We could also ask how well it’s going for Republicans. But what fun is that? Earlier today, the New York Times reported that Democrats can’t decide on the next steps after an embarrassing national-election loss. Should they make some significant changes, or stay the course and hope that Donald Trump will make them look better in comparison? Well, Quinnipiac just dropped a big data point on that question: Just 31 percent of voters have a favorable opinion of the Democratic Party, while 57 percent have an unfavorable opinion, the lowest mark since Quinnipiac started asking that question. In the opposite direction, Republicans have a new high in Quinnipiac

Jontay Porter may not have been the only NBA player involved in manipulating performance for sports bettors.
Federal investigators are looking into unusual betting activity relating to current Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier during his time with the Hornets, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.
The 30-year-old Rozier left a March 23, 2023 game after less than 10 minutes played against the New Orleans Pelicans and received a strong amount of betting interest on his Unders for the game. Rozier has not been accused of a crime or wrongdoing, the report said.
U.S. senators’ private concerns with Tulsi Gabbard’s history of unconventional national security views burst into public view on Thursday when the director of intelligence nominee — a former Hawaii congresswoman, 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, and lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve — sat before the Senate Intelligence Committee for a tense confirmation hearing that did little to dispel the narrative that her path to confirmation remains narrow.
Senate Republicans have a 53-seat majority this Congress and Vice President JD Vance can break a tie in a confirmation vote on the floor. But she must first clear the Senate Intelligence Committee, where Republicans have a one-seat majority and a single defection
Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s pick to run the FBI, sat for a confirmation hearing Thursday where lawmakers focused on high profile instances of FBI misconduct and Patel’s inflammatory political commentary.
Senator Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) brought up an FBI memo listing Catholic parishes the bureau believed harbored extremists and could offer opportunities for recruiting informants.
The memo, which was leaked by former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin, targeted “Radical Traditionalist Catholics” and was authored by the FBI’s Richmond field office. Appearing before Congress in July of last year, then-FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to tell Representative Jim Jordan who specifically authored the memo.

Trump for Airliner Crash, Here's Why They're Wrong 16 replies
On January 29th, 2025, the United States suffered its first hull loss of a passenger airliner since the Colgan crash of 2009. Tragically, 67 people appear to have perished after a mid-air collision between a CRJ-700 regional jet operated by PSA (contracted by American Airlines) and a military UH-60 Blackhawk. The CRJ was flying a circling approach to runway 33 at Ronald Reagan National Airport (DCA), which sits directly across the river from the nation's Capitol. In layman's terms, they were flying down the Potomac with the end of the approach being a low-altitude left turn onto short final to land
Everyone aboard the commercial airplane that crashed Wednesday night in Arlington, Virginia is feared dead, local authorities announced after trying to find survivors and assessing the damage.
“We are switching from a rescue to a recovery operation,” said D.C. fire chief John Donnelly at a Thursday morning press conference. “At this point we do not believe there are any survivors.”
The airplane collided with a Blackhawk in clear conditions as it was landing at Ronald Reagan International Airport, the D.C. area’s most active airport
Several US figure skaters and coaches — including two world champions — were onboard American Airlines Flight 5342 when it collided with a military helicopter near Ronald Reagan National Airport Wednesday night.
The skaters had participated in the National Development Camp at the US Figure Skating Championships in Wichita, KS. last week, US Figure Skating confirmed to The Post.
Spencer Lane, a rising star in the skating community, snapped a photo of the plane’s right wing moments before takeoff. The post read, “ICT to DCA,” showing the airport codes for Wichita Eisenhower and Reagan National.

Meta said Wednesday it would pay $25 million to settle a four-year-old lawsuit from President Donald Trump over the social media company’s decision to suspend Trump’s accounts after the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.
Meta, the parent company of Instagram and Facebook, filed a notice of the settlement in federal court in San Francisco, where the lawsuit was pending. Meta spokesperson Andy Stone separately confirmed the terms: a $25 million payment from the company, with $22 million going toward a fund for Trump’s presidential library and the balance dedicated to legal fees and other plaintiffs in the case.
President Trump signed an executive order to prohibit federal funds from going to K-12 public schools that teach critical race theory (CRT) or gender issues.
The order, which could quickly face legal challenges, “prohibits federal funding of the indoctrination of children which includes radical gender ideology and critical race theory in the classroom.”
The Education secretary and Defense secretary — for schools run by the defense department — are ordered to create a strategy for ending “indoctrination in K-12 education” within 90 days.
The order also reinstates the 1776 Commission Trump created in his first term, telling all executive agencies to “prioritize the advancement of patriotic education.”
NEW YORK — Top Department of Justice officials under President Donald Trump have been talking with Manhattan prosecutors about dropping criminal charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions.
The conversations between DOJ and both the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the mayor’s legal team were first reported by The New York Times.
Adams is facing a five-count bribery case that he has characterized as political retribution from the Biden administration for his criticisms of the former president’s handling of immigration. He pleaded not guilty in September.

Funding Freeze, but Says Exec Order Remains

The Trump administration rescinded a memo freezing most federal grants and loans on Wednesday, one day after the measure was temporarily paused by a federal district judge, though the White House clarified shortly thereafter that the underlying executive order remains in effect.
U.S. District judge Loren L. AliKhan issued an administrative stay on the measure on Tuesday night, moments before it was supposed to go into effect. The order had blocked the freeze from going into effect until at least Monday after a network of nonprofit groups filed a legal challenge against the measure.
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) director Matthew Vaeth previously ordered agencies to “temporarily

WASHINGTON - Americans have a dim view of some of President Donald Trump's early barrage of executive orders, including his attempt to do away with so-called birthright citizenship and his decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
Since taking office on Jan. 20, the Republican president has moved quickly to crack down on immigration and scale back the size of government, efforts that respondents to the three-day poll that closed on Sunday look on more favorably.
Overall, the poll showed 45% of Americans approve of Trump's performance as president, down slightly
Vogue launched a vicious review of Melania Trump's newly-revealed White House portrait, comparing the first lady's look to that of a magician.
The magazine spent four years fawning over the previous White House administration, featuring both Jill Biden and Kamala Harris on the cover several times each, and its latest piece on Melania reaffirms their preference for Democrats.
Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is a known Democrat - and was once even rumored to be considered for an ambassadorship under president Barack Obama.
An airplane has reportedly crashed at Ronald Reagan Airport in Washington, DC, grounding all takeoffs and landings.

Wednesday evening on Fox News' "The Will Cain Show," Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced that DHS will be suspending all grants to non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
Noem told Cain that DHS had:
stopped all grant funding that is being abused by NGOs to facilitate illegal immigration into this country. So, it's amazing to me the hundreds of millions of dollars that have spent by the federal government, that has been sent to NGOs to facilitate this invasion of our country. So, I've taken action to stop those funds, to reevaluate them,
It's sometimes hard to believe that this rube was one wayward coconut to the dome of Kamala Harris away from being the leader of the free world. But alas, here we are. Former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz (D) emerged from the shadows for his first nationally televised interview with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.
And it seems Tim has a case of the sads. The Minnesota Governor lamented about losing the election and related to the feeling of "fatigue" amongst supporters when it comes to that loss.
Former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Reid Out” that Republicans were making it “safe to discriminate” by going after DEI.
Abrams said, “While Donald Trump may be the avatar, he’s not an outlier as long as the rest of the Republican Party suborn what is happening. Whether it’s Stephen Miller at the podium or a U.S. senator they are all agreeing to the premise of Project 2025. Which is they want to hoard opportunity and legalize discrimination. We have spent 248 years as a nation undoing our original sins, which include slavery, silencing women, denying native Americans their citizenship a whole host of challenges.
In the Golden Age of Hollywood, studios kept a tight leash on their stars. No matter how bizarre, debauched, or anti-American the star was, the studio publicity departments ensured that the people who paid for movie tickets saw the stars as wholesome, intelligent, and patriotic.
After the debacle of Rachel Zegler’s solo press appearances for the new Snow White movie, one might think that Disney had learned that its actors aren’t safe when left to play on their own. But, noooo. This time, Anthony Mackie, the star of Disney’s newest Captain America movie, let the world know that he has nothing but disdain for America.
A first-term House Democrat is attacking White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on X after she sought to clarify a White House memo rescinding an earlier policy statement on President Donald Trump's federal funding order. "Karoline Leavitt is a Fake Christian, like so many in this Golden Calf administration," Rep. Dave Min, D-Calif., wrote on Wednesday.
It comes after the White House rescinded an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) memo that ordered the freeze of most federal grants and assistance, which was blocked by a federal judge on Tuesday.
Bob Menendez, once a powerful US senator from New Jersey, cried as he begged a Manhattan judge for leniency Wednesday — and was sentenced to 11 years in prison for selling out his lofty post for gold bars, cash, a Mercedes-Benz convertible and other bribes.
“Your honor, you have before you a chastened man,” Menendez, 71, said before choking up.
“I have dedicated my entire life to the service of others,” he said, dabbing his eyes with a tissue. “I am far from a perfect man, but I believe in my half-century of public service, I have done more good than bad.”

A ban on numerous semiautomatic firearms — rifles and shotguns — passed the Colorado Senate Affairs Committee on Tuesday and is now headed to the Senate Floor.
The legislation is SB25-003, which targets firearms state Democrats define as a “specified semiautomatic firearm.”
SB25-003 says, in part:
The bill defines a “specified semiautomatic firearm” as a semiautomatic rifle or semiautomatic shotgun with a detachable magazine or a gas-operated semiautomatic handgun with a detachable magazine. The bill prohibits knowingly manufacturing, distributing, transferring, selling, or purchasing a specified semiautomatic firearm; except that a person may transfer a specified semiautomatic firearm to an heir,
Some people living in South Florida are reporting that family members who showed up to regularly scheduled appointments with immigration officers were detained on Monday in Delray Beach. Nearly a dozen people could be seen standing outside the parking lot of an office in Delray Beach called BI Incorporated, a company which according to its website, supports the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with operating the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, an alternative to detention known as ISAP. Outside the immigration supervision office in Delray Beach, concerned friends and family members spoke to NBC6 on condition of anonymity. One woman said
