Comedian Bill Maher on Friday made public his plans to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House – a visit arranged by none other than Kid Rock.

But, as Maher expected, the move has set off a wave of fury among his liberal critics, who called the late-night host out for agreeing to meet with the subject of his years-long ridicule.

Hundreds of thousands of immigrants in the United States are set to have their legal statuses revoked by the Trump administration, according to a report.

A total of 532,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who entered the U.S. under a Biden-era sponsorship process will see their immigration statuses revoked, CBS News reported Friday afternoon. The administration urged them to self-deport — or face arrest and deportation.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s role as the country’s top diplomat isn’t shaping out as he expected as he has found himself taking a back seat to President Donald Trump’s close friend, billionaire real estate developer Steve Witkoff, according to a CNN report.

Witkoff, Trump’s top Middle East negotiator and golf buddy, has played a key role in a number of high profile foreign policy wins the Trump administration has racked up in the last two months, including the release of hostages in Israel, the return of American Marc Fogel from Russian custody and a ceasefire in Gaza, which has since been broken.

Columbia University on Friday gave into demands from the Trump administration when it agreed to a sweeping set of changes in order to restore $400 million in federal funding suspended earlier this month, according to media reports.

The university’s changes include new powers for police to arrest students, partially banning face masks, and appointment of a university official to oversee changes across university departments, the Independent reported Friday.

A prominent law firm that struck a deal with President Donald Trump — amid threats from the White House — found itself under fire again Friday, this time from those in the legal world.

Trump on Thursday withdrew an executive order that rescinded security clearances from the law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. The move came after Trump met law firm chairman Brad Karp, and they came to an agreement, with Paul, Weiss pledging $40 million worth of pro bono legal services during Trump's presidency, focusing on fighting antisemitism and helping veterans. The firm also agreed to review its hiring practices and eliminate any diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI, policies.

A ruling this week that temporarily blocked Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency from accessing personally identifiable information from the Social Security Administration has led to the agency’s acting chief threatening to shut it down, the Washington Post reported Friday.

Acting Social Security commissioner Leland Dudek reacted to the scathing ruling issued yesterday by a federal judge in Maryland by meeting with lawyers from the agency and the Department of Justice following his warning that he could shut down the agency.

A former campaign adviser for Donald Trump melted down on CNN over an explosive report from The New York Times that tech billionaire Elon Musk was to get briefed on possible military plans in the event of a war with China.

The Times lit up social media when it reported Thursday night that Musk, the head of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, was scheduled to receive the classified briefing on Friday. However, Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Pentagon officials strongly refuted the claims.

President Donald Trump’s “American First” policies are fueling a new wave of anti-American sentiment overseas – and that means a boycott of American-made products.

That’s according to a New York Times report out Friday, which added that the “the strongest momentum” behind the boycott of U.S. goods abroad appears to be from countries that have been on the receiving end of Trump’s direct threats, such as Denmark and Canada.
