Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino told Fox News on Saturday that a federal judge's order for agents to stop using pepper spray and tear gas against peaceful protesters will not stop Border Patrol and ICE agents from using either against protesters who cross the line. Fox News Live host Aishah Hasnie asked Bovino whether Border Patrol and ICE agents would change how they deal with protesters, following the judge's order on Friday.

Screenshot White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt threatened CBS News Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil the administration would sue your ass off moments after he finished his 13-minute interview with President Donald Trump, The New York Times reported Saturday although some witnesses weren't sure if she was being serious. Leavitt approached Dokoupil after he asked his last question of the president on Wednesday, The Times reported.

They have a very big market share, Trump told reporters at the Kennedy Center on 7 December, two days after the deal was announced and five days before he began to purchase Netflix and WBD bonds. When they have Warner Bros, that share goes up a lot. So, I don't know. That's going to be for some economists to tell and also and I'll be involved in that decision too. But they have a very big market share.

On Saurday's The Tim Dillon Show, the comedian said he failed to wrap his head around why the dog mask charity event would be something to do when the country is facing so many crises both at home and abroad. On the show, Dillon roasted the Mar-a-Lago event as 1000% psychotic and incredibly poorly timed. Dillon is well-known for roasting Democrats and woke policies, but he's also been steadily critical of the current administration latetly over issues like ICE's mass deportations and the Epstein files.

When President Donald Trump announced the audacious capture of Nicolas Maduro to face drug trafficking charges in the U.S., he portrayed the strongman's vice president and longtime aide as America's preferred partner to stabilize Venezuela amid a scourge of drugs, corruption and economic mayhem. Left unspoken was the cloud of suspicion that long surrounded Delcy Rodriguez before she became acting president of the beleaguered nation earlier this month.

This case involves six individual plaintiffs, and Minneapolis, St. Paul and state officials have filed a separate lawsuit that seeks to end the ICE surge. Driving the news: U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez barred ICE agents from arresting or pepper spraying people for simply observing or criticizing the federal government's actions. The judge also ruled that safely following ICE vehicles does not on its own justify a traffic stop, protecting an increasingly common tactic used by Minnesotans to track raids in the Twin Cities.

Ridge, a moderate Republican and a Vietnam vet with a square jaw and gentle manner, was the governor of Pennsylvania when nearly 3,000 Americans were killed on September 11, 2001. The nation was gripped with fear and horror, and President George W. Bush put the bipartisanship-seeking Ridge in charge of making sure there wouldn't be another terrorist strike. The new Cabinet-level entity that he would lead mashed together more than 20 federal agencies under one Orwellian name.

Though only 17 of the 47 presidents were governors, only four men (James Garfield, Warren Harding, John F. Kennedy and Barack Obama) have gone directly from Congress to the White House. Among Democrats, however, the last sitting or former governor to win a presidential nomination was Bill Clinton. Indeed, the last governor to run a viable Democratic nomination contest was Howard Dean in 2004, and his signature issue was foreign policy (his opposition to the Iraq War).

FALLON / AFP via Getty Images All eyes are on the Trump administration's brutal "immigration enforcement" operation in Minnesota, where roving squads of federal agents in Minneapolis are demanding proof of citizenship from people of color on the street and lashing out against residents enraged by the deadly shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer last week.

California's proposed wealth tax is coming in for a lot of criticism these days. From Gov. Gavin Newsom, who counts many billionaires as friends and donors and yet was raised by a single mother juggling three jobs, to Anduril founder Palmer Luckey's vociferous objections, to the Google guys Larry Page and Sergey Brin voting with their feet, much of the Golden State's ultrawealthy is objecting to this policy. But what if the policy wouldn't even work that well, once implemented?

The University of Arkansas has reversed its decision to hire Emily Suski as its new law school dean for reportedly joining a group of other law professors in filing an amicus brief at the U.S. Supreme Court in support of transgender student athletes. The University of Arkansas, which announced Suski's new role on Jan. 9, said on Wednesday that it was moving in a "different direction" after receiving "feedback from key external stakeholders about the fit between Professor Suski and the university's vacancy,"

Yeah, what's the difference? I mean, it must be exhausting with these people's mental gymnastics. Like, okay, okay. Let's use for the sake of argument, let's use their logic. And then that anybody that interferes or MP with law enforcement will meet the consequences. Let's use that logic. Okay. By that logic, every single person at January 6th should have been shot dead! By their logic! I'm not suggesting that let's be a hundred percent clear.

Right now, Democrats have no credible path to sustained control of the Senate and the White House. After the adjustments to the Electoral College map that look likely to come with the next census, the Democratic presidential nominee could win all the states won by Kamala Harris plus the blue wall of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and still fall short of the 270 electoral votes needed to win. An already unforgiving map becomes more so. This is equally true of the Senate.
