A right-wing Supreme Court justice's new book fueled speculation Friday that he is preparing to "disrobe."

Justice Samuel Alito's new book, "So Ordered: An Originalist's View of the Constitution, the Court, and the Country," hits shelves in October, just a day after the Supreme Court's term officially kicks off on Oct. 5.

The timing sparked speculation for former litigator Elie Mystal, who questioned in The Nation why a sitting justice would release a book during the court's busiest season.

Doctor issues scathing ultimatum to MAGA-fied CBS over Epstein-linked health guru

A former ABC News medical correspondent has vowed never to set foot on CBS as long as the network keeps anti-aging influencer Peter Attia on its payroll after new Justice Department files revealed his ties to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Dr. Jen Ashton drew a hard line in the sand in a fiery Instagram video, The Daily Beast reported. And she didn't mince words about why.

"I will not appear on CBS while Peter Attia is still under contract with them. I think it reflects badly on me, and I feel that the American people deserve more. I feel they deserve to get their information from a credentialed, high-caliber, moral individual," she said.

January layoffs highest since Great Recession: analyst

Layoffs hit their highest total last month since the Great Recession nearly two decades ago, according to a new analysis, and employers don't look to be adding jobs soon.

U.S. employers announced 108,435 layoffs for January, up 118 percent from the same period a year ago and 205 percent from December, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, and CNBC reported those were the highest totals for January since the depths of the global financial crisis in 2009.

“Generally, we see a high number of job cuts in the first quarter, but this is a high total for January,” said Andy Challenger, chief revenue officer for the firm. “It means most of these plans were set at the end of 2025, signaling employers are less-than-optimistic about the outlook for 2026.”

Trump makes startling admission about his 'big ego' at National Prayer Breakfast

By Matthew Chapman
Published February 5, 2026 9:20 AM ET

President Donald Trump said at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday that he needed to win a second term because he was still burning with resentment over not getting one in 2020 — bragging about his "big ego" while continuing to push conspiracy theories about his prior election loss.

"They rigged the second election," said Trump. "I had to win it. I had to win it. I needed it for my own ego. I would've had a bad ego for the rest of my life. Now I really have a big ego. Beating these lunatics was incredible, what a great feeling. Winning every swing state. Winning the popular vote. The first time they said I didn't win the popular vote. I did."

He then went on to complain about how many articles would qualify his 2016 win with, "While Donald Trump did not win the popular vote..." which is indeed a factual statement.

Trump stupefies with interview reply: 'Everyone in that room should've died from laughter'

President Donald Trump drew incredulous jeers with his response to a question about a potential Republican loss in this fall's midterm elections.

"NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Llamas scored a sit-down interview with the 79-year-old president, and he asked if he would trust the results if the GOP lost their congressional majorities in November, and Trump demurred.

"I will, if the elections are honest," Trump told him. "Look, I'm the last one that wants to complain."

Top Trump nemesis goes directly after James Comer: 'You want this fight -- let's have it'

By David Edwards
Published February 5, 2026 9:51AM ET

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton dared House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) to hold her and former President Bill Clinton's testimony on sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in public.

After the couple requested that the hearing be public, Comer announced that he would hold depositions behind closed doors in late February.

"Once it became clear that the House of Representatives would hold them in contempt, the Clintons completely caved and will appear for transcribed, filmed depositions this month," Comer said recently.

Trump lawyers get an earful from judge over desperate new move: 'Two bites at the apple'

By Robert Davis
Published February 4, 2026 6:15 PM ET

President Donald Trump's lawyers were chastized by a federal judge on Wednesday for trying to take "two bites at the apple" in the president's latest attempt to get his felony convictions thrown out.

In May 2024, Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts for falsifying dozens of business records related to a hush money payment he gave to adult film star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an affair the two had years before. The payment occurred when Trump was running for president for the first time, leading prosecutors in Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office to conclude that the payments were part of a scheme to influence the election results.

In November, judges on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered New York federal judge Alvin K. Hellerstein to review the case again. On Wednesday, Trump's lawyers got an earful from Hellerstein, who accused them of trying to take "two bites at the apple," Politico reported.

Flailing Trump is now 'desperate' as bid to steal congressional seats flops: expert

By Matthew Chapman
Published February 4, 2026 6:26 PM ET

President Donald Trump's new effort to seize control of election infrastructure from states is more than a pursuit of his 2020 conspiracy theories, election lawyer and Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias warned MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday — it's a "desperate" reaction to his fear of losing the midterms, and his frustration that his pressure campaign to get Republican states to redraw congressional maps to give him extra seats backfired on him.

"Marc Elias, let me bring you in on this," said Wallace. "This is a playbook you and I have been talking about and covering really for years now, since before Donald Trump was elected a second time. But Chairman Rob Pitts again at this press conference, suggesting that he and other major Georgia figures would be arrested."

"Look, I've been sounding the alarm about the risks that Donald Trump faced to democracy since I was a general counsel to Hillary Clinton's campaign," said Elias. "You and I did a lot of television sounding the alarm before the 2020 election and what we saw afterwards. And I am here to sound a larger and louder alarm today than I ever have before."

Another Republican in the House of Representatives announced on Wednesday that he will not seek reelection this fall.

Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) said in a statement that he will not run again during the midterms. Loudermilk has served Georgia's 11th Congressional district since 2014.

Supreme Court signals it's feeling the heat amid backlash to 'shadow docket' rulings

By Nicole Charky-Chami
Published February 4, 2026 3:48 PM ET

The Supreme Court has started showing signs that justices are aware of the growing public frustration around its shadow docket, a New York Times reporter said Wednesday.

Jodi Kantor, a Times investigative reporter, told MS NOW's Katy Tur that mounting criticism of the conservative majority's court and its recent decisions — which sometimes have just one sentence — has revealed a shifting tone among the justices.

In her recent book, Justice Amy Coney Barrett acknowledged that the court sometimes doesn’t explain itself “because it doesn't feel ready to commit to reasoning,” Kantor said.
