A federal appeals court issued a divided decision on Tuesday, instructing a lower-court judge in Maryland to throw out a lawsuit brought by Democratic state attorneys general against the Trump administration for mass layoffs of federal employees.

According to The Washington Post, the three judge panel for the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit "had been asked by the federal government to weigh the appropriateness of a preliminary injunction issued in April by U.S. District Judge James K. Bredar that instructed the Trump administration to rehire the fired probationary workers and proceed with their terminations only if they are done legally — including abiding by a federal procedure that requires states affected by mass layoffs to receive a 60-day warning, which the Trump administration did not initially give."

Although libertarians and never-Trump conservatives often attack President Donald Trump and the MAGA movement as extreme, white nationalist Nick Fuentes is criticizing MAGA and the second Trump administration for being too moderate.

Fuentes accused then-Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) of betraying the white race by marrying an Indian-American woman, Usha Vance. A far-right Catholic, Fuentes has also called for a modern-day version of the Spanish Inquisition. Fuentes, whose followers call themselves Groypers, founded the America First Political Action Conference (AFPAC) as a white nationalist alternative to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).

President Donald Trump's $10 billion defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal just got riskier, according to one analyst.

Adam Klasfeld, co-founder and editor-in-chief of All Rise News, joined progressive YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen on a new episode of the "Brian Tyler Cohen" podcast on Tuesday to discuss Trump's lawsuit.
