Donald Trump's administration has already redesigned the federal government's internet presence in the first few days of his second term in office. There is no longer a Spanish-language edition of the White House website. A disclaimer that promised to make it accessible to individuals with impairments has been removed. Additionally, several federal agencies have taken down websites pertaining to diversity and reproductive rights. Some of the missing sections seem to be temporary additions, as it is customary for a new president to update the White House website to reflect the objectives and ideals of their administration. However, other government website removals appear to demonstrate Trump's devotion to right-wing culture war concerns during his second term, as NBC News confirmed using a...

The Trump administration has issued numerous instructions that have halted almost all scientific communication by federal health agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health, until further notice. In a message on Tuesday, Dr. Dorothy Fink, President Donald Trump's acting secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services, directed leaders of all federal health departments to temporarily halt public messaging while a review is conducted. The memo, which was acquired by NBC News, instructs the heads of the Food and Drug Administration, the NIH, and the CDC to hold off on releasing any documents or communications—including press releases and regulations—to the public until they have been examined and authorized by a presidential...

Two days after being released from a federal jail after President Donald Trump granted him and more than 1,500 of the Jan. 6 rioters clemency, former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarriore came home to Miami on Wednesday. Following his landing, Tarrio was met by his loved ones, friends, and a horde of reporters while sporting a black "Make America Great Again" baseball cap. Tarrio remarked, "I think I love my family," before being driven out in a black SUV. At Dallas Love Field Airport, Tarrio informed reporters prior to his trip that his conviction for seditious conspiracy in connection with the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, was a "miscarriage of justice." He told a CBS News reporter, "I wouldn't have been in a position where I needed a pardon if we would have had a fair trial." Despite ...

A fast-moving wildfire flared Wednesday, spreading to over 8,000 acres in a matter of hours, forcing almost 20,000 people to evacuate a region north of Los Angeles, according to officials.

President Donald Trump issued additional executive orders on his third day in office with the goal of closing the southern U.S. border to immigration and increasing deportations, though as of Wednesday afternoon, large-scale deportation sweeps had not yet taken place. Trump signed an executive order that prohibits foreigners involved in an invasion of the United States across the southern border from physically entering the country, according to a White House fact sheet. The directive instructs the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security, and State to take all necessary steps to promptly deter, repatriate, and remove unlawful aliens from the United States' southern border. However, it's still unclear exactly how Trump would stop people from trying to cross. Trump is use every administrat...

Chicago Following the Trump administration's announcement that it would terminate a long-standing policy that prohibited federal immigration authorities from detaining migrants in churches, schools, and hospitals, religious leaders, school administrators, and educators in this sanctuary city declared their intention to defend their communities. Rev. Kenneth Phelps, who has recently provided accommodation and assistance to migrants in Chicago, said, "We feel like it's kind of a war, to be honest." Therefore, rather of waiting for them to attack, we are preparing for it. We're going on the attack and preparing our community members to deal with this. The preparation follows the Department of Homeland Security's announcement on Tuesday that it is discontinuing a policy that limited the abi...

Despite their reputation for wild antics, Buffalo Bills supporters have united to support an opposing player when he received a barrage of hate mail online this week rather than climbing on tables. Mark Andrews, a tight end for the Baltimore Ravens, stumbled and missed a two-point conversion that would have knotted the game in the fourth quarter of Sunday's pivotal playoff game between the Ravens and the Bills. The Bills ultimately prevailed 27–25 and will now play the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC championship game on Sunday. Following the defeat, Andrews looked devastated, and footage showed Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson comforting him. "We're a team," stated Jackson. "It's all of us, bruh, it ain't just you." In interviews after the defeat, Jackson and head coach John Harbaugh both b...
