President Donald Trump erupted Saturday in a 720-plus-word social media post over a judge’s ruling ordering him to remove his name from the Kennedy Center and halt a renovation project, a rant that culminated with the president demanding the judge be criminally charged.

U.S. District Judge Casey Cooper recently ruled that Trump’s Kennedy Center renovations were unlawful, citing Congress’ authority to rename the iconic performing arts center. In his lengthy social media post, Trump attacked Cooper’s wife – Amy Jeffress, former Justice Department prosecutor under the Clinton administration and former President Joe Biden’s personal attorney – as a “radical left Democrat,” and accused Cooper of having a “conflict of interest” for not "revealing" his wife’s work history.

On Saturday morning, CNN host Abby Phillip was forced to call out a New York Post journalist who went on an extended rant attacking E. Jean Carroll while justifying a possible DOJ investigation of the Donald Trump adversary.

On “Table for Five,” the conversation moved from Trump’s “lawfare” slush fund, to the accusations from the Trump administration that Carroll might have perjured herself during one of her winning lawsuits filed against the president.

The “Great American State Fair” – a multi-day festival organized by the President Donald Trump-linked group Freedom 250 – has seen a mass exodus of performers bail on the event after they learned of its ties to the president, and the Trump administration is scrambling to find acts to replace them, insiders told Zeteo in its report Saturday.

“We can’t just have Kid Rock every day [of the state fair],” a Trump appointee told Zeteo, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “It’s a little f------ embarrassing when you can’t hold on to Bret Michaels… But we’re confident we’ll get a good line-up.”

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi's attempt to deflect responsibility for the Justice Department's mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein files has been soundly rejected by a former DOJ official, who emphasized that Bondi was a documented participant in the obstruction from day one — not a passive bystander.

In a column for MS NOW, former director of the Justice Department's Office of Public Affairs Anthony Coley dismantled Bondi's Friday testimony before the House Oversight Committee, where she attempted to shift blame to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel.

A Republican House representative from New Jersey has been absent from Congress for more than 75 days, and with their seat rated as among the most competitive for this year’s midterm elections, party leaders are growing increasingly concerned, Time reported Friday.

That lawmaker is Rep. Tom Kean (R-NJ), who has said that his extended absence was due to a “personal medical issue,” without providing further detail. Kean’s own neighbors haven’t seen him and that his home had been “dark for a number of weeks,” Time reported, citing a report from NOTUS.

Reacting to an MS NOW report that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been counseling panicky staffers who want Donald Trump to get back to issues that concern voters because of his cratering approval numbers, “The Weekend” co-host Jonathan Capehart claimed the trusted presidential advisor is fighting a losing battle.

According to the report, Wiles tried to assuage concerns and advised them to “let Trump be Trump.”

The Trump administration revealed earlier this year that plans were underway to establish a habitable base on the moon by the end of President Donald Trump’s second term, but a “devastating” mishap will “now almost surely” delay the mission beyond the president’s first term, Politico reported.

That mishap was the explosion of a Blue Origin rocket at Cape Canaveral in Florida, “one of the rockets NASA was relying on to get to the moon exploded,” per Politico’s Friday report.

Vice President JD Vance remains on shaky ground as the heir to Donald Trump’s MAGA kingdom, with the president continually polling anyone within earshot about what they think of his veep and White House insiders counseling the veep on how he conducts himself.

According to the New York Times, Trump has made a habit of conducting what amounts to running focus groups on Vance's performance, comparing him unfavorably to his own achievements and reminding allies that Vance "has never won a tough race without his help."

The White House released a memo late Friday regarding President Donald Trump’s most recent visit to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and one key detail in the report stood out among onlookers.

According to The Washington Post, the president’s height was listed at 6’3, and his weight, 238 pounds, 14 pounds higher than his health exam in 2025. While the president’s height has been in dispute, with some critics suggesting Trump to be shorter, it was Trump’s weight that drew attention among onlookers.

With the current Supreme Court term coming to an end soon, there is growing speculation that 76-year-old Justice Sam Alito may step down from the seat he has held for 20 years, and that is leading to some under-the-radar maneuvering.

According to the Washington Post, Alito is widely considered the justice most likely to step down, with observers pointing to his age, the release of his first book, and the November midterm elections as potential motivators due to Republican fears of losing control of the Senate.

President Donald Trump's $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization" slush fund is now facing jeopardy on multiple fronts, with one just pausing the fund and another reopening the Trump lawsuit against the IRS that formed the basis for it. And things could be about to get ugly for the president, former federal prosecutor Preet Bharara told MS NOW's Jen Psaki on Friday evening.

"Let's just start with Judge Williams' ruling tonight, which effectively reopens the IRS case that Trump supposedly settled, kind of pulled it out of court, I guess," said Psaki. "Give us your thoughts on how that order came to be and what it means."
