A federal appeals court offered a scathing rebuke of the Trump administration’s handling of the deportation of a Maryland resident to a mega-prison in El Salvador. Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen traveled to the CECOT prison to meet with government officials and push for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, but he was denied access. The senator joined Amna Nawaz to discuss more. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
The U.S. government has renewed funding for the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Program, a critical database for tracking cybersecurity flaws, just hours before its funding was set to expire. Established 25 years ago, the CVE program assigns unique identifiers to security vulnerabilities, facilitating consistent communication across the cybersecurity landscape. The renewal of funding comes amid concerns that without it, new vulnerabilities could go untracked, posing risks to national security and critical infrastructure. In response to the funding uncertainty, two initiatives emerged: the CVE Foundation, a nonprofit aimed at ensuring the program's independence, and the Global CVE Allocation System, a decentralized platform introduced by the European Union.In addition to the CVE funding situation, Oregon Senator Ron Wyden has blocked the nomination of Sean Planky to lead the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) due to the agency's refusal to release a crucial unclassified report from 2022. This report details security issues within U.S. telecommunications companies, which Wyden claims represent a multi-year cover-up of negligent cybersecurity practices. The senator argues that the public deserves access to this information, especially in light of recent cyber threats, including the SALT typhoon hack that compromised sensitive communications.The cybersecurity landscape is further complicated by significant layoffs at CISA, which could affect nearly 40% of its workforce, potentially weakening U.S. national security amid rising cyber threats. Recent cuts have already impacted critical personnel, including threat hunters, which could hinder the agency's ability to share vital threat intelligence with the private sector. Meanwhile, the Defense Digital Service at the Pentagon is facing a mass resignation of nearly all its staff, following pressure from the Department of Government Efficiency, which could effectively shut down the program designed to accelerate technology adoption during national security crises.On the technology front, OpenAI has released new AI reasoning models, O3 and O4 Mini, but notably did not provide a safety report for the new GPT-4.1 model, raising concerns about transparency and accountability in AI development. The lack of a safety report is particularly alarming as AI systems become more integrated into client-facing tools. Additionally, SolarWinds Corporation has been acquired by Ternerva Capital, prompting managed service providers (MSPs) to reassess their dependencies on SolarWinds products and consider the implications for product roadmaps and support guarantees.

In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we're diving into the high-stakes pretrial hearing of Bryan Kohberger—the man accused in the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students. With defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis joining the discussion, we break down the court's latest rulings and what they mean for the prosecution, the defense, and the jury that's set to hear this nationally watched case. From Amazon purchase histories to cell tower data, we're laying out the chessboard as both sides gear up for one of the most anticipated trials of the decade. We examine the evidence that will—and won't—be shown to jurors, including a 911 call from the crime scene, a 3D model of the murder house, and a contested eyewitness description of a man with “bushy eyebrows.” Plus, we tackle the question of whether Kohberger's autism can legally factor into a potential death sentence, and the pressure his defense team faces in choosing whether or not to put him on the stand to support his stargazing alibi. Every decision made in this courtroom shapes the story the jury will be told—and we're unpacking it all. Whether you've been closely following the Bryan Kohberger case or are just jumping in, this episode delivers an expert breakdown of what's fact, what's still in limbo, and how the battle over pretrial evidence is setting the tone for what's to come.

This Day in Legal History: Seventeenth AmendmentOn April 8, 1913, the Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was officially ratified, transforming the way U.S. senators are selected. Prior to this amendment, senators were chosen by state legislatures, a system intended by the framers to preserve state influence within the federal government. However, by the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this process had become widely criticized for being undemocratic and vulnerable to corruption, deadlocks, and backroom political deals.Progressive Era reformers pushed for change, arguing that direct election by the people would make senators more accountable and reduce the influence of powerful political machines. After years of public pressure and legislative debate, the Seventeenth Amendment was passed by Congress in 1912 and ratified by the necessary number of states the following year.The amendment mandates that senators be elected by the voters of each state, aligning the Senate more closely with democratic ideals already applied to the House of Representatives. It also established procedures for handling vacancies through temporary gubernatorial appointments followed by special elections.The ratification marked a major victory for advocates of electoral reform and remains one of the most significant changes to the structure of American democracy since the founding. It reshaped the relationship between the federal government and the people, moving power away from state political elites and toward the electorate.Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into WK Kellogg over claims that the company may be misleading consumers by advertising some of its cereals as “healthy.” The probe focuses on popular products like Froot Loops, Apple Jacks, and Frosted Flakes, which the state alleges contain petroleum-based artificial colorings linked to health issues such as hyperactivity and obesity. Paxton criticized the company for continuing to use these dyes in U.S. products while removing them from versions sold in Canada and Europe. He argued that it is deceptive to market cereals containing such ingredients as healthy. WK Kellogg has not yet commented on the investigation.Texas opens probe into WK Kellogg over health claims | ReutersPresident Donald Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to pause a federal judge's order requiring the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a legally present Salvadoran man who was wrongfully deported to El Salvador. The Justice Department argued that the lower court overstepped its authority and that the U.S. cannot guarantee swift results in international negotiations, especially under tight deadlines. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis had found no legal basis for Abrego Garcia's arrest or removal and ordered his return by 11:59 p.m. Monday, calling his deportation "wholly lawless."Abrego Garcia had previously won a 2019 court order protecting him from deportation due to threats from gangs in El Salvador. Despite this, he was deported on March 15 after being stopped and questioned by ICE. The administration claims he is affiliated with MS-13, but no charges have been filed, and his attorneys deny the allegation. The Supreme Court filing contends that while deporting him to El Salvador was a procedural error, the removal itself was lawful. The case is part of broader legal challenges to the Trump administration's aggressive immigration tactics and its attempts to sidestep judicial checks on deportation practices.Trump asks US Supreme Court to pause order to return man deported to El Salvador in error | ReutersA U.S. appeals court has blocked President Donald Trump from removing two Democratic members of federal labor boards, reversing a previous decision and restoring legal protections for their positions. The D.C. Circuit Court, in a 7-4 vote, reinstated lower court rulings that barred Trump from firing Gwynne Wilcox of the National Labor Relations Board and Cathy Harris of the Merit Systems Protection Board. The court reaffirmed long-standing laws that only allow such removals for neglect, malfeasance, or inefficiency—not at-will.Trump's administration argued that these protections infringe on presidential authority, and plans to appeal, potentially setting up a Supreme Court showdown. If the high court agrees to hear the case, it could revisit decades-old precedent that preserves agency independence, with potential ripple effects on bodies like the Federal Reserve and Federal Trade Commission.The judges noted that Wilcox and Harris's roles primarily involve adjudicating individual cases, not shaping executive policy, making them constitutionally protected from political dismissal. Without them, the boards would be paralyzed, with thousands of pending employee appeals left unresolved. This legal fight is part of Trump's broader effort to exert more control over independent federal agencies, a push that critics say threatens the checks and balances built into administrative law.US appeals court blocks Trump from removing Democrats from labor boards | Reuters This is a public episode.

We've got to get back to sound money and just compete on the world stage,” urges Utah Rep. Ken Ivory. In this exclusive interview with Daniela Cambone, Rep. Ivory discusses the groundbreaking HB306 bill, which, if passed, would make Utah the first state in the U.S. to allow vendor payments in gold.The bill passed unanimously in the House and secured strong support in the Senate, yet it was vetoed by Gov. Spencer Cox. Despite this setback, Rep. Ivory remains optimistic: “Every Republican, every Democrat voted for it in the House, and 25 out of 29 senators voted for it in the Senate. Those are veto-proof majorities. So why he would veto it is really kind of inexplicable.”Beyond HB306, Rep. Ivory warns of the nation's growing debt crisis and advocates for a return to sound money.

Today's Headlines: Senator Cory Booker set a new record for the longest Senate speech at 25 hours, surpassing Strom Thurmond's filibuster against civil rights. In election news, Republicans won both Florida special elections, though by smaller margins than Trump's 2024 victory. A Washington Post report revealed that members of Trump's National Security Council used personal Gmail accounts for sensitive military discussions. Meanwhile, 23 states and D.C. are suing the administration over its attempt to cut $11 billion in COVID-era federal funding. A federal appeals court blocked Trump's transgender military ban while the case continues. The administration admitted to mistakenly deporting a Maryland resident with legal status to El Salvador and claims courts lack jurisdiction to order his return. An Indiana University cybersecurity professor mysteriously disappeared following an FBI raid. Princeton University saw multiple federal grants suspended, and Trump's administration struck a deal with law firm Wilkie Farr & Gallagher, requiring $100 million in pro bono services. Finally, Attorney General Pam Bondi will seek the death penalty for Luigi Mangione if convicted of murdering United Healthcare's CEO.

This Day in Legal History: MA Enacts Anti-Vietnam War LegislationOn April 2, 1970, Massachusetts enacted a bold piece of legislation challenging the U.S. government's involvement in the Vietnam War. The law stated that no resident of Massachusetts, whether inducted or already serving in the military, could be compelled to participate in armed hostilities abroad unless Congress had formally declared war under Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the Constitution. At the time, the Vietnam War had escalated significantly without such a formal declaration, raising widespread constitutional concerns. This state-level defiance of federal military policy was one of the clearest legal confrontations to emerge from domestic antiwar sentiment during the era.Supporters of the law aimed to provoke a judicial review of the war's legality by forcing the issue into the courts. The ultimate hope was that the U.S. Supreme Court would accept the case and directly address whether the war was unconstitutional due to the lack of a Congressional declaration. However, the Court declined to exercise original jurisdiction, a move that disappointed advocates but was consistent with the Court's cautious approach to politically sensitive war powers questions. The case was instead relegated to the lower federal courts, where it lost much of its political and legal momentum.This episode underscored the tension between state sovereignty and federal authority, especially in areas of foreign policy and military engagement. It also highlighted the ongoing ambiguity surrounding the War Powers Clause and the separation of powers between Congress and the executive branch. Although the Massachusetts law was largely symbolic and never led to a judicial rebuke of the Vietnam War, it marked a significant moment in the legal resistance to undeclared wars.Willkie Farr & Gallagher has agreed to commit at least $100 million in pro bono legal services supporting causes aligned with conservative ideals, according to a public announcement by President Trump. This move follows similar flagrant displays of cowardice by other major law firms, Paul Weiss and Skadden, in the face of Trump's recent executive orders targeting firms based on political associations and past legal work. The deal allows Willkie to avoid a potentially damaging executive order by committing to initiatives like supporting veterans, promoting fairness in the justice system, and fighting antisemitism.Willkie's leadership acknowledged the difficult nature of the decision in a firmwide email, saying they evaluated the risks of resistance versus cooperation and ultimately chose to protect the firm's interests and stakeholders. The firm also pledged to uphold laws on employment practices, maintain bipartisan client representation, and continue work for underrepresented groups. Trump emphasized that Willkie will commit to “merit-based hiring” and avoid what he called “illegal DEI discrimination,” with the firm agreeing to outside legal oversight for compliance.Doug Emhoff, a partner at Willkie and husband of former Vice President Kamala Harris, reportedly opposed the deal and urged leadership to resist. Just before the announcement, Emhoff warned students at Georgetown Law that democracy and the rule of law are under threat, and that lawyers must defend both.Trump Strikes Deal With Willkie, Law Firm of Doug Emhoff (2)Doug Emhoff's law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher reaches deal with Trump | ReutersA federal judge has dismissed the U.S. Justice Department's corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams with prejudice, meaning the charges cannot be filed again. Judge Dale Ho rejected the DOJ's request for a dismissal without prejudice, citing concerns that leaving the case open could make Adams appear beholden to the Trump administration, especially on immigration enforcement. The decision aligns with an independent legal opinion commissioned by the court, which warned that the threat of reindictment could create the perception that Adams' actions were motivated by federal pressure rather than public service.The original charges accused Adams of accepting illegal contributions and favors from Turkish officials, but Adams pleaded not guilty and maintained that the case was politically motivated retaliation for his criticism of President Biden's immigration policies. In a surprising turn, the Trump administration backed Adams, arguing the prosecution interfered with his re-election efforts and hindered cooperation on deportation efforts.The case became a political flashpoint in the run-up to the November mayoral election, with Adams facing low approval ratings and a field of Democratic challengers, including former Governor Andrew Cuomo. Multiple prosecutors resigned rather than follow the DOJ directive to drop the case, raising concerns about politicization within the department. Judge Ho's ruling effectively ends the legal battle but leaves lingering questions about Justice Department independence and the political forces behind the case.NYC Mayor Eric Adams' corruption case dismissed, cannot be brought again | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday in a major case that could determine whether South Carolina can block Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funds. The state, led by Republican officials, wants to exclude the organization from the Medicaid program because it provides abortions, even though federal funds cannot be used for abortion services. At issue is whether Medicaid recipients have the right to sue states under federal law to access care from any qualified provider, including Planned Parenthood.The case stems from a 2018 decision by South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, who ordered Planned Parenthood's removal from the state's Medicaid program. The organization and a patient sued under an 1871 civil rights law, arguing that the move violated patients' rights to choose their healthcare providers. Lower courts sided with the plaintiffs, and the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that South Carolina's actions were unlawful.Planned Parenthood clinics in South Carolina offer a range of services to Medicaid patients, including cancer screenings, contraception, and general health exams. The state, supported by the Trump administration and represented by the conservative legal group Alliance Defending Freedom, contends that the Medicaid law does not grant individuals the right to sue.The Supreme Court has addressed elements of this dispute before but has not yet ruled on the key legal question: whether Medicaid enrollees can challenge states that exclude providers for political or ideological reasons. A decision is expected by June.US Supreme Court mulls South Carolina's effort to defund Planned Parenthood | ReutersA federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from carrying out mass firings of federal employees still in their probationary period, ruling that the government must follow established procedures for large-scale layoffs. The case stems from the administration's February dismissal of about 24,500 workers without prior notice to states or local governments. U.S. District Judge James Bredar in Maryland found the move likely violated federal law and ordered that only those employees living or working in the 19 suing states and Washington, D.C. must be reinstated.This decision narrows an earlier, broader ruling and will remain in effect while the lawsuit continues. The plaintiffs, led by Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown, argue the firings were politically motivated and part of a broader effort to dismantle the federal workforce. While the administration claims poor performance was behind the dismissals, the judge noted that probationary status alone doesn't justify bypassing legal protections.The Trump administration has appealed the decision, arguing Bredar overstepped his authority. An appellate court has so far declined to pause the ruling. The case highlights growing tension between the Trump administration's push to reshape the federal government and the legal limits on executive power over civil service employment.US judge blocks Trump administration from firing federal employees on probation | ReutersPresident Trump is expected to announce a sweeping new set of tariffs today at 4 p.m. ET, but no one seems to know exactly what the nut job in chief has in store. Speculation is rampant, with previous threats including 200% duties on European alcohol imports, and reports suggesting a possible 20% universal tariff. Businesses, investors, and world leaders are on edge, bracing for what could be a dramatic escalation in global trade tensions.Confusion reigns across industries—from winemakers in Spain who feel caught in a trade war they never asked for, to U.S. auto suppliers now recalculating their costs under layered tariffs that could exceed 50%. Manufacturing data shows signs of contraction, and fears of stagflation are emerging. Stocks are slipping, gold is surging, and key trading partners like the EU, Mexico, and Canada are preparing potential countermeasures. Trump, meanwhile, has dubbed today “Liberation Day,” further muddying the policy waters.With the exact scope and structure of the duties still unknown, the only certainty right now is uncertainty.Trump Tariffs Live: Global stock market and trade war fears as April 2 announcement looms | Reuters This is a public episode.

This Day in Legal History: Civilian Conservation Corps Created by FDROn this day in legal history, March 31, 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Senate Bill S. 598, creating the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) as part of his sweeping New Deal agenda. The CCC was a rapid-response effort to the economic devastation of the Great Depression, designed to provide immediate employment to young, unemployed men. Within weeks of its creation, the program began enrolling thousands, ultimately putting over 3 million men to work during its nine-year run.The CCC operated under the Department of Labor, War Department, and Department of Agriculture, reflecting its blend of social welfare, environmental stewardship, and federal coordination. Workers were paid $30 per month, $25 of which was sent home to support their families—a vital lifeline during a time of widespread poverty. Projects included reforestation, flood control, soil erosion prevention, and the construction of trails and facilities in national and state parks.Legally, the CCC represented an expansion of federal authority into economic and environmental realms, and it raised constitutional questions about the scope of executive power during peacetime. While the Supreme Court would later strike down some New Deal programs, the CCC escaped judicial invalidation, in part due to its voluntary nature and its framing as a public works program rather than a federal jobs guarantee.The CCC's legal structure helped shape future federal employment and environmental programs, and it laid the groundwork for later conservation efforts like the Soil Conservation Service and aspects of the Environmental Protection Agency. March 31, 1933, thus marks not just the birth of a New Deal agency, but a foundational moment in the legal history of federal labor and environmental law.The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case brought by the Catholic Charities Bureau, a nonprofit linked to the Catholic Diocese of Superior, Wisconsin, seeking a religious exemption from the state's unemployment insurance tax. The group, along with four of its subsidiaries, argues that the state's denial of the exemption violates the First Amendment's protections for religious freedom and church autonomy. Wisconsin law allows such exemptions only for organizations "operated primarily for religious purposes," a standard the state Supreme Court ruled the charities failed to meet due to their primarily secular social service work.The Catholic Charities Bureau, founded in 1917, provides services like job placement and home visits for people with disabilities but does not require employees or service recipients to be Catholic. After one of its affiliates was granted an exemption in a separate case, the Bureau and other affiliates sought similar treatment in 2016. The Wisconsin Supreme Court's 2024 decision upheld the tax requirement, stating the group's activities were charitable rather than religious.The case has broader implications for how courts distinguish between religious and secular work, with critics warning that a ruling in favor of the charities could allow large religiously affiliated organizations to bypass many government regulations, jeopardizing benefits for hundreds of thousands of workers. The decision is expected by the end of June. The Court is also set to hear a related case on April 30 concerning a proposed taxpayer-funded religious charter school in Oklahoma.US Supreme Court to hear Catholic group's bid for Wisconsin unemployment tax exemption | ReutersCatholic Charities Case Poised to Shape Religious Tax ExemptionsTwo federal judges have temporarily blocked major parts of executive orders issued by President Donald Trump targeting law firms Jenner & Block and WilmerHale, which had been involved in legal efforts against his administration. The firms sued the Trump administration, arguing that the orders violated constitutional protections of free expression and due process. U.S. District Judge John Bates criticized Trump's order against Jenner & Block as “reprehensible,” especially for targeting the firm's pro bono work on behalf of immigrants and transgender individuals. He warned the order threatened the firm's existence by aiming to cancel its clients' federal contracts and restrict access to federal facilities and courts.In a separate ruling, Judge Richard Leon blocked similar provisions in the order against WilmerHale, calling it retaliatory and a threat to the public interest and justice system. However, he allowed a clause suspending the firm's security clearances to stand. Trump has signed orders targeting five law firms to date, and several—including Perkins Coie—have already challenged them in court with partial success.Meanwhile, law firms Skadden Arps and Paul Weiss reached deals with the White House to avoid being targeted. Skadden agreed to provide $100 million in pro bono legal work and implement merit-based hiring, while Paul Weiss pledged $40 million toward mutually agreed causes. The executive orders mainly cited the firms' past involvement in investigations into Trump, especially the Mueller probe. Critics argue the orders are politically motivated attempts to punish opposition and intimidate legal advocates.Judges block Trump orders targeting two law firms as Skadden cuts deal | ReutersTwo labor agency officials fired by President Donald Trump—Gwynne Wilcox of the National Labor Relations Board and Cathy Harris of the Merit Systems Protection Board—will not be immediately reinstated, following a decision by a divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The court declined to pause its earlier order that temporarily blocked lower court rulings which had reinstated the officials. Judges Karen Henderson and Justin Walker sided with the administration, while Judge Patricia Millett dissented.This legal battle tests the limits of presidential authority to remove officials from independent agencies, despite statutory protections meant to insulate them from political pressure. While trial courts previously ruled the firings were unlawful, the appeals court has halted those decisions from taking effect for now. The panel's latest order did not include an explanation of its reasoning.Wilcox and Harris may still ask the full D.C. Circuit to reconsider the panel's ruling, but Sunday's denial of an administrative stay could influence their next steps. Meanwhile, a broader decision on whether Congress can limit the president's power to fire certain agency officials is expected to be taken up in oral arguments scheduled for May 16. The issue could eventually reach the U.S. Supreme Court, given its potential to reshape the balance of power between the executive branch and independent federal agencies.Fired Agency Officials Lose Attempt at Immediate ReinstatementFrench antitrust regulators fined Apple €150 million (about $162.4 million) for abusing its dominant market position through its App Tracking Transparency (ATT) tool, marking the first time any regulator has penalized the company over this feature. The ATT tool, introduced by Apple on iPhones and iPads, allows users to control which apps can track their activity. While Apple framed it as a privacy measure, digital advertisers and mobile gaming companies argued it made advertising more difficult and disproportionately impacted smaller publishers reliant on third-party data.The French Competition Authority found that while privacy protection is a legitimate goal, Apple's implementation of ATT was neither necessary nor proportionate and unfairly favored its own services. The decision followed complaints from several advertising and media associations, who hailed the ruling as a major win for their industries.Despite the fine, Apple is not currently required to change the tool's design. However, regulators emphasized that it is Apple's responsibility to ensure compliance going forward. Apple, expressing disappointment with the decision, noted that investigations into ATT are ongoing in other European countries including Germany, Italy, Poland, and Romania.Apple hit with $162 million French antitrust fine over privacy tool | Reuters This is a public episode.

So many women say they've done the inner work—but still feel stuck, disconnected, or blocked from their creativity and full potential. In this episode, Elvira and I break down why: we've inherited generational trauma that conditioned us to shut down our Divine Feminine energy—our creativity, intuition, softness, and emotional expression—in order to survive.We talk about how being forced into masculine energy—always doing, fixing, and protecting—has made it hard for many of us to access rest, trust, and inner guidance. We reflect on our own family stories and the ways this imbalance shows up in motherhood, relationships, and how we react to life.This isn't about surface-level “feminine” trends. It's about how survival mode becomes our default, and how healing that disconnection is key to breaking generational patterns.Inside this episode:– Why women still feel emotionally disconnected after years of healing– How generational trauma teaches us to shut down creativity, softness, and trust– The difference between intuition and emotional reactivity– How the feminine was suppressed in our lineage and what it looked like in our homes– What reconnecting with the Divine Feminine feels like in daily life– How practices like Kundalini Yoga, meditation, and A Course in Miracles help rebuild that connection– Why Divine Feminine healing matters just as much for men as it does for womenThis conversation is for women who are tired of holding it all together while feeling disconnected inside.Reclaiming the Divine Feminine isn't about becoming someone new—it's about returning to what trauma made us suppress:your right to feel deeply, to create freely, to rest without guilt, and to trust your inner knowing.If this episode resonates, share it or leave a comment.

Today's Headlines: The ceasefire in Gaza has officially collapsed after months of stalled negotiations. The IDF launched widespread strikes, while the U.S. blamed Hamas for rejecting past proposals and refusing to return hostages. Meanwhile, Trump and Putin's highly anticipated call resulted in a 30-day ceasefire on energy infrastructure in Ukraine and Russia, suspension of U.S. aid to Ukraine, and negotiations for a maritime ceasefire. The Kremlin also claimed they discussed hosting a U.S.-Russia hockey series. At the same time, the Trump administration terminated a U.S.-funded initiative tracking Russian war crimes, including the deportation of Ukrainian children. Trump faced rare criticism from Chief Justice John Roberts for calling for a judge's impeachment after a ruling against his deportation policy. Separately, a federal judge blocked Elon Musk's attempt to shut down USAID, ruling it unconstitutional, and another judge ordered the Department of Education to restore grants cut during the administration's DEI purge. In a controversial move, Trump fired two Democratic members of the FTC, who argue the decision was illegal. And finally, NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore returned to Earth after an unplanned nine-month stay on the ISS due to a failed test flight.

Today's Headlines: Donald Trump gave a speech at the Department of Justice, railing against the media, vowing "accountability" for his enemies, and bragging about firing James Comey and pardoning January 6 defendants. Attorney General Pam Bondi warns that anyone messing with Tesla better "watch out" because the DOJ is coming for them. Trump also invoked the rarely used Alien Enemies Act to deport five Venezuelan nationals he claimed were gang members, but a federal judge temporarily blocked their removal after the administration had already deported 250 other supposed gang members before the ruling took effect. Meanwhile, a judge put a hold on part of Trump's executive order targeting law firm Perkins Coie for its role in 2016 opposition research and Citibank revealed it was asked to freeze funds for nonprofits like Habitat for Humanity due to alleged criminal concerns tied to EPA grants.
