche his 10th straight court loss in the Department of Justice's quest to force states to hand over voter rolls.

Judge Joseph N. LaPlante, a George W. Bush appointee in New Hampshire, dismissed every count of the federal government's lawsuit against the state Monday. No court has granted the Justice Department's request.

Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann fixed on a single word in Chief Justice John Roberts' majority opinion and said it left him deeply unsettled.

Reacting on air to Monday's 6-3 ruling in Trump v. Slaughter, which overturned 91 years of precedent and lets the president fire members of independent agencies without cause, Weissmann said the decision extends the theory of expansive presidential power Roberts laid out in the Trump v. United States immunity case.

White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson called it "absolutely sick" after the anti-Trump code "8647" appeared inside the Great American State Fair.

Jackson sounded off Monday on Newsmax, where anchor Katrina Szish raised the growing string of sightings at Freedom 250's National Mall celebration.

The Supreme Court handed President Donald Trump a loss on Monday in siding against his party on voting, refusing to overturn state laws that allow mail ballots that arrive after Election Day to be counted as long as they are postmarked by Election Day. But they might simultaneously have given Trump the tools to punch a hole in the right to vote by mail anyway.

That's because they also released their long-awaited decision in Trump v. Slaughter, overturning nearly a century of precedent to determine the president can fire members of independent agencies without cause.

President Donald Trump's Federal Aviation Administration is shutting down flights at Reagan National Airport for 15 hours across two days to clear the skies for his Freedom 250 celebration.

The FAA posted the warning on Monday on X, saying it has been coordinating with stakeholders "for months to help ensure the safe and efficient movement of air traffic during celebrations of America's 250th birthday, including the iconic flyovers and fireworks."
