Supporters of Donald Trump erupted in fury Friday after an Indian Republican state senator announced he would vote against the GOP’s redistricting plan – citing the president’s use of “r-----ed” to attack Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

State Sen. Michael Bohacek, a Republican from a deep-red district, said in a Facebook post that he would be a “no” vote on the state’s 2026 redistricting package after Trump referred to Walz as “seriously r-----ed” in his Thanksgiving Day social media post. Bohacek, whose daughter has Down Syndrome, added: “words have consequences.”

Advocates for refugees in the United States continued to raise alarm Friday after President Donald Trump moved quickly to exploit the murder of one National Guard soldier and the wounding of another—allegedly shot by a national from Afghanistan who worked for the US military and CIA during the war there before seeking asylum in the US—by issuing a sweeping ban against asylum-seekers and halting all immigration from what he termed “all Third World countries” in response to Wednesday’s shooting in Washington, DC.

“Regardless of the alleged perpetrator’s nationality, religion or specific legal status,” said Matthew Soerens, a vice president with the faith-based World Relief, speaking with the Associated Press, “we urge our country to recognize these evil actions as those of one person, not to unfairly judge others who happen to share those same characteristics.”

Outrage erupted across social media Friday after President Donald Trump announced that he intends to grant a “Full and Complete pardon” to former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, the convicted drug trafficker serving a 45-year federal sentence for helping move massive amounts of cocaine into the United States.

Hernandez, extradited to the U.S. in 2024 and convicted in New York, was found guilty of conspiring to traffic 400 tons of cocaine following years of reporting that he used Honduras’ government, military and police to protect cocaine shipments headed to the U.S.

President Donald Trump's campaign has been caught upcharging prospective buyers on a Black Friday sale.

The campaign's Black Friday fundraising email hawks multiple items that appear to contain higher prices than what's listed on its website, according to Meidas Touch. The report found one email advertised a red MAGA hat ornament at a "reduced" price of $37, claiming a "30% off deal." However, the campaign's own website simultaneously listed the same item for $30.

President Donald Trump used his Truth Social account on Friday to announce that he intends to grant a “Full and Complete Pardon” to former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez – a convicted drug trafficker sentenced last year to 45 years in U.S. federal prison for helping move massive quantities of cocaine into the United States.

The move comes after months of lobbying from several MAGA-aligned figures, including staunch ally Roger Stone, who has publicly urged Trump to pardon the former Honduran leader and cast doubt on the fairness of the conviction.

A top Republican state senator in Indiana cited President Donald Trump's slurs to explain why he would vote no on redistricting the state before the midterm elections.

In a Facebook post on Friday, state Sen. Michael Bohacek (R) noted that Trump had recently called Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) "seriously r-----ed."

President Donald Trump and Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro are reportedly discussing a potential diplomatic meeting amid rising tensions between the two nations, with the United States placing immense pressure on Venezuela.

Sources familiar with the matter told the Times that while the leaders discussed a possible encounter, no concrete plans have been finalized. The timing of these talks is significant as the Trump administration has taken increasingly aggressive steps toward the Venezuelan government.

The White House lashed out at former CNN correspondent Kate Bennett, calling her a "scumbag," after she pointed to President Donald Trump's habit of insulting female reporters.

"You know, everyone keeps writing these stories about how President Trump is only insulting female reporters by calling them piggy, ugly, stupid etc," Bennett noted in a Friday post on X. "But, it's actually because the women are the ones asking all the tough questions. Give that a thought."
