A high-profile investigative journalist received quite a shock on Sunday when she discovered her flight itinerary from a trip to Florida in July 2019 tucked in the latest batch of files related to the FBI's investigation of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Miami Herald investigative reporter Julie K. Brown posted on X on Sunday that she found her flight information in the newly released files attached to a grand jury subpoena. The trip occurred during Trump's first administration and happened about a month before Epstein was found dead in the New York Metropolitan Correctional Center.

A writer for the popular animated show South Park launched a new parody website on Sunday that turns one of President Donald Trump's latest accomplishments into a mesmerizing self-own.

Last week, reporting indicated that Toby Morton, who has written for South Park and Mad TV, previously purchased multiple domain names associated with Trump's attempted rebrand of the Kennedy Center. On Sunday, Morton launched the TrumpKennedyCenter.org website, which includes several not-so-subtle digs at the president's second administration and his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

President Donald Trump has corruptly commodified one of the most potent parts of the presidency and turned it into a product to be sold to the highest bidder, according to one lawyer.

Since taking office, Trump and his allies have turned the president's pardon power into a vehicle for self-enrichment, lawyer Mitch Jackson wrote in a new Substack essay published on Sunday. He's done so by employing a pay-for-play scheme whereby wealthy people in jail pay millions of dollars to high-profile associates of the president in an effort to purchase clemency.

Speculation has been building about whether President Donald Trump's administration has broken the law when it comes to releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, and one legal analyst on Sunday flagged key files that have continued to be withheld from the public.

Last week, the Trump administration released a new tranche of documents related to the FBI's investigation into Epstein, a disgraced financier and convicted sex criminal. The latest batch contains several emails between Trump and Epstein, as well as multiple photographs of Epstein with celebrities and politicians. However, the administration failed to release the FBI's 302 reports, which are filed whenever an agent interviews someone in a case.

A military expert revealed on Sunday that President Donald Trump is taking an "insane" approach to ending the war in Ukraine.

Trump held another round of peace talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday, where the two leaders discussed the current 20-point peace plan that is on the table. Ahead of Trump's chat with Zelenskyy, the president said he had a phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin following a night of heavy bombing by Russian forces against Ukrainian civilians.

President Donald Trump’s health was called into question Sunday after new photographs revealed additional discoloration on the president’s hands, though the president’s supporters quick to rush to his defense and insist that Trump’s health was unmatched.

Captured by professional photojournalist Andrew Caballero-Reynolds, one of the photos shows Trump with visible discoloration on both hands, whereas previously, Trump had only been seen with prominent discoloration and bruising on his right hand, something the White House said was caused by Trump “shaking hands all day, every day.”

Standing alongside Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ahead of their high-stakes meeting Sunday, President Donald Trump casually laid blame for “explosions in various parts of Russia” on Ukraine, presumably including a recent bombing in Moscow that killed two police officers and a bystander.

Standing next to Zelenskyy at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump was asked by a reporter whether he thought President Vladimir Putin was “serious” about ending the Russo-Ukrainian war given the recent Russian attacks on Ukraine.

CNN data analyst Harry Enten was left floored Sunday after new polling showed President Donald Trump’s support among independents has plummeted to staggering lows just shy of a year into his second term.

According to the new data, Trump’s net approval rating among independent voters fell by a stunning 42 points from January to December, from -1 to -43, a drop so severe that Enten compared the president to French oceanographer and filmmaker Jacques Cousteau, known for his undersea expeditions.

Georgetown University law professor Stephen Vladeck sounded the alarm this weekend over the Supreme Court and its increasing use of what legal scholars have dubbed the “shadow docket,” a process by which the court institutes rulings unsigned, and without oral arguments, explanations or written opinions.

The Supreme Court has utilized the shadow docket well over a dozen times since President Donald Trump retook the White House in January, at least 14 of which were in cases that tested the president’s power, with the court siding with Trump in the vast majority of its rulings.
