The Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has been placed under updated restrictions, per a recent decision by U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander in Baltimore. DOGE’s access is now limited when it comes to Social Security systems that contain personal data on citizens across the nation, the Associated Press (AP) reported on Thursday, noting that Hollander issued a preliminary injunction in the case after issuing a temporary restraining order.The case was brought by several labor unions and retired individuals who claim DOGE has violated privacy laws and its work has resulted in a risk to security. In her ruling, Hollander said the objective to uncover government waste and fraud

FIRST ON FOX: The White House is launching a new "Road to Independence" video lecture series leading up to America's 250th birthday, and the Trump administration has planned a year of festivities to commemorate it.
The series, launched the same day as the first engagement of the Revolutionary War in 1775, will commemorate important moments in American history ahead of the Trump administration's commencement of a full year of festivities that will launch on Memorial Day in honor of America's 250th anniversary.
The videos are being produced in a partnership between the Department of Education and Hillsdale College, whose president appeared in an introductory video launching the series.
As a lifelong journalist, I should be on the side of The Associated Press in its ongoing legal fight with the Trump White House.
And I would be if the AP were the neutral, fact-driven wire service it used to be.
Unfortunately, it has become just another outlet peddling leftist opinion disguised as straight news.
And as its fight with the White House demonstrates, it also reeks of a sense of elite entitlement.
The case involves the AP’s claims that its freedom of speech was violated when it was booted from its long-standing spot in the press pool, an elite, small group of legacy news outlets that get near-daily access to the president.

Biased Against Democrats: ‘That’s
What’s Killing Us’(VIDEO) 16 replies
Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina has said that Democrats have a winning message but that mainstream media is biased against them.
In an appearance on MSNBC, Clyburn explained that Democrats main problem is that they are unable to share their winning message with the rest of the country because the mainstream media is unwilling to amplify it.
He explained.
I think the message that’s coming from the Democratic Party is a good message. The problem we’ve got, honestly, is that we have to depend upon the media to deliver it.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's announcement of a temporary Easter ceasefire in Ukraine has drawn skepticism from Ukrainian officials and global observers. Set to commence on Saturday evening and conclude at midnight on Easter Sunday, the truce is presented as a humanitarian gesture. However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has criticized the move, citing ongoing Russian drone attacks and a lack of genuine commitment to peace.
I remember seeing the story six years ago and feeling like I’d been punched in the stomach. It seemed to exemplify everything that was going wrong in our country. The bad memory: a psychopath picked up a boy at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota and threw him over a three-story balcony. The boy, Landen Hoffman, then five years old, fell 40 feet and suffered broken bones, severe head trauma, and internal injuries.
It was and remains a horrible story—but there’s some good news. Now 11, Hoffman has worked hard and has been helped in his recovery by hero doctors and his supportive family, and he’s doing well.
A new poll has found that Gen Z voters under 21 lean Republican by 11.7 points.
The poll’s findings are particularly shocking given that young voters have traditionally leaned to the left.
According to the new Yale Youth Poll, voters aged 22 to 29 lean Democrat by 6.4 points.
“When asked whether they would vote for the Democratic or Republican candidate in the 2026 congressional elections in their district, voters aged 22–29 favored the Democratic candidate by a margin of 6.4 points, but voters aged 18–21 favored the Republican by a margin of 11.7 points.”

Crowds gathered in Boston, Massachusetts, on Friday evening to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride to warn that British troops were approaching.
Those gathered enjoyed taking part in a reenactment of the patriot’s ride as he left his home, wife, and seven children behind, WCVB reported on Saturday. Video footage shows Revere bidding his wife goodbye as the two embrace before his historic journey begins:

A majority of registered voters do not believe Democrats should automatically resist the agenda of President Donald Trump, a Harvard-Harris survey found.
The survey asked respondents, “Do you think Democrats should oppose everything that Trump is doing or should they take more of a wait-and-see attitude towards his actions?” Most respondents, 62 percent, believe they should take more of a wait-and-see attitude rather than immediately oppose the Trump agenda. This is compared to 39 percent who believe Democrats should “oppose everything Trump is doing.”
On a chilly February night in 2025, Jay Sani, an Indian-American student at Washington State University, stepped out of a bar wearing his red MAGA hat. The 28-year-old engineering student didn’t expect the night to take a violent turn, but it did.
According to reports, as Jay walked, two figures approached him. Patrick Mahoney, a university instructor and vocal proponent of Palestinian causes, and Gerald Hoff, a graduate student and teaching assistant.
It is unclear what sparked the confrontation, but words were exchanged and, as seen on security footage, Mahoney lunged at Jay, ripping the hat from his head.
The Supreme Court temporarily halted the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of the Tren de Aragua Venezuelan street gang early Saturday.

Host DNC Fundraiser With Tickets Starting

The Democrats constantly talk about how they want ‘big money’ to get out of politics. Yet the DNC is holding a fundraiser next month with tickets starting at a mere $25,000.
For this massive amount, attendees will get to hear the 2024 losing candidate Kamala Harris cackle her way through the evening. Who wouldn’t want to spend this kind of cash for such a great night?
The Democrats have basically become the party of the super rich and the super poor.

Ex-VP Harris returns to politics to headline DNC fundraiser with tickets starting at $25,000
Sometimes you just can't help but laugh. For some time now, the Democratic Party's been dealing with approval ratings lower than a snake on a submarine and sinking faster than a lead brick in clear water. Their embrace of every possible policy position that at least 80 percent of the country opposes has cost them, and let's hope they never figure it out.A new Gallup poll is in, and for Republicans as well as any Americans who aren't barking nuts (Democrats), it's giggle-inducing.
Confidence in the Democratic Party's congressional leadership has sunk to an all-time low, according to a new national poll.

‘Next In Line’ If Deportations Are

MSNBC anchor Symone Sanders claimed on Saturday that the deportation of Salvadoran citizen and suspected MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego-Garcia was just one step on the road toward President Donald Trump’s administration deporting black American citizens.
Sanders began with an article written for The Nation earlier in the week — in which the author had suggested the deportation of criminal aliens, designated terrorists, and gang members effectively heralded the fall of democracy in the United States — and argued that “people of color and vulnerable communities … are next in line.”
Prince Harry and Meghan are in a 'crisis' as she has not achieved 'the status she craves', royal author warns. British writer and former BBC journalist, Tom Bower has claimed he will reveal further bombshells about the couple in an upcoming book about the Sussexes'. The author released his first book about the pair, 'Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between Windsors' in 2022. Discussing his 'new material' on the royal couple, he alleged the duo were constantly fighting for themselves, describing them as 'relentless' and 'restless'.
Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Democratic strategist James Carville believed in “timid” politics.
Host Jake Tapper said, “Let’s talk about what you did this week raising a lot of eyebrows here in Washington, D.J. You announced this week you’re the Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, but you’re raising $20 million to boost primary challengers running in safe Democratic seats against incumbent Democrats.”
He added, “Here’s James Carville.”
SAN FRANCISCO -- Progressive icon and former U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee declared victory Saturday as the new mayor of troubled Oakland, a San Francisco Bay Area city reeling from economic stagnation, crime and homelessness. Lee issued a statement Saturday as mayor-elect, saying that her chief opponent, Loren Taylor, had called to concede the April 15 race. (Snip) Oakland has about 400,000 residents and is deeply liberal and multicultural, the birthplace of the Black Panther Party and claimed by former Vice President Kamala Harris as her hometown. But Oakland also is reeling from homeless tents, public drug use, illegal sideshows, gun violence
“Not always, but most of the time, people act in their own self-interest.”
The above quote is our passport through the space-time continuum — the DeLorean we’ll drive to steal a sneak-peak at Election Day 2028, as we play Carnac the Magnificent. And it works… about 75% of the time.
Alas, the future is stubbornly indifferent to the plans of today. People are mostly predictable, but black swan events still happen. Every now and then, a researcher in Wuhan will be dissecting bats and forget to wash her hands. Or a political speech in Butler, Penn. will be disrupted with gunshots. Life is crazy.
It’ll never be fully predictable.
The Supreme Court on April 19 temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting an unspecified number of Venezuelan men currently in immigration custody who are alleged to be members of a criminal gang.
The new, unsigned order granting the Venezuelans’ emergency application was issued on Saturday at about 12:55 a.m. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented. Alito’s reasoning will be added to the court’s file later, according to the order.
“The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court” the order states.

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) is frantically backpedaling after his ill-conceived El Salvador publicity stunt blew up in his face. The Maryland Democrat, who initially trumpeted his mission to "rescue" a deported MS-13 gang member, is now desperately trying to rewrite the script of his adventure gone wrong.
When Van Hollen first landed in the country, he couldn't wait to broadcast his virtuous mission to the world. "I just landed in San Salvador," he proclaimed proudly, promising to secure the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom he claimed was "illegally abducted."
Rosie O’Donnell made good on her promise to leave the country if Donald Trump returned to the White House.
And apparently, she had a good reason for her personal health. Rosie O’Donnell has admitted she was “drinking too much” during Donald Trump’s first term in the White House - and during his recent presidential campaign, she vowed she would leave the country if he was elected again. The American talk show host revealed last month that she and her 12-year-old child Clay moved to Dublin, Ireland, to escape the Trump presidency. Since her grandparents were Irish, she is eligible to get citizenship, but said her application has yet to be approved.

Bill Clinton called on Americans to put aside “whose resentments matter most” and issued a defense of government employees as he returned to Oklahoma City on Saturday for a remembrance service for the 30th anniversary of the deadliest homegrown terrorist attack in US history.
“If our lives are going to be dominated by efforts to dominate people we disagree with, we’re going to put the 250-year-old march toward a more perfect union at risk,” he said. “None of us would ever get much done. Believe me, we’ve all got something to be mad about."
