Nidia Montenegro fled violence and poverty at home in Venezuela, survived a kidnapping as she traveled north into Mexico, and made it to the border city of Tijuana on Sunday for a U.S. asylum appointment that would finally reunite her with her son living in New York. That appointment is now canceled.

As they refreshed the app, an alert came through: "Existing...

Williams, who was found guilty of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act for blocking access to an abortion clinic in 2020, was in the process of appealing appealing her sentence of 41 months in prison. Williams was specifically accused of blocking entrance to an abortion business and preventing a volunteer from entering. As she blocked the door, according to the court, a staff member tried to open for the volunteer, and Williams leaned against...

A stunned migrant woman wailed in anguish at the southern border after President Trump shuttered an app that made it easier for migrants to cross into the US.

President George Washington took the very first oath of office as the nation’s Commander-in-Chief on April 27, 1789, and since then, America’s inaugural ceremonies have grown, evolved, and rolled with the punches. On Friday, President Donald Trump announced that his inaugural ceremony on January 20, 2025, would be moved indoors to the Capitol Rotunda, due to harsh Arctic weather and parallel concerns about the safety of all attending the celebration. He wrote, “The various Dignitaries and Guests will be brought into the Capitol. This will be a very beautiful experience for all, and especially for the large TV audience!” While...

WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump will take the oath of office from inside the Capitol Rotunda on Monday due to forecasts of intense cold weather. * * * The swearing-in was last moved indoors in 1985, when President Ronald Reagan began his second term. Monday’s forecast calls for the lowest Inauguration Day temperatures since that day.

Steve Bannon unloaded on Elon Musk, calling him a “truly evil guy” who must be run out of the MAGA movement. Musk spent more than a quarter of a million dollars to help return President-elect Donald Trump to the White House. The billionaire Tesla CEO and owner of X has been a fixture at Mar-a-Lago ever since, with some reports indicating Musk’s near-constant presence is wearing on Trump. “I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” Bannon, a former Trump White House adviser, told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera in an interview published on Wednesday....

Greenland Prime Minister Mute Egede said on Friday he was ready to speak with US President-elect Donald Trump, who has said he wants control over the Arctic island, and urged respect for the island’s independence aspirations. Trump, who takes office on Jan. 20, has described US control of Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory, as an “absolute necessity.” He did not dismiss the potential use of military or economic means, including tariffs against Denmark. At a Copenhagen press conference, when asked if he had had contact with Trump, Egede responded: “No, but we are ready to talk.” Danish Prime Minister Mette...

The 20th can't get here soon enough.

With less than two weeks remaining before his triumphant return to the Oval Office, Trump is already making big moves, including declaring that the Gulf of Mexico will be renamed the Gulf of America. What other new names does he have up his sleeve? The Babylon Bee has obtained the following list of other things Trump plans to rename: All USB ports in the country will be renamed "USA Ports": Only patriotic connections for electronic devices from now on. The Statue of Liberty will now be "Lady Melania": The only proper name for the biggest, most beautiful woman in the...

Projection is blaming someone else for your own bad behavior. We saw a classic case of projection in Thursday’s presidential debate, when President Biden—who is overseeing annual budget deficits of $2 trillion—asserted that his predecessor, Donald Trump, added more to the federal debt than anyone else. It’s part of the latest leftist argument: that if Trump wins the election, he will run deficits twice as large as Biden would. Debate moderator Jake Tapper joined the chorus of federal finance falsehoods when he claimed Trump had “approved $8.4 trillion in new debt,” while Biden’s actions will increase the debt by (merely)...

Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees might seem alarming to Democrats, but their plans to dismantle government bureaucracy are far more difficult to execute than they claim. Bill O'Reilly tells NewsNation's "CUOMO" that Trump just wants people in his Cabinet that will do exactly as he tells them to do.

Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr. walk into an arena ... No punch line here -- just punches -- as the President-elect returned to the site of his pre-election rally, and brought some famous buddies! The soon-to-be 47th U.S. President, flanked by close friend Dana White, walked to his Octagon-side seat with Elon and Bobby, as well as Musk's DOGE's partner, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard, DJT's pick for Director of National Intelligence, and Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.

President-Elect Donald Trump’s landslide victory moved 48 states to the right, according to Associated Press data. The shift represents the biggest move to the right since Ronald Reagan won in 2980. “Democrats didn’t just lose badly,” Axios reported Friday. “They lost to a convicted felon they ridiculed as a racist, misogynistic fascist — and an existential threat to democracy.” Early data shows Trump performed very well among demographics that typically leaned towards Democrats, Axios detailed: One in three voters of color voted for Trump. Trump increased his support with Hispanic voters by double digits compared to 2020. Trump carried Hispanic...
