Ford has refused to fire the factory worker who heckled President Donald Trump last month. Thomas "TJ" Sabula, 40, was suspended after calling Trump a "pedophile protector," but United Auto Workers Vice President Laura Dickerson says the 40-year-old is back working and does not have a negative mark on his personnel file. Cameras captured Trump, 79, responding to the heckle by flipping Sabula off at a plant in Dearborn, Michigan, and saying, "F--k you." Dickerson said that the president also told the auto worker, "You're fired." The union leader told a Washington crowd on Monday that it would never happen. "This ain't The Apprentice," Reuters reports Dickerson said, referring to Trump's pre-politics life as the host of the reality TV show.

A CNN anchor was left in disbelief as one of the president's top health goons claimed the MAGA administration was a top advocate for vaccines. Speaking of the record outbreak of measles in the U.S., particularly in South Carolina, Dana Bash asked Dr. Mehmet Oz on State of the Union Sunday: "Is this a consequence of the administration undermining support for advocacy for measles and other vaccines?" "I don't believe so," the Trump-appointed Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator responded. He then said, "We've advocated for measles vaccines all along. Secretary Kennedy has been at the very front of this."
Bill Carns, former chairman of the Nye County Republican Central Committee, was arrested on Saturday, Jan. 31. He faces five charges, including creating or distributing child pornography, using the internet to control explicit images of someone under the age of 16, as well as gun-related charges, including possessing a sawed-off shotgun, possession of a dangerous weapon, and having a firearm without a serial number. "I've known him for about four years, and it's devastating," said Pahrump resident Edward Bevilacqua. "These are horrific allegations." "I can't believe the sheriff would do something to this gravity without evidence, without going through the procedures, and I think the charges speak for themselves," said Leo Blundo, current chairman of the Nye County Republican Party.
