After midnight Monday — and seemingly out of nowhere — Donald Trump lashed out at the New York Times with a claim the venerable paper should be sued by people who chose to stay out of the stock market since 2016 because of the newspaper — and a former columnist's influence.

The president began by focusing his ire on Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, apparently unaware that the columnist left the Times several months ago. Krugman wrote at the time on The Contrarian, "If you check out my Substack, you will see that I have by no means run out of energy or topics to write about. But from my perspective, the nature of my relationship with the Times had degenerated to a point where I couldn’t stay."

Progressive podcast host Sam Seder mocked a MAGA darling on Sunday after she claimed Jewish students were choosing to attend schools in the Deep South over Ivy League schools in the northeast.

She claimed they were moving to these schools after campus protests erupted following the October 7 attack in Israel.

Marc Elias, lawyer and founder of Democracy Docket, said in a YouTube video on Sunday that Trump and his MAGA party now require Republican Party members to be against voting rights. That includes a broad range of views, such as opposing the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits states from racially gerrymandering their election maps, to supporting the repeal of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote.

President Donald Trump's meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin this week could have major geopolitical implications, according to one analyst.

Trump and Putin plan to meet in Alaska to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine. Ahead of the meeting, Putin announced he wanted control over a wide swath of eastern Ukraine, including land his forces do not control, according to the Institute for the Study of War. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected this offer, even though Trump has said Zelenskyy will need to give up some land to end the war.
