McLaughlin alleged the ICE agent who shot Good was "fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public."

“I think psychologically you have to keep calm in the heat and not panic. It’s only two or three days, and then it goes down again.” “I’ve got my little fan where I busk. So I cheat a little bit. Got my fan that blows on me. But just keep singing, and the sweat is all part of the performance, I think.”

President Donald Trump speaks to House Republican lawmakers during their annual policy retreat in Washington DC, on Tuesday. Evan Vucci/APPresident Donald Trump declined to say in an interview Thursday if he spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin after the United States seized a Russian-flagged oil tanker in the Atlantic Ocean. US forces boarded and seized the tanker on Wednesday after a weekslong chase on the high seas that has escalated tensions with Moscow and piled further pressure on its ally Venezuela. Last month the US Coast Guard attempted to seize the vessel while it was heading to Venezuela to pick up oil, then operating under the flag of Guyana. But the ship’s crew refused to be boarded and made an abrupt turn into the Atlantic.

Videos emerged almost instantly of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent shooting and killing a motorist. Trump critics tended to quickly label it murder, arguing the fleeing woman was turning her car away from the officers. Americans have been quite skeptical of ICE for much of the past year. The same UMass poll also showed they opposed ICE using military-grade weapons 55%-30% and using physical force with protesters 54%-31%. But there is also some potential danger for Democrats in looking too sympathetic toward the woman, if Americans don’t come to echo that sympathy.

MORGANTOWN, Pa. — The Trump administration says it is focused on protecting unaccompanied migrant children. License revokedIn November, Pennsylvania revoked one of the three licenses held by different units within the Morgantown facility, Abraxas Academy. Wolozin, who interviewed five of the migrant boys but has not reviewed their files, said one appeared to have severe cognitive disabilities. The vast majority of the migrant children in government custody live in shelters where they move freely around a campus. Community activists pressured city and state officials to stop jailing migrant children there, citing lawsuits and the growing costs of defending against them.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON – President Donald Trump may be losing his mojo on Capitol Hill. Meanwhile, dozens of House Republicans voted to override Trump’s vetoes on two separate pieces of legislation that passed unanimously last year. The others downplayed Trump’s attack, in yet another sign that Republicans may be getting more comfortable ignoring his outbursts. (Another theory for Trump’s veto is that he’s mad Colorado won’t release from prison Tina Peters, one of his false electors from the 2020 election.) The House later overwhelmingly supported the effort, in yet another embarrassing rebuke of Trump, who fought the release of the files every step of the way.

The main mansion reaches 70 feet on the south side, according to the White House Historical Association. Baranes told the panel that the White House had abandoned plans to make the ballroom larger.

The commission’s membership now tilts heavily toward Trump, including two other White House officials and nine Cabinet members. The Trump White House has compressed or bypassed some of those steps.

ingwervanille via Getty Images The flu tends to come on faster and stronger than a common cold. While many flu symptoms overlap with the signs of other respiratory viruses, you can’t tell which virus you have unless you take a flu or COVID test. It’s important to contact your doctor when you notice early flu symptoms. The flu vaccine reduces the risk of hospitalization or severe disease, and also decreases the length of time that you’re sick. “Getting vaccinated can reduce your likelihood of having a second flu through the course of the flu season,” Hopkins said.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGWASHINGTON – The House of Representatives on Thursday passed a three-year extension of expanded Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies that had lapsed at the beginning of the year in a rebuke to House GOP leaders and President Donald Trump. AdvertisementThursday’s bipartisan House vote resulted from four Republicans signing on to a Democratic “discharge petition,” a legislative tool that allows lawmakers to circumvent the majority party’s leadership team, which normally controls action on the House floor. While the shutdown utterly failed to “save health care,” as Democrats had hoped, it succeeded in raising awareness that more than 20 million people would see their health insurance premium costs increase by 100% or more this year. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), one of the moderate House Republicans who signed the discharge petition, said he thinks of Thursday’s vote as a way to spur negotiations. Lawler and several other moderate House Republicans last year worked on bills that would extend the subsidies for less than three years, with income limits and other changes designed to reduce the cost of the extension.
