One of President Donald Trump’s closest allies, U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, has had a recent string of “repeated failures” in securing indictments against the president’s political enemies, but those very “failures,” argued MS NOW producer Steve Benen, could ultimately elevate her to the nation’s top law enforcement post.

Pirro’s latest “humiliating failure,” Benen wrote in a report published Monday, came after the Justice Department dropped its criminal probe into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, whom Trump relentlessly attacked for refusing to lower interest rates to his liking, despite the decision not being entirely Powell’s to make.

The U.S. Supreme Court could soon be put on the spot if lawmakers challenge President Donald Trump's war against Iran.

The president's war with Iran is most likely illegal under the War Powers Act, argued Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of the University of California, Berkeley, law school in an op-ed for the New York Times, and he said it will be plainly unlawful by the end of this week.

RNC National Committeewoman Patti Lyman called on Steve Bannon's War Room "posse" to ask God to prevent Virginia's new district maps from being used for the midterm elections.

As the Virginia Supreme Court was hearing oral arguments on the new district maps, Lyman predicted a ruling would come in the next few days.

On Monday, former MSNBC host Katie Phang filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia asking the court to compel acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to release the entire Jeffrey Epstein files.

According to Phang, a former prosecutor turned legal analyst at MSNBC (now MS NOW) the DOJ has illegally withheld files and has redacted documents that have been released, denying journalists the ability to delve more deeply into the disgraced felon's contacts and financial ties.

First Lady Melania Trump erupted at comedian Jimmy Kimmel Monday for spreading what she called “hate” – and was promptly told by one prominent political commentator to “walk across the hall” and “start” her crusade against “hate” by speaking with her husband, President Donald Trump.

Last week, Kimmel jokingly referred to Mrs. Trump as an “expectant widow,” a clip of which resurfaced in the wake of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting on Saturday, the suspect of which reportedly penned a manifesto that named Trump as a target.

First Lady Melania Trump demanded Monday that ABC “take a stand” by axing comedian Jimmy Kimmel over what she described as his “hateful and violent rhetoric,” calling the comedian a “coward” that engages in “atrocious behavior.”

Last week on his show “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the comedian joked that Mrs. Trump “had the glow of an ‘expectant widow,’” Yahoo Entertainment reported Monday. A clip of Kimmel’s remarks resurfaced in the wake of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting on Saturday, prompting Mrs. Trump to issue her demand to the network that airs Kimmel’s program.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth might not be feeling comfortable about his future after a Republican senator publicly broke ranks and said that there is growing discomfort in Congress with Hegseth's job performance.

In an interview with The Hill, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), whose threat to halt the confirmation of Donald Trump’s pick, Kevin Warsh, to head the Federal Reserve was a contributing factor leading to the DOJ to drop an investigation of current chair Jerome Powell, now seems to be turning his focus to Hegseth, a former Fox News personality.

In a nearly 3,000-word bombshell report, veteran journalist Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez recently uncovered the company that appears to have constructed Jeffrey Epstein's sprawling New Mexico property, the implications of which, Valdes-Rodriguez wrote, were “terrifying” and made “it hard to sleep.”

Valdes-Rodriguez has uncovered several revelations as it relates to Epstein, largely revolving around his activity in New Mexico, including that his New Mexico property known as Zorro Ranch may have been used to surveil two U.S. nuclear weapons labs, and that the former chief federal prosecutor for the state had previously undisclosed ties to the disgraced financier.

Followers of Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who contributed mightily to Donald Trump’s reelection in 2024, are fuming that the administration is blowing off their concerns as a closely-watched case heads to the Supreme Court on Monday.

According to CNBC reporting, the conservative-leaning court will hear arguments Monday to decide whether federal law preempts state-level lawsuits alleging glyphosate, the chemical in Bayer's herbicide Roundup, causes cancer. Simultaneously, the Republican-majority U.S. House is expected to take up a massive agricultural policy measure that includes new protections for the chemical.

Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) activists feel completely blindsided, according to CNBC, which is reporting the health movement that propelled RFK Jr. to influence within the administration expected Trump to challenge corporate agriculture and chemical industry protection — not become Bayer's champion.

Just months ago, Trump signed an executive order to boost the domestic production of glyphosate-based herbicides, forcing Kennedy himself to intervene and attempt damage control with his base.

Kelly Ryerson, a prominent MAHA advocate known as "the Glyphosate Girl," expressed the depth of her extreme dismay, telling CNBC, "It has been a really, really rough few months because we have an attack coming from the executive branch, the judicial branch and over in Congress."

"The combination of the executive order and going to bat for Bayer at the Supreme Court are really inexcusable," Ryerson continued. "And I think it showed a deep disconnect between what the administration thinks that MAHA cares about and what is actually true."

House Republicans are dismissing MAHA as emotional rather than principled. House Agriculture Chair G.T. Thompson (R-PA), leading the farm bill, attacked the movement as "emotional-driven" and claimed the bill merely ensures "labeling is done in a way with the highest level of science."

Thompson asserted that states retain the ability to alter labels through the EPA process, explaining, "If a state wants to have additional provisions for labeling, they only have to go through the EPA to make that happen, it will be on the label."

That infuriated Ryerson even more.
