A MAGA Republican was brutally mocked on Sunday after she told "disgusting lies" about President Donald Trump's scheme to punish a prominent nonprofit.

Last week, the Trump Department of Justice secured an indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, alleging the nonprofit committed 11 counts of wire and bank fraud for its work to infiltrate and disrupt right-wing extremist groups. The indictment alleges that the SPLC did not tell its donor about the way it used their money, a claim that the nonprofit has forcibly denied.

President Donald Trump's sleep schedule is truly abnormal, and he seems to be becoming more erratic because of it, according to a new analysis.

The Daily Beast reported on Sunday that Trump was up at all hours of the night posting on Truth Social on at least 80% of the nights in April. There were only five days in April when the president didn't post between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m., according to the report, which raises concerns about Trump's brain health and his increasingly erratic behavior.

President Donald Trump stunned political analysts and observers on Sunday after he made a "bonkers" claim about one of his friends who was hospitalized.

Rudy Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City and a close ally of Trump's, was hospitalized in Florida on Sunday, according to a report by the New York Times. It remains unclear why Giuliani was admitted to the hospital, but a spokesperson for the former mayor said he is in "critical but stable" condition.

President Donald Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement has hired a contractor who was allegedly involved in torturing inmates at Guantanamo Bay, and news of the hire left a legal expert aghast on Sunday.

The Guardian reported that ICE has hired MVM Inc, a U.S.-based contractor, to assist in tracking down immigrant children who are in the country. A document reviewed by the outlet reveals that the contractor's job is to "confirm the children’s location, school enrollment and overall wellness, including checking for signs of abuse or trafficking."

President Donald Trump's latest "grouchy" attack on a top Democrat sparked outrage on social media on Sunday.

Trump posted on Truth Social that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries needs to be "impeached" over his criticisms of the Supreme Court, comparing it to the phone call that Trump had with Ukrainian officials in 2019 that got Trump impeached. Trump described Jeffries as "Low IQ," an attack he's used on other Democrats like Reps. Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

President Donald Trump called on Republicans to impeach House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) on Sunday after Jeffries criticized the Supreme Court.

Trump's comments followed a statement Jeffries released last week in which he described the Supreme Court as "illegitimate" after its decision in Louisiana v. Callais. The case struck down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits racial gerrymandering. Experts have warned that the decision could disenfranchise millions of voters across the nation.

A newly reported failure of the Trump administration’s ability to handle sensitive private information in the social programs it is tasked with operating triggered a fresh wave of anger over the weekend after it was revealed that healthcare providers’ Social Security numbers were made public as part of a faulty Medicare portal rollout.

The Washington Post discovered the compromised database and alerted the administration last week, before publishing a story about it on Friday, after efforts had been made to protect the sensitive information from further compromise. According to the Post:

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche appeared to inadvertently contradict President Donald Trump during a "cutesy" moment of his Sunday morning interview on NBC News.

During the segment, Blanche was asked about the Department of Justice's indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. He claimed that the previous attempt to indict Comey, led by former U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, was dismissed only because of a "technicality" and was not a statement by the court about the substance of the charges against Comey.

President Donald Trump faced fresh market manipulation accusations on Sunday after he said the U.S. would guide "neutral and innocent" ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that "countries from all over the world" have asked him to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway that accounts for 20% of the world's energy trade. The waterway has been shut down since late February, when the war in Iran began, and the Iranian regime has reportedly attacked merchant ships from the U.K. and other countries for trying to pass through.

Louisiana's MAGA Gov. Jeff Landry, a close ally of President Donald Trump's, just sent a chilling message with his latest "corrupt" order, according to one expert.

Marc Elias, a voting rights attorney, discussed Landry's recent State of Emergency declaration, signed last week, on a new episode of "Democracy Watch" with progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen on Sunday. Landry's order canceled the upcoming congressional election in his state as Louisiana lawmakers work to pass a new election map. The order followed the Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais, which found that states can politically gerrymander their maps, even if it effectively creates a racial gerrymander that was once prohibited under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the U.S. will guide the ships of "neutral and innocent bystanders" out of the Strait of Hormuz as negotiations to end the war in Iran continue.

The announcement came at a time when negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are at a rocky point. Trump recently rejected two peace plans offered by the Iranians because they asked him to delay talks about the country's nuclear capabilities in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz entirely.

A civil rights icon said on Sunday that the Supreme Court's recent "seismic shock" echoes back to a time when the U.S. government used its power to prevent Black people from being able to vote.

Press Robinson, 88, who was the first member of his family to vote and the first Black member of the Baton Rouge school board, told the Washington Post recently that the Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais is likely to undo decades of progress made to guarantee communities of color the right to vote. He added that the efforts are unlikely to be contained in Louisiana, and that it shows discrimination is not yet gone from American life.
