Former ABC News reporter Terry Moran on Thursday said network news and legacy media companies are “failing the American people,” bowing to “corporate pressure” amid President Donald Trump’s second term. “They have kind of rules of what they can say and what they can’t say, what they can describe and what they can’t describe.

So the pressure’s on, very much so.”Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementHuffPost has reached out to Disney and ABC for comment.

But with the same agency now reporting continued drops in crime, his White House is eager to tout data it once derided as untrustworthy. (The White House confirmed to HuffPost it’s using MPD numbers but declined to comment.) It’s not complicated: The White House now likes D.C. crime data because the positive numbers reflect well on the president. “They have to stop issuing false crime numbers,” Trump said Tuesday at the White House.

Another horrific shooting at a school, this time in Minneapolis, where two young children were killed and 18 others injured. This is why the news from Minneapolis shook me to my core: the perpetrator at Annunciation Catholic School was reportedly a trans woman. In 2023, when a trans man actually was responsible for a school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, they seized the opportunity to support their baseless theory. “Today’s evil church school shooter was a trans who was likely groomed and transitioned as a teenager,” Marjorie Taylor Greene posted on X. Data from The Violence Prevention Project shows 97% of mass shootings are committed by men, with just a single trans shooter before the Annunciation attack.

“We have to remember this entire thing happened, this entire story blew up, during the Biden administration,” Vance said during an interview with USA Today. Vance said the Biden administration had four years to release any such information and failed to do so. Q: "Now that you're in power, you say that there is no Epstein client list. That prosecutor, Alex Acosta, would later serve in the Cabinet in the first Trump administration. Despite Vance’s claims, the arrest, death and outrage that followed took place during the first Trump administration – about 18 months before Biden took office.

He questioned why it was necessary for the Trump administration to sue all the judges as a means of challenging the order. Signed by Chief Maryland District Judge George L. Russell III, the order prevents the Trump administration from immediately deporting any immigrants seeking review of their detention in Maryland district court. The department has grown increasingly frustrated by rulings blocking Trump’s agenda, repeatedly accusing federal judges of improperly impeding his powers. AdvertisementAttorneys for the Maryland judges argued the lawsuit was intended to limit the power of the judiciary to review certain immigration proceedings while the Trump administration pursues a mass deportation agenda. The Trump administration later brought Abrego Garcia back to the U.S. and charged him with human smuggling in Tennessee, which his attorneys characterized as an attempt to justify his erroneous deportation.

The deal also comes as the United States has been working to get a leg up in the intense race against China to achieve global dominance in the artificial intelligence industry. “Terrible idea.”“Shark Tank” host and Trump supporter Kevin O’Leary also blasted the U.S. government for taking a stake in Intel.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON — A search so blatantly illegal that a “high school student” would know it violated the Constitution. That’s how a federal magistrate judge described the search of a Washington, D.C., man who was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm last week during President Donald Trump’s takeover of the city’s police force. AdvertisementThe judge, Zia M. Faruqui, said from the bench in D.C. federal court Monday that the police had no reason to stop Riley — except for the color of his skin. He said evidence from illegal searches has been suppressed in several of the cases he has overseen since Trump’s takeover. The judge said the U.S. attorney’s office badly needs prosecutors who know the difference between an illegal search and a legal one.
