President Donald Trump’s lawyers scored big on Friday when a Texas-based appeals court allowed officials to hold arrested migrants in detention so their migration cases can be quickly decided. “ENORMOUS Immigration win for President Trump,” said Eric Wessen, the Solicitor General in Iowa’s Attorney General’s Office. He added: The Fifth Circuit, the first federal court to address President Trump’s expedited removal efforts, sides with the administration. Illegal aliens may be detained and removed!

The crucial votes to fund the government last week were brokered in Speaker Mike Johnson’s ceremonial office just off the House floor. But the groundwork to get the $1.6 trillion spending package through the chamber was laid in a literal smoke-filled room just steps away. That would be the domain of Rep. Tom Cole, the 76-year-old cigar-and-whiskey-loving chair of the House Appropriations Committee. Inside that haunt, the Oklahoman took an unabashedly old-school approach over the course of months to getting the congressional funding process unstuck after a record-long, 43-day shutdown last year. “That’s not actually an office — it’s a…

On Friday’s broadcast of C-SPAN’s “Ceasefire,” John Sandweg, who served as acting ICE Director under President Obama, said that, eventually, things in Minneapolis reached a situation where “it was crazy, ICE agents going out there and groups following them and whistles blowing everywhere. You can’t do any enforcement in an environment like that.” Sandweg said that there is a way to do law enforcement in a sanctuary like Minneapolis without things getting as chaotic as they have, and some of the fault for the situation is on how the federal government has handled things. He added, “I think we’re all better…

The crises have paralyzed growth and resulted in a significant GDP shortfall, the German Economic Institute has said Germany has lost more than $1 trillion in GDP output over the past six years as successive crises pushed the economy into prolonged stagnation, according to the German Economic Institute (IW).A study released on Saturday cited the Covid-19 pandemic, the Ukraine conflict, and US tariff policies as the main drivers of the losses.The IW compared Germany’s pre-crisis 2019 economic trajectory with hypothetical growth absent pandemics and geopolitical shocks against actual real GDP performance from 2020 to 2025.The institute estimated the shortfall in…

On Friday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Balance of Power,” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) stated that there will “need to be a waiver to address any particular concerns about doxxing” to any restrictions on ICE agents wearing masks, but local police in her state never wore masks. Co-host Joe Mathieu asked, “Senator, I don’t know how much of this is bluster at the outset of a controversial or a difficult negotiation, but it sounds like Democrats and Republicans are oceans apart on these ideas. Does DHS shut down next week?” Shaheen answered, “Well, that’s what the negotiation is about. And, with respect…

The following content is sponsored by the Council for a Safe & Secure Retirement. For too long, America’s retirement system has worked for the few, not the many. Wall Street insiders, wealthy elites, and big public pension funds have built wealth via the private markets – private equity, private credit, and real estate. Meanwhile, hardworking Americans are told to stay in their lane. If you work a regular job and save through a 401(k), you are effectively shut out from greater choice and investment access for your well-earned money. That’s not an accident. Elites – like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) – don’t…
