President Donald Trump erupted Monday after his appeal of a sexual abuse verdict against him was rejected by the Supreme Court moments earlier, calling the court’s decision “surprising” while vowing to “continue the fight” against the decision.

“Surprisingly, the Supreme Court declined to ‘review’ a Fake Case brought against me by a woman I never met (Decades old celebrity photo line, standing with her husband, does not count!),” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.

A U.S. Supreme Court ruling issued Monday will end 90 years of court precedent that limits the president's power over independent agencies.

The conservative majority voted 6-3 to overturn a landmark 1935 ruling in the Humphrey’s Executor case that had found the president unlawfully fired a member of the Federal Trade Commission, and Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in her dissent that her colleagues had essentially concluded "all three branches of Government have been acting in open defiance of the Constitution all this time."

Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) appears to be “leaning into” President Donald Trump’s false election fraud claims in his bid for re-election, but according to CNN data guru Harry Enten, the Trump-endorsed candidate’s midterm strategy is all but certain to hand Democrats a decisive victory.

“If Mike Collins thinks that Donald Trump is going to carry him over the finish line, then I have a brave new world that he needs to face because that is a belief that’s just, simply put, not on this planet,” Enten said on Monday. “It is in some galaxy far, far away.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt marked her return from maternity leave Monday by immediately attacking Democratic candidates as "communists" on Fox & Friends.

Leavitt gave birth to her daughter, Viviana "Vivi" Riccio, eight weeks ago and stepped away from the briefing room podium in late April. Her first TV appearance back was on Fox & Friends Monday morning.

The U.S. Supreme Court narrowly ruled against President Donald Trump in his attempt to fire a Federal Reserve governor.

The court voted 5-4 to deny the president's request to stay a lower court's injunction that prevented him from firing Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, and the majority rejected the government's argument that the president's decision was not reviewable by the courts.

As conservative groups prepare to escalate the fight over Disney's broadcast licenses, two liberal-leaning organizations have deployed an unusual legal maneuver of their own.

The groups Frequency Forward and the Media Action Center filed a "petition to deny" against Disney's ABC license renewals last week, a procedural tool typically used by parties trying to block a renewal, to ask the Federal Communications Commission to grant the company's renewal applications immediately, without conditions or a negotiated settlement, reported Politico.

A Washington, D.C. resident who protested President Donald Trump’s surge of National Guard troops in the nation’s capital was awarded a “significant” settlement after being placed in handcuffs last year for following troops while playing “Star Wars” music.

“I’m pleased that the D.C. police recognize their part in violating my rights,” said Sam O’Hara, speaking with The Washington Post Friday after having just reached “a financial agreement with the D.C. government and four of its officers.” “I will say that I’m pleased and [the settlement] was significant and meaningful.”

The Supreme Court on Monday refused to hear President Donald Trump's appeal of the E. Jean Carroll sexual abuse verdict, leaving a $5 million judgment against him intact.

A jury found Trump liable in 2023 for sexually abusing writer E. Jean Carroll in a New York department store dressing room in the mid-1990s.

President Donald Trump's slow pace in sending nominations to the Senate is exposing deepening friction with Republican senators, who say they are increasingly frustrated with the White House as the GOP's hold on the chamber beyond 2026 grows uncertain.

More than two dozen federal court seats sit vacant, along with the Labor secretary, FDA commissioner and dozens of other top posts, and a senior White House official told Politico that Trump is in no hurry to fill them.

A Republican caller's live argument that citizenship should be limited to white people drew an instant rebuttal from a Democratic woman who blamed President Donald Trump for riling up white supremacists.

During Monday's Washington Journal program on C-SPAN, Jim, a North Dakota man calling on the Republican line, invoked America's first citizenship law to make his case. Victoria, a Connecticut woman on the Democrats' line, called it "disgusting" — and said it was the president's fault.
