    Watch: Trump appears to snub RFK Jr’s wife, actor Cheryl Hines

    President Donald Trump appeared to ignore Cheryl Hines, the actor married to his Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, at tonight’s UFC fight.

    In the past, Hines has said she supports her husband, not the president, but has since been seen socializing at Mar-a-Lago.

    Famous for her role in Curb Your Enthusiasm, the internet delivered and someone added the famous theme music to the moment.

    The New York Post later reported that the two were seen together, with the president holding her hand as he spoke with Hines and Kennedy.

    Trump says fate of ICE deportees at notorious prison up to El Salvador president

    The Trump administration stated on Saturday that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland resident mistakenly deported to El Salvador, is “alive and secure” at a terrorism confinement center there.

    BlackRock CEO thinks we might already be in a recession

    As the stock market turbulence prompts fears that the U.S. could soon be in a recession, an investment management firm executive believes we’re already there.

    In just a week’s span, the market has endured historic drops — after the president unveiled his new “Liberation Day” tariffs — and historic gains — after Trump announced a 90-day pause. But with some levies still in effect and others set to return in a few months, the gains haven’t curbed fears of uncertainty over the future of the U.S. economy.

    Kelly Rissman reports from New York.

    ICYMI: Judge allows Trump administration to deport Columbia student

    An immigration court judge has determined that Donald Trump’s administration can deport a Columbia University student activist for his involvement in pro-Palestine demonstrations on campus.

    The administration’s claims that Mahmoud Khalil poses “adverse foreign policy consequences” for the United States is “facially reasonable,” according to assistant chief immigration judge Jamee Comans.

    The arrest of Khalil — who is currently detained in a Louisiana facility more than 1,300 miles from New York, where his U.S. citizen wife is imminently expected to give birth — has sparked international outrage and fears that the Trump administration is moving to crush political dissidents, starting with campus demonstrations against Israel’s devastating campaign in Gaza and U.S. support.
