Journalist Don Lemon was arrested overnight, his attorney and multiple sources with direct knowledge told CBS News on Friday.

A day after the video was posted, Newsom issued a statement on X saying that his office was reviewing reports that Oz was targeting the Armenian American community. Oz fired back in his own statement on X, saying, “if there were a real defense for California’s fraud crisis, we’d hear it. CMS and law enforcement will keep doing the actual work: going after fraudsters, period.”California has been investigating healthcare fraud since a 2020 Los Angeles Times investigation that uncovered widespread Medicare fraud in the state’s booming but loosely regulated hospice industry. AdvertisementSince 2021 the state Department of Justice has charged 109 people with hospice-related fraud and filed 24 civil suits related to hospice fraud.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump on Friday announced he will nominate Kevin Warsh to be the next chair of the Federal Reserve. Warsh, a former Fed governor, was widely expected to get the nomination. He was on Trump’s short list along with three other candidates, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, Fed governor Christopher Waller and BlackRock senior executive Rick Rieder.

This year, I’ve been trying my best to get better sleep at home. Why might reading before bed help you sleep? They wanted to see whether reading before you sleep improved sleep quality – it wasn’t just about falling asleep. They found that sleep quality improved among those who read before bed compared to those who didn’t.

Public outrage over the violence of federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Border Patrol has given Senate Democrats a powerful lever. The funding measure passed the House before Saturday’s shooting of VA intensive care nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. They demanded an end to “roving patrols,” with federal agents required to use warrants and coordinate with local and state law enforcement officials. Meanwhile, footage circulated today of a woman in Minnesota who left her home to warm the car for her kids and got taken by federal agents. In the last week, since federal agents shot Pretti, former presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden have all spoken out to condemn his killing and the violence of federal agents as well as the administration’s lies.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGPresident Donald Trump boasted about his support from Nicki Minaj’s “community” during a speech he delivered Wednesday. Trump didn’t elaborate on Minaj’s “community,” but he has a history of boasting about his support from Black communities. Trump made inroads with Black voters in 2024, but exit polls have shown that Black voters still overwhelmingly voted for former Vice President Kamala Harris. Tillery believes Trump’s remarks about Minaj’s “community” were an example of “othering” — meaning the president views whiteness as universal. “By emphasizing her ‘community,’ Trump implicitly marks her as outside the default political mainstream — the community rather than our community,” he said.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGCriticism over ICE’s aggressive handling of immigration enforcement operations is growing by the day. It’s a practice that differs greatly from how law enforcement is generally conducted in the U.S. Mask-wearing police officers are not the norm. As excessive force by ICE officers has escalated, some civil rights advocates, law enforcement experts and legislators are pushing for unmasking agents. It’s highly unusual for law enforcement in the U.S. to wear masks. AdvertisementUltimately, the masks federal agents wear are just part of the story here, Chin said.
