US President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the rarely used Insurrection Act to quell unrest over federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis.

He threatened to send in troops following a night of protests and vandalism in the Minnesota city after an agent shot a man in the leg.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said an officer opened fire after he was attacked by three Venezuelan nationals with a shovel and broom handle.

Tensions have been running high in Minneapolis since an immigration agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, 37, last week, sparking nationwide protests.

The Insurrection Act is a 19th Century law that allows active-duty military personnel to be deployed for law enforcement duties inside the US.

Trump has previously said he might invoke the 1807 law elsewhere without ever doing so.

The president posted on Truth Social that he would use the law if Minnesota officials failed to stop the "professional agitators and insurrectionists".

DHS said Wednesday's shooting occurred after a car chase involving a Venezuelan national, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, who was previously convicted for driving without a licence.

The agency statement said after the pursuit, Sosa-Celis got out of his vehicle and fought with the federal agent.

Two more migrants from Venezuela who entered the country illegally, Alfredo Alejandro Ajorna and Gabriel Alejandro Hernandez-Ledezma, came out of a nearby apartment, according to the agency.

All three attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle, DHS said, before the agent opened fire, hitting Sosa-Celis in the leg.

The agent was taken to hospital. Sosa-Celis was also taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. All three Venezuelans were arrested.

CBS Evening News’ new MAGA-coded anchor Tony Dokoupil suffered a ratings plunge on his first four nights on the job, new figures have revealed.

He lost as much as a fifth of the most important part of his audience between his first show on Monday Jan. 5 and Thursday Jan. 8.

Dokoupil was given the anchor seat once held by Walter Cronkite by new CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, herself a controversial figure who was installed in the job by CBS’ new owner, billionaire nepo-baby David Ellison.

On Tuesday the network said he would interview the ultimate MAGA figure, Donald Trump, after using a bogus Trump claim as fact on air on his second week in the job.

Dokoupil had a rough first performance in the primetime slot on Monday Jan. 5 as he stumbled over the teleprompter and introduced himself twice in under two minutes. The broadcast saw several seconds of dead air between segment transitions.

According to Nielsen’s preliminary measurement obtained by the Daily Beast, Dokoupil drew in more than 4.4 million total viewers for his first show.

But ratings for the program steadily declined as the week went on. On Tuesday, 4.3 million total people tuned in, 4.1 million on Wednesday, and 3.9 million on Thursday—an 11.4% loss over the week.

More worryingly for CBS bosses, ratings in the key 25-54 demographic, which TV advertisers closely watch, were down 19.44% from Monday to Thursday.

Monday saw 607,000 people in the demo tune in, Tuesday saw 570,000 viewers, Wednesday saw 543,000 viewers, and Thursday saw just 489,000, according to Nielsen’s Big Data + Panel measurement.

President Donald Trump praised cartoonist-turned-conservative influencer Scott Adams after learning of his death on Tuesday.

Adams, known for the white-collar office-humor "Dilbert" comic strip, died at age 68 following a battle with cancer. His ex-wife, Shelly Miles, tearfully announced his passing during a livestream on the "Real Coffee with Scott Adams" YouTube channel.

Trump reacted to Adams' death on Truth Social, writing, "Sadly, the Great Influencer, Scott Adams, has passed away. He was a fantastic guy, who liked and respected me when it wasn’t fashionable to do so. He bravely fought a long battle against a terrible disease. My condolences go out to his family, and all of his many friends and listeners. He will be truly missed. God bless you, Scott!"

WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump on Thursday unveiled what the White House is calling the “Great Healthcare Plan,” a broad framework aimed at lowering health care costs as Congress continues to debate the future of Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies.

While the administration said the plan would deliver relief to Americans facing rising medical expenses, critics argue it lacks the specifics needed to reshape the system.

The plan focuses on several core goals:

Lowering prescription drug prices
Reducing insurance premiums
Increasing price transparency
Holding insurance companies more accountable

The framework also proposes changing how federal health care assistance is delivered, sending payments directly to households to help cover medical costs rather than routing subsidies through insurance companies.

Calling it “the biggest thing to happen to healthcare maybe since the beginning,” Trump urged lawmakers to codify the framework into law, saying congressional action is needed to expand on steps his administration has already taken.

Those steps include policies such as “most favored nation” drug pricing, which ties the cost of certain medications in the U.S. to lower prices paid abroad. Administration officials argue that broader legislation would build on those efforts and reduce costs more quickly for patients.

Dozens of Republicans joined all voting Democrats on Wednesday evening to reject a GOP-led effort to eliminate federal funding for a nonprofit organization accused of bias against conservatives.

Lawmakers voted 127 to 291 to strip $315 billion in funding for the State Department’s democracy promotion programs, including the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), out of a government funding package, falling well short of a majority. Republican Arizona Rep. Eli Crane, who offered the amendment, argued that although NED has the ostensible goal of promoting democracy, the organization has repeatedly promoted “anti-American objectives” and undermined freedom of speech.

The vote split House Republicans with 127 GOP lawmakers — mostly members belonging to the conference’s conservative flank — supporting the amendment and 81 joining Democrats in voting “no.”

“Tonight, the Uniparty rejected my amendment to defund NED,” Crane wrote on X after the vote concluded. “[Eighty-one] ‘republicans’ voted with democrats to fund this rogue organization that fuels global censorship and domestic propaganda.”

“Although its name suggests a force for good, its mission has drifted far from its Cold War origins. This is a classic tactic of the swamp, where bad policy and corruption hide behind a noble title,” the Arizona Republican said on the House floor Wednesday, before the vote.

“We’ve learned that this organization has engaged in global censorship, domestic propaganda, and regime change politics,” Crane added.

The White House recommended completely defunding NED in May, citing reports that the organization doled out money to entities that attacked Republicans and sought to blacklist conservative media outlets.

The Federal Reserve has quietly delivered nearly half a trillion dollars to Wall Street with few strings attached over the past few months through an obscure government financial program intended for banks struggling to make cash payments.

These cash infusions signal instability in the broader financial sector. The New York Federal Reserve, a regional branch of the larger central bank that works to maintain the country’s financial stability, kicked off the new year by dumping nearly $97 billion into the banking sector since December 31, 2025.

The move is the latest in a series of major cash transfers the New York Federal Reserve has recently delivered to Wall Street.

The infusions began with an $11 billion transfer on June 30. In October, the transfers became much more frequent, culminating in a massive $50 billion infusion on Halloween, as first reported by investigative news outlet DCReport. In total, after doling out little to no money since July 2020, the New York Federal Reserve has transferred more than $420 billion to Wall Street in the past seven months — a record amount from the program.

For comparison, that lump sum is nearly equivalent to the pot of money that Congress passed to bail out the banks during the 2008 financial crisis under the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

Amid the deluge, the central bank has encouraged Wall Street to make use of the program and lifted its $500 billion cap on such transactions, meaning there is no limit to how much banks can borrow to meet their cash liquidity needs.

All of these cash infusions, issued through an arcane and newly restructured division of the New York Federal Reserve branch, amount to some of the largest cash bailouts since the COVID-19 pandemic sent shock waves through financial markets in 2020.

Experts argue that this uptick in lending indicate that banks do not have the liquid cash on hand to make payments and dole out loans.
