Former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) was sentenced Friday to seven years and three months in prison, putting a bookend on the more than two-year scandal that captivated Washington and brought the New York Republican from a GOP trailblazer to an embarrassing stain on the party.

The sentence marks the latest development in the drama that surrounded the former congressman, who earned praise as the first openly gay Republican to win a House seat as a nonincumbent in 2022 before becoming the face of controversy after his background was exposed as a series of outlandish lies.

President Trump in an interview published Friday was adamant that he is serious about his talk of adding Canada as the 51st state, something Canadian leaders have outright rejected.

The president sat down for an interview with Time magazine, during which a reporter suggested Trump may have been “trolling a little bit” with his repeated comments that Canada should be absorbed into the United States.

“Actually, no, I’m not,” Trump said in the interview, which was conducted Tuesday.

“I think Canada, what you said that, ‘Well, that one, I might be trolling.’ But I’m really not trolling,” Trump added. “Canada is an interesting case.”

The president repeated his frequent claims that the U.S. is losing money to Canada because of trade deficits and that there is no need for America to import Canadian products.

A federal judge in San Francisco on Thursday blocked Donald Trump's administration from withholding federal funding from several so-called sanctuary jurisdictions that have declined to cooperate with the Republican president's hardline immigration crackdown.

U.S. District Judge William Orrick issued the injunction at the request of 16 cities and counties nationally led by San Francisco that in a lawsuit filed in February argued that the administration was unlawfully trying to force local officials to cooperate with federal immigration arrests.

Those jurisdictions include the cities of Minneapolis, New Haven, Portland, St. Paul, Santa Fe and Seattle. They argue that the administration is seeking to punish them for exercising their rights to limit the use of their resources for federal civil immigration enforcement.

Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested April 25 by federal authorities who are investigating whether she tried to help an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest after he appeared in her courtroom last week, officials confirmed.

Dugan, 65, is scheduled to appear before U.S. Magistrate Judge Stephen Dries at 10:30 a.m. April 25 on the second floor of the Federal Courthouse in downtown Milwaukee, according to two federal sources.

Brady McCarron, spokesman for U.S. Marshals Service in Washington, D.C., confirmed Dugan was arrested at about 8 a.m. at the Milwaukee County Courthouse and is in federal custody.

FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X about the arrest. He later deleted the post.

TVNL Comment: History repeats itself as they come for the judges.

Russia launched one of the most devastating bombardments on Ukraine's major cities since the war began overnight Thursday, killing at least 12 people, hours after President Donald Trump said he believed he had struck deals with both sides to end the war.

“Vladimir, STOP!” Trump wrote on Truth Social after the attacks, referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing,” Trump said. “5000 soldiers a week are dying. Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!”

Trump told reporters Thursday he believed Putin would listen to his plea to halt strikes on Ukraine. He said that while there was “a lot of hatred,” “bad blood” and “disgust” between Ukraine and Russia, they both wanted peace, “but they have to get to the table.” He said he believes both sides will ultimately reach a peace agreement and added that he wants it to happen quickly.

TVNL Comment:  Yeah, that'll do it.  Just yell loudly enough to frighten Vladamir. What a great negotiator!

My cousin Ziyad was too young to die. He was sleeping at home in Khan Younis refugee camp when the bombs fell just before midnight on Friday. After they heard the explosion, my cousins Mohammed and Moatsem ran to save him, they told me, but he had already died in his bed. He was 44.

Ziyad was a social worker for Unrwa, working with vulnerable families in Gaza’s refugee camps. Every summer when I visited Gaza from my home in Canada, he would buy my little son candies from Asa’ad’s shop – now gone with Asa’ad (who was killed in October 2023) – insisting that Gaza’s candies were the best in the world.
