‘He’s a Good Guy… Probably’: Trump Gives His Son Greenlight to Bring Back ‘The Apprentice’

‘He’s a Good Guy… Probably’: Trump Gives His Son Greenlight to Bring Back ‘The Apprentice’

President Donald Trump on Thursday gave Donald Trump Jr. his blessing to potentially host the rumored return of the hit show The Apprentice — although the endorsement wasn’t exactly overwhelming.

Another Bezos/Trump grift is loading. We had the Melania doc nobody wanted and now an Apprentice reboot with Don Jr taking his daddy's seat which nobody wants. I'm sure there'll be a nice fee for Trump Inc. for use of Trump branding & the NYC Trump Tower as well. - Mvelace

SHOCKER! Senate Passes Worthwhile Resolution!

The U.S. Senate has passed a resolution prohibiting senators from trading on prediction markets, following concerns about the possibility of insider trading on the platforms.

The ban, which passed on Thursday with unanimous consent, will be effective immediately.

“Serving in Congress is an honor, not a side hustle,” said Sen. Bernie Moreno, (R., Ohio), who introduced the resolution. “Americans deserve to know that their leaders are here for the right reason!”

But what remains murky is exactly what Edwards is under investigation for. This Congress has seen a high volume of members being investigated by the Ethics Committee.

Supreme Court weakens a landmark Civil Rights-era law and aids GOP efforts to control the House

The Supreme Court on Wednesday weakened a landmark Civil Rights-era law that has increased minority representation in Congress and elsewhere, striking down a majority Black congressional district in Louisiana and opening the door for more redistricting across the country that could aid Republican efforts to control the House.

Starving Sailors Do Not Make Military Ready Sailors

It's information that proud parents of U.S. Navy sailors just don't want to hear: their child may be eating lousy food while fighting a war in the Middle East.

Gut-turning pictures of food served to service members on two major U.S. warships fighting the Iran war, shared with USA TODAY by concerned family, prompted an outcry online and outrage among some national leaders. And family and friends of sailors and Marines remain worried that the meals served to their loved ones deployed at sea are not keeping them nourished and well fed.

LOL.  Putin Said He'd Take 1000 Pounds of Enriched Uranium Off Trump's Hands.

President Trump on Wednesday said he asked Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call for a ceasefire in Ukraine and also discussed the U.S. war against Iran.

Trump said Putin offered to help with “enrichment,” presumably in reference to the idea that Russia could take about 1,000 pounds of enriched uranium, the fuel needed for a nuclear weapon, from Iran.

States Trying To Protect Kids Online Because Congress Won't

State prosecutors are turning up the heat on social media and artificial intelligence companies over their safeguards for children as federal lawmakers remain at an impasse on the issue.
