Judge Pauses Much Of Trump Administration's Massive Downsizing Of Federal Agencies
LOADING ERROR LOADINGSAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Trump administration must halt much of its dramatic downsizing of the federal workforce, a California judge ordered Friday. The temporary restraining order directs numerous federal agencies to halt acting on the president’s workforce executive order signed in February and a subsequent memo issued by the Department of Government Efficiency and the Office of Personnel Management. Tens of thousands of federal workers have been fired, left their jobs via deferred resignation programs or have been placed on leave as a result of Trump’s government-shrinking efforts.

In that case, Judge William Alsup ordered the government in March to reinstate those workers, but the U.S. Supreme Court later blocked his order.

Stephen Colbert Has 2 Very Revealing Words For Trump About Melania
LOADING ERROR LOADING“Late Show” host Stephen Colbert said on Thursday night that there’s one question about President Donald Trump’s White House that many people are asking in Washington lately. “Where is Melania?” he said, pointing to a new report that finds the first lady has spent fewer than 14 days at the White House since Trump took office in January. “Melania was clearly inspired by Mrs. Truman’s famous catchphrase, ‘Be Bess,’” Colbert cracked. Trump said his wife isn’t seen much because “she’s a very private person,” but Colbert isn’t buying it. “Yes, she’s a very private person ― who has film crews following her around for the $40 million documentary about her life,” he said.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGJustin Wolfers, a University of Michigan economics professor, offered a short but biting summary of President Donald Trump’s unpredictable trade policies on Wednesday, warning they could help trigger a recession. “You and me, our family budgets and how we make plans depends entirely on what happens in the White House, and it’s even harder than that because they haven’t announced a single clear coherent policy,” Wolfers pointed out to MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace. AdvertisementHe then summarized the chaos in just five seconds:“We have tariffs, then we don’t. Then we’re going to make deals. “The pain that this set of tariffs is going to cause is going to be roughly 50 times larger than the tariffs that Trump imposed in his first term,” Wolfers warned.

3 Former Memphis Police Officers Acquitted In Fatal Beating Of Tyre Nichols
At trial, defense attorneys emphasized that Martin kicked and punched Nichols several times in the head. In addition to beating Nichols, prosecutors also said the officers failed to intervene and failed to tell medical personnel that Nichols had been hit repeatedly in the head. Under cross-examination, he indicated he would not have struck Nichols if Nichols had put his hands behind his back. Defense lawyers have argued that the fatal beating would not have taken place if Nichols had just allowed himself to be handcuffed. The five officers, the city of Memphis and the police chief are being sued by Nichols’ family for $550 million.
