1: Karoline Leavitt Tells Bill Maher Katie Zacharia “Wasn’t a Good Fit,” Says Trump Is “Far More Sane” Than His Predecessor
The former press secretary pointed to Trump’s Apprentice days and told Maher, “We had a mental patient”
Karoline Leavitt went on HBO’s Real Time Friday night and stood by President Donald Trump’s quick decision to push out Katie Zacharia after less than a week as press secretary. “As the president said, it wasn’t a good fit, and that’s okay,” Leavitt said. When Bill Maher pressed her on Trump’s temperament, she fired right back.
Why It Matters to You: The press secretary is the public’s most direct window into the White House. With the midterms less than two weeks away, who speaks for the president matters. READ MORE
2: Trump Says He’ll Send Marco Rubio to “Finish Up the Deal” in Cuba After Iran
Trump described a U.S. warship stopping “about 50 yards off the coast” as Rubio urged Cubans to seek change through a “discrete partnership with the CIA”
President Donald Trump told a Florida crowd Friday that the United States will “take care of Cuba on our way back from Iran.” He said Secretary of State Marco Rubio would be sent in to close the deal. Hours later, Rubio posted a direct message to Cubans seeking change.
Why It Matters to You: Cuba sits roughly 90 miles from Key West, and the State Department says its government threatens U.S. national security. What happens there affects migration, regional security and millions of Cuban American families. READ MORE
3: Trump Says Ilhan Omar Must “IMMEDIATELY” Resign After Feds Name Her “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi”
At an Iowa rally, the president said Omar “used a fake name to be sworn in” and called her “Not to my knowledge” answer one of the worst he has ever heard
President Donald Trump is calling on Rep. Ilhan Omar to step down after a federal court filing referred to her as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar.” Trump made the demand on Truth Social, then took it to a rally stage in Sioux City, Iowa. Omar denies wrongdoing and has not been charged.
Why It Matters to You: If a member of Congress was sworn in under a name or identity that doesn’t match federal records, voters have a right to know. The answer could decide who holds a House seat and how seriously immigration laws are enforced. READ MORE
4: Ilhan Omar Faces Expulsion Threat as Jeanine Pirro Says Her “Real Name” Is Ilhan Nur Said Elmi
Rep. Randy Fine says he will “absolutely” demand Omar’s expulsion if it isn’t automatic, while her office calls the claim “completely false”
A federal court filing has listed Rep. Ilhan Omar under a different name, and U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro is standing by it. Florida Republican Rep. Randy Fine now says he will move to expel Omar if investigators find immigration fraud. Omar’s office insists “Ilhan Omar is her real name.”
Why It Matters to You: Only U.S. citizens can serve in Congress, and expelling a member takes a two-thirds vote of the House. How this case unfolds will test whether lawmakers are held to the same immigration rules as everyone else. READ MORE
5: Trump Calls LeBron James a “TOTAL DISGRACE” Over National Anthem Video, Demands Apology
The new 76ers star was caught practicing his golf swing and jump shot during the anthem before his debut at Madison Square Garden
President Donald Trump is demanding that LeBron James apologize to America’s fallen heroes after video showed the NBA star stretching and mimicking shots while the national anthem played. “While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country!” Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social. James has not responded, and it is far from the first time the two have clashed.
Why It Matters to You: The national anthem is a moment set aside to honor the men and women who served and died for this country. The clash revives a fight over patriotism in professional sports that Trump has waged since his first term. READ MORE
