Student hit by SUV with Trump flag at Nebraska anti-ICE protest, driver fled

Chaos erupted at a student-led anti-ICE protest outside Fremont High School in Nebraska when a red SUV flying a Trump 2024 flag struck a girl participating in the demonstration and then fled the scene, video and local officials say. Dozens of students had gathered in front of the school holding signs and chanting when the vehicle repeatedly drove by before accelerating into the protester, knocking her to the side. She was taken to a hospital, according to emergency responders. School administrators were on site supervising, and lawmakers including Rep. Mike Flood (R-NE) condemned the hit-and-run and called for a full investigation as police continue probing the incident.

Trump warns Iran as US naval 'armada' heads toward Middle East amid rising tensions

President Donald Trump issued a stark threat against Iran Wednesday, warning that a U.S. naval “armada” led by the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln is moving toward the region and could carry out forceful military action if Tehran does not agree to a deal to end its nuclear ambitions — comments coming as the carrier and three accompanying warships arrive in the Middle East amid heightened tensions over Iran’s violent crackdown on nationwide protests and its nuclear program. Trump’s Truth Social warning — citing readiness to act “with speed and violence, if necessary” and claiming the next strike could be “far worse” than last year’s attacks on Iranian nuclear sites — has fueled fears of confrontation even as the Pentagon describes the deployment as a show of strength while offering a path to negotiation.

Trump scrambles to 'de-escalate' as immigration crackdown sparks backlash he can’t control

President Donald Trump is suddenly realizing Democrats have boxed him in over the explosive immigration crackdown in Minnesota, Greg Sargent argued in The New Republic, prompting a cosmetic “pivot” meant to calm outrage without changing anything meaningful. While the White House is leaking talk of cooperation and de-escalation after deadly ICE operations in Minneapolis, Sargent writes that Trump is merely scapegoating one Border Patrol official while protecting everyone else involved — including top DHS leadership — from accountability. The real shift, Sargent notes, isn’t policy but political fear: Democrats are unified, public opinion has turned sharply, and Trump knows they now have leverage to force limits on DHS funding. The result is a frantic attempt to cool tempers and preserve the status quo, even as the fallout from the crackdown grows beyond his ability to manage or spin.

Trump rally in Iowa met with protests as some Trump voters express doubt

At a packed but compact Donald Trump rally in Iowa on the same day he was holding a campaign event in a small auditorium, MS NOW reporter Vaughan Hillyard found some Trump voters openly expressing second thoughts about the former president’s leadership — driven in large part by outrage over the killing of 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents during Operation Metro Surge in neighboring Minnesota. Hillyard described sizable protests outside the venue calling attention to the Minneapolis shooting and related deportation raids, and shared interviews with event attendees who said the aggressive federal response — including multiple shootings that have sparked nationwide condemnation — made them uncomfortable with Trump’s approach.

MAGA influencer sparks explosive feud after attacking GOP lawmaker online

Katie Miller, the MAGA podcaster and wife of White House adviser Stephen Miller, ignited a public political firestorm Tuesday after attempting to discredit a Florida Republican who blamed her husband for Trump’s looming midterm troubles. After state Sen. Ileana Garcia told The New York Times that Stephen Miller could cost Republicans the midterms, Katie Miller fired back on X with claims about Garcia’s past employment — only to be met with a blistering response accusing Miller of racism, internal sabotage at DHS, and even involvement in White House leaks. The escalating clash laid bare long-simmering resentments from Trump’s first term and exposed sharp fractures inside the MAGA coalition.

Top GOP senator mocked after dodging questions on legality of warrantless ICE raids

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) sparked outrage Tuesday after he appeared to feign ignorance when asked whether it’s legal for ICE officers to enter an American’s home without a judicial warrant amid a controversial new enforcement policy that critics say undercuts Fourth Amendment protections. Grassley, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, brushed off the query by saying, “Ask a constitutional lawyer, I’m a farmer,” even as reporting shows internal memos authorize agents to use administrative warrants — not judge-signed warrants — to enter private residences, a shift legal experts have blasted as unconstitutional and reckless amid heightened scrutiny of federal immigration tactics.

Maxwell claims powerful men cut secret Epstein deals as DOJ stalls disclosure

Convicted Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell has reignited the scandal from behind bars, claiming in a new habeas filing that dozens of powerful men quietly secured secret settlements tied to Epstein’s abuse without ever facing charges, according to The Daily Beast. The filing raises fresh questions about why the Justice Department — now led by Attorney General Pam Bondi — continues to delay releasing records mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, even as public pressure mounts. The report spotlights billionaire Trump ally Leon Black’s multimillion-dollar settlement and lack of prosecution, underscoring growing outrage that accountability appears reserved for the expendable while elite figures remain shielded from scrutiny.

Jimmy Kimmel says Trump’s behavior should force GOP to consider 25th Amendment

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel tore into President Donald Trump’s chaotic leadership on Monday’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, questioning how far gone the president must be before Republicans invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him — a dramatic public challenge amid outcry over recent ICE-related shootings, erratic foreign policy talk about Greenland and NATO, and Trump’s fixation on a Nobel Peace Prize. Kimmel’s monologue piled scathing critiques on the administration, stitching together controversial episodes and asking bluntly whether the accumulation of “one atrocity after another” should prompt GOP lawmakers to act on constitutional safeguards meant for an unfit president — a notion increasingly echoed by commentators and media figures.
