Neil Young is once again not holding back against President Donald Trump and MAGA.

The iconic rocker kicked off 2026 with a blistering op-ed on his official website, the Neil Young Archives, and he pulled no punches at the MAGA leader.

President Donald Trump was confronted by CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Friday about why his administration blocked Minnesota from being part of the federal investigation into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement shooting of a 37-year-old mom of three in Minneapolis — and his resulting answer, which meandered into attacks on Somali-Americans and false claims that he would have won the state without voter fraud, left observers stunned.

"State officials there have said that the FBI isn't sharing evidence with them," said Collins. "Typically they would conduct a joint investigation, as you know. Do you believe that the FBI should be sharing evidence with state officials in Minnesota?"

Mockery erupted Friday afternoon as President Donald Trump read aloud a note from his Secretary of State during a power lunch with big oil titans.

Trump held court to convince ExxonMobil, Chevron, and ConocoPhillips executives to drop billions on rebuilding Venezuela's neglected energy infrastructure. Trump told the New York Times that Caracas must "give us everything we feel is necessary"—including exclusive oil partnerships with America and ditching ties to China, Russia, and Iran.

Kyle Rittenhouse, a conservative acquitted of murdering two protesters, blamed violence during anti-ICE protests in Minnesota on "drinking too much fluoride."

During a Friday interview, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones told Rittenhouse that liberals were threatening violence after Renee Nicole Good was shot to death by agent Jonathan Ross.

President Donald Trump apologized to the world's oil companies because he did not yet have a ballroom to host them at the White House.

"The largest Oil Companies in the World are coming to the White House at 2:30 P.M. Everybody wants to be there," Trump wrote on Friday in a Truth Social post. "It's too bad that the Ballroom hasn't completed because, if it were, it would be PACKED. We apologize to those Oil Companies that we cannot take today, but Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, and Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, will see them over the next week. Everyone is in daily contact."

During a press conference in Minneapolis on Friday, the county attorney of Hennepin County left no doubt that an investigation into the shooting of Renee Good at point-blank range by an ICE agent resulting in the 37-year-old mom ‘s death belongs with her office.

Brought on by Mayor Jacob Frey to answer questions about the FBI taking over the case, seizing all the evidence and refusing to cooperate, county attorney Mary Moriarity was careful not to cast any aspersions on the FBI and Director Kash Patel, but also said she hoped she would not be forced to go to court over the issue.

Vice President J.D. Vance used body camera footage leaked from his administration to justify the killing of Renee Nicole Good by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agent Jonathan Ross.

On Friday, Vance shared the leaked video from Alpha News, which appeared to be taken from the perspective of Ross's body camera.
