New York Times journalist Maggie Haberman taunted former President Donald Trump Friday over the controversial biopic he's taking legal action to kill.

Haberman shared on X Friday an exclusive Variety article revealing Trump sent a cease and desist letter to stop the release and sale of "The Apprentice," a movie about the president's early days.

Conservative Charlie Sykes joined the chorus of voices furious over Donald Trump trying to turn the Russian arrest of a Wall Street Journal reporter into a political issue that he said could actually hurt the situation.

Evan Gershkovich was arrested in Russia in March 2023 on accusations that he was a U.S. spy. On Thursday, Trump claimed he will be released immediately if he is elected in November.

CNN's Brianna Keilar put Louisiana state Sen. Thomas Pressly on the defensive Friday during an interview in which she grilled him about his state's controversial, first-in-the-nation bill that's likely to criminalize the possession of mifepristone and misoprostol, two medications commonly used for nonsurgical abortions, without a prescription for a non-abortion purpose.

Louisiana already has a total ban on abortion, and the medication has a variety of other important uses beyond abortion — from treating ulcers to assisting women in labor. Pressly, who introduced the legislation that passed the Senate and is expected to be signed by the governor, kept invoking the case of his sister, whose abusive ex-husband went to prison for repeatedly spiking her drinks with the medications to try to end her pregnancy without her consent.

Former President Donald Trump repeated his oft-heard rant against his “sham” criminal trial Friday — but added an outrageously exaggerated claim.

Trump had his mind on the resumption of the hush money case as he took to Truth Social when he prepared for the Memorial Day Weekend.

Senate Democrats Friday summoned Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts to explain to them how he plans to address reports of a "Stop the Steal' symbol raised outside Justice Samual Alito's family home.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) demanded a meeting with the chief justice to make their case that Alito should be recused from cases involving the 2020 presidential election and the U.S. Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has drawn vehement criticism from many Democrats — as well as from some Never Trump conservatives — following New York Times reports on two flags that were seen outside of properties he owns — an upside-down American flag outside of his home in Alexandria, Virginia and an "Appeal to Heaven" flag that was seen outside Alito's New Jersey Shore beach house two years later.

Both have been used by Trump supporters to symbolize an election they claim was stolen from Trump.

In a deep dive into what the future holds for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) now that she has hit a major bump in the road after she failed attempt to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), Republicans in Georgia wonder if she may be stuck where she is, with a run for governor or a U.S. Senate seat out of her reach.

According to a report from USA Today, Greene blew off questions about her political future when asked what is next, telling USA Today's Ken Tran and Melissa Cruz, "Oh my goodness, what is today? Wednesday? We’re on Wednesday in May of 2024, let’s do Wednesday. Let’s try to at least maybe pass a budget that doesn’t fund Biden’s open borders. Maybe we can defund Jack Smith.”

A lifelong Republican who was attacked by Donald Trump supporters at the Jan. 6 insurrection doesn't understand how other members of his party can justify the U.S. Capitol riot.

Prince George’s County Cpl. Scott Ainsworth testified at the trial of Jesse James Rumson, the so-called "Sedition Panda," about his violent assault by Trump supporters trying to stop the certification of President Joe Biden's election win, and he told the court that he still hasn't come to grips with being attacked by his fellow Republicans, reported NBC News.

Donald Trump's alleged co-conspirator, Walt Nauta had a hearing on Thursday where he alleged "selective" and "vindictive" prosecution from "Joe Biden's Justice Department."

While Nauta's own lawyer acknowledged that there is no real "selective" and "vindictive" prosecution, the hearing presented the opportunity for more commentary from Judge Aileen Cannon that gives further indications about how the trial may unfold.

A federal judge made the rare decision Friday to speak out against a Supreme Court Justice whose actions outside the nation's highest court he characterized as "improper" and "dumb."

Judge Michael Ponsor, appointed to a Massachusetts federal court district by former President Bill Clinton, subjected Justice Sam Alito to harsh criticism over the upside-down flag reported to have flown outside his family home.

A New York City Council member is on a one-man crusade to prove to former President Donald Trump's supporters their candidate had a very small rally.

Brooklyn City Council Member Justin Brannan, a Democrat, faced off against MAGA supporters Friday morning after he posted an aerial-view photo of Trump's Bronx rally Thursday night that throws into question the former president's 25,000-attendees claim.

A pair of former Bernie Sanders backers are using outrage over the Gaza war to promote their incoherent "MAGA communism" ideology, and it's winning over influential fans like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones.

The movement's two most prominent spokesmen, Haz Al-Din, 27, and Jackson Hinkle, 24, have been repeatedly kicked off social media platforms for spreading disinformation, mainly about Gaza and Ukraine, and they've been mocked as pseudo-intellectual grifters who try to piggyback off other political communities that organize online, reported The Guardian.

Citing the nearly half billion dollars spent investigating claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, one lawyer suggested legislation aimed at making candidates bear the expenses of inquiries and other costs by making a deposit to be used to fund investigating their claims.

With Donald Trump and his key allies in Congress already making rumblings that they may not accept the results of the 2024 presidential election if the ex-president loses again, attorney Burton D. Sheppard suggested state legislatures make them put up or shut up.
