The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has filed what legal analysts are calling a blistering Supreme Court brief urging the justices to strike down President Donald Trump’s executive order abolishing birthright citizenship for many immigrants’ children.

The conference – which frequently backs conservative positions at the high court – delivered what Slate described as a “searing, full-throated rebuke” of the president’s order.

Radiohead issued a statement on Friday demanding that the Department of Homeland Security remove their song "Let Down" (1997) from an ICE promotional video. The track was used without permission or rights. The band called out DHS, "amateurs in control of the ICE social media account," stating how the song, "means a lot to us and other people" and cannot be appropriated without opposition. The incident reflects a broader pattern of Republican misuse of musicians' work. Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood previously demanded the removal of his "Phantom Thread" composition from the Melania Trump documentary, with producer Marc Beckman claiming other rock artists were eager to participate but unable to name examples. Kenny Loggins similarly objected to unauthorized use of "Danger Zone." Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the U.S.A.", a critique of the Vietnam War, has been repeatedly misappropriated by Republicans for decades as well.

A former Trump administration AI policy adviser is blasting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over what he calls a “psychotic power grab” amid an escalating dispute between the Pentagon and artificial intelligence firm Anthropic.

The clash intensified after President Donald Trump insisted on his Truth Social platform Friday that the firm will no longer be allowed to do business with the federal government, and blasted it as a “Radical Left AI company.” The company has reportedly resisted Pentagon demands to remove safeguards preventing its AI models from approving the use of deadly force without human input.

President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem have repeatedly bragged that the Trump administration is allowing "zero" unauthorized immigrants to cross the border into the United States. But a new scoop from the conservative Washington Examiner reveals that's not true — and some immigrants are indeed being released into the country after being apprehended.

"Although the number of border crossers let into the interior of the country is significantly smaller than it was during the Biden administration, that some illegal immigrants have been released into the U.S. at all appears to contradict President Donald Trump’s claim during the State of the Union address, as well as numerous statements by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, that no one had been let in since early last summer," reported Anna Giaritelli.

Former Justice Department attorney Kim Wehle cautioned against complacency following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling against Trump's tariffs, arguing the decision does not signal a meaningful check on presidential power expansion. While the Court struck down the tariffs in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, Wehle warned the ruling represents "a check—but not a constitutional reset." She cited three concerns: the decision was not unanimous, it benefited "the very rich," and the Court has yet to meaningfully constrain Trump's authority. Wehle emphasized that the rule of law depends on sustained judicial fidelity to principle, not isolated opinions. She called for holding justices accountable by praising constitutional adherence and persistently criticizing betrayals of law. Wehle stressed vigilance is necessary to determine whether the majority is guided by the Constitution or politics.

Israel's ambassador to the U.S. unleashed a blistering attack on Tucker Carlson Friday, blasting the former Fox News host's rhetoric as offensive and deeply troubling.

Carlson has repeatedly suggested that Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, is pulling the strings on Trump's intense Iran pressure campaign — a claim Leiter flatly rejected.

A former Trump strategist expressed confusion Friday over House Republicans’ decision to subpoena former President Bill Clinton, questioning what lawmakers hoped to accomplish.

Appearing on Anderson Cooper 360, GOP strategist David Urban suggested the effort produced few results.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board sharply condemned President Donald Trump on Friday for ordering the federal government to blackball Anthropic, an artificial intelligence firm that had refused to relax its safety rules to let the Defense Department deploy automated surveillance and military strikes.

Trump proclaimed in a Truth Social rant earlier in the day that the "Leftwing nut job" firm, which operates the Claude AI model, was forcing the Pentagon to "obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution" and vowed that all federal contracts with the company would be phased out.

Two federal judges are raising concerns about Attorney General Pam Bondi’s use of social media to publicize a string of arrests tied to the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota.

In a recent order, U.S. Magistrate Judge Dulce Foster said Bondi’s posts on X – which included names and, in many cases, photographs of defendants shortly after their arrests – “violated a court order” sealing the cases, Politico reported Friday. The criticism came in connection with the prosecution of Nitzana Flores, who is accused of attacking two Border Patrol agents during a scuffle.

President Donald Trump erupted at Republican lawmakers on Friday over their failure to use his preferred name for the voter eligibility bill. The legislation's official name is the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act), but Trump demanded Republicans call it the "SAVE America Act," claiming the alternative name is "much more potent and descriptive." Trump posted in all caps on Truth Social: "IT'S 'SAVE AMERICA ACT,' NOT 'SAVE ACT.' REPUBLICANS MUST START USING THE TERM." The bill requires voters to provide proof of citizenship to register, a requirement that already exists legally. Critics warn the measure could significantly depress voter turnout, particularly affecting the 52 percent of registered voters without unexpired passports and the 11 percent without access to birth certificates.

A federal judge in Minnesota has blocked President Donald Trump's plan to arrest thousands of legal refugees for questioning and re-evaluation, calling the plan a "dystopian nightmare."

The order was first reported by Chris Geidner, who runs the Law Dork blog.

Legendary Democratic strategist James Carville caused a stir Friday when he acted out a wild political fantasy that ended in sweeping Republican defeats and President Donald Trump "throwing feces at the wall" in the Lincoln Bedroom.

The veteran operative pretended to take over an anchor's desk, transforming himself into a one-man election-night extravaganza complete with imaginary correspondents reporting from battleground states.

Former President Bill Clinton denied having any knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes and pushed back on allegations tied to a widely circulated image of him in a jacuzzi during a historic deposition before the House Oversight Committee.

Under more than six hours of questioning, Clinton said he “had no idea” about Epstein’s criminal activity during what he described as their “brief acquaintance,” according to CNN.
