The White House called California Gov. Gavin Newsom a nobody who has been “frolicking around Switzerland,” in response to claims the Trump administration shut him out of an event at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Newsom’s press office had said the White House and State Department denied the governor entry to a “fireside chat” Wednesday hosted by Fortune that the democrat was invited to speak at. The White House fired back at Newsom’s claim, saying the governor is not a priority for them, a Trump spokeswoman exclusively told The Post.

Comments:

Newsom is boiling mad - - because his five-gallon vat of Brylcreem was confiscated by Swiss customs officials. You can't help but feel sorry for the poor guy.

He probably thought the press corps in Davos would swoon over him. He’s such a narcissist.

Is Newscum still doing that shimmy shimmy shimmy thing with his head and neck? Birds and birdbrains do that kind of stuff, not real people. Gavin is as phony as kosher pork.

I don't feel sorry for Newscum, I feel sorry for the few folks in Kalifornia who were smart enough to try to get rid of him , but failed.

For a year, I worked with the homeless in New York City. Over the course of that year, I encountered more than 200 unhoused people. Only three ended up in permanent housing. Our team consisted of a social worker (me), two case managers, and a nurse. Our nurse carried Narcan. We coordinated with shelters, hospitals and city agencies.

Anti-Israel activist and former Columbia grad student Mahmoud Khalil is set to be deported to Algeria — bringing an end to a drawn-out court battle over his immigration status, federal officials said. The Syrian-born activist, who was arrested by ICE early last year, is slated to be booted from the US after the Trump administration accused him of committing fraud on his green card application. “It looks like he’ll go to Algeria. That’s what the thought is right now,” Homeland Security assistant secretary, Tricia McLaughlin, told NewsNation’s “Katie Pavlich Tonight” Wednesday.

Several emergency declarations have already been issued as a massive winter storm barrels toward more than 35 states, putting more than 200 million people in its path and threatening “considerable disruption” to New York with up to a foot of snow. Texas, North Carolina, and South Carolina were the first to issue preemptive emergency declarations after the National Weather Service warned that “nearly everyone east of the Rockies” will be affected by snow, ice, or cold from Friday into early next week. The potentially historic winter storm, dubbed Winter Storm Fern, is expected to span more than 2,000 miles

WASHINGTON — The repressive Iranian regime is likely in its “final days and weeks,” German Chancellor Friedrich Merz dramatically predicted Tuesday — as shocking images emerged of thousands killed in a bloody crackdown by Tehran. “If a regime can only keep itself in power by force, then it’s effectively at the end. I believe we are now seeing the final days and weeks of this regime,” Merz told reporters during a trip to India. “In any case, it has no legitimacy through elections in the population. The population is now rising up against this regime.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul rolled out broad strokes of a multi-billion-dollar plan Thursday to offer “free” child care for all two-year-olds in New York City, while expanding pre-K and early child care programs in the rest of the Empire State — with no tax increases, at least this year. The Big Apple already has universal Pre-K and 3K programs, and Hochul said she will partner with new Mayor Zohran Mamdani to age down and fully fund the program to cover 2-year-olds. “This is getting on a roadmap to continue what has already started in the city with four-year-olds and three-year-olds,” Hochul said on MS-NOW Thursday morning previewing the proposal.

Thousands of Iranians continued to flood the streets Tuesday in the country’s largest protest over the crumbling economy – after the announcement of a minuscule stimulus payment only fanned the flames. The raucous nationwide demonstrations carried on for the 10th day after government officials announced Monday that about 80 million eligible citizens will receive 10 million Iranian rials a month — worth about $7.70 at real exchange rates.

Michael Reagan, the eldest son of former President Ronald Reagan and actress Jane Wyman, died at his home in Los Angeles on Sunday, his late father’s foundation announced in a statement. Reagan, 80, dedicated himself to upholding his father’s legacy in his work as a conservative author and radio talk show host. He spent much of his public life defending and promoting the Reagan administration, which was largely devoted to scaling back the government’s involvement in daily life and bringing an end to the Cold War.

Literally no one would stay.” Already, the ultra-rich are making plans to flee the Golden State over a proposed one-time 5% wealth tax on residents worth more than $1 billion, multiple sources confirmed to The Post last week.

As lawyered-up apologies go, this one's a real stinker. When I got a look at what the new CNN talking head, 25-year-old Cameron Kasky, said out loud in front of God, Scott Jennings, the CNN audience, and President Donald Trump's lawyers, I said on my Adult in the Room Podcast livestream these words, "He's gonna get sued." But his "apology" is arguably worse. On CNN, Kasky claimed twice that Donald Trump was part of a "sex trafficking network," alluding to the Jeffrey Epstein case. When asked to clarify, Kasky claimed that it was a "provable" fact

— Once upon a time, there was a good-looking, articulate, young boy named David Duke who attended a conservative elementary school in New Orleans. In Junior High, as an eighth-grade project, he was irresistibly attracted to the subject of segregation. He then attended a military school in Georgia and “by the time he graduated was already a member in good standing of the Ku Klux Klan”––ultimately becoming a grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. In his self-published 1988 autobiography, My Awakening: A Path to Racial Understanding, Duke stated: “We [Whites] desire to live in our own neighborhoods, go to our own schools,

Bondi said in a post on X that the women paid key roles in organizing the "coordinated attack" on Cities Church. "Listen loud and clear: We do not tolerate attacks on freedom of worship," Bondi wrote.

The U.S. was one of the first countries to join the World Health Organization (WHO) when it was created in 1948 as part of the United Nations. But on Jan. 22, 2026, it officially withdrew from the global health group. The U.S. has historically been the largest funder to the WHO, through both its assessed and voluntary contributions, so the departure is poised to disrupt both global and domestic health. “This is one of the most penny-wise and billion-dollar-foolish moves,” says Michael Osterholm, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota.

Two officers who were pushed out of the military during President Donald Trump's first year back in the White House have launched new missions this week: running for Congress as Democrats. A retired U.S. Space Force colonel, who was forced out of the military under the Trump administration's ban on transgender service members, announced a run for Congress in Northern Virginia. And a senior Navy official removed from her post last year by War Secretary Pete Hegseth launched a congressional bid in South Carolina. Their candidacies highlight a growing political backlash to Trump-era military policies, as former officers removed from service look to re-enter public life through Congress.

Back when Attorney General Keith Ellison was a mere Congressman instead of the Attorney General of my state, he passed only one bill during his 12 years in that august body. Of all the bills he sponsored, he was able to successfully pass only one. It must have been really important to him to put it all on the line to convince his colleagues to go along with him, right? After all, it wasn't to rename a post office or anything. It was to actually change a policy intended to prevent money laundering. He had to be pretty passionate and persuasive. So what was that bill?

Federal authorities have arrested two anti-ICE agitators after a mob stormed a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday. Bondi named Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen as the suspects. FBI Director Kash Patel says the pair are charged with violating the FACE Act, which prohibits interfering with the exercise of religion at a place of worship. "Minutes ago at my direction, HSI and FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota. So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota," Bondi wrote on X.
