President Donald Trump took to social media Saturday to celebrate the death of Robert Mueller, the former FBI director who famously led the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

“Robert Mueller just died,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP”

President Donald Trump's decision to kick off the U.S. war against Iran last month was motivated, in part, by “pressure from outside allies,” multiple insiders told Bloomberg in its report Saturday, a revelation that sparked a fierce rebuttal from the Trump administration.

Speaking with Bloomberg on the condition of anonymity, the insiders claimed that Trump was under pressure to strike Iran from at least two individuals outside his administration: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – who’s wanted by the International Court of Justice for alleged war crimes – and Rupert Murdoch, the billionaire conservative media mogul and architect of Fox News.

President Donald Trump warned Democratic lawmakers Saturday that unless they approved funding for the Department of Homeland Security “immediately,” he would send Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to airports across the nation where they would “arrest” any undocumented migrants they encounter.

The federal government has been partially shut down since February after Democratic lawmakers refused to fund DHS in protest of the violent immigration enforcement operations carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, an agency under DHS. Democratic lawmakers demanded reforms to ICE before funding the agency, demands that Republicans rejected.

Donald Trump's relentless campaign to bully Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell into slashing interest rates faces a fundamental contradiction: the president's own economic policies and actions are creating conditions that could force the Fed to do the opposite—raise rates instead, according to the Wall Street Journal's Greg Ip.

According to Ip: "The vibe has changed."

The leadership of Stetson University College of Law, located in Gulfport, Florida, is facing the very real prospect of donations drying up in large part because of alumna Pam Bondi’s performance as Donald Trump’s attorney general.

According to a report from BayNews9, there is a growing list of law school alumni who have signed onto a letter urging the school to denounce Bondi, a 1990 graduate, or face a donor boycott.

Just six days after Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) in New York, a Bureau of Prisons “After-Actions team” swept the jail and shredded “huge amounts of paperwork,” recruiting the help of at least two inmates to dispose of the files in a dumpster, a newly unearthed FBI report suggests.

Flagged by famed Epstein reporter Julie K. Brown, the FBI report is a crisis intake form, in which an FBI official documented claims made by a federal corrections officer, who contacted the agency via phone to report misconduct. The correctional officer’s name is redacted in the report, which is dated Aug. 16, 2019, just six days after Epstein was found dead in his cell, with his death controversially ruled a suicide.

Sen. Mike Lee’s refusal to back down on pushing his Republican colleagues in the Senate to force through the SAVE America Act has them gritting their teeth and even has some wondering if he should be stripped of a committee chairmanship due to his "scorched earth" tactics.

According to reporting from Politico's Jordain Carney, Lee's aggressive, hyper-online tactics promoting elections legislation overhaul have sparked widespread private frustration among Republicans who view his strategy as self-serving, counterproductive, and potentially damaging to the party's midterm prospects.

Donald Trump's offhand remarks during a Monday press availability about Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL)—casually stating the lawmaker had received a "terminal" diagnosis and would be "dead by June"—have revived scrutiny of the president's own guarded approach to his health.

The Guardian's Victoria Bekiempis noted Saturday that Trump has consistently boasted about his physical and mental vitality while publicly mocking others' physical conditions, all while maintaining what observers describe as suspicious opacity about his own medical status.

Over the past week, Donald Trump has cycled through claiming the United States needs no assistance from allies in its Iran conflict, then requesting their support, and finally expressing rage at their refusal—a pattern that reflects an escalating personal crisis as the war continues and public approval declines.

Greg Sargent of The New Republic identifies this behavior as evidence of Trump's central "political weakness": his inability to control himself, which has trapped him in a corner regarding Iran with no path forward that serves his political interests.

The Trump administration was hit with a major discrimination lawsuit after having cancelled a $250,000 federal grant for a New York museum celebrating Black history, a move lawyers for the museum described as “overt and coded racism.”

The grant was awarded to the museum – the Underground Railroad Education Center in Albany, New York – in January of 2024, and despite Congress having already approved the funding, the Trump administration axed the grant as part of its dismantling of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.

The White House is facing sharp backlash after the U.S. Treasury authorized limited sales of Iranian oil already at sea – a move aimed at easing soaring energy prices as President Donald Trump’s war with Iran escalates.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent described the decision as a “narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea,” Bloomberg’s Javier Blas reported Friday.

Legal commentators say Chief Justice John Roberts is pushing back against President Donald Trump after warning that criticism of judges can spiral into personal attacks.

Speaking this week at Rice University in Houston, Roberts suggested that criticism of court rulings can become problematic when it shifts “from a focus on legal analysis to personalities.”

Denmark’s military drew up contingency plans to destroy key airfields in Greenland if President Donald Trump made good on threats to seize the Arctic territory, according to a report Friday in The New York Times.

Citing two European officials familiar with the discussions, the outlet reported that Danish soldiers deployed to Greenland in January, equipped with explosives, live ammunition, and blood supplies as Trump’s rhetoric against the remote island escalated. The preparations were aimed at disabling runways and slowing any potential U.S. advances, the Times reported.
