Florida Republicans resist Donald Trump ending TPS for Venezuelans

Some Florida Republican representatives have voiced opposition to the Trump administration ending Temporary Protected Status (TPS) protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.

The U.S. Supreme Court allowing the administration to end TPS protections for Venezuelans may have implications for 350,000 living in the United States. Critics say they may be at risk of deportation to Venezuela where they could face persecution or other challenges, despite long-standing legal protections in the U.S.

Trump's efforts to end TPS status for Venezuelans has sparked some criticism from Florida Republicans representing the Miami area including Representatives Mario Diaz-Balart, Carlos Gimenez and Maria Elvira Salazar. While the lawmakers have been broadly supportive of many of the president's immigration efforts, they have warned about potential repercussions of ending TPS.

Trump suggests Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis was covered up

President Donald Trump has suggested that Joe Biden's presidential physical would have picked up his prostate cancer and said he was "surprised that the public wasn't notified a long time ago."

"It takes a long time to get to that situation," said Trump of Biden's aggressive cancer that has spread to his bones.

Trump said that, during his recent physical, doctors conducted a PSA test which is able to detect some prostate cancers and "is standard to pretty much anybody."

However, prostate cancer screenings aren't recommended for men over 70 meaning that Biden may not have had the tests.

The Associated Press notes that medical professionals found that the tests can sometimes fail at identifying aggressive prostate cancers like Biden's.

Trump says Vatican's involvement in Ukraine-Russia war may diffuse 'tremendous anger': Report

President Donald Trump said that he believes involving the Vatican in peace negotiations in the Ukraine-Russia war may help to diffuse some of the "tremendous bitterness, anger" that has built up, according to a Fox News reporter.

Earlier on Monday, Trump had said that Pope Leo and the Vatican were "very interested" in hosting the ongoing negotiations.

"I think it would be great to have it at the Vatican," he said, according to to Fox. "Maybe it would have some extra significance.

"There's tremendous bitterness, anger, and I think maybe that could help with some of that anger."

Trump denied that meant that the Vatican's involvement signaled that the United States was backing away from its role as a mediator.

But he said he did have a line at which he was ready to walk away.

"I do have a certain line, but I don't want to say what the plan is, because I think it makes the negotiation even more difficult than it is," he said.

James Comey says he didn't have 'gut check' before Trump '8647' post

Former FBI Director James Comey addressed the controversy surrounding his recent Instagram post featuring the numbers "86 47" spelled out in seashells. In an interview with Nicolle Wallace on MSNBC, Comey explained that he and his wife interpreted "86" as a restaurant term meaning to remove an item from the menu, and "47" as a reference to President Donald Trump being the 47th president.

He acknowledged that he did not perform a "gut check" before posting the image and expressed regret for the distraction it caused. Comey emphasized that the post was "totally innocent" and not intended as a threat.

OPINION: Senators—Big Tech puts profit over children's safety

For years, Big Tech companies have knowingly sold American children as the product on their platforms, exposing them to appalling harms, including bullying, lethal drugs, and sexual exploitation. The reason for this negligence is as simple as it is reprehensible: Investing in children's safety would cut into their profits. So they don't—bringing tragic consequences.

Earlier this month, the Federal Trade Commission revealed that in 2019, Meta-owned Instagram encouraged users whom the company identified as potential child predators to connect with minors, who made up 27 percent of their follow recommendations.

After receiving evidence that his platform was endangering children, however, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg refused to bolster the platform's safety teams.

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson comes under MAGA fire

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson came under fire from supporters of President Donald Trump's "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement after she was the only justice to note her dissent in a case related to the Trump administration's immigration authority.

Trump's supporters and other far-right internet personalities turned their focus on Jackson—the most recent Supreme Court appointee and first Black woman on the bench—after Biden's announcement on Sunday.

"I will ask this again: Was Ketanji Brown Jackson a legally-nominated Supreme Court Justice if the person who appointed her lacked capacity?" right-wing influencer Jack Posobiec wrote on X, formerly Twitter, after Biden's announcement.

After the court issued its decision on Trump's efforts to revoke TPS for Venezuelan migrants, the Oregon Republican Party posted on X: "You have to wonder who chose Ketanji Brown Jackson for a seat on SCOTUS."

James Comey says he's not scared of threats to jail him over Instagram post

Former FBI Director James Comey has said he is not scared of President Trump and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's threats to imprison him over an Instagram post.

Comey on Thursday posted a photo of shells on the beach that were laid out as the numbers "86 47" to his Instagram account with the caption, "Cool shell formation on my beach walk."

The numbers "47" referred to president number 47, Trump, while 86 is how restaurants often refer to removing an item from a menu.

The post sparked immediate criticism from conservatives who claimed that the post meant Comey was calling for an assassination on Trump.

Comey has argued that there was never any violent intention and the political message, which he said he found on the beach, was simply someone expressing a desire for Trump to no longer be the president.

During an appearance on MSNBC, when asked about Tulsi's calls for him to be jailed over the post, Comey said, "I hope people know enough about that particular person that they understand where's it's coming from and it says something more depressing about the leadership of our current administration. I shrug because that's ridiculous."

When asked if he was scared he said "no" because "it's not my first rodeo."

The former FBI chief said that the Trump administration's threats were the latest in a long line from the president and his aides.

Comey said that Trump had repeatedly called for his incarceration and had subjected him to an audit.

"I really thought I was done, I was in another life. And then I went for a walk on the beach and I posted a silly picture of shells that I thought was a clever way to express some political viewpoint and actually I still think it is, I don't see it the way some people are saying it is."

OPINION: Ben Cohen—I was arrested at Senate Hearing because I protested for justice

On Wednesday, I was arrested at the U.S. Capitol while protesting an issue that affects every American, whether they know it or not.

There are so many terrible things going on in the world that it's hard to take them all in, much less respond to them all.

But there are some things that, for one reason or another, affect each of us more deeply.

For me, there are two such attacks on justice, common decency, and what I had thought was the American way that are especially troubling.

The first injustice is local. It's an attack on the health of children living in the poorest communities in our country. I was shaken 10 years ago when I first learned about the lead crisis in Flint, Michigan, and read that more than 100,000 people—many of them children—were being poisoned by the city's water supply.

Now we're hearing about it in Milwaukee.

Judge rules Trump and DOGE's gutting of nonprofit was 'unlawful'

A federal judge ruled Monday that the Trump administration's dismantling of the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP), a congressionally approved nonprofit organization, was "unlawful" and declared the administration's actions "null and void."

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell sided with the plaintiffs on Monday and blocked the Trump administration from moving forward with its efforts to shut down USIP.

She also determined that DOGE illegally took over USIP using "blunt force, backed up by law enforcement officers from three separate local and federal agencies."

The Trump administration and DOGE's actions, "including the removal of USIP's president, his replacement by officials affiliated with DOGE, the termination of nearly all of USIP's staff, and the transfer of USIP property to the General Services Administration ('GSA'), were thus effectuated by illegitimately-installed leaders who lacked legal authority to take these actions, which must therefore be declared null and void," Howell wrote.

Donald Trump gets court win over limiting federal union rights

A federal appeals court has cleared the way for President Donald Trump's executive order to move forward, aiming to curtail collective bargaining rights for hundreds of thousands of federal workers while litigation continues.

The decision, issued Friday, followed the Trump administration's request for an emergency stay of a lower court ruling that had blocked the order's enforcement across more than 30 federal agencies and departments.

In a 2-1 decision, a panel of judges in Washington, D.C., ruled that unions representing federal employees lack standing to sue. The majority cited the administration's assurance that no existing collective bargaining agreements would be terminated during the ongoing legal proceedings. Judges Karen Henderson (appointed by former President George H.W. Bush) and Justin Walker (appointed by Trump) supported the ruling; Judge Michelle Childs, appointed by former President Joe Biden, dissented.

The administration contends the executive order is essential for reducing the federal workforce in the interest of national security. While current labor law allows exemptions for national security roles—such as those at the FBI—Trump's order seeks to broaden that exemption more than any previous administration.
