Trump’s ICE Has A Troubling Target: At-Risk Teenagers
Tricia McLaughlin, a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, told HuffPost in an email that ICE is “NOT” targeting young people. A wave of such transfers followed, despite approximately 98% of 18-year-old “age-outs” having been released over the past four years rather than sent to ICE detention, government records show. The Garcia Ramirez litigation began during the first Trump administration, when ICE repeatedly transferred minors who turned 18 directly to ICE jails. The teen disappeared into the black hole of adult ICE detention. Over 65,000 people now sit in immigration detention, an all-time record, and the vast majority have no serious criminal history at all.

Merriam-Webster Just Gave Us Our Favourite 'Word Of The Year'
LOADING ERROR LOADINGOxford Dictionary went with “rage bait” as its ‘word of the year’ – a term that describes deliberately divisive content. But if you ask me, Merriam-Webster’s pick – the most fashionably late of them all – is best. They went for “slop”, a word they define in this case as “digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence”. “In 2025, amid all the talk about AI threats, slop set a tone that’s less fearful, more mocking.

Leon Neal via Getty ImagesThe broadcaster also declined to provide compensation along with its apology, which Trump had demanded. AdvertisementIn a suit filed in federal court in Florida this week, Trump alleged that the BBC’s documentary was an attempt to interfere in the 2024 election and advance a “false” and “disparaging” depiction of him. He’s seeking $5 billion in damages for defamation and another $5 billion in damages for the violation of a Florida trade practices law. Previously, BBC Chair Samir Shah said the company was “determined to fight” any Trump lawsuit, according to an internal November email obtained by Sky News.

Trump Is Targeting Minnesota’s Somali Community — And They’re Trolling Him In The Most Hilarious Way
He’s recently closed in on Minnesota’s robust Somali community, calling them “garbage” and deploying ICE agents to Minneapolis to apprehend a handful of Somali men who he deems criminals. Leaders in Minnesota’s Somali community responded swiftly; in addition to protesting and alerting each other of ICE activity, they also banded together to troll conservatives online — and they’ve been doing so in the most hilarious way possible. News: Trump Goes On Another Xenophobic Rant Against Somali ImmigrantsImmigration policies aren’t just politics — they’re personal. Just to clarify, significant Somali immigration to Minnesota began in the 1990s, when a civil war forced many families to flee their homes. What’s more, a vast majority of Somalis in Minnesota — about 95% — have U.S. citizenship, per PBS.

Trump White House Opposes Preservationists' Push To Halt Ballroom Project
The administration argues in the filing that the plaintiff’s claims about the demolition of the East Wing are “moot” because the tear-down cannot be undone. The administration also argues that claims about future construction are “unripe” because the plans are not final. The administration also contends that the National Trust for Historic Preservation cannot establish “irreparable harm” because above-ground construction is not expected until April. Trump’s ballroom project has prompted criticism in the historic preservation and architectural communities, and among his political adversaries, but the lawsuit is the most tangible effort thus far to alter or stop his plans for an addition that itself would be nearly twice the size of the White House before the East Wing was torn down. A hearing in the case was scheduled Tuesday in federal court in Washington.

Donald Trump Predicts What Don Jr. Will Do When ‘I Kick The Bucket’
Donald Trump veered into a rambling and decidedly not-so-festive tangent during a White House Christmas reception on Sunday, during which he predicted what his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., will do after he “kicks the bucket.”According to the president, his son won’t stick around very long to mourn. Trump was recounting a story about how White House physician Dr. James Jones, who was in attendance, had once survived a life-threatening viper bite while hiking in the Peruvian jungle with former President Barack Obama’s daughters, when the monologue took a dark turn. “When I kick the bucket someday, I figure — I think he’ll be here for about two days,” the president suggested. “He’ll go and pay his respects, and we’ll say, ‘Where’s Don?’ He’d rather be in some jungle, or some… and he’s a really good hunter. But remember this: wildlife always wins, unfortunately, in this case.”Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisement AdvertisementWatch from the 20-minute mark here:Related...Read the original on HuffPost

Sugiuchi, a Georgia-based writer whose upcoming memoir “Unreformed” recounts her experience in a white evangelical reform school, illuminates how these pressures can escalate: “MAGA Christianity is a cult. AdvertisementLevings, author of the New York Times bestseller “A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape From Christian Patriarchy,” describes MAGA Christianity as the overlap between authoritarian Christianity and Christian nationalism. Levings calls it a malformation of the word “Christianity,” since Jesus was neither nationalist nor authoritarian. “Some people identify as MAGA because they have been taught that hyper-individualism, nationalism and white supremacy are the same as Christianity — and I think this is tragic.
