A federal judge is considering holding Trump administration officials in contempt of court after the Department of Homeland Security posted a press release accusing her of knowingly releasing a murder suspect — a claim the Justice Department's own attorney admitted in open court was false.

U.S. District Judge Melissa DuBose, a Biden appointee based in Rhode Island, said Monday the "patently false” April 30 DHS press release headlined "Activist Biden Judge Releases Violent Criminal Illegal Alien Wanted for Murder" put her personal safety at risk and was still on the government's website as of Monday's hearing. DHS has yet to acknowledge the error.

One of President Donald Trump's nominees for a federal court seat in Texas sparked outrage after he refused to answer a basic legal question during a recent hearing.

Sen Chris Coons (D-DE) asked John George Edward Marck, whom Trump nominated last month for U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Texas, about what the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution says. Marck, however, did not answer the question and instead sat silently while another witness at the hearing did.

An event organized by a Muslim group at a Texas water park sparked a MAGA meltdown on Monday after an advertisement for the event surfaced on social media.

Sarah Gonzales, host of the right-wing show "Sarah Gonzales Unfiltered" on BlazeTV, posted an advertisement on X of the event, called "Epic Eid," which included a description claiming it was a "Muslim-only event." The poster on the event organizer's website says the event is "modest dress only," as it is meant to celebrate the Muslim holiday of Eid, which marks the end of Ramadan.

Right-wing influencers Laura Loomer and Candace Owens took turns releasing details about each other's personal lives over a squabble about the killing of Charlie Kirk.

After Owens spent weeks publishing conspiracy theories about Kirk's death, Loomer took revenge by publishing alleged details about Owens' houses and cars.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche may be the Trump administration's most dangerous employee in the Department of Justice, but not for reasons most people expect, according to one expert.

Barbara McQuade, an author and former U.S. Attorney in Michigan, told Slate's Dahlia Lithwick on a new episode of the "Amicus" podcast that Blanche seems to have certain skills that his predecessor, Pam Bondi, does not. She pointed to Blanche's experience in the federal courts and his time at big law firms, where he learned skills that could help move malicious prosecutions against former FBI Director James Comey through the system.

A former attorney for President Donald Trump claimed during her radio show last week that religious freedom only applies to Christians in America, according to a new report.

Jenna Ellis, who defended Trump during his attempts to overturn the 2020 general election, claimed on her show, "Jenna Ellis In The Morning," that America's freedom of religion protections are intended to allow Christians to "evangelize" their faith, Right Wing Watch reported. She also called on Christians to be "more authoritative" in the public square.

President Donald Trump has long framed his nationwide purge of immigrants as a policy to protect working Americans, who in his formulation have spent decades seeing their jobs go instead to foreigners and noncitizens while their communities struggle.

But a newly revealed working paper for the National Bureau of Economic Research, authored by Elizabeth Cox and Chloe N. East and flagged by New York Times economics reporter Lydia DePillis, suggests that not only has the mass deportation of immigrants not improved job prospects for American-born workers, it might actually be making them worse off.

The Secret Service reportedly locked down the White House press office on Monday after gunshots were fired nearby.

As President Donald Trump was preparing to speak at a small-business summit, NewsNation correspondent Libby Dean said the Secret Service had moved to lock down the compound.

The alleged gunman charged in the storming of the White House Correspondents' Dinner last week may have just put President Donald Trump's Justice Department in an awkward position, according to a new legal analysis in MS NOW.

If the Cole Allen assassination case goes to trial, prosecutors working for Trump's DOJ may find themselves in the uncomfortable position of reading accusations that the president is a "pedophile, rapist, and traitor" out loud to a jury to prove Allen intended to kill him, legal analyst Jordan Rubin laid out this week

President Donald Trump threw a bipartisan bill on housing affordability into turmoil in recent weeks — backing off after issuing an endorsement, and expressing concerns with a major provision of the bill that helped unify lawmakers in favor of it.

According to Politico, "Trump was on the verge of putting out a social media post taking issue with the major housing affordability package the Senate approved this year, according to two people with knowledge of the matter who were granted anonymity to discuss private conversations. The president doesn’t support language in the bill that would require large institutional investors to sell single-family homes that are built as long-term rentals after seven years, the people said."

Barack Obama has faced criticism from fellow Democrats over his perceived lack of activism during the Donald Trump political era, but he's privately "frustrated" that he can't do more.

The New Yorker took a deep dive into the life of the 64-year-old former president after he left the White House nearly a decade ago, and one of his confidants told the magazine that Obama is certain he could have beaten Trump in a one-on-one election.

By announcing a new naval operation to provide security for vessels to transit the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump had “effectively” admitted that his naval blockade of the critical shipping waterway was a failure, Bloomberg columnist Javier Blas argued on Monday.

“The push to re-open the Strait of Hormuz today, with two US warships crossing it and two US-flagged merchant vessels, signals the White House realizes it cannot keep waiting for the blockade to force Iran into the negotiation table,” Blas wrote in a social media post on X.
