Lawful channels allowed them to come to America. Now many face deportation to countries they say they won’t survive.

But the hearing quickly became a letdown for Paul and Republicans on Wednesday. The former NIAID head repeatedly took the Fifth Amendment and refused to answer questions from both Republicans and Democrats.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office gathered data from 11 states and used census data to extrapolate from there. According to the GAO report, an estimated 13.8 million American adults enrolled in Medicaid, and 10.6 million who live in a household that receives Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits worked at least part time in 2024. Two-thirds of that group worked full-time jobs, clocking in 35 or more hours each week. Most of these employed recipients of federal benefits worked in some of the lowest-paying jobs in the country, but an estimated 35% of them were employed at companies with more than 1,000 workers.

Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.

During last fall’s government shutdown, the Trump administration started cutting energy grants to states, but the only states that were seriously affected were ones Donald Trump lost in the 2024 election. At the time, officials in the affected states accused the White House of “mafioso tactics” and brazenly abusing its powers by politicizing grant decisions that are supposed to be based on merit.

Establishment Dems (or someone aligned with them) using sneaky tactics (that undoubtedly are/ will be used in other elections) to try to beat a Progressive candidate

In the tweet, Trump said his vice president at the time, Mike Pence, “didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!”

And multiple state election officials have said they are not receiving any briefings on possible foreign threats to election security from the federal government. Such briefings were once a regular occurrence, they said.

“According to reports, the documents reveal that Ruemmler and Epstein were in frequent contact between 2014 and 2019, just one year prior to her joining Goldman and long after Epstein’s conviction for soliciting a child for sex in 2008,” the lawmakers wrote.

Trump “overturned” the directive on Wednesday morning, a White House official confirmed to MS NOW.

Last week’s reminder from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani seemed wholly unremarkable. As the city confronted an usually rough heat wave, the mayor published a July 1 post encouraging New Yorkers to set the air conditioners to 78 degrees, turn off electronics they’re not using and unplug as much as possible, all in the hopes of helping the power grid.

MS NOW’s David Noriega talked to ex-Trump supporters who explain how they came to the conclusion that it was time to leave MAGA, and the eye-opening revelations they made after they left the ‘movement.’

Dozens of intelligence officials began receiving notice of their terminations on Thursday under Bill Pulte, the new acting director of national intelligence.

Lemme guess, Birth of a Nation?

Donald Trump has nevertheless spent years condemning what’s known as “birthright citizenship” and vowing to undo it despite the plain language of the Constitution. Indeed, on Inauguration Day 2025, the new Republican president kept one of his uglier campaign promises and issued an executive order designed to gut the constitutional principle and directed federal agencies to refuse to recognize U.S. citizenship for children who do not meet the administration’s new standards.

Trump signed the order when he returned to office for his second term. Judges around the country quickly blocked it from taking effect. “Blatantly unconstitutional” is what one of them called it.

The president argued that his appeal presented important legal issues regarding evidence. He complained that the trial judge wrongly allowed, among other things, the infamous “Access Hollywood” tape in which he bragged about grabbing women by their genitals. He said the New York-based federal appeals court’s approval of the tape’s admission conflicted with how other federal appeals courts handle evidentiary issues.

A report that Kennedy raised the possibility of an “agreement” that would benefit an Iowa Libertarian if he exited the race raises all kinds of red flags.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s principal focus in recent weeks has been lining up support on Capitol Hill ahead of his upcoming Senate confirmation hearings, with a specific focus on winning over GOP skeptics. But Donald Trump’s controversial former defense attorney has more troubles than lining up 51 votes.

Secret Service officials are angered that FBI Director Kash Patel prematurely announced on Tuesday the details of a largely sealed and ongoing criminal investigation into an alleged plot to attack Sunday’s White House UFC event with drones, according to three people familiar with the incident.

FBI Director Kash Patel may have authorized taxpayer-funded special payments to his inner circle of FBI executives and agents on his protective detail, according to the ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee.

A federal judge in Virginia on Friday extended her block on the Trump administration’s nearly $1.8 billion compensation fund for individuals who believe they were victims of an alleged “weaponized” federal government.

In the first years after birth, the human brain develops at a remarkable pace. Every second, more than a million new neural connections spring into being, shaping a person’s physical and emotional health for the rest of their life.  Since the Trump administration entered the White House last year, at least 500 babies and toddlers have spent some of that pivotal time in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

At their state convention, Minnesota Republicans held a moment of silence for former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi told the House Oversight Committee on Friday that then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche was in charge of the Justice Department’s botched release of the Jeffrey Epstein files and acknowledged that there were “redaction errors” in the handling of documents, according to Bondi’s opening statement obtained by MS NOW.

They may not have the gavels yet, but House Democrats are laying the groundwork for a number of investigations into Donald Trump should they win control of Congress in November.

Tulsi Gabbard’s curious and confounding political odyssey may have reached its end. She has announced her resignation as Trump’s director of national intelligence, citing her husband’s medical struggles.

Four years after lambasting the Biden administration, GOP lawmakers are urging voters to be patient as gas prices climb over $4.50 per gallon.

The prosecutor wasn’t able to make his case in court, but months later, he’s bringing his arguments to the public in forceful and unrestrained ways.

The FBI has launched a criminal leak investigation focusing on an Atlantic magazine journalist who wrote a deeply unflattering account last month of Director Kash Patel’s work habits, two people familiar with the matter told MS NOW.

It was against this backdrop that GOP lawmakers unveiled the details of their reconciliation bill, which included an unexpected element. NBC News reported:

The Supreme Court on Monday granted a temporary pause to an appeals court ruling that blocked the telehealth provision and mailing of the abortion pill mifepristone nationwide as litigation continues.

A senior Trump administration Justice Department official ordered federal prosecutors in Alabama to “rush through” a controversial indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center despite concerns about the strength of the case, according to a description of a whistleblower account obtained exclusively by MS NOW.

The FBI has not found the fragment that pierced a Secret Service officer’s bulletproof vest at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday, leaving investigators unable to say for certain whether the armed attacker shot the officer or how he was injured, according to two people briefed on the probe.

In all, 55 incumbents have announced they will not run for re-election, the highest since 1992, when a record 65 members of both parties retired after it was revealed that many of them were intentionally overdrawing their House bank accounts by thousands of dollars without paying a penalty.

Donald Trump’s FBI director is suing over a critical article. He has a tough legal standard to meet.

Over the weekend, The New York Times revealed the origins of the modern shadow docket, publishing internal memos that were circulated among the justices before the Roberts-led majority halted then-President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan in 2016.

The Atlantic reported that FBI personnel have expressed concerns about the director’s unexplained absences and excessive drinking. He sued a few days later.

The world’s No. 1 bro-caster, who has expressed some buyer’s remorse over his endorsement of Trump, stood directly behind the president, who was seated at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office signing an executive order to ease restrictions on medical research and treatments using psychedelic drugs.

President Donald Trump’s army of lawyers may be the largest of any Oval Office occupant in history. Aside from the attorneys who work for the office of the president, he has retained a veritable phalanx of personal attorneys over the years to represent him in court. That kind of legal firepower doesn’t come cheap. But according to recent Federal Election Commission filings, the funding stream Trump has been using to pay out millions to law firms is running very, very low on cash.

Trump expects people to believe he “wasn’t that involved” in Hungary’s election. There’s a whole lot of evidence to the contrary.

The California Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered John Eastman disbarred and his name stricken from the state roll of attorneys. It caps a yearslong effort by the state bar to strip Eastman of his law license after he developed a legal strategy to have then-Vice President Mike Pence interfere with the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential victory.

As these efforts took shape, Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, launched a salvo that appeared rather serious. Last month, the former television personality said New York’s Medicaid program last year provided personal care services, covering things such as bathing and meal preparation, to roughly 5 million people.

Last week, the Department of Labor filed a rule that would allow 401(k) plans to invest in high-risk assets, including cryptocurrency, private equity, hedge-fund-style products, private credit and other alternative investments once reserved for the wealthy.

President Donald Trump must still face civil lawsuits seeking to hold him accountable for his role in the lead up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, a federal judge ruled Tuesday in a long-running litigation from Democratic House members and Capitol Police officers.

Any one else forget that our pedo President had a pedo preacher?

Just days after labeling the Senate deal to end the record-breaking shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security a “crap sandwich,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., appears ready to swallow it whole

The Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with a Christian counselor over Colorado in her challenge to the state’s ban on so-called conversion therapy for minors.

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., came out in opposition to the Senate deal on DHS on Friday, saying he wouldn’t put the bill on the floor. Many House Republicans privately think he’s making a mistake.

During a conversation with conservative lawyer Mike Davis on his ‘War Room’ program, Bannon asked, ‘We can use what’s happening with these ICE [officers] helping out at the airports, we can use this as a test run, as a test case to really perfect ICE’s involvement in the 2026 midterm elections, sir?’

Mueller, who served as special counsel in the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, was 81.

The investigation is predicated on the baseless conspiracy theory that Trump was singularly targeted by top government officials.
