Here are the top 10 fashion moments from the inauguration ceremony.

LOS ANGELES – Firefighters on the ground and in the air rushed to slow a rapidly spreading brush fire that exploded near Castaic on Wednesday, forcing tens of thousands of evacuations and impacting traffic on the 5 Freeway. The Hughes Fire erupted around 10:50 a.m. in the area of Lake Hughes Road east of Castaic Lake, according to Cal Fire incident commanders. It spread quickly through dry brush and trees, fanned by strong Santa Ana winds. The fire was initially reported at 50 acres but had exploded to over 9,400 acres by 5 p.m., according to CalFire, with no containment.
BERLIN, Germany — A 2-year-old child and a man were killed by a man wielding a knife, in Germany, on Wednesday. He also seriously wounded two other people, said police, who arrested an Afghan suspect at the scene. It is the latest in a series of deadly knife attacks to have shaken Germany in recent months, fueling concerns over public safety. The stabbings happened in a public park in the center of the Bavarian city of Aschaffenburg at around 11:45 a.m. (1045 GMT), police said. The attacker targeted a group of children from a daycare center who were in the
If you have to be somewhere you don’t want to be — like, say, the inauguration of Donald Trump — you may as well make it known you’re not down with the program. At least, that’s what it seems Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson did. Yesterday, during the inauguration, while Mark Zuckerberg was yucking it up with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez and Elon Musk simply could not hold himself back from throwing a thumbs-up to the camera, Justice Jackson sat quietly. With her judicial robes, she wore a collar and a pair of earrings made up of cowrie
‘Tis the season to be…..coffee badging? The new year traditionally marks the time a fresh crop of U.S. corporations requires employees to return to the office after many businesses allowed their staffs to work remotely at the start of the COVID-10 pandemic five years ago. And that means it’s also the season for workers to try to beat the system. What does the term coffee badging mean?
Many are “coffee badging,” or swiping their ID badges at the office to record their arrival, staying 30 minutes or so - long enough to greet colleagues and grab a cup of coffee
Hours after Donald Trump was sworn into office as the president, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy asked him to review federal approval of New York’s congestion pricing program, which costs New Jersey drivers an additional $9 to enter midtown Manhattan. In a letter sent to Trump on Monday, Murphy said, “I welcome any opportunity to work with you and your Administration where we can find common ground.” Murphy then reminded the president that he called congestion pricing “a disaster for NYC” during his campaign. Murphy referred to the new toll as “a disaster for working- and middle-class New Jersey commuters

The Pentagon took down a recently unveiled portrait of retired Gen. Mark Milley, the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who butted heads with President Donald Trump following his 2020 election defeat. The portrait of Milley, who served as the 20th chairman of the Joint Chiefs from 2019 to 2023, was unveiled earlier this month. Trump nominated Milley, but their relationship soured until the end of Trump’s first term. As of midafternoon Monday, just hours after Trump was inaugurated for his second term in the White House, the painting was no longer in the spot it was unveiled
With just moments left before he leaves office, President Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents. Peltier was denied parole as recently as July and wasn't eligible for parole again until 2026. He was serving life in prison for the deaths of the agents during a standoff on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He will transition to home confinement, Biden said in a statement. "President Biden took an enormous step toward healing and reconciliation with the Native American people in this country,"
Cecile Richards, a women's rights activist and former president of Planned Parenthood, has died at 67, her family said. “This morning our beloved Cecile passed away at home, surrounded by her family and her ever-loyal dog, Ollie. Our hearts are broken today but no words can do justice to the joy she brought to our lives,” her family said in a statement shared Monday with NBC News. (Snip) Richards, the daughter of former Texas Gov. Ann Richards, previously served as deputy chief of staff to Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California. She served as president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund
An illegal immigrant from Mexico, named as a person of interest in the Los Angeles area fires, may avoid being detained by immigration officials because of California's sanctuary laws. Immigration officials confirmed Tuesday that Juan Manuel Sierra is a Mexican national in the U.S. illegally. He is suspected of trying to start fires in Woodland Hills, close to the Kenneth fire, after being found with a blowtorch, according to the Los Angeles Times. Why It Matters While Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer for Sierra, California's sanctuary laws may stop local law enforcement from notifying the federal agency
The major reservoir that was drained and out-of-commission when the deadly Los Angeles wildfires broke out has repeatedly needed similar repairs in recent years, a new report says. The 117-million-gallon Santa Ynez Reservoir in the fire-ravaged Pacific Palisades neighborhood was empty and undergoing fixes to its torn cover when the historic blaze started ravaging the region a week ago. (Snip) But the cover, which is designed to keep the water free of contaminants, also required repairs just two years earlier, according to regulatory filings obtained by the Wall Street Journal. The cover was installed in 2011 and was supposed to
New York — Veteran opinion columnist Jennifer Rubin is becoming the latest in a long list of Washington Post figures to leave the troubled institution. Rubin is partnering with former White House ethics czar Norm Eisen and launching something new: a startup publication called The Contrarian. The startup’s tagline, “Not owned by anybody,” is a pointed reference to billionaire Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos and other moguls who, in Rubin’s view, have “bent the knee” to President-elect Donald Trump. “Our goal is to combat, with every fiber of our being, the authoritarian threat that we face,” Rubin told CNN in

Right Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde responded to President Donald Trump's criticism of comments she made during her sermon at the Washington National Cathedral on Tuesday. On Trump's first full day of his second term, Budde, of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington, delivered a sermon focused on "unity," also targeting specific comments directly at Trump on issues like illegal immigration and LGBTQ youth. Trump and Vice President JD Vance sat stone-faced as she urged Trump to "have mercy," and the president indicated to reporters afterward he didn't care for the remarks.

Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld apparently had enough of co-host Jessica Tarlov’s shenanigans about the second Trump presidency and the slew of executive orders that have virtually undone everything Joe Biden did over the past four years. In 36 hours, an entire presidency was revoked. Tarlov asked Gutfeld about birthright citizenship, which led to Gutfeld unleashing an epic tirade against liberal America being incapable of understanding this moment.
First, on the immigration questions, Gutfeld aptly noted that you don’t need to like everything in a restaurant to like the establishment. That’s the typical authoritarian tendency of the Left—you must like or comply with everything they say, including candidates.

Mar-a-Lago raid: report 24 replies
The Trump administration has reportedly reassigned more than a dozen career Justice Department officials, including one who played a central role in pushing for the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago.
The new assignments – given to at least 15 longtime officials – will see the federal employees remain within DOJ but in the roles where they are expected to wield less influence on the department’s major decision, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
Some officials were notified they were being transferred just hours after President Trump was sworn-in on Monday, according to the outlet.

This morning, while people were still sweeping up confetti and collecting empty champagne flutes from the inaugural balls, President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and their wives attended the National Prayer Service at the National Cathedral. For the more liturgically-minded readers and those wayward Episcopalians, the order of service can be found here.
A certain amount of ecumenicism is to be expected and appreciated at such a service. Jesse J. Swann, Jr., chief of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe, gave the invocation. Rabbi Susan N. Shankman read from Deuteronomy 10:17-21, and cantor Susan Bortnick offered the Jewish call to prayer. There were the requisite high-ranking members of the Episcopal Church
In a shocking revelation, sources claim that former President Joe Biden’s National Security Advisor, Jake Sullivan, instructed National Security Council (NSC) staffers to "hold over" into the second Trump administration, allegedly to spy on and sabotage President Donald Trump’s presidency. This reported intent mirrors similar tactics used during the early days of Trump's first term, raising questions about the lengths some in the government may go to undermine the transition of power.
President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency is looking into stopping production of the penny to save taxpayers money.
In a post on X Tuesday night, the Elon Musk-run group pointed out that a penny now costs three cents to make - triple its value.
That cost taxpayers a whopping $179 million in fiscal year 2023, the post said.
DOGE has been tasked with coming up with recommendations on how to cut federal spending.
It's unclear if it would advise permanently killing off the penny, or just halting or trimming the penny's production.
Kamala Harris was all smiles and affection for her 'beloved' second gentleman Doug Emhoff in the immediate aftermath of her crushing presidential election defeat.
But now that President Donald Trump has been sworn into office, for sore loser Harris, it is now all about the blame game, and her target has flipped to her 'dead weight' husband.
And as she weighs her political future – maybe a 2026 run for Governor of California or another try for the nation's top job two years later – she has to consider whether Emhoff is an asset or a liability.
One source exclusively told DailyMail.com: 'There's plenty of blame to go around
CNN boss Mark Thompson told more than 100 journalists and top on-air talent including Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper that they ought to avoid “pre-judging” President-elect Donald Trump while cautioning them “against expressing any outrage of their own” during the inauguration, according to a report.
Thompson convened a virtual editorial meeting Sunday that included Tapper, Cooper and scores of other senior news personalities to discuss CNN’s coverage of the inaugural ceremonies that took place the next day in Washington, DC, according to the Status newsletter.

Attorney Alan Dershowitz predicted Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s executive action on birthright citizenship might not survive legal challenges. Trump issued an executive order tightening the grounds on which citizenship would be granted to those born in the United States Monday, shortly after being sworn into office. Dershowitz said that while he felt birthright citizenship was “a dumb idea,” he believed Trump couldn’t alter it through executive action.
Happy Wednesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) As I am fond of reminding my brilliant readers, I have been a Republican activist for over 40 years now. Yes, it's a bit of a flex — my ego does need to be fed — but I mostly bring it up to provide context for anything I write or say about either of the two major political parties.
The Democrats of 2025 are not the same kinds of people I've known throughout my activism career. They began to take a turn for the worse in late 2008 and really hit the gas on the Awfulmobile in late 2016. A casual observer
President Trump proved once again on Tuesday there is no one better at handling the corporate media, and one woke reporter learned the hard way.
During a press conference on Tuesday at the White House, Trump announced the creation of an American AI company called ‘Stargate.’ This project, launched with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, will invest $500 billion in America and potentially create 100,000 new American jobs.
However, the media had little interest in this and decided to launch attacks on Trump regarding his decision to free the J6 political prisoners. As TGP readers know, Trump on Monday pardoned over 1,500 of these protesters who had suffered unbearable cruelty

Usha looked great in pink. Melania's hat drew mixed reactions. Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a necklace that symbolized slavery. (Sigh).
