His wife, Gisele, an advocate for immigrant rights and a former undocumented immigrant, was not mentioned in discussions on immigration.

The meeting marks an unexpected alignment between the two politicians.

The Biden administration leaves a sprawling and well-resourced deportation machine to Donald Trump, who is promising mass expulsion

Fox News’s attempt to find support for Donald Trump in Greenland backfired, as most residents expressed disinterest in his proposals.

While one Trump supporter was found, the majority of Greenlanders interviewed criticized Trump’s comments and expressed a preference for remaining under Danish rule.

Despite these setbacks, Trump continues to advocate for acquiring Greenland, citing economic security concerns.

And MAGA STILL supports him. It’s unbelievable.

Summary

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) clashed during a House Oversight Committee hearing, with Mace asking if Crockett wanted to “take it outside.”

The dispute began over Crockett’s call to reinstate a civil rights subcommittee, disbanded by Republicans in 2023.

Mace criticized Democrats and referenced anti-trans legislation, prompting Crockett to accuse her of exploiting the issue for campaign fundraising.

The spat escalated to social media, where Crockett labeled Mace an "attention seeking loser."

Mace later clarified she only sought a private discussion, not a physical altercation.

Rashida Jones, the first Black executive to lead a cable news network, is stepping down as MSNBC president after four years, citing a desire to "pursue new opportunities."

Her departure coincides with corporate restructuring and the start of Trump’s second administration.

Rebecca Kutler, a former CNN executive, will serve as interim president. Under Jones, MSNBC surpassed CNN as the second-rated cable news network, but viewership dropped 57% after Trump's election.

During her tenure, Jones expanded shows like Morning Joe and hired high-profile talent like Jen Psaki.

Comcast recently separated MSNBC and CNBC from NBC News under new leadership.

Every state has a committee of medical and public health experts tasked with investigating deaths that occur during and after pregnancy.

But as data paints a clearer picture of the impact that state policies such as abortion bans and Medicaid expansion can have on maternal health, leaders in some states are rushing to limit their review committee’s work — or halt it altogether.

Summary

The U.S. House of Representatives, led by Republicans, passed the "Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act" in a 218-206 vote.

The bill redefines Title IX protections, banning transgender women and girls from competing in school sports that align with their gender identity in federally funded schools.

Critics, including 400+ civil rights groups, argue it could violate students’ privacy and lacks enforcement clarity.

The bill faces slim chances in the Senate.

Broader political conflicts over disaster relief funding are complicating its path forward.

Summary

Special Counsel Jack Smith's report concluded that Donald Trump avoided prosecution for January 6-related charges due to his reelection.

The DOJ determined that prosecuting a sitting president violated constitutional protections, despite evidence strong enough to secure a conviction.

Smith noted that Trump's return to office directly halted legal action and criticized existing DOJ policies and judicial interpretations, which shielded presidents from accountability.

The report underscores how voters, by reinstating Trump, indirectly prevented his criminal prosecution for actions threatening democratic institutions.

What would you do if you were a white male with billions of dollars and seemingly a lot of extra time on your hands? If you answered anything other than “destroy a social media app and buy a U.S. election” or “go on a podcast to complain about companies not being man enough,” then you’d be wrong! Sorry!

On Friday, Joe Rogan released his latest podcast episode featuring Mark Zuckerberg, the billionaire founder of Facebook, now Meta, who’s recently made a somewhat whiplash-inducing pivot from being a vocal critic of Trump to becoming another ass-kissing sycophant. In their nearly three-hour interview, Zuckerberg talked to Rogan about his passion for hunting invasive pigs in Hawaii and complained about how companies just aren’t masculine enough anymore.

“Masculine energy I think is good, and obviously society has plenty of that, but I think that corporate culture was really trying to get away from it,” Zuckerberg said. “It’s like you want feminine energy, you want masculine energy. I think that that’s all good. But I do think the corporate culture sort of had swung toward being this somewhat more neutered thing.” Must be hard to be one of the top five richest people in the world and still be a whiny little bitch.

Summary

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) argued that California does not deserve federal aid for its deadly Los Angeles wildfires unless the state adopts changes.

In a Newsmax interview, Tuberville criticized California leadership, falsely attributing wildfire mismanagement to "inner-city woke policies."

While he expressed willingness to support some funding, he insisted it be conditional on reforms.

The wildfires have killed 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes, per the Associated Press, intensifying debates on state accountability and federal disaster relief.
