A federal judge appeared to lose her patience after President Donald Trump's administration did not follow an order to return a slavery exhibit to a Philadelphia museum.

In her order on Monday, Judge Cynthia Rufe invoked George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984" to order the return of a slavery exhibit to the museum on the site of former President George Washington's home in Philadelphia.

Using the Thursday arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on charges of misconduct in public office, most likely over his involvement with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, MS NOW personality Mika Brzezinski did not hesitate to bring up the many failures of Attorney General Pam Bondi at a time when the White House would like the scandal to go away.

Earlier, with an assist from co-host Joe Scarborough, accusing the Donald Trump appointee of a cover-up, since the Department of Justice was handed the notorious Epstein files months ago, “Morning Joe’s” Brzezinski claimed the focus on the president has only increased after Bondi's House Judiciary Committee hearing meltdown a week ago.

President Donald Trump opened his first Board of Peace meeting by admitting he expected to be personally paid.

Speaking on Thursday from the recently-named Donald J. Trump U.S. Institute of Peace, the president insisted that world leaders, such as Pope Leo XIII, would eventually accept his invitation to join the group.

CBS News' decision to pressure Stephen Colbert against airing his interview with Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is something more insidious than direct censorship, warned analyst Terry Moran in a long-form post to X on Thursday — rather, it's the elite corporate world rolling over to do the government's bidding.

The move came after President Donald Trump's Federal Communications Commission began to warn they would take a harder line on enforcing the "equal time rule" against late-night talk show hosts, a move experts have warned is an effort to make it harder for Democrats to get public interviews on broadcast TV.

An amused Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) taunted Donald Trump on Thursday morning for running scared of him by singling him and Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD) out for exclusion from a black-tie dinner on Saturday, where governors from both sides of the aisle are being welcomed with open arms.

The nation’s governors are headed to Washington, DC, this weekend for the National Governors Association’s (NGA) winter meeting and the White House will be holding a soirée for them — with the exception of Polis and Moore.

In a triumph of family over politics, Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE), a loyal ally of President Donald Trump in the Senate, is endorsing his wife for a key state education special election — even though she's a Democrat.

Susanne Shore, the former first lady of Nebraska when Ricketts served as governor, is running for the Omaha-based district of the University of Nebraska Board of Regents, which oversees the largest public university system in the state.

A British royal watcher explained the significance of the royal family's reaction to the arrest of the former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Police arrested Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his remaining royal titles last year, on suspicion of misconduct in public office, likely related to his longtime friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and British TV broadcaster Bidisha Mamata told "CNN This Morning" that the ex-prince's family has seemingly cut off all remaining ties to him.
