'Gutter trash': Trump fans revolt after ex-president endorses 'disgraceful' Lauren Boebert

Donald Trump's own fans stood up to the ex-president on Friday, voicing their disapproval when he endorsed a woman known for appearing to perform adult acts during a Beetlejuice musical.

Trump before the weekend gave a full-throated endorsement to Lauren Boebert, who has been criticized for her frequent scandals, including being caught on a security camera engaging in X-rated activities during a musical theater production.

'We have to stop it a second time': Trump accused of invoking Jan 6. attack in interview

Donald Trump claims he was robbed of a second term back in 2020 and appears to want to go on the offensive to prevent a sequel.

"I had 63 million [votes]," he said in an interview snippet with his former press secretary Sean Spicer on "The Sean Spicer Show." "And I was told if I get 63 million we win easily... But when they rig and cheat, you know, there's not a lot you can do about that other than you have to stop it."

Judge Chutkan may have creative way to get a 'trial' on the books before election: expert

While the nation sweats out a Supreme Court decision as to whether or not Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution — U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Tanya Chutkan could still hold hearings or "mini trials" ahead of the November 5 election.

"It's going to be tough if there's a test to get that trial," said CNN legal expert Norm Eisen during a panel appearance on "The Situation Room."

Ted Cruz accuses Biden of breaking law with 'highly politicized' infrastructure signs

Sen. Ted Cruz is accusing President Joe Biden of mixing taxpayer dollars in his campaign maneuvers.

“I write to refer this to you for investigation as a possible violation of the Hatch Act, federal law that broadly prohibits using taxpayer dollars for campaign activity,” reads a letter Cruz submitted on Thursday to Hampton Dellinger, head of the Office of Special Counsel, according to POLITICO. “Congress, not President Biden, wrote [the infrastructure law], and it did not do so to aid the President’s reelection campaign.”

Judge Cannon's latest hearing has 'echoes' of last time she was reversed on appeal: expert

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is straying dangerously close to the old pro-Trump tactics that got her reprimanded by a higher court, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner told MSNBC's Alicia Menendez on Friday evening.

This comes as Cannon held the first part of a hearing on whether special counsel Jack Smith was illegally appointed to run the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, a motion filed by former President Donald Trump's team that, as far as Kirschner is concerned, any reasonable judge would have thrown out long ago.

Minnesota MAGA candidate lashes out after mockery for support of Ten Commandments law

Minnesota Republican Senate candidate Royce White got in yet another juvenile social media battle on Friday evening, after being mocked for his support of the controversial new Louisiana legislation requiring the Ten Commandments be posted in all state-funded classrooms.

White, a former basketball star and mixed martial artist, has picked several similar arguments online, including one where he outright challenged one critic to a fight, and another in which he mocked a critic's use of pronouns in his social media bio.

'Pray about it and call me': Sex abuse accuser demanded payment from Pro-Trump pastor

The woman who accused a pro-Donald Trump megachurch pastor of sexually abusing her when she was 12 — which he later admitted — reportedly demanded payment from him in an unflinching email: "Pray about it and call me.”

Accuser Cindy Clemishire came forward last week with sexual abuse allegations against pastor Robert Morris of Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas. Clemishire said Morris molested her for years beginning when she was 12 at her Oklahoma home in 1982.

Prosecutor puts Supreme Court on notice over Steve Bannon's 'garbage' legal ploy

Longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon is turning to the Supreme Court as his last resort with an appeal to stay out of prison — but there is no reason the justices should pay him the slightest heed, Palm Beach County attorney Dave Aronberg told MSNBC's Joy Reid on Friday evening.

Bannon, who was ordered by a lower court judge to begin serving his four-month sentence for contempt of Congress at the Connecticut federal facility that helped inspire the Netflix series, "Orange Is the New Black," has already tried to appeal to other courts, with no success.

Jack Smith adds more ammunition to his gag order request in Trump's documents case

Special counsel Jack Smith added a new piece of evidence to his motion to impose a gag order on former President Donald Trump in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.

Specifically, according to analyst Allison Gill, better known as Mueller, she wrote, he "has added the June 11 threat against an FBI agent by a trump [sic] supporter to his motion to modify Trump’s bail conditions in the Mar a Lago case. This is in response to Trump asserting falsely that Biden and the FBI were trying to assassinate him during the search of Mar a Lago."

Philadelphians greet Trump with 'Your Nominee Is A Convicted Felon' billboard before rally

When MAGA country descends on Philadelphia this weekend, they will be greeted by at least one unflattering billboard: a composite image of Donald Trump wearing an orange jumpsuit next to the message, "YOUR NOMINEE IS A CONVICTED FELON."

A video of the unwelcoming signage was posted by Harry Sisson, a Gen Z influencer and activist.

Experts reveal surprising beneficiary of Supreme Court's gun violence decision

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday that protective orders can keep guns out of the hands of people accused of domestic violence, and at least one expert feels that could help a major figure in a separate case — Hunter Biden.

That's according to Eric Ruben, a professor at SMU's Dedman School of Law and a fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice, and Peter Tilem, a criminal defense lawyer and former Manhattan gun prosecutor, who both spoke to Politico for a story published on Friday.

Supreme Court's right-wingers reportedly keep taking cases based on 'outright deceptions'

The far-right majority on the Supreme Court is increasingly taking up cases where the plaintiffs aren't even dealing in basic fact, wrote Moira Donegan for The Guardian — in some cases, even engaging in "outright deceptions."

One of the most prominent recent examples, she noted, is United States v. Moore, the case where the court just decided 7-2 against a pair of investors who were trying to get a tax on overseas investments thrown out.

'Check the flagpole': Speculation swirls about Samuel Alito's absence in Supreme Court

For the second day in a row, Justice Samuel Alito hasn't been at the U.S. Supreme Court as judges read rulings on the final cases that remain to be decided in June.

The absence comes a little over a week after Alito and his wife were exposed for a conversation he had with a liberal activist. Both individuals agreed that the country must return to "Godliness" and that the "other side" is going to "win." According to Justice Alito, winning is essential "because there are differences on fundamental things that really can’t be compromised. They really can’t be compromised."
