"One of my colleagues actually put this post up in a group chat and I was like, 'Okay, this isn't real, right?'" she told the host. "Because it was just a picture. and then she was like, 'No, it's absolutely real.' and I was like, 'who are we and where are we living? And who is running this country?'"

"Because the level of childishness that we saw in this post, but also just the level of cruelty and the level of admission that we've seen, right?" she added, "Like Katie, you and I both know that ultimately, this is not the last that we have seen of this post. This post will most likely show up in some court filing when they are trying to determine whether or not this court has –– or I'm sorry –– this administration has intentionally decided that it wanted to ignore a court order."

She then added, "This will most likely show up in a contempt hearing, so I don't know why, I don't know who's advising or I don't know if they really do care."

According to former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade, the courts are beginning to lose patience with Donald Trump and members of his administration and a reckoning is coming.

"The most outrageous argument I think they made in the past week was arguing that when the court ordered that the government facilitate his [Kilmar Abrego Garcia's] release from custody in an El Salvador prison all that mean was if he should somehow find his way to the border of the United States, the United States should let. him in, There is no way that that's what the court meant when it said 'facilitate' his release from custody in El Salvador," she pointed out.

"This is a complete denial of the constitutional right to due process and so you're right, so far they seem to be, you know, using every excuse other than my dog ate it," she added. "But at some point they're going to get called on the carpet and the question will be whether they say they get to do it anyway."

Vice President J.D. Vance was taken to task by the conservative National Review's Andrew McCarthy for his constant running to X to post disingenuous attacks on opponents of the Donald Trump administration's immigration policies.

Legendary Republican strategist Karl Rove says America is “already exhausted” of President Donald Trump only 100 days into his second term.

Rove, one of the architects of the $3 trillion Iraq War, observed in a recent Wall Street Journal essay that Trump won last year on a stated goal of lowering prices and improving the economy, but what he’s delivered is trade war, international and domestic market instability, along with a litany of unrequested objectives. Some of these unwanted ideas “concocted on the fly” include the “Department of Government Efficiency and removing fluoride from drinking water.”

US Vice President JD Vance arrived at the Vatican on Saturday morning ahead of a meeting with the Holy See's second-highest official, just two months after Pope Francis lambasted the new US administration.

But by the time Harvard received “a frantic call from a Trump official,” the following Monday, it was too late. The university had already defied the president’s demands for control, “setting off a tectonic battle between one of the country’s most prestigious universities and a U.S. president,” the Times reported.
