In March, Erez Reuveni, a veteran Justice Department lawyer, was promoted to the position of acting deputy director of the Office of Immigration Litigation. He decided to personally take on the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who had been wrongly sent back to El Salvador, in violation of a 2019 court order. On April 5th, Reuveni told his supervisor he would not sign an appeal brief that said Abrego Garcia was a "terrorist." According to a whistle-blower complaint that Reuveni later filed, he said, "I didn't sign up to lie." He was suspended and then fired.
[T]he extraordinarily complex system created by the Copyright Act and related statutes cannot safely be revised this quickly without risking serious unintended consequences.
During an interview with Politico, Donald Trump snapped at a reporter for reminding him that the expiration of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies will have an immediate effect on American families. "Don't be dramatic," he told her, more than once. Reporter Dasha Burns pressed Trump on whether he would try to strike a deal to extend ACA subsidies before they expire in two weeks, which will cause healthcare premiums to skyrocket for many Americans.
President Donald Trump said his administration has truckloads of evidence to show Democrats rigged the 2020 election on Sunday. We have all the ammunition, all the stuff, and you'll see it come out, Trump said. It's coming out in truckloads. The president made the remark while hosting a Christmas reception at the White House. Trump said the Democrats are professionals at cheating, especially when it comes to elections, and said that was obvious in 2020 when he lost as the incumbent to Joe Biden.
US President Donald Trump is promoting his nation's economic record, insisting prices are falling and investment is surging but the data, and rising cost-of-living pressures, tell a different story.

In January, gay comedian Rosie O'Donnell pulled up stakes and moved to Ireland. She was looking to escape the mental jail in which Donald Trump locked her during his first term in office, and where he threatened to put her again in his second, along with deporting her. Now she says she's loving her life in a Georgian farmhouse near Dublin, the Washington Post reports, enjoying walks around town like a civilian,
Many Americans have visions of $2,000 stimulus checks dancing in the heads thanks to the president's promises. The Trump administration seems resolute in delivering a welcome boost to middle-class taxpayers, a cool $2,000 per person, funded by the influx of tariff revenues from trade partners. But the Treasury has yet to sign on the dotted line, and there's no 100 percent guarantee that the stimulus package will see the light of day.
We even brought our superstar today, Karoline. Stand up, guys. Isn't she great? Is Karoline great? You know, when she goes on television, Fox, like I mean, they dominate. They dominate when she gets up there with that beautiful face and those lips that don't stop Ba-ba-bup-bop-bop! Like a little machine gun. She's got no fear, remarked Trump before a crowd in Pennsylvania.
President Donald Trump denounced the shooting at Australia's Bondi Beach as a purely antisemitic attack on Sunday, just hours after a Hanukkah celebration was targeted. As you know, there was a terrible attack, 11 dead, 29 badly wounded, the president said at the White House. And that was an anti-semitic attack, obviously. And I just want to a pay my respects to everybody.
Johnson, R-La., huddled behind closed doors in the morning - as he did days earlier this week - working to assemble the package for consideration as the House focuses the final days of its 2025 work on health care. "House Republicans are tackling the real drivers of health care costs to provide affordable care," Johnson said in a statement announcing the package. He said it would be voted on next week.
I think it's going to be a really steep climb, Dasha, said Short, in relation to GOP midterm efforts. The reality is that Americans like divided government. They don't want one party in control. Each time there's been one party in control, there's been a backlash. The once chief of staff to former Vice President Mike Pence noted that in previous midterms, the incumbent party is much more vulnerable to losing Congressional seats.
In 2025, state and local governments reportedly sold a record amount of debt for the second year in a row, with strategists predicting another $600 billion in sales next year. Most of that money is expected to fund infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, Census Bureau data reportedly shows that private spending on data center construction was running at annualized run rate of more than $41 billion - roughly the same as state and local government spending on transportation construction.
"These are sham ethics waivers," Clark said. "They lack the kind of rigorous objective ethics analysis that would ensure that public policy is made for public benefit. Instead, they were aimed at enabling Sacks to profit from his government position," she said, describing the waivers as "like a presidential pardon in advance."
The White House is withdrawing @JoeFrancescon as its nominee to be the National Security Agency's (NSA) Deputy Director, meanwhile the acting Deputy Director will retire at the end of the month. This means the top two positions at NSA and the four-star commander at Cyber Command will remain vacant for 8 months and counting. All because of infighting in the White House and the involvement of whacky Laura Loomer in hiring. We are at Cyber War everyday and the inability to get leaders in place is gross negligence.
