White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed Friday she will return to President Donald Trump’s super PAC, MAGA Inc., after leaving her post in the administration.

Leavitt, 28, told reporters aboard Air Force One that she plans to work for MAGA Inc., a Trump-aligned super PAC, though she did not specify her title or responsibilities.

The move sends Leavitt back to a familiar political operation. She served as a spokesperson for MAGA Inc. before joining Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and later becoming White House press secretary.

President Donald Trump’s latest trade fight with Canada has a faraway force at its center: China.

As Washington presses Ottawa to do more to prevent Chinese steel, aluminum and other goods from reaching the U.S. market through North American supply chains, Canada is pursuing renewed economic ties with Beijing, adding a fresh complication to already tense trade talks.

At the heart of the fight is transshipment — routing goods through an intermediary country, sometimes after limited processing, before they reach their final market. U.S. officials fear steel and aluminum made in China or elsewhere could be processed in Canada or Mexico and then enter the United States as regional content.

The internet is ablaze after controversial socialist Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed of Michigan invoked second lady Usha Vance in taking a dig at Vice President JD Vance, leading some top voices to question how he would treat female staff should he win in November.

"El Sayed is now attacking Wives of US leaders? What a guy," said former Florida state Rep. Ben Graber on X.

El-Sayed, running against Republican former Congressman Mike Rogers, launched the attack on Saturday after Vance slammed him for his stated adherence to Sharia law during a rally in Ohio, suggesting the practice would be completely alien to his grandfather, whom he calls his "Papaw."

🚨 ENES KANTER FREEDOM MAKES A STATEMENT ABOUT WOMEN'S SPORTS

Former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom has announced, in a satirical video, that he is "declaring" for the 2027 WNBA Draft.

Freedom signs what appears to be an official letter while wearing a shirt that reads, "Invest in women. Pay women. Hire women."

The stunt is designed to challenge the debate over transgender participation in women's sports and the policies governing eligibility in professional women's basketball.

Freedom's argument is straightforward: if a league's eligibility rules allow athletes who were born male to compete in women's basketball, what happens when a 6-foot-11 former NBA player claims eligibility?

Critics say the comparison oversimplifies the WNBA's actual policies and the broader debate over transgender athletes. Supporters argue that Freedom's stunt highlights what they see as a fundamental issue of competitive fairness, physical advantages, safety, and opportunities for female athletes.

Regardless of where you stand, the stunt has reignited a controversial question:

🏀 Should professional women's sports have eligibility rules based on biological s*x, gender identity, or a combination of factors?

What do you think?

🚨 TRUMP SLAMS NYC TAX POLICY: President Donald Trump is criticizing New York City's proposed pied-à-terre tax, arguing that higher taxes on second homes could drive wealthy residents and investment out of the city.

Trump has described the policy as an example of poor economic management, warning that aggressive taxation could contribute to an exodus of residents, businesses, and capital from New York.

Supporters of the tax argue that wealthy property owners should contribute more toward the city's public services and housing needs. Critics say additional taxes could make New York less competitive and encourage high-income residents to leave.

🇺🇸 Do you think New York should raise taxes on second homes, or would that push more people and investment out of the city?

A sustained flow of oil through the Gulf is critical not only for global energy markets, but also for fuel prices and economic stability worldwide.

🇺🇸 Do you believe the U.S. and its Gulf allies are doing enough to protect global energy security? Share your thoughts below.

🇺🇸 QUESTION OF THE DAY: No religious law should override the U.S. Constitution or American law.

Supporters of state-level measures targeting the use of foreign or religious legal systems argue that American courts should apply U.S. law equally to everyone, regardless of religious or cultural background.

Critics argue that broad "Sharia law" bans can be unnecessary because the Constitution and existing laws already prevent religious law from overriding American law, while potentially raising religious-liberty concerns.

The core principle is simple: American courts must be governed by the Constitution and U.S. law.

Do you support every state passing laws specifically banning the use of Sharia law in courts, or are existing constitutional protections enough? 🇺🇸⚖️

🚨 DEVASTATING: A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia on Monday, causing widespread destruction and killing more than 250 people, according to the latest reports.

One dramatic video captured the terrifying moment part of a historic church structure in Manizales began to collapse as the earthquake shook the city. Dust and debris filled the street as terrified residents and police scrambled for safety.

The earthquake was centered near San José del Palmar in the Chocó region and was felt across major Colombian cities, including Pereira, Cali, and Bogotá, as well as in neighboring countries.

More than 1,600 buildings have been damaged, with dozens completely destroyed, while rescue crews continue searching through the rubble for survivors. Authorities have also reported numerous aftershocks as emergency operations continue.

🙏 Please keep the people of Colombia, the victims' families, and the rescue workers risking their lives in your prayers.
