Pam Bondi, President Donald Trump's attorney general said Sunday the president would "probably" leave the White House after his second term is completed.

But she left the door slightly open toward him serving another four years, telling "Fox News Sunday," "I think he's going to be finished probably after this term," and saying it would be a "heavy lift" to change the Constitution to allow Trump to serve another four years.

Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Saturday that he was revoking all visas to South Sudanese passport holders "due to the failure of South Sudan's transitional government to accept the return of its repatriated citizens in a timely manner."

Trump, White House tout latest jobs report

President Donald Trump posted his response to Friday's jobs report on his social media platform, calling it "great" and "far better than expected."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also touted the March jobs report, saying the economy is "starting to roar" with this report that is "well ahead of the market's expectation."

"The president's push to onshore jobs here in the United States is working. The Golden Age of America is on its way!" she argued in the statement.

The U.S. added 228,000 jobs in March, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That figure amounted to robust hiring and marked a major increase from 151,000 jobs added in the previous month. Though the report does not take into account Trump's sweeping tariff announcement this week.

Backlash to his sweeping tariff announcement continues to grow, including China's response overnight that it will impose a 34% tariff on all American goods.

Laura Loomer thanks Trump for being 'receptive' to 'disloyal people' she reported to him

While President Trump is claiming Laura Loomer was not involved in the NSC firings, overnight Loomer appeared to confirm that she played a role, including the latest at the NSA involving General Timothy Haugh.

"NSA Director Tim Haugh and his deputy Wendy Noble have been disloyal to President Trump. That is why they have been fired," Loomer posted on X.

She went on to thank the president for "being receptive" to vetting materials she gave him.

"Thank you President Trump for being receptive to the vetting materials provided to you and thank you for firing these Biden holdovers."

In a separate post last night, Loomer said she reported names to Trump of "disloyal people" in the NSC.

Judge blocks attempt to cut $11 billion in public health funding

A federal judge on Thursday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's administration from terminating billions of dollars in public health funding.

U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy -- a Trump appointee -- issued a temporary restraining order that bars the Department of Health and Human Services from cutting off $11 billion in COVID-19 related funds.

The order came after a coalition of 23 states and the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit on Tuesday to challenge the cuts, which they alleged would upend public health public programs that tracked infectious diseases, provided substance abuse services, and supported access to immunizations.

"The result of these massive, unexpected funding terminations is serious harm to public health, leaving Plaintiff States at greater risk for future pandemics and the spread of otherwise preventable disease and cutting off vital public health services," they alleged.

Judge McElroy's order blocking the funding cuts applies for two weeks and she will consider issuing a longer-term injunction later this month. The Democratic officials who brought the lawsuit celebrated the ruling on social media, saying it would temporarily allow funding to continue to their states.

"We're going to continue our lawsuit and fight to ensure states can provide the medical services Americans need," New York Attorney General Letitia James said.

The ruling marks the latest legal setback for the Trump administration, which has fended off more than a hundred lawsuits challenging the president's policies.
