A Donald Trump-appointed federal judge in Texas ruled that the president unlawfully invoked the Alien Enemies Act and blocked the administration from quickly deporting some alleged members of a Venezuelan gang. US District Judge Fernando Rodriguez of the Southern District of Texas said Trump had unlawfully invoked the sweeping 18th century wartime authority to speed up some deportations. His decision means Trump cannot rely on the law to detain or deport any alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua within his district. The ruling is a significant blow to Trump’s decision in March to invoke the Alien Enemies Act, which…

With thousands of excuses to choose from, coming up with a reason not to workout is often easier than going to the gym. Fortunately, lack of motivation is a universal struggle when it comes to exercising – even for the people most dedicated to the gym – personal trainers. For suggestions on how to remain dedicated to your fitness goals and get moving, we asked personal trainers how they stay motivated – and how they keep clients motivated as well. He also always remembers that any exercise is good – even if it isn’t your best workout. “This doesn’t mean…
Vice President JD Vance traveled to Capitol Hill late Wednesday to cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate that killed a bipartisan effort to rebuke President Donald Trump’s trade policy. Earlier in the evening, the Senate rejected the resolution that would have effectively blocked Trump’s global tariffs by revoking the emergency order the president is using to enact them. Two senators who were set to vote for the resolution, Republican Mitch McConnell and Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse, were absent, allowing the resolution to fail 49-49. Senate Majority Leader John Thune then moved to ensure that tariff opponents were unable to bring their…

Perhaps the only greater challenge for congressional Democrats than President Donald Trump’s sledgehammer approach to governing is a growing anxiety that the party’s base voters don’t feel they are doing enough to fight back. So, as Trump rallies Tuesday to mark his first 100 days in office, Democrats have planned a series of high-profile speeches, sit-ins and events designed to demonstrate to voters that they are doing everything they can to fight back against the administration’s controversial actions. Democrats in the Senate plan to hold the floor open late into the evening, delivering speeches criticizing what Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has…
, If you’ve ever winded yourself struggling to get your burpees in – we may have some good news. According to personal trainer, Patrick Murphy, the trainer behind Zac Efron’s enviable body, burpees are one of the exercises “everyone’s doing in the gym” that are actually awful for you. The move, which incorporates jumping, tightening, speed, and fat burning, is often touted as the one move that incorporates all your muscles – and can be done by almost anyone. But according to Murphy, they make more sense in the military – where the exercise originated, and where the risk of…
— Vice President JD Vance applauded in the front row of the Rose Garden as President Donald Trump announced a massive new round of tariffs on Wednesday – an economy-rattling policy he promised would bring back manufacturing jobs. But for years before joining Trump’s ticket, Vance argued the opposite. Between 2016 and 2019, Vance said repeatedly that American manufacturing jobs were lost for good, and that “protectionist” trade policies would do little to bring them back. Vance’s comments are another example of his transformation from a self-described “Never Trump guy” to a full-fledged MAGA backer in the Senate and on Trump’s ticket,…

The merch is out and available for a price on the Trump Organization website: $50 for a “Trump 2028” hat; $36 for a shirt that reads “Trump 2028 (Re-write the Rules).” The rules aren’t so easily undone. Donald Trump can’t be elected again in 2028 under the constitutional amendment limiting presidents to two terms. Any number of Trump’s Republican allies will tell you that a third term is inconceivable given the enormous hurdles required to pass a new amendment. “He’s not going to run for another term,” former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich . But, he added, Trump has reason to talk about it:…
Physical exercise may be helpful in lowering the risk of the onset of dementia, and experts say the best time to start adding them to your routine is now. Health information of over 500,000 people, who did not have dementia when recruited, was analyzed over 11 years for a prospective cohort study published in July 2022. Participants were asked to fill out questionnaires detailing their involvement in physical activities. Their susceptibility to dementia, based on family history, was also tracked. The risk of developing dementia decreased by 35% for people who regularly participated in vigorous activities like exercise and sports. And doing regular…
