One group of people is hearing a different message from the Trump administration than most Americans: the nation’s judges. The disparities have emerged across a range of lawsuits and issues amid President Donald Trump’s aggressive political agenda. “You’re saying one thing in public.

She added: “The court is not going to be gaslit.”

“’The Bell Curve,’ which argues that Black men and women are genetically less intelligent than white people, is still there,” the paper reports. “But a critique of the book was pulled.” The video Jeffries shared is on the subject of a purge of books from the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis at the direction of Hegseth’s office, on the premise that they are DEI-related content.

A disaster relief agency?!

Since the confrontation, Trump has demanded an apology from the Maine governor. "We need a full throated apology from the Governor herself, and a statement that she will never make such an unlawful challenge to the Federal Government again, before this case can be settled," he wrote on social media.

Janet Mills over the issue of transgender athletes.
