'What happened to Thomas Massie?' MAGA super PAC goes after longtime Trump thorn

The Trump-affiliated Kentucky MAGA super PAC has unleashed its first round of attacks on GOP contrarian Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) after the lawmaker vehemently opposed the president's weekend strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.

President Donald Trump's team was cobbling together the organization in the days before Massie joined with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) to introduce a war powers resolution to prevent Trump from acting on his own against Iran, Axios reported Sunday. Trump ordered the strikes Saturday, before Congress could consider the resolution.

During a White House press conference with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi early Friday afternoon, June 27, President Donald Trump discussed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that limits federal judges' power to halt his executive orders.

Trump, however, discussed many other things during the presser. Here are five of the press conference's wildest moments.

Trump just sent a 'dire warning' to the rest of the world: experts

By bombing three nuclear facilities in Iran, experts say President Donald Trump issued a "dire warning" to the rest of the world.

Trump initially signaled that he had a two-week timeline in which he would decide whether to approve an attack on Iran. However, some experts say that his decision to strike some of the country's nuclear facilities has reinforced the notion that American leadership is extremely temperamental and unpredictable, which could force other countries to rethink their relationship with the country.

Expert warns Supreme Court to say goodbye to vacation: 'About to get inundated'

Slate legal reporter Mark Joseph Stern recalled an era in which the U.S. Supreme Court could take a few months off and have a kind of summer vacation. That is probably over, he cautioned when speaking to MSNBC.

The high court issued a ruling Friday that eliminated nationwide injunctions by courts. It's in the birthright citizenship case before a federal court. While the conservative justices didn't bar birthright citizenship, they made it impossible to put the law on hold while it plays out in the courts.

'Idiocracy': Onlookers outraged at odd inclusion among White House press corps

A reporter from the Pillow Guy Mike Lindell's streaming network "Lindell TV" asked a question about the 2020 election during Friday's press conference with the White House press corps, sending social media into a tailspin.

The reporter asked, "Is there anymore information on the special prosecutor? So many Americans still have questions about the 2020 election. And speaking of rogue judges, would you consider appointing somebody at DOJ maybe to investigate the judges that allowed for the political persecution of you, your family, and your supporters during the Biden administration?"

Supreme Court just opened the door for the government to grab guns: legal expert

Reacting to the Supreme Court's stunning birthright citizenship ruling that now opens the door to an avalanche of lawsuits because the conservative court failed to rule on the reach of the 14th Amendment, one MSNBC legal analyst said the court may have opened a can of worms.

Speaking with host Ana Cabrera, Danny Cevallos explained that a non-Donald Trump administration could apply Friday's ruling to test the limits of the 2nd Amendment.

Cevallos noted a dissent from Justice Sonia Sotomayor made a solid point about the majority's ruling written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

"Sotomayor makes a compelling point that it should factor in," he told the host. "This is a great example of something that the government is so likely to lose on. And one of the other things I thought she raised that I thought was important was think about this going the other way?"

"What if the next president, a Democrat president, for example, says, 'I hereby issue an executive order: we're collecting all the guns. We're collecting them all tomorrow, we're going house to house, and we interpret the Constitution. The Second Amendment is saying, well, we're only talking about militia. And that's, oh, I don't know, the National Guard. Therefore, your AR-15 is now going to be collected by our authorities.'"

"Imagine the same thing," he suggested. "Someone would immediately go to a district court to challenge that as unconstitutional and so now what does this mean that we now need to wait for as the attorney general or Solicitor General John Sauer said, for these cases to percolate up through the system?"

'It's not a set-up': Trump defends reporter he 'loves' after softball question

President Donald Trump professed his admiration for a reporter during a White House press briefing Friday after being asked a question that validated both the president’s false claims of election interference in the 2020 election, and claims that the numerous felony charges he faced last year were politically motivated.

“Is there any more information on the special prosecutor?” the reporter asked, referring to Trump’s call for a special prosecutor to be appointed to investigate the 2020 election last week.
