The 45 protests were just some of the 1,000 nationwide demonstrations planned for Saturday against the Trump administration as a part of the "Hands Off!" movement, according to USA Today. The protests will come just days after Trump's so-called Liberation Day, when he announced tariffs on dozens of countries.

CNN's Dana Bash on Thursday mocked President Donald Trump for leveling tariffs against an island that are inhabited solely by penguins.

"No one is safe from President Trump's new tariffs, not even penguins," she said. "A remote island near Antarctica that is home to mainly penguins, no humans, is now subject to a 10 percent American tariff. This is not a joke. We are not kidding. These penguins, who do not trade goods or services with the United States as far as we know, are on the receiving end of a new tax."

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) took a shot at Monica Crowley, President Donald Trump's nominee for Chief of Protocol, after she spent years defending former President Richard Nixon.

The White House fired at least three National Security Council staffers after president Donald Trump met with far-right influencer Laura Loomer, according to three sources familiar with the situation.
