Summary

A cryptic Instagram post from former FBI Director James Comey has ignited a firestorm of controversy. The Trump administration grants refugee status to 59 white South Africans facing racial persecution, sparking outrage from critics and renewed scrutiny of South Africa’s land seizure policies. The Supreme Court hears arguments on whether a single district judge can block federal policies nationwide, as it weighs Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship. Cassie Ventura returns to the stand for cross-examination as the defense presents messages suggesting a consensual relationship in the ongoing federal trial accusing Sean “Diddy” Combs. Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio will attend the inaugural mass of Pope Leo XIV, America’s first pope. 120Life: Go to https://120Life.com and use code MK to save 15% Riverbend Ranch: Visit https://riverbendranch.com/ | Use promo code MEGYN for $20 off your first order.
