President Donald Trump had a Saturday night meltdown as Democratic leader in the Senate Chuck Schumer threatened to bring negotiations to approve nominees for multiple administration positions to a screeching halt.

As the Senate Republicans rush to push through Trump’s choices before heading out for a month-long summer vacation, Schumer is throwing out multiple conditions for Democratic support.

President Donald Trump called a friend within the last two days to vent about rumors that he ordered Jeffrey Epstein killed in his jail cell, his biographer said Saturday.

Michael Wolff, who wrote the Trump White House exposé “Fire and Fury,” said on the Daily Beast’s podcast that he’d spoken to the person who received the call.

President Donald Trump has handed the Democrats a weapon that they can use to destroy the Republicans — but they need to learn how it must be wielded, a Guardian columnist wrote Saturday.

The Jeffrey Epstein saga hasn’t just plunged MAGA into chaos and given Trump a potentially devastating crisis. It's also given Democrats a message that they must now refer to in every single criticism they fire at Trump between now and election day, wrote Peter Rothpletz.

The attorney for Jennifer Araoz, who says Jeffrey Epstein sexually assaulted her at age 15, challenged President Trump on CNN Saturday, inviting him to meet with her “one on one” amid speculation he may pardon Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

“Jennifer would like to invite the president to meet with survivors like her so he can understand the pain they went through and why a pardon should not be granted under any circumstances,” said Eric Lerner, Araoz’s attorney, extending the invitation for the first time to CNN’s Fredricka Whitefield.

Donald Trump openly suggested that he bases presidential pardons on personal loyalty—and complained that one person reportedly seeking freedom might be out of luck because he once hurt the now-president's feelings, a podcaster said Saturday.

In a NewsMax interview, Trump revealed his approach to clemency while discussing potential pardons for hip-hop mogul Sean Combs and disgraced congressman George Santos.

Conservative extremist and Donald Trump "whisperer" Laura Loomer posted a long lament on social media Saturday, complaining that she is a victim of "Jew hatred" from allies on the right — and that she can no longer ignore it.

Loomer, who has been the guiding force behind multiple firings in the Trump administration by ferreting out apostasy against the president. began by claiming that she has long been criticized for her faith by critics on the left — but now she sees it coming from her own side.

The Office of the Special Counsel has launched an investigation into former special counsel Jack Smith—the prosecutor who tried to hold Donald Trump accountable for his alleged crimes, CNN reported Saturday.

The probe comes as Trump's administration accuses Smith of alleged violations of the Hatch Act, which limits political activities by government workers.

Explosive new financial disclosures reveal how wealthy elites are literally buying face time with Donald Trump, according to a New York Times report Saturday.

A figures, shared in filings by MAGA Inc., a super PAC funding much of Donald Trump's political machine, exposes a stunning pay-to-play scheme operating at the highest levels of American government. The donor list reads like a who's who of crypto moguls, influence peddlers, and favor-seekers—all willing to write massive checks for a seat at Trump's table, the Times reported.

On Friday, President Donald Trump gave a stark warning to Russia that included the strategic positioning of nuclear submarines, a warning that former Naval College professor Tom Nichols, who now writes for The Atlantic, claims was merely a “convenient distraction” from the president’s “terrible week,” and one that could end up sparking a “nuclear crisis.”

On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump announced that he had ordered the deployment of two nuclear submarines in response to inflammatory comments from former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev. In a post on the social media platform Telegram, Medvedev taunted Trump while also referencing “Dead Hand,” the Soviet-built nuclear automated system that would ensure mutual destruction with any attacking countries.

As the Jeffrey Epstein firestorm continues to engulf the Donald Trump White House, The New Republic's Michael Tomasky pointed out that there is renewed interest in accusations made about the president years ago that have been lying dormant.

In his column delving into Trump's inability to understand why he is not receiving across-the-board adulation for his policies during his second term, the longtime political observer wrote that the reportedly "frustrated Trump...wonders why he’s not more popular. He complains, we read, that he’s accomplished a great deal and that he’s keeping his campaign promises, and looked at a certain way, these statements are true, to a point. So he can’t figure out why he’s at 37 percent."

White House officials are growing increasingly “frustrated” with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over his continued “string of missteps” and “lack of managerial experience,” the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the White House officials named several actions from Hegseth that continued to test their patience, including his “refusal to part with his acting chief of staff,” Tim Parlatore, whose behavior has raised “conflict-of-interest alarms” and with whom Hegseth has long held close ties to.

A rant by Turning Point USA head Charlie Kirk on who is manly and who is not led to an explosion of laughter on CNN's "Table for Five " on Saturday morning.

As host Abby Philip pointed out before sharing the clip, "According to one MAGA star, it's a man's world and anyone who's not MAGA is just living in it."

In the clip, the frequently derided Donald Trump influencer exclaimed, "I do think that there is a direct correlation between someone's testosterone and their politics. I would love to have a study done on this on young men –– the lower their testosterone, the more likely they are to be democratic."

"Democrats are not going to be able to win over high testosterone men because they're too self-directed so differently," he suggested. "The lower your testosterone is, of course, the more likely you are going to be subservient and compliant, okay? Our republic needs alpha men."

In the middle of all the panel laughter, CNN's Harry Enten blurted "What the hell is he talking about? Oh my god! Does anyone here know?"

A number of prominent Republican lawmakers are firing back at President Donald Trump over his firing of Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer following a brutal Friday jobs report that showed a dramatic slowdown in job growth, The Guardian reported Saturday.

“If she was just fired because the president or whoever decided to fire the director just… because they didn’t like the numbers, they ought to grow up,” said Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), speaking with The Guardian.
