Record floodwaters began slowly receding in Washington state on Friday after triggering evacuations, inundating communities and prompting dramatic rescues from rooftops and vehicles. But authorities warned that waters would still be high for days, and that danger from potential levee failures remained. "This is not just a one- or two-day crisis," Gov. Bob Ferguson said at a news briefing. "These water levels have been historic, and they're going to remain very high for an extended period of time." President Donald Trump has signed the state's request for an emergency declaration, Ferguson said. An unusually strong atmospheric river dumped a foot (30 cm) or more of rain in parts of western Washington over several days and swelled rivers. No deaths have been reported, Ferguson said.
The diabolical Trumpf junta ordered the TSA to provide the names of all air travelers to ICE which then matches the list against its own database of people subject to deportation and sends agents to the airport to detain them.
The FCC chair is privately meeting with several Republicans ahead of next week's hearing.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was immediately caught lying to a congressional committee after stating, "We have not deported U.S. citizens or military veterans." In response, Rep. Seth Magaziner introduced U.S. Army veteran and Purple Heart recipient Sae Joon Park via Zoom. Park appeared remotely from Korea because DHS ordered the 55-year-old"who was shot twice while serving in Panama in 1989"removed from the country this past June, despite being a lawful permanent resident since coming to the United States with his mother at age seven.
After further questioning from Democratic members, Noem announced that she had to leave to attend a FEMA meeting, despite previously informing the committee that she was available for an additional hour. Noem remained in the Capitol building after leaving the hearing. It was also reported that the FEMA meeting had been cancelled.
For years, Sen. Ron Johnson has been spreading conspiracy theories and misinformation about COVID-19 and the safety of vaccines. He's promoted disproven treatments for COVID-19 and claimed, without evidence, that athletes are "dropping dead on the field" after getting the COVID-19 vaccination. Now the Wisconsin politician is endorsing a book by a discredited doctor promoting an unproven and dangerous treatment for autism and a host of ailments: chlorine dioxide, a chemical used for disinfecting and bleaching.
Driving is easily one of the most dangerous tasks in our daily lives. And our own good driving is only half of the equation when it comes to staying safe on the road " the driving habits of those around us also play a pivotal role.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Democrats released a selection of photos from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein on Friday, including some of Donald Trump, Bill Clinton and the former Prince Andrew. The 19 photos released by Democratic lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee were a small part of more than 95,000 they received from the estate of Epstein, who died in a New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges. The photos released Friday were separate from the case files that the Department of Justice is now compelled to release. The photos were released without captions or context and included a black-and-white image of Trump alongside six women whose faces were blacked out. The committee did not say why their faces were blacked out.

A grand jury declined for a second time to re-indict New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday, refusing to resurrect a mortgage fraud prosecution encouraged by President Donald Trump, according to a person familiar with the matter. It's another major blow to the Justice Department after the dismissal of earlier charges against James and another longtime Trump foe, former FBI Director James Comey, in a stunning rebuke of the Trump administration's efforts to prosecute the president's political opponents.
ERIKA KIRK WENT ON FOX NEWS on Wednesday to mark the three-month anniversary of her husband Charlie's assassination. But her goal wasn't just to commemorate that tragic moment. It was to staunch the cataracts of conspiracy theories that have been promoted by Candace Owens, who's earned tens of millions of YouTube views for her wild, unfounded speculation about Kirk's death. Without naming Owens, Erika Kirk jabbed at an unnamed person making "hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode going after the people that I love." "My message to them is to stop"to stop," Kirk said, turning directly to the camera. As the segment ended, Kirk held up her late husband's new, posthumously published book and said its title, giving it an imperative intonation to reinforce the apparent message to Owens: "Stop, in the Name of God."

"The Honorable US District Judge James K. Bredar (Maryland) has largely denied motions to dismiss filed by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), TKO Group Holdings, and Vince and Linda McMahon in the "Ring Boys" child sexual abuse case, allowing the majority of survivors' claims to proceed to discovery. A detailed memorandum held that plaintiffs plausibly alleged WWE's duty and knowledge, and that claims against the defendants may move forward."
