Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) on Thursday offered a blunt assessment of the Trump administration's immigration enforcement tactics.

President Donald Trump is desperately looking for excuses to back down from his hostile position against Iran, former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum told MSNBC's Alicia Menendez on Thursday, because although he loves wielding power, he is terrified of having to use it in situations like this — and cannot be trusted to use it for the public good.

The comments from Frum, a frequent critic of the administration, come as Trump has reportedly already signed off on an attack against Iran, but is holding off on giving the final order.

An abandoned airport in the middle of Florida's Everglades could soon become a facility to house undocumented immigrants.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a video posted on X that the 39-acre plot of land could house as many as 1,000 immigrants within the next two months. He dubbed the facility "alligator Alcatraz" because the abandoned airport is surrounded by alligators and pythons.

President Donald Trump released a statement through his press secretary on Thursday that he would have a plan for the Iran-Israel conflict in "two weeks." Former U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) quipped on MSNBC that Trump made the same comment with several policy promises.

President Donald Trump's reluctance to pull the final trigger on a bombing campaign in Iran comes in part from skepticism of his own military experts, The Guardian reported on Thursday.

Thousands of Americans die each year from asbestos-related diseases, including mesothelioma—a toll that prompted the Biden administration to ban the carcinogenic substance, long used in roofing materials and auto parts. Now, President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency is moving to reconsider that ban, despite years of advocacy aimed at preventing such deaths.

In the five months that Trump has been in office, ”his administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been on a deregulation spree,” Fast Company reports. “So far, the agency’s leaders have expressed interest in rolling back regulations around ‘forever chemicals,’ or PFAS; reversing a cornerstone finding that greenhouse gases are dangerous for public health; and weakening enforcement of coal ash regulations.”

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said it is "unreasonable" for some NATO countries to meet U.S. President Donald Trump's demands that they increase their defense spending to 5% of GDP, comments that could derail an international summit intended to appease the American president.

Sanchez's comments come about one week before NATO allies are scheduled to meet in The Hague to discuss American support for its European allies. Trump has previously said he won't protect NATO countries that don't spend at least 5% of their GDP on defense, even though the NATO constitution requires collective defense of countries when they are attacked.

"If you have an issue with a legislator, your city councilman, your mayor, anyone like that, the appropriate thing to do is to reach out to them for a phone call to set up a meeting at one of our district offices."
