A judge ordered a Chicago landlord last month to pay $80,000 to former tenants after the landlord threatened to call ICE on them during a verbal dispute in June 2020, according to court documents. The case is the first to reach a judgment under the state’s 2019 Immigrant Tenant Protection Act, according to the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, which filed the case on behalf of the tenants. “Everyone has rights under the rule of law regardless of their actual or perceived immigration status.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has agreed to sign a mineral deal with the U.S., President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, announced Thursday.
"I think Zelensky has offered to sign it, and we'll see if he follows through," Witkoff said.
The agreement was in a letter Zelensky sent to Trump this week, following the blow-up in the Oval Office last week.
Witkoff told reporters that Zelensky may have a way to mend ties with Washington. He revealed that the Ukrainian leader’s letter to Trump, which included an apology, was well received, suggesting “there’s a path back” to the White House for Zelensky.
"President Zelensky has demonstrated that he's intent on that good-faith
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump signed proclamations honoring American women and Irish Americans in the Oval Office Thursday afternoon.
A woman identified as Lindsey Halligan presented the ceremonial proclamations to Trump.
"The first of which is a proclamation that proclaims March 2025, as Women's History Month, in honor of all the wonderful women in your administration, all the wonderful women in America. And in honor of everything you've done for women and this administration, Halligan told the president.
The Trump administration is expanding its mass deportation effort to include families in the country illegally — and ICE is opening two previously-shuttered Texas detention centers to hold them, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to The Post Thursday. The families targeted by this new wave of President Trump’s mass deportation raids “all … have final deportation orders from federal judges,” said DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin.
On Wednesday, Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) provided yet another example of her desire to score cheap political points through childish stunts rather than focusing on America’s safety.
During a House Oversight Committee hearing on sanctuary cities, Stansbury launched a profanity-filled tired rather than asking poignant questions of the failed Mayors of sanctuary cities testifying before the committee.
According to Stansbury, President Trump’s efforts to remove child rapists, murderers, and other violent illegals from our streets is “absolute bulls***.”
The $3 million rental home Hunter Biden claims is now “unlivable” after the California wildfires — leaving him broke and unable to continue a 2023 lawsuit he filed — appears unscathed even as all the homes around it burned to the ground.
The former first son, 55, was living in the four-bedroom Malibu home with his wife, Melissa, and their son, Beau, when the raging Palisades Fire tore through his neighborhood in January, sources confirmed to The Post.

“Like many others in that situation, [Hunter] has had difficulty in finding a new permanent place to live as well as finding it difficult to earn a living,”
We've been covering how extremely anti-Trump Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) has been, especially recently, throwing out all sorts of accusations about President Donald Trump. Just when it seems she couldn't go any further, she comes up with a worse comment. Democrats' performative tricks weren't merely limited to the outbursts in the chamber on Tuesday night when Trump gave a speech before a joint session of Congress. Crockett did her own event, "24-Hour State of the People Marathon," meant to counter Trump's speech. It was then that she made some rather noteworthy remarks about Trump, immigration, and black people.
Three heroic passengers were able to detain a 17-year-old boy who allegedly dressed as a maintenance worker to board a Jetstar flight at an Australian airport — with a shotgun and ammunition, police said.
Terror swept through Sydney-bound Flight 610 on Thursday morning when the boy, who has yet to be publicly identified, snuck through a hole in the security fencing at Avalon Airport and boarded the flight with a shotgun in tow, Victoria police said in a statement.
The teen, however, was quickly overpowered by three civilians who tossed caution to the wind to save their fellow passengers, pinning the 17-year-old to the floor until security arrived.
On Tuesday, President Trump gave his first major speech to a joint session of Congress, and it was a big deal. One thing in particular, though, had ears perking up all across the Great Land - you could almost hear them. That thing was the president's announcement of an intended natural gas pipeline, from the North Slope to the Kenai Peninsula town of Nikiski.
And it will be a huge, beautiful pipeline:
“My administration is working on a gigantic natural gas pipeline in Alaska, among the largest in the world, where Japan, South Korea and other nations want to be
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya is feeling pretty good these days. In 2020, almost the entire scientific community lined up against his critique of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Stanford health economist turned COVID contrarian was savaged by the medical establishment for daring to question Dr. Antony Fauci and the gurus at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) whose policy prescriptions led to massive deaths in nursing homes, a "lost generation" of kids whose education was needlessly short-circuited, and an economic blow from useless "lockdowns" that we're still trying to recover from five years later.
Bhattacharya was one of the primary endorsers of the "Great Barrington Declaration."
A federal judge on Thursday denied a motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) that would have reinstated fired USAID contractors.
US District Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee, said the contractors failed to prove they would face irreparable harm that would warrant immediate relief.
The judge also said it is a contract dispute. [Tweet]
The Hill reported:
A federal judge on Thursday declined to immediately spare U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) contractors from mass firings, letting move forward a core part of the Trump administration’s effort to dismantle the agency.

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on March 6, making amendments to tariffs recently imposed on Mexico and Canada. According to the orders, goods that fall under the U.S.–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA) will be exempt from tariffs until April 2. The USMCA was enacted during the first Trump administration.
“USMCA compliant goods will not have a tariff for the next month until April 2,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a statement. “That includes autos, and the autos were the lead in getting this deal done.”He said Canada and Mexico have done a good job of offering the United States help in curbing fentanyl trafficking.
The Biden presidency might have been the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the American people. A shocking investigation by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project has revealed that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden's signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen — except for one.
What makes this revelation particularly damning is that the only document confirmed to have Biden's actual signature was his letter announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. Let that sink in for a moment.
Remember when House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) revealed his discussion with Biden when Biden couldn't recall signing the executive order halting LNG exports?
Representative Al Green (D-TX) said Thursday on “TMZ Live” that he will file articles of impeachment after he was escorted out of the House of Representatives for interrupting President Donald Trump’s address to Congress.
When asked about possibly being removed from Congressional committees, Green said, “Well, I had a reporter to approach me and call this to my attention. I am here to serve the people of the 9th Congressional District. I believe that I have taken this oath that I have taken, and I pledge to do that. I would hope that they wouldn’t. I would not agree with it.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has cancelled the lease for the Obama Presidential Library in Chicago, according to reports.
DOGE included the library, which is currently in Chicago’s Hoffman Estates, in its extensive list of federal lease terminations. However, the library was already scheduled to closed and move to a new location, so the termination of the lease may not have any meaningful or major impacts.
According to Fox News:
The DOGE website did not provide a timetable for the closures, although a NARA spokesperson told Fox News Digital the Hoffman Estates library was scheduled to close in late Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 and move to College Park

President Trump on Thursday stripped security clearances of the employees at DNC law firm Perkins Coie.
Recall that Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid law firm Perkins Coie more than $1 million to hire oppo research firm Fusion GPS to peddle the bogus ‘Trump-Russia’ dossier during the 2016 election.
Former British spy Christopher Steele compiled over a dozen memos alleging the Russians had blackmail on Trump and that his associates were conspiring with the Kremlin to win the 2016 election.
An emergency warning has emerged from India after some of the country’s leading scientists identified an alarming surge in deaths among the Covid-vaccinated population.

One summer day in 1924, a train stopped at a station on Long Island. A man carrying a harmless-looking package ran to catch it. He struggled to board the train as it departed. One of the train employees on board reached for his hand as another on the platform gave him a boost from behind.
The package fell onto the tracks. It turned out to be a package of fireworks. The fireworks exploded.
So, the exploding fireworks injured someone, right?

On Thursday, Administrator Kelly Loeffler announced some pretty significant changes to how the Small Business Administration comports itself, including pulling all SBA regional offices out of sanctuary cities and taking steps to ensure that all SBA aid is legal and above board. In an interview on Fox Business, she laid out the plan: There are, right now, approximately 33 million small businesses in the United States. Roughly 3.7 million of those have less than 10 employees. These small businesses create 64 percent of new jobs. Small businesses are the major drivers of job growth;
The best thing to come out of President Trump’s joint address to Congress this week is, God willing, a total abandonment of the facade that “bipartisanship” is a worthy goal in itself.
For 100 minutes, Trump relentlessly, unapologetically championed and promoted his agenda, both what’s been done in just 42 days and what’s still to come. That’s fairly normal of a president, but there were three very special moments that I’ll forever hold dear in my heart when Trump aggressively confronted his political opponents on some very sensitive subjects,

The undiplomatic words that Donald Trump had for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week left some Washington, D.C., observers wondering how the Europeans saw the situation.(Snip)
Other foreign policy analysts recognize that Trump has many audiences outside the United States, including those in Moscow and Beijing. Many of these Trump watchers conjectured that the spectacle at the White House was meant to illustrate that Trump was willing to tilt against Ukraine in order to accommodate Putin.

When President Donald Trump returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, weapons shipments previously halted by the Biden State Department to the Israeli government were sent out the door - including 2000 pound bombs. "The U.S. authorized the release of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, Jan. 25, 2025, a munition that had previously been held back. The president told reporters at the time that those weapons had been paid for and that Israel had been waiting 'a long time' for their delivery," DOD News reported.
Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) said Thursday he would introduce resolutions to expel Democrats from their committees for their violations of decorum during the Rep. Al Green (D-TX) censure vote, likening them to children.

Social Security is as big as government programs get. Naturally, even a glance at it with DOGE’s magnifying glass found plenty that seemed — charitably — not quite right.

Senators from a key health panel on Thursday bombarded Dr. Marty Makary, President Donald Trump’s nominee to run the Food and Drug Administration, with an onslaught of questions ranging from the safety of abortion pills to seed oils.
Makary, a surgeon from Johns Hopkins University, received a warm welcome from both sides of the aisle in a cordial confirmation hearing before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. Democrats and Republicans alike asked him tough questions on many topics.
As FDA commissioner, Makary would oversee the safety and efficacy of drugs, vaccines, foods, and medical devices, playing a central role in Trump’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda.

For weeks, President Donald Trump has said that Canada should be America’s 51st state. He has mocked Canada’s economic dependence on the United States. He has condemned Canadian tariffs and trade restrictions. He has scolded Canada’s free riding on American defense. He has knocked Canada’s porous borders and drug dens. He has accused Canada of colluding with hostile foreign powers and global institutions. He has trolled our prime minister.
It’s delightful. Many Canadians are enjoying the show.
Up here in the cold white north, Trump has set the cat among the pigeons. Canada’s chattering classes are wringing their hands and gnashing their teeth.
Governor Gavin Newsom diverged from the Democratic Party’s commitment to let transgender-identifying male athletes participate in female sports this week when he acknowledged that it was “deeply unfair” for women.

President Donald Trump said in a social media post that he will issue an exemption on tariffs for most goods coming into the U.S. from Mexico, after putting in place sweeping 25% tariffs on Tuesday.
The exemption would apply to goods compliant with the North American free trade agreement reached during Trump’s first term, and will last for one month, Trump posted after speaking with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. Trump didn't say whether that exemption would also apply to goods from Canada that complied with the trade deal.

The more we look back on the shenanigans of the now-thankfully-departed Biden administration, the more it seems like the Energizer Bunny on crack: It just keeps getting dumber, and dumber, and dumber.Case in point: In the name of "green energy," the Biden administration shoveled $3 billion in taxpayer money as a "loan" into a solar panel company called Sunnova Energy. Now that company is going bankrupt - and that's not even the worst part.
Sunnova Energy said on Monday that its current finances are "not sufficient to meet obligations and fund operations for a period of at least one year from the date we issue
A border wall upgrade construction project canceled by President Joe Biden is back underway in the Texas Rio Grande Valley.
U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks announced that the Trump administration ordered the restart of a Biden-era-canceled border wall upgrade project along the Texas border with Mexico.
Banks reported that the project will replace six-foot guard rails with 18-foot bollard panels. They are designed to “provide impedance and denial capabilities” to illegal aliens crossing the border from Mexico into Texas.
” These panels were originally planned for installation during the prior Trump Administration, but the contracts were cancelled (sic) by the Biden Administration,” Banks stated.
Former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Wednesday on CNN’s “News Central” that President Donald Trump is a “petty tyrant’ surrounded by “complicit flunkies.”

A convicted double murderer is set to die by firing squad in South Carolina on Friday — the first execution of its kind in the US in 15 years.

He also rejected a lethal injection after three previous inmates took more than 20 minutes to die after receiving the fatal dose of pentobarbital, his lawyers said. Sigmon became the first South Carolina inmate to choose the state’s new firing squad method of killing,

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter said, potentially putting them on a fast-track to deportation.
The move, expected as soon as April, would be a stunning reversal of the welcome Ukrainians received under President Joe Biden's administration.
The planned rollback of protections for Ukrainians was underway before Trump publicly feuded with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week. It is part of a broader Trump administration effort to strip legal status from more than 1.8 million migrants allowed to enter the U.S. under temporary

President Donald Trump is considering implementing a new travel ban on Muslim nations in the coming weeks.
Reuters first reported that Trump is mulling a new order that would impact Afghans and Pakistanis.
It comes after Trump's ban during his first term that kept travelers from seven total Muslim nations from entering the United States, which the Supreme Court upheld.
The president said on the campaign trail that he would expand his travel ban to include people from Gaza in the wake of the Hamas terror attack on Israel.
Trump is expected to announce several new executive orders later this afternoon as he marches full steam ahead during his first 100 days.

Cairo—The Hamas militant group on Thursday brushed off President Donald Trump’s latest threat and reiterated that it will only free the remaining Israeli hostages in exchange for a lasting ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas accused Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of trying to back out of the ceasefire agreement they reached in January. The agreement calls for negotiations over a second phase in which the hostages would be released in exchange for more Palestinian prisoners, a permanent ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
Hamas spokesman Abdel-Latif al-Qanoua said the “best path to free the remaining Israeli hostages” is through negotiations on that phase, which were supposed to begin

President Donald Trump's speech to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night was one for the ages. The day after, many political pundits commented that they believed this was Trump's best speech and one of the best political speeches ever given. Democrats attempted to smear Trump's address with a vast array of childish and petty shenanigans. When those didn't work, all semblance of any humanity collectively escaped them as many of Trump's guests were introduced and their stories told. For all of their virtue signaling by wearing pink, yellow and blue, or black, Donald Trump made Democrats reveal who they really are.
On March 4, 2025, President Donald J. Trump stood before a fractious Congress and a watching nation to deliver not just a speech, but a historic call: America’s renewal is at hand. His 99-minute address to the Joint Session — a marathon of ambition and unapologetic nationalism — marked the bold opening salvo of a second term that promises to reshape the Republic. For conservatives, this was a manifesto of reclaimed sovereignty, a rejection of globalist malaise, and a blueprint for a civilization poised to reclaim its dynamism. Yet as the dust settles, we must weigh this vision’s brilliance against its burdens, for the path to greatness
Sunday, its largest circulation day of the week, the New York Times ran a lengthy, triple-bylined story intended to stir up fear and anger over the Trump White House’s climate policy. It was no example of civically minded journalism, just another propaganda piece to fuel the global warming tale.
Right from the top, the reporters tell readers that President Donald Trump “has severely damaged the government’s ability to fight climate change, upending American environmental policy with moves that could have lasting implications for the country, and the planet.”
“Could?” That’s what the entire global warming scare is built on, coulds and maybes and possiblies.
Censorship isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it moves in silence, disguised as diplomacy, business deals, or “cultural sensitivity.” It happens in places like China or Iran, until suddenly, it’s standing at your own front door, deciding what you can see, hear, and say. That’s exactly what is happening right now in the United States as the Chinese Communist Party wages an aggressive war, not with tanks or missiles, but with threats, pressure, and censorship, all aimed at silencing a dance performance.I know this because I’ve lived it.
I was born in Iran, where history isn’t just rewritten, it’s erased.
The Supreme Court’s main job is to settle questions of law that arise in “cases or controversies.” But it also supervises the federal judiciary. Sometimes, that means getting outside of the Court’s comfort zone of an orderly appeals process when individual judges single-handedly provoke a separation-of-powers crisis.On Wednesday, in Department of State v. AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition, the Court fell down on that job. It issued a vague order doing little to rein in D.C. federal district Judge Amir Ali from inserting himself above the president in running the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Special Government Employee Elon Musk delivered a hefty amount of shade towards Elissa Slotkin (MI) after the Democrat senator called him out during her response to President Trump's joint address to Congress on Tuesday.Fox News senior national correspondent Aishah Hasnie briefly questioned Musk about Slotkin's remarks as he walked with Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI).
"What do you want to say to Elissa Slotkin?" Hasnie wondered. "She called you out by name."
You could see the wheels churning away inside Musk's head. This is, after all, the same man who recently said his cellphone number was "something 8008."
“Uh ... I don’t know who she is,” Musk replied.
The Department of Government Efficiency draws two extreme reactions from budget-focused observers.
On one side, you have cynics rolling their eyes and arguing that the truly consequential problem is not overpriced government boondoggles but rather entitlements like Medicare and Social Security and interest on the national debt.On the other, you have optimists who believe that if we just find and eliminate enough waste, fraud and abuse, we can balance the budget -- unless too much of the savings is handed out as "DOGE dividend" checks. They point to outrageous spending on "gambling monkeys" and luxury pickleball courts as proof that government is a bloated, reckless disaster.
At this writing, legacy and social media are filled with stories about President Donald Trump's phenomenally successful address before Congress Tuesday night, and congressional Democrats' pathetic and embarrassing display. In addition to Rep. Al Green's antics and the little protest paddles Democrat senators and representatives waved, they also refused to stand or applaud for anything, including Trump's recognition of 13-year-old DJ Daniel, who has been fighting brain cancer.

As a lifelong Democrat, I never imagined I would watch my own party embarrass itself so thoroughly — and so publicly — as it did during Tuesday’s joint session of Congress.
From obnoxious booing to childish protest signs to a sitting member of Congress having to be physically removed from the chamber, Democrats turned what should have been a solemn, dignified event into a bad reality show.
And for what? To go viral on TikTok? To book a slot on MSNBC to brag about their “resistance”?
Nothing was more disgraceful than when my colleagues refused to stand or clap when 13-year-old DJ Daniel, a brain-cancer survivor, was made an honorary Secret Service agent.
Get ready to be bombarded with ghoulish ads warning about grandmothers dying and children denied needed cancer treatments “just to make billionaires like Elon Musk even richer.”
The ads, paid for by a Democratic PAC, started running Monday. And Monday night Democrats attending President Donald Trump’s speech to Congress held up paddles with the message “Save Medicaid.”
It’s demagoguery in full swing to combat Republican efforts to control federal spending on Medicaid and stabilize the nation’s debt. Gov. Kathy Hochul is claiming, “House Republicans just voted to rip health care away from up to 1.8 million New Yorkers — all to bankroll giveaways for billionaires.”
In virtually every election for almost a half-century, aspiring leaders in Greenland have promised to seek independence from Denmark. And following every election, it hasn’t happened. But this year, with US President Donald Trump loudly proclaiming his ardor and Denmark reaffirming the importance of its ties to the Arctic island, independence has catapulted to the top of the agenda.
Candidates campaigning for the March 11 election are being forced to take a position on the matter—all the leading ones are in favor of a split—and voters want them to lay out a vision of what that might actually look like and when it could happen. “Suddenly, there’s a huge independence movement,”

Now that Republicans have control of Congress and the White House and Trump’s “government efficiency” czars are looking hard at slicing the funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), it bears repeating: “public broadcasting” is not serving the public. It serves a narrow slice of America, an audience of wealthy liberal elites.
A recent survey of NPR listeners found only 11 percent described themselves as very or somewhat conservative, 21 percent as middle of the road, and 67 percent of listeners said they were very or somewhat liberal. Those people should pay for all of it.
