NEW: Appeals court tosses judge's contempt order in case over Venezuelans sent to El Salvador

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals has vacated a district court's probable-cause order holding Trump administration officials in potential criminal contempt for deporting alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA) despite a temporary restraining order (TRO). This ruling underscores the limits on judicial interference in executive foreign policy decisions.

WSJ: The Trump administration is preparing to sell stock in mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac FMCC 15.91%increase; green up pointing triangle in an offering it believes could raise around $30 billion and kick off later this year, according to people familiar with the matter.

The plans being discussed by some administration officials could value the companies at roughly $500 billion or more combined and involve selling between 5% and 15% of their stock, some of the people said. Still up for debate is whether the mortgage giants would IPO as one company or two separate entities.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said Thursday that it would aim to hire 8,900 air traffic controllers through 2028 as part of the Trump administration’s plan to “supercharge” recruitment and retention.

But factoring in projected attrition from training, retirements and other departures from its current workforce, the agency said its hiring push would only yield about 1,000 total additional staffers — far short of the 3,000 it says it needs to be fully staffed.

The plan follows increased scrutiny of the nation’s beleaguered air safety system in the wake of a fatal January crash near Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington, D.C. that killed 67 people, marking the deadliest aviation accident since 2001.

🚨🚨Our @TheJusticeDept attorneys just secured a MAJOR victory defending President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal alien terrorists.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed what we’ve argued for months: Judge Boasberg’s attempt to sanction the government for deporting criminal-alien terrorists was a “clear abuse of discretion” — failed judicial overreach at its worst.

We will continue fighting and WINNING in court for President Trump’s agenda to keep America Safe!

Hmm.
I trust RFK is focused on exposing the vax industry. Let's see what happens.

Don't run with anonymously sourced shit about Trump signing 'secret directives' in the Fake News.

That's it.

That's the post.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom suggested Thursday that he would resign before allowing the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) to pay a fine to the federal government over antisemitism on campus.

Several Ivy League universities have paid fines and penalties, notably Columbia (over $200 million) and Brown ($50 million) in agreements to settle claims that they let antisemitism run rampant on campus.

UCLA was the site of some of the worst antisemitism and violence in the country during the anti-Israel “encampment” protests in the spring of 2024. The Trump administration identified UCLA as one of its top ten investigative targets, and pulled $200 million in research funding — later rising to nearly $600 million — from the university last week after finding that it had violated Jewish and Israeli students’ civil rights.

The FBI on Friday announced that it had arrested Suffolk County Sheriff Steven Tompkins for allegedly extorting $50,000 from a cannabis dealer hoping to do business in the city.

Axios Boston reported that Tompkins had specifically secured $50,000 in stock and later secured a refund when the share price dropped.

Conservative accounts online were quick to highlight Tompkins's support for sanctuary city policies, though the arrest and alleged criminality appear unrelated to that issue.

NEW: Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) is eyeing a bid for Texas attorney general, two sources familiar with the matter told The Hill, as the GOP lawmaker considers jumping from Washington back to the Lone Star State.

Roy — who has served in the House since 2019 — has spoken about potentially running for the post, one of the sources said, which is open after current Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton decided to run for senate, primarying incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas).

Reached for comment, Roy told The Hill: “I’m always considering where I can best serve the people I represent to ensure we preserve and protect a free, secure, and prosperous Texas for generations to come.”
