As the Supreme Court considers the Trump administration’s attempt to eliminate birthright citizenship – enshrined in 1868 through the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution – President Donald Trump took to social media Monday to lash out at “dumb judges and justices” who would oppose such efforts, all while giving his followers a brief history lesson.

“Birthright Citizenship is not about rich people from China, and the rest of the World, who want their children, and hundreds of thousands more, FOR PAY, to ridiculously become citizens of the United States of America,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

The Trump administration is relying on legal arguments developed by Confederate officers and 19th-century xenophobes to challenge birthright citizenship in a Supreme Court case expected to be decided by summer, drawing criticism from legal scholars who say the administration is recycling deeply racist historical precedents.

The administration's Supreme Court brief cites Alexander Porter Morse, a Confederate officer and Louisiana attorney who advocated for legalized segregation in the 1896 case that established the "separate but equal" doctrine that propped up Jim Crow laws, reported the Washington Post.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) provided a shocking explanation Sunday for why he believes that an accountant for Jeffrey Epstein walked back their claim they gave to lawmakers during their recent testimony before a House committee.

Earlier this month, Richard Kahn, one of Epstein’s former accountants, testified before the House Oversight Committee as part of the panel’s ongoing probe into Epstein and potential co-conspirators.

President Donald Trump made several telling remarks Sunday in an interview with the Financial Times, revealing some of his administration’s potential war plans as it relates to Iran.

“To be honest with you, my favorite thing is to take the oil in Iran but some stupid people back in the US say: ‘why are you doing that?’ But they’re stupid people,” Trump told the Financial Times, the outlet reported.

MS NOW host Catherine Rampell took a sharp jab at President Donald Trump on Sunday for skipping the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) convention for the first time in nearly a decade, suggesting he did so to avoid embarrassing optics tied to his “obsession” with crowd sizes.

“If we know anything about Donald Trump, it is his obsession with a handful of fairly specific things: gold plating, the Village People, and of course, crowd sizes. So you can only imagine how he must feel seeing this split screen,” Rampell said on MS NOW’s “The Weekend Primetime,” queuing up a split-screen video of the massive No Kings rallies and the CPAC event in Texas.

President Donald Trump criticized Republican Senate leadership Sunday for having supported a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) without funding for two key immigration enforcement agencies, calling their actions “a shame.”

“It's a shame. They should really just go to a filibuster, they should terminate the filibuster and they should vote, that's what I think,” Trump told a reporter aboard Air Force One on Sunday.

President Donald Trump has faced repeated accusations of market manipulation amid his administration’s ongoing war against Iran, but on Sunday, a new critic emerged, and one whose observations stunned onlookers.

Trump has made a number of well-timed social media posts regarding updates on the Iran war that have significantly shifted markets. Coupled with reports of "mysterious trading patterns,” critics have increasingly alleged Trump to be “using the war” to enrich his inner circle.

During an appearance on Fox News on Sunday, far-right Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) accused Democrats of conspiring to put the lives of ICE agents’ families at risk as part of their strategy to dial back funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

Speaking with host Shannon Bream about the competing funding bills that have Republicans in the House and the Senate at each other's throats, the Arkansas Republican tried to shift the blame to Democrats.

Rep. Nancy Mace’s attempt on CNN to gloss over a Senate funding bill aimed at getting most of the Department of Homeland Security paid ended badly when one of her Democratic colleagues explained it contained far more than she stated.

The South Carolina Republican was sitting on a “State of the Union” panel with host Jake Tapper and Rep. Suhas Subramanyam (D-VA) when the CNN host asked her about the competing funding bills between the House and the Senate.
