- BREAKING: Trump Sues IRS for $10 Billion
AP Photo/Alex Brandon President Donald Trump is suing the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department, and is seeking $10 billion in damages. Trump, Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization sued the IRS and the U.S. Treasury Department in federal court in Miami on Thursday, following the leak of their tax returns by a former IRS employee in 2019 and 2020. Trump Jr. and Eric Trump run the Trump Organization. “The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets, which was then illegally released to millions of people,” a Trump spokesperson said in a statement. The leaks came from Charles Littlejohn, a former IRS contractor who worked for Booz Allen. He pleaded guilty to unauthorized disclosures of tax returns and was sentenced… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.34 mins ago - Trump Suggests He Appointed Doug Burgum to Cabinet Because Wife Is Attractive: ‘I Saw Them Riding ...
President Donald Trump suggested that he hired Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum because his wife was attractive, claiming on Thursday he initially wanted to work with Burgum because “anybody that has somebody like” that indicates success. Trump made his remarks from the Oval Office while signing an executive order to address drug addiction, where he was joined by, among others, Doug and Kathryn Burgum. Mrs. Burgum spoke in support of the bill, discussing her own recovery from addiction. At the close of the event, the president said he first saw the couple in a video, where it was Kathryn– not Doug– that caught his eye. “I saw them riding horses in a video and I said, ‘Who is that?’ I was talking about her, not him,” said Trump, gesturing to Kathryn. “They explained it, and I said, ‘I’m going to hire him’ because anybody that has somebody like you to… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Corporation for Public Broadcasting’s Harrison Delivers Final Remarks
On Thursday, Corporation for Public Broadcasting President and CEO Patricia Harrison delivered her final remarks during the organization’s last board meeting. In remarks obtained by Radio World, Harrison said that following Congress’ rescission of federal funding for public media, CPB realized it could no longer operate in the manner the American public has come to expect. “In a profound irony, it is precisely because public media remains so essential to American civic life that CPB’s final act must be to dissolve for the greater good,” Harrison said. Harrison, 87, became CEO of CPB in 2005. CPB’s board of directors voted to dissolve the organization at the beginning of the month, after 58 years of operation. On the Senate floor Thursday, Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) honored Harrison in his remarks. “Throughout her tenure, Harrison ensured that CPB’s investments strengthened service to local communities and delivered lasting public value,” he said.

AP Photo/John Locher Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Maine arrested an asylum-seeker and hauled him away, leaving behind his one-month-old baby and wife, who does not have a driver’s license. The Portland Press Herald reported on Wednesday that on Jan. 21, Hassane Barry and his wife, Nene Barry, who are asylum-seekers from Guinea, were on their way home from an appointment to obtain a passport for their baby. But Hassane Barry never made it home, as his car was abruptly boxed in by four unmarked vehicles. The Press Herald described the arrest: Armed and masked federal agents stepped out and said Hassane’s name. They were here for him. “There’s a baby in the car,” Barry told the agents. “There’s a baby.” Agents shattered his driver’s side window. Glass sprayed over the baby’s car seat, Nene Barry said. Her husband was arrested and pulled into an unmarked police car. Officers… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago - Fox’s Martha MacCallum Gobsmacked After Hakeem Jeffries Pleads Ignorance on Mass NYC ArrestFox News’ Martha MacCallum was taken aback when House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) pleaded ignorance on Thursday about a mass arrest of anti-ICE protesters in New York City. The two debated the potential for a partial government shutdown over funding for the Department of Homeland Security during Thursday’s episode of The Story with Martha MacCallum, when the host brought up anti-ICE protests in a neighboring district. “In New York, your home state, the other night there was a protest in a hotel in Manhattan, and the New York Police Department went in and they said either — because I want to point out that the Trump administration, they’re saying you cannot put yourself in between a law enforcement operation,” MacCallum said. “You can certainly protest but you can’t put yourself in between a law enforcement operation.” “So, there were 65 New Yorkers arrested by the New York… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
- LPFM Advocate Warns FCC of Possible Side Effects of More Consolidation
A group that advocates for low-power FM stations is worried that any changes made by the FCC to current ownership rules for commercial broadcasters will have consequences on smaller community-based radio services. In fact, it said if the commission relaxes ownership limits for primary broadcasters, it should update LPFM’s ownership limits in unison, to ensure consistency, fairness and preservation of community-based service. The Low Power FM Advocacy Group (LPFM-AG) is among the thousands of filers who have commented during the FCC’s proceeding on broadcast ownership rules, which could result in major reforms and the elimination of AM and FM ownership caps. “If ownership limits are relaxed, the resulting increase in local market power will have predictable downstream effects on smaller broadcasters unless complementary measures are considered,” according to the group’s filing. The recent reply comments, signed by Dave Solomon, executive director of LPFM-AG, outline its concerns about further radio… ...[TheTopNews] Read More.4 hours ago
