If it happens, the deal would mark the end of months of uncertainty about the fate of the popular video-sharing platform in the United States. After wide bipartisan majorities in Congress passed - and President Joe Biden signed - a law that would ban TikTok in the U.S. if it did not find a new owner in the place of China's ByteDance, the platform was set to go dark on the law's January deadline. For a several hours, it did.
President Donald Trump is getting rid of members of the federal agency that would have reviewed his planned building projects as he works to physically remake Washington, D.C. Trump fired all members of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA) on October 28. The commission, a federal agency established by Congress, has shaped the look of the nation's capital for more than a century, from its museums and monuments to office buildings and parks, and now Trump is set to stack it with loyalists.
His chronic ignorance looks less like a habit than a strategy a way to stay in the good graces of President Donald Trump, who rewards loyalty above all. In Trump's Washington, knowledge is dangerous. Knowing too much can force you to act, make you responsible, even put you at odds with the leader who prefers fealty to fact. So Johnson has mastered a subtler art: performative ignorance. I'm not aware does more than dodge a question it signals allegiance.
MOYNIHAN: The outrage from the left, though, it feels extremely ironic that these are the same people celebrating statues being torn down of George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and now there's concern about erasing history, it kind of feels like the outrage is all over. SELLERS: Well, I mean, let me just say that I wasn't a big statue taker downer. That wasn't my ministry.
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., once one of the nation's most prestigious cultural institutions featuring the pinnacle of world-class entertainment, is facing an alarming collapse in attendance and reputation under President Donald Trump's direct oversight. Since Trump took over as chair of the Kennedy Center's board in February and appointed former ambassador Richard Grenell, a gay die-hard MAGA ally, to lead
I think it's really, really important to note that nothing is changing immediately. These would be proposals that would go out for public comment, it would take months for the Trump administration to issue a final rule, and then, if past is prologue, we would see litigation over whatever the final rules are.
Something just wasn't adding up when Dr. Mehmet Oz - the current administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid service - tried to explain president Trump's new drug pricing scheme. That something was his brain trying to make sense of pretty simple math. During an interview on the NBC News "Meet the Press" segment on Wednesday, Oz was asked about Trump's absurd claim that he slashed prescription drug prices by up to "1,500 percent" - and completely lost it.
By that point, the Trump administration had already released multiple executive orders declaring certain types of curriculum unconstitutional, detained international students who spoke out against the Israeli government and terminated hundreds of government contracts with research organizations whose projects included words like "biases," "racism" and "women." Perhaps most notably, the president froze federal funding for Columbia University -the Ivy League institution where the Knight Institute is based-for the way officials allegedly mishandled campus protests and antisemitism complaints.
For these members of the administration to treat Congress with such contempt, or to just completely tear apart the White House without consulting with Congress. Not that these Republicans have shown much of a spine anyway, he said. But still, I really do think there are people who are in the and let me say this slowly so they understand the second branch of government who now think they're the only branch of government, because they got elected by, what, 49.9% of the vote?
One day in the future, I hope they gather all the lawyers employed by the two Trump administrations and administer that Scientology test where you hold the two metal things while someone sizes you up for a donation. This is because administering a bar exam to the endless parade of fools and dolts marching out of the Department of Justice in order to do battle with the Constitution, the rule of law, English syntax, and common sense would be like teaching opera to a goat.
The leakers and media are at it again, undermining the President's foreign policy. POTUS says there was no yelling at Zelensky, as the media reported. Zelensky said it was a positive meeting. We have seen the same thing between POTUS and Netanyahu, submitted Levin on Monday night. Someone or some people are relentlessly leaking and undermining President Trump and our allies. The perp or perps must be found out and removed, asap.
The Vice-President, it must be noted, graduated from Yale Law School, where presumably he learned something about what it takes to "violate a crime"-and how behavior that does not rise to the level of criminality can nonetheless be suspicious and blameworthy. The incoming Trump Administration was reportedly alerted to the investigation. It must have realized that a story this odiferous had a high likelihood of being leaked, yet it gave Homan a prominent role.
Beautiful people out there, and it was a love fest, Kerr said. Music playing, everybody marching peacefully. Everyone I saw 100% loves our country. And as is our country's custom, if you don't agree with what your government is doing, then you peacefully protest, and that's how it should be. We are the democracy, we the people.
Chicago's mayor, Brandon Johnson, told the crowd the Trump administration had "decided that they want a rematch of the civil war", which the white supremacist Confederacy lost to the Union in the 19th century. "We are here to stand firm and stand committed that we will not bend, we will not bow, we will not cower, we will not submit," Johnson said. "We do not want troops in our city."
But let us be clear, this moment is not just about one man's greed, one man's corruption or one man's contempt for our Constitution, Sanders said. This is about a handful of the wealthiest people on earth who, in their insatiable greed, have hijacked our economy and our political system in order to enrich themselves at the expense of working families throughout the country.
The lawsuit said the fee, which President Donald Trump put in place with an executive order last month, was "unlawful" and that it would harm American businesses. "The United States is unique in its ability to attract the brightest talent from across the globe. For more than 70 years, what is now known as the H-1B visa program has enabled the United States to harness this magnetic draw," the lawsuit said, adding that as a result of the new fee businesses would have to "dramatically increase their labor costs or hire fewer highly skilled employees for whom domestic replacements are not readily available."
Citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter, the Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump administration has been preparing sweeping changes to the IRS which would allow the agency to pursue criminal inquiries of left-leaning groups more easily. A senior IRS official involved in the effort has drawn up a list of potential targets that includes major Democratic donors, the Journal said, with sources claiming that the administration intended to install allies of the president in the agency's criminal investigation division.
