Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News that ICE and federal partners conducted a "targeted, intelligence-driven enforcement operation" on Canal Street focused on criminal activity related to the sale of alleged counterfeit goods. "During this law enforcement operation, rioters who were shouting obscenities, became violent and obstructed law enforcement duties, including blocking vehicles and assaulting law enforcement," McLaughlin wrote in a statement. "Already, one rioter has been arrested for assault on a federal officer."

US leader spews out AI trickery to mock 'No Kings' protesters, proving he is the embodiment of a political culture that confuses ridicule for strength

In Monona, a suburban city of around 9,000 residents just outside the capital city of Madison, around 400 people lined one of the busiest corners of the main street of the city. Protesters held signs in opposition to President Donald Trump, took part in cross-street chanting, and encouraged vehicles to honk their car horns in support - which dozens of cars did.

Welcome to the age of slop spectacle, where AI horrors are flushed down to you from the very top. On Saturday night, sitting president of the United States of America Donald Trump shared an extraordinarily bizarre AI-generated video of himself piloting a fighter jet labelled "KING TRUMP" while strafing droves of peaceful protestors with multiple barrages of - we swear we are not making this up - liquid diarrhea.

Organizers expected about 150 to 200,000 people, but we just spoke to one of the organizers, and they said that they now believe the number was closer to 300,000. So that's a 50% increase from the first time that we saw these protests. For anyone who doesn't remember, that was Trump's birthday. That was the day of the military parade. That shocked and alarmed a lot of Americans.

Laura when I first heard that these things were no king' protests I thought this was a RuPaul [Charles] thing, said Arroyo. You know, no kings only queens. But apparently this is anti-Trump protest. That's really what this is.

Trans people are the canary in the coal mine, but the air is getting thin for everyone,

I live in Chicago, if folks haven't noticed, and I'm not blind, right? Ellis opened the hearing. So, I don't live in a cave. I have a phone. I have a TV. I have a computer and I tend to get news. The judge said those news reports were leading her to believe the Trump administration may not be following her instructions. At least from what I'm seeing, I'm having serious concerns that my order's being followed, said Ellis from the bench.

CALLING ALL RESISTANCE FROGS! It's time once again to put your brainy-brain to the test with this week's edition of POP QUIZ PDX -our weekly, local, sassy-ass trivia quiz. And this week we'll be testing your knowledge on alllll the crazy stuff that happened this week, including "the inflatable resistance," blood-thirsty ICE dipshits, and why U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson is so afraid of naked people. 😂 But first! How did you do on our last quiz? Wow, you are exquisitely smart!

The reporter mentioned Seattle and San Francisco as two cities that have seen demonstrations, and pointed out that both cities are World Cup hosts (though San Francisco is not a host city, but part of the San Francisco Bay Area that will host games at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara). The reporter then asked Trump if the demonstrations could result in the loss of World Cup games from those host venues.

The protests stem from the news that three former players had filed a Title IX complaint claiming the school violated their federal rights by allowing a transgender athlete to compete, per NBC Bay Area. The three players are demanding that the school be stripped of its federal funding and a sex verification screening program be implemented, per the Press Democrat. The former players also claim the coach benched them after they complained about the trans player's presence, per Sacramento's KCRA.

It will be the most high-security sports event in Norway since the Winter Olympics in 1994. Anti-terror measures are in place throughout Oslo; a no-fly zone will be implemented in the skies above Ullevi Stadion and through all the tension it could be easy to forget that the national team are within touching distance of a first World Cup appearance for 27 years. Beating Israel would put them on the verge but the visitors' presence has added multiple layers of complexity and controversy.

One month after mass protests against the presence of the Israel-Premier Tech team at the Vuelta a España brought the race to its knees, the rest of the cycling world has picked up where Spanish protestors left off. It is impossible to rule the protests as anything other than a categorical success, as sponsors are fleeing, the team is changing its identity, and riders are doing everything they can to leave the team. The protests functionally ended IPT's season.
