Trump supporter with history of violent threats fails to report to prison, instead flees

Abigail Shry, a Trump supporter with a history of making violent and racist threats, fled after failing to report to a federal correctional facility in Tallahassee, Florida. Shry pleaded guilty last November to threatening U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan after the judge was assigned to oversee Trump's federal election interference case. She warned the judge: "If Trump doesn't get elected in 2024, we're coming to kill you. So tread lightly." Shry also allegedly threatened to kill then-Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and her family. A federal judge in Houston has issued a warrant for her arrest. In 2023, Shry threatened an armed attack on the Texas Capitol if Attorney General Ken Paxton were impeached, stating: "We will take weapons, come to Austin, and annihilate the government."

Judge loses patience with Trump for not returning slavery exhibit

Federal Judge Cynthia Rufe showed frustration after the Trump administration failed to comply with her order to return a slavery exhibit to a museum at the site of George Washington's former home in Philadelphia. In her initial Monday ruling, Rufe invoked George Orwell's dystopian novel "1984," warning against allowing the government to "dissemble and disassemble historical truths." She stated, "As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984 now existed, with its motto 'Ignorance is Strength,' this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims—to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts," she said, adding it does not. After the Trump administration appealed without complying, Rufe issued a late-Wednesday ruling setting a Friday deadline for restoration, emphasizing her court's authority to enforce its own orders.

Analyst reacts to Karoline Leavitt exposing Trump plot

Democratic analyst Adam Mockler criticized President Trump's Board of Peace initiative after press secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed Trump will oversee a $5 billion investment to rebuild Gaza. Mockler described the revelation as "absolutely sickening," noting that Trump is now "essentially currently the President of the Gaza Strip, even though he can't even manage the United States." He characterized the board as the "de facto ruler of the Gaza Strip." Mockler pointed out that Trump's previous peace deal between Israel and Gaza collapsed within a day, with Hamas continuing violence and Israel pursuing strikes, starvation tactics, and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, all while conducting illegal settlements in the West Bank. Mockler continued, emphasizing Israel has not been reined in and the Gaza war has not officially ended, only "slowed down to a halt."

Jen Psaki giddy as Trump plans to send 'nightmare' Cabinet on campaign trail

Trump is considering an unconventional midterm strategy after his top political advisers met at a private Capitol Hill Club to discuss campaign plans.

She criticized Vice President JD Vance as a potential surrogate, noting his awkward demeanor and history of being booed at public events, including the Olympics opening ceremony in Milan. Psaki also mocked Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr., highlighting an official HHS video featuring him and musician Kid Rock exercising in a sauna, cold plunging in jeans, and drinking whole milk in a hot tub. She characterized these Cabinet members as ineffective campaign surrogates for reaching voters in competitive districts.
