Let's see, so, conflicts between the president and the judiciary are not new, Barrett said. They existed between Andrew Jackson and the Supreme Court. Even Abraham Lincoln, you know, there was some conflict. There was some conflict between FDR and the Supreme Court. So, I think that when we talk about the separation of powers and the balance of power and there being a tug and a pull between the branches of government this is a dance that we've seen before.

By SEUNG MIN KIM WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. will host next year's Group of 20 summit at his golf club in Doral. In his first term, Trump tried to host a separate global summit at the club but backed down after criticism from his own party about the propriety of doing so. "Well, I think everybody wants it there," Trump said Friday when asked if the global summit would be at his golf club and spa.

So we really beat them by much more than you think, Trump joked. This is the 201st executive order, sir. This relates to hostages and wrongfully detained Americans. This provides a new legal mechanism to declare foreign countries to be countries that engage in those sorts of practices and gives your administration powerful tools to get American hostages out, Scharf added as he moved on to the next EO.

Mr. President Donald J. Trump, I am a registered Republican, not that that matters because this is not political. However, I cordially invite you to the Capitol to meet me in person so you can understand this is not a hoax. We are real human beings! This is real trauma! It's being gutted from the inside out. Not that I would know what that feels like, but I imagine.

Despite the excitement of the weekend, Trump is very much alive, which we know because he gave an hour-long press conference on Tuesday afternoon, which began with his announcement that he's moving Space Command from Colorado to Huntsville, Alabama and ended with him rambling about how the U.S. is the hottest and the best and that we'd be a third world country right now if it weren't for tariffs.

When Mark Zuckerberg cozied up to Donald Trump at the beginning of this year, lots of folks chalked it up to fear. After all, they pointed out, Trump had previously threatened to throw the Meta CEO in jail. More prosaically, the US government that Trump was about to head up again was suing to break up Zuckerberg's company. But as we've pointed out here multiple times, Zuckerberg - and the rest of Big Tech's leaders - aren't just trying to stay off Trump's list of targets.

PSAKI: Trump has surrounded himself with people who already treat him like a dictator. And I was going to try to describe for you just how sycophantic this cabinet meeting today was, how much it would make North Korean leader Kim Jong Un or Russian President Putin blush. But my attempt to summarize this meeting, just no matter how hard I tried, just could simply not do it justice. And this is one of those things you really have to see for yourself.

"The games the administration is playing with re-releasing already public documents while withholding the Trump-Epstein files and other key information is another betrayal of survivors," former Amb. Norm Eisen, executive chair of Democracy Defenders Fund said. "In a democracy, transparency isn't optional. It's the law, and it's the bare minimum the American people are owed." The White House and the Justice Department did not respond to Axios' request for comment.

"There appeared to be a kind of vortex in the middle of the table in the meeting room; it sizzled and gave off sparks. Some paper clips flew into it and disappeared. "Her? Who?" "Melania Trump!" the voice yelled. "The future first lady!" "Future?" "First lady?" "There's no time to explain! Just put her on it! Put her on as many of them as you can! Trust us, you don't want to know what they'll do to get a cover!

The Kennedy Center Honors were always a populist affair, not to be confused with the somewhat more upscale National Medal of the Arts (which Presidents are also traditionally associated with). But under Trump, who shunned them entirely in his prior term, the announced next recipients are an almost comically MOR roundup: Phantom of the Opera Michael Crawford, "I Will Survive" singer Gloria Gaynor, cartoon metal act KISS, cartoon movie machismo exemplar Sylvester Stallone, and veteran country star George Strait, who couldn't be any straiter.

And so, in a desperate attempt to cut through the red tape, new-ish Intel CEO Lip Bu Tan on Friday conceded 10 percent of his company, about 433 million shares, to Uncle Sam in exchange for $8.9 billion of funding held hostage by the current administration. Remember, Intel has already spent tens of billions of dollars on fabs with the understanding its investments in US manufacturing would be rewarded.
