President Trump may have had the misfortune of being one of the few people taking in the Grammy Awards last night, and frankly, he didn’t like what he saw. He posted his thoughts in a late-night screed on Truth Social.
A 2014 email exchange between Plaskett and Epstein’s former executive assistant, Lesley Groff, reveals Plaskett accepted an invitation to the island.

In superhero lore, the good guys wear masks to protect their families from the reprisals of vengeful, lawless evildoers. And, in the real world, ICE and Border Patrol agents wear masks for the exact same reason.
Pop star Billie Eilish made her Song of the Year acceptance speech purely about politics Sunday night at the Grammys, barely thanking anyone while saying “No one is illegal on stolen land.”
Donning an anti-ICE “ICE Out” pin and standing next to her brother and songwriting producer partner Finneas, Eilish said “It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now. We need to keep speaking up and keep protesting. Our voices really do matter and the people matter.”
“And fuck ICE. That’s all I’m going to say. Sorry. Thank you so much.”
In a brief video clip that resurfaced on Saturday and quickly went viral, Boston’s far-left Mayor Michelle Wu summed up what no doubt many of her fellow leftists take to be axiomatically true. If it even came close to being implemented, it would destroy the United States utterly, but after all, what do leftists care about preserving what they think of as a racist, imperialist entity existing on stolen land? And so as far as they’re concerned, the destruction of the nation wouldn’t be a bug, but a feature.
Northwestern University has convinced a federal judge in Chicago to toss a lawsuit filed against the school alleging it discriminates against white men in its faculty hiring process.
The case was dismissed by U.S. District Judge Sarah Ellis, an Obama-appointee, who agreed with Northwestern’s argument that the plaintiff organization, Faculty, Alumni, and Students Opposed to Racial Preferences, lacked standing because it failed to show its members had actually applied for open positions at the law school, Reuters reported.
Sen. John Fetterman is again breaking with his party on immigration enforcement, openly rejecting Democratic efforts to target ICE while forcefully condemning rhetoric that compares federal agents to Nazis.
In a wide-ranging Fox News interview, Fetterman pushed back on claims that a government shutdown or legislative brinkmanship would meaningfully restrain Immigration and Customs Enforcement, arguing instead that such tactics mislead the public while putting federal workers at risk.
RAIR reports here on a recent refusal of a Muslim American to express support for the United States.
An NYPD recruit currently training at the police academy has reportedly requested a religious exemption from saluting the American flag—asserting that his Islamic beliefs prohibit him from doing so because he may only praise Allah.

Joe Rogan said the core teachings of Jesus Christ are difficult to fault, describing them as centered on kindness, personal responsibility, and caring for others during a recent podcast discussion focused on faith, morality, and church life. Rogan has previously publicly revealed that he attends church.
“If you get just to the teachings of Christ, I can’t find any faults in it,” Rogan said. “It’s all ab
A massive new release of Department of Justice (DOJ) records tied to Jeffrey Epstein is sending shockwaves through elite circles, and billionaire Bill Gates appears to be scrambling after being directly implicated in a series of deeply disturbing allegations.
As Slay News previously reported, the millions of pages released Friday include emails in which Epstein makes salacious claims that Gates begged him to obtain antibiotics so he could secretly dose his wife to conceal sexually transmitted diseases he allegedly contracted from “Russian girls.”
According to the DOJ-released files, Epstein discussed helping Gates obtain drugs “in order to deal with consequences of sex with Russian girls,” as well as facilitating illicit relationships with married women.
Agitators have taken to the streets of Los Angeles for the second night in a row to demonstrate against ICE and Homeland Security operations in the city. Well over 1,000 individuals participate in what has been labeled as an “ICE Out” rally.
On Saturday’s The Weekend, MSNOW White House reporter Laura Barron-Lopez asserted that liberal journalist Don Lemon is being prosecuted by the Donald Trump administration because the President doesn’t like journalists who present facts and criticize him.
The show also tried to tie in race, with co-host Eugene Daniels teasing the story: “Today Trump’s immigration crackdown extends to the free press with federal agents arresting two black journalists, including Don Lemon, after documenting a church protest.”
After beginning the show by discussing the merits of the case, co-host Jackie Alemany turned to Barron-Lopez and posed: “Can you talk about why the White House is so obsessed with Don Lemon in particular?”
A growing number of Democrat rogue judges are waging open war on the rule of law, substituting ideology for statute and personal politics for public safety. By blocking deportations, freeing violent offenders, and nullifying duly enacted laws, these judges are not “checking power,” they are seizing it, overriding the will of voters and lawmakers alike. The result is predictable: communities put at risk, law enforcement undermined, and a justice system that rewards contempt for the law while punishing those tasked with enforcing it. This is not judicial independence; it is judicial sabotage—an assault on law and order and on the American way of life itself, which depends on equal application of the law, not rule by robe.
Records show Ilhan Omar’s husband’s investment firm lists no clients despite it driving their $30M net worth.
So how did they make money with no clients?
Public records and media reporting have raised questions about the source of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s family wealth, focusing on her husband’s investment firm, which reportedly lists no identifiable clients, deals, or SEC registration despite claims of operating in dozens of countries. Critics note the firm appears to operate out of shared office space and shows no public track record of managing money or completing transactions, while a related winery investment has also been described as inactive.
🚨HOLY SMOKES! Records show Ilhan Omar’s husband’s investment firm lists no clients despite it driving their $30M net worth.
Seattle’s communist Mayor Katie Wilson has announced plans to mobilize the city’s police force to gather intelligence on ICE agents conducting immigration enforcement operations and share that information with “community partners” on the streets.
Wilson said she will also bar federal immigration officers from utilizing city-controlled property, “including parks, parking lots, plazas, vacant lots, garages, and Seattle Center – for civil immigration enforcement.”
Monica Cannon-Grant is a Boston-based Black Lives Matter activist who has pleaded guilty to scamming more than $100,000 in Covid funds and other resources in order to fund her lavish lifestyle.
Yesterday, she was sentenced to six months of home confinement followed by four years of probation. No jail time.
Apparently, some people are actually above the law.
Don Lemon is quickly finding out that consequences apply under the Trump administration. As RedState reported, the self-described “journalist” has been arrested for his part in allegedly storming a church, harassing congregants, and refusing to leave when asked by the pastor.
With Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, and other hard-leftists out there trying to conjure up the spirits of Jefferson Davis and Stonewall Jackson, President Donald Trump has just made it clear that he is not going to tolerate any more of this low-grade but escalating insurrection.
Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani cheered the action.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has thrown her support behind a new proposal that if enacted would outlaw formal agreements between New York localities and Immigration and Customs Enforcement that allow for local police to be deputized as ICE agents.
While flanked by law enforcement on Friday at a press conference, Hochul proposed outlawing the formal agreements known as 287(g) agreements, which allow for local New York police departments to work with ICE by allowing local officers to be deputized along with ICE for immigration enforcement.
U.S. Border Czar Tom Homan announced Thursday that the organizers and funders behind the ICE-hunting groups in Minnesota will be held accountable, declaring, “justice is coming.”
Homan, who now leads President Trump’s immigration enforcement operation in the Twin Cities, held a morning news conference in Minneapolis to discuss his progress following discussions with Governor Tim Walz (D), Attorney General Keith Ellison (D), and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D).
“Jurisdictions that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities are sanctuaries for criminals,” Homan stated. “It endangers the residents of the communities.”
The medical watchdog group Do No Harm published a report this week, disputing claims made in a widely-cited study conducted by economists Michael Frakes and Jonathan Gruber that suggests increasing the share of Black physicians in military medical facilities leads to better outcomes for Black patients.
The government will run out of money soon. It’s been something of a dirge atmosphere since the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, which has animated leftists and sent Democrats huddling in the corner on how to screw over the Department of Homeland Security, including a new provision on ICE warrants, which is to say they want to hamstring the agency from making more illegal alien arrests.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon announced that she has instructed criminal prosecutors in the Civil Rights Division to open a civil rights investigation into an alleged violent attack on the Chabad-Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn.
The SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship before anyone is allowed to vote in American elections, will eventually be (we hope) headed for a Senate vote. The Democrats have fought against any kind of voter ID requirement, bitterly, and I leave it to you readers to discern why they are so adamant that we show a government ID for everything but voting. The Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer (D-NY), has released a statement pronouncing the SAVE Act as “dead on arrival” in the Senate.
A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has allowed a massive offshore wind farm off the coast of New York to continue construction, after being blocked by the Trump administration for weeks.
The ruling marks the fifth court win the offshore wind industry has seen over President Donald Trump and his effort to suppress development of the renewable energy alternative.
