She pointed to newborns, schoolchildren, pregnant women barred from delivery rooms, and elderly patients who died alone, along with what she described as lost trust in government and taxpayer money she said went to bad actors.

Yes, daylight saving time will end as scheduled this year. Clocks fall back one hour at 2 a.m. local time on Sunday, Nov. 1, moving to 1 a.m. and marking the return to standard time. The shift hands most Americans an extra hour of sleep and pushes sunrise and sunset earlier through the winter months. Under current federal law, daylight saving time runs from the second Sunday in March through the first Sunday in November, and that schedule stays in place unless Congress acts before autumn. Is daylight saving time becoming permanent Not yet, and possibly not this year either.…

Nicki Minaj found herself the subject of a presidential joke this weekend, and she answered it without saying much at all. During Saturday’s rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner, President Trump revisited the chaos of an earlier gala that was cut short after a gunman opened fire, joking that when attendees were told to get down, Minaj responded by twerking instead, framing her as the only person in the room who misunderstood the moment.

The Trump administration is dramatically expanding its use of denaturalization, the legal process that allows the federal government to strip citizenship from naturalized Americans found to have obtained it through fraud or deliberate misrepresentation. The Justice Department has filed nearly 90 cases since the start of 2026 and is aiming for at least 250 by October, a pace that would outstrip recent administrations by a wide margin. For comparison, the Biden administration brought 24 denaturalization cases over four years. Trump’s first term saw just over 100 over the same span. If the current pace holds, this year alone could exceed…
