[b]Hungry At Sea: USS Abraham Lincoln, USS Tripoli Crews Report Food Shortage Amid Iran Deployment.[/b]
“Dan F., whose daughter is a Marine aboard the USS Tripoli, told USA Today he was alarmed after seeing a photo of her meal. “A lunch tray, two-thirds empty, carried one small scoop of shredded meat and a single folded tortilla,” he said. Another image from the USS Abraham Lincoln showed “a small handful of boiled carrots, a dry meat patty and a gray slab of processed meat.”

[b]County prosecutor charges ICE agent with assault for pointing gun at people on Minneapolis highway.[/b]
“There is no such thing as absolute immunity for federal agents who violate the law in the state of Minnesota,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty told a news conference.”

[b]They’ve been detained by ICE and ordered deported. Judges, including tohse appointed by Trump, are releasing them from custody.[/b]
“A POLITICO analysis of immigration detention cases has found that federal judges have ordered bond hearings and, more often, outright release for more than 400 people detained under these circumstances. And the rebukes have come from judges appointed by every president since Ronald Reagan.”

[b]The Clever New Lawsuit That Could Finally End ICE’s Reign of Terror in Blue States.[/b]
“But many legal scholars, and at least some judges, believe there is a path around this obstacle. As the New York Times’ Adam Liptak explained in February, this idea was put forth by Yale Law professor Akhil Amar in a 1987 law review article (though it was largely overlooked at the time). Professors Carlos Manuel Vázquez and Steve Vladeck fleshed out the theory in an important 2013 article that has only grown more relevant since. These scholars argue that states can authorize lawsuits against federal officials who violate constitutional rights. In other words, state law can provide for monetary damages where federal law does not.”

[b]Judge rejects Trump lawsuit to block Hawaii from filing climate lawsuit.[/b]
“A federal judge this week rejected the Trump administration’s pre-emptive lawsuit from last year to block the state of Hawaii from suing fossil fuel companies over climate impact concerns.”

[b]Lawmakers and advocates were gaining momentum on federal support for child care until the president backtracked on his campaign promise.[/b]
“President Donald Trump’s rejection this month of federal support for child care upended significant bipartisan work to address an issue that families emphasize is driving up costs, according to advocacy groups and lawmakers involved in the efforts.”

[b]Pilot Files Lawsuit to Challenge Renaming of Palm Beach Airport After President Trump.[/b]
“Florida statutes governing public facilities reflect a consistent legislative framework in which local entities manage and control airport operations,” Poncy writes in the complaint. “HB 919 departs from the framework by mandating a specific naming outcome without standards, findings or procedural safeguards.”
He adds: “This departure reflects an unstructured and unreasoned exercise of legislative power.”
Poncy says the renaming efforts would also cause “asynchronous updates” across systems like air traffic control communications and navigation databases.”

[b]Trump may believe he is the messiah – but his attack on the pope could prove costly for JD Vance.[/b]
“Alienating Catholics is not the smartest move: they are the US’s biggest religious swing voters. They largely voted for Biden in 2020, but, in 2024, Trump won the group by a 10- to 20-point margin. Unless he makes good on his threat to run for an unconstitutional third term, Trump doesn’t have to worry about courting the Catholic vote again himself, but he hasn’t made life easy for his Catholic vice-president, JD Vance, who is generally seen as Trump’s successor. Vance has been very quiet about all this, causing Denise Murphy McGraw, the national co-chair of Catholics Vote Common Good, to call him out and state that silence is complicity.”

[b]…and Megyn Kelly Kelly called Trump’s explanation “such a f—— lie” during a recent taping of her podcast. [/b]
“Take it down and just say you’re sorry or don’t say you’re sorry and take it down, but don’t try to gaslight us. We can see,” she said.”

[b]Ranking Member Raskin Opens Sweeping Investigation into “U.S. Special Envoy for Peace” Jared Kushner’s Foreign Entanglements and Staggering Conflicts of Interest.[/b]
“Mr. Kushner’s investment firm, Affinity Partners, has amassed approximately $6.16 billion in assets under management—including $1.2 billion in the past year alone—with an extraordinary 99 percent of its funding derived from foreign nationals. These include sovereign wealth funds operated by the governments of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. At the same time, Mr. Kushner has assumed a central role in sensitive geopolitical negotiations across the Middle East and beyond.
Despite explicit public assurances that he would avoid both government service and fundraising during President Trump’s second term, Mr. Kushner has done precisely the opposite. He has inserted himself into the world’s most volatile global conflicts as one of the United States’ chief negotiators all while deepening his financial reliance on, and entanglement with, foreign governments.”

[b]‘A trend that can’t be ignored’: Dems have made up ground in nearly every election since Trump took office.[/b]
“A POLITICO analysis of 229 state and federal elections since Trump’s inauguration shows Democratic candidates outperformed Harris in 193 of them. On average, Democratic candidates overperformed Harris by 5 points. In a handful of special elections, they have pulled more than 20 points to the left.
It is a warning sign for Republicans that has continued to flash across the country every few weeks. Consistent overperformances in special elections have been an indicator of midterm shifts in the past, and the trend over the last 15 months is particularly strong. In the two-year cycle of special elections heading into 2018, margins shifted to the left in about two-thirds of special elections, according to The Downballot. In November of that year, Democrats netted 40 seats.”

[b]Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.[/b]
“On friday, april 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.”

[b]Erika Kirk’s high school talk sparks furious backlash from parents.[/b]
Parents at an Arizona high school have objected to an event that would see Erika Kirk, the chief executive of conservative group Turning Point USA, speak on campus during the school day, prompting district officials to move the event off-site and after hours.
The controversy unfolded at Pinnacle High School in north Phoenix, where a student-led club affiliated with Turning Point USA had invited Kirk to address members during the lunch period. 
Parents raised concerns about student safety and disruption to classes, particularly after Kirk recently canceled another public appearance citing threats.”

[b]LOL: Trump came to Arizona to rally young voters. An older crowd greeted him.[/b]
“The megachurch in Phoenix was supposed to be a venue for President Donald Trump to drum up support among the young voters who helped deliver him to the Oval Office. Instead, he found an audience whose members skewed older and were focused on divisions within their own party.
…
Trump traveled here, to the spiritual heartland of the Turning Point movement, to address a slice of his base that polling warns is drifting away from him. A CBS-YouGov poll last week found that 70 percent of adults under the age of 30 disapproved of his leadership. More than 60 percent said they disapproved of his handling of the economy and Iran.
…
Before Trump’s address, a lineup of conservative speakers acknowledged the rifts in the GOP, many of them widened by podcasters and influencers who helped motivate the young people who powered Trump’s victory. The war in Iran, in particular, has pitted conservative figureheads against one another, as they fight over how American Jews and Israel should fit into their party, and what it means to be “America First.”

[b]Trouble in Paradise: MAGA Is Increasingly Convinced the Trump Assassination Attempt Was Staged.[/b]
As Trump’s hold over MAGA has waned, though, an increasing number of his supporters have begun to push the narrative that the entire incident was staged.
"I think that maybe it was staged," Tim Dillon said on his show last weekend about the assassination attempt. Dillon, who was previously a staunch Trump supporter, went on to share that Trump should now come out and say, “Some people are going to be upset by this, but we staged the assassination attempt in Butler to show people how important it was to vote for me and how far I was willing to go for them.”
Some of these claims began months ago. In November, former Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson promoted the idea that the FBI was somehow involved in covering up the shooting, writing on X that the “FBI lied” about the shooter's online footprint.”
