The announcement comes on heels of Haley's loss in her home state's Republican primary to former President Donald Trump.

TOPICS: Four days after a judge ordered former President Donald Trump to pay $354 million in his civil fraud case, New York Attorney General Letitia James told that she is prepared to seize the former president's assets if he is unable to find the cash to cover the fine. «If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment, then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets» — James said. Trump was fined $354.8 million plus approximately $100 million in pre-judgment interest on Friday after Judge Arthur Engoron determined that he inflated his net worth in order get more favorable loan terms. Trump has denied all wrongdoing and has said he will appeal.

TOPICS: New details have emerged about the staggering sums of cash Massachusetts taxpayers are forking out to pay for the state's influx of illegal aliens, with vendors charging an eye-popping $64 per day to feed each person, according to a new report. The revelations come as the total cost of the crisis is expected to cost hardworking Massachusetts taxpayers $1B.

TOPICS: Four school committee members in Brockton are requesting for the Massachusetts National Guard to assist in monitoring high school students following an increase in violence on campus. In a letter sent Thursday to Mayor Robert Sullivan, the committee members write, «Recent events at Brockton High School have prompted us to seek immediate assistance to prevent a potential tragedy». The authors cite a «disturbing increase» in incidents related to violence, security concerns and substance abuse: «Recognizing the gravity of the situation, we are formally requesting that you reach out to Governor Healey and request the deployment of the National Guard to assist in restoring order, ensuring the safety of all individuals on the school premises, and implementing measures to address the root causes of the issues we are facing. We understand the gravity of this request and the importance of collaboration between local and state authorities. The National Guard's expertise in crisis management and community support can offer a vital temporary intervention, allowing for a comprehensive, long-term solution to be developed in consultation with all relevant stakeholders». A representative for Gov. Maura Healey's office stating: «Our administration is committed to ensuring that schools are safe and supportive environments for students, educators and staff. We are aware of concerns raised about Brockton High School and are in touch with local officials».

TOPICS: A New York judge on Friday handed Donald J. Trump a defeat in his civil fraud case, finding the former president liable for conspiring to manipulate his net worth and ordering him to pay a penalty of nearly $355 million plus interest that could wipe out his entire stockpile of cash. The ruling in Donald J. Trump's civil fraud case could cost him all his available cash. The decision by Justice Arthur F. Engoron caps a yearslong case in which New York's attorney general put Mr. Trump's fantastical claims of wealth on trial. With no jury, the power was in Justice Engoron's hands alone, and he came down hard: The judge delivered a sweeping array of punishments that threatens the former president's business empire as he simultaneously contends with four criminal prosecutions and seeks to regain the White House. Justice Engoron barred Mr. Trump for three years from serving in top roles at any New York company, including portions of his own Trump Organization. He also imposed a two-year ban on the former president's adult sons and ordered that they pay more than $4 million each. One of them, Eric Trump, is the company's de facto chief executive, and the ruling throws into doubt whether any member of the family can run the business in the near term. The judge also ordered that they pay substantial interest, pushing the penalty for the former president to $450 million, according to the attorney general, Letitia James. Meanwhile, MAGA truck drivers are threatening to boycott New York City in support of former president Donald Trump, whose hometown's courts have ruled against him.

TOPICS: The district attorney and the lawyer prosecuting Donald Trump for allegedly trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat in Georgia have taken the witness stand - denying claims their romantic relationship presents a financial conflict of interest. Trump and some of his 14 co-defendants argue Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis should be disqualified from the prosecution due to her relationship with lawyer Nathan Wade. The pair went on trips together - with Mr Wade booking them while he was being paid by Ms Willis' office. Mr Wade and Ms Willis have testified that their relationship, which is said to have come to an end last summer, began in early 2022 - months after the district attorney appointed the lawyer in November 2021. However, Robin Yeartie, a former friend and employee of Ms Willis, contradicted the timeline and said the pair began dating shortly after they met in 2019. Taking the witness stand, Ms Willis angrily pushed back against what she described as "lies" about her relationship with Mr Wade.

TOPICS: The White House's national security adviser and leading lawmakers on Capitol Hill sought to allay public concerns on Wednesday after the House Intelligence Committee chairman warned of a «national security threat» related to a «destabilizing foreign military capability» so serious that President Joe Biden should declassify «all information» about it. Two sources familiar with deliberations on Capitol Hill said the intelligence has to do with Russia wanting to put a nuclear weapon into space. This would not be to drop a nuclear weapon onto Earth but rather to possibly use against satellites. Still, «it is very concerning and very sensitive» — said one source, calling it «a big deal». While not addressing the subject directly, multiple members of Congress quickly described the issue as serious without stoking public alarm.

TOPICS: House Republicans impeached Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday. The House voted 214-213 to impeach Mayorkas, with three Republicans joining all Democrats in opposition to the measure. Republicans have been gearing up for months to impeach Mayorkas — the top Biden administration official who is responsible for illegal immigration disaster and non-existent security at the southern border. Also, Republican candidate Mazi Melesa Pilip lost the special election in New York's 3rd Congressional District to a Democratic candidate Tom Suozzi. Are you worried about this special election? Will there be a red wave in November?

TOPICS: Senator J.D. Vance claims that a $95 billion emergency-aid bill for Ukraine and Israel includes an «impeachment time-bomb» that could impact Donald Trump if he wins in November. Vance sent a memo to Senate Republicans on Monday claiming the package includes a provision that could tie Trump's hands if he decides to pause funding to Ukraine as part of negotiations to end the war. Some of the funding expires nine months into the next presidency, which Vance claims would prevent a future president from making his own decisions on Ukraine spending...

TOPICS: Will Biden and Trump face one another in presidential debates? There's no commitment yet. Biden's reelection campaign has repeatedly declined to commit to joining debates with Trump, his likely opponent in the November general election.

TOPICS: A special counsel report released Thursday found evidence that President Joe Biden willfully retained and shared highly classified information when he was a private citizen, including about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan, but concluded that criminal charges were not warranted. The report from special counsel Robert Hur resolves a criminal investigation that had shadowed Biden's presidency for the last year. But its bitingly critical assessment of his handling of sensitive government records and unflattering characterizations of his memory will spark fresh questions about his competency and age that cut at voters' most deep-seated concerns about his candidacy for re-election. In remarks at the White House Thursday evening, Biden denied that he improperly shared classified information and angrily lashed out at Hur for questioning his mental acuity, particularly his recollection of the timing of his late son Beau's death from cancer. Also, The Supreme Court seems poised to reject attempts to kick former President Donald Trump off the 2024 ballot, with conservative and liberal justices in apparent agreement in a case that puts them at the heart of a presidential election. A definitive ruling for Trump, the leading Republican candidate for president, would largely end efforts in Colorado, Maine and elsewhere to prevent his name from appearing on the ballot. The justices could act quickly, possibly by Super Tuesday on March 5, when Colorado, Maine and 13 other states will hold primaries.

TOPICS: Tucker Carlson, a conservative pundit and former Fox News anchor who has repeatedly questioned support for Ukraine's war effort, announced his interview with Russia's dictator and an international war criminal Putin. The interview was recorded during Carlson's trip to Moscow. Is Putin using Carlson as a propaganda tool to strengthen his regime? Is this the right time for such interview, as Putin recently declared U.S. and Europe as enemies of his regime? Has Carlson become a useful idiot for Putin's propaganda?

TOPICS: Donald Trump is not immune from prosecution for alleged crimes he committed during his presidency to reverse the 2020 election results, a federal appeals court said Tuesday. The ruling is a major blow to Trump’s key defense thus far in the federal election subversion case brought against him by special counsel Jack Smith. The former president had argued that the conduct Smith charged him over was part of his official duties as president and therefore shield him from criminal liability. «For the purpose of this criminal case, former President Trump has become citizen Trump, with all of the defenses of any other criminal defendant. But any executive immunity that may have protected him while he served as President no longer protects him against this prosecution» — the court wrote.

TOPICS: A major bipartisan border deal and foreign aid package appears on track to fail in the Senate later this week one day after its release amid relentless criticism from former President Donald Trump and top conservative Republicans House members.

The 370-page bill came together after months of negotiations led by Sens. James Lankford (R-Okla.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.). The deal includes provisions to raise standards for asylum screening and to process claims faster, ends the practice known as «catch and release» and provides a new authority to close the border to most migrants when crossings reach a set threshold. It also seeks to make it easier for migrants to get work authorization and eliminate the immigration court backlog. The full supplemental — which includes funds for the border, Israel and Ukraine aid, and other foreign policy priorities — totals $118 billion, with about $20 billion going to the border component.

TOPICS: RNC under Ronna McDaniel spent $1,5 million on flowers, limos, travelling and consultants. RNC spent $70,000 on flowers last year while the Democrats spent $795 in that period for the same category. RNC spent $116,000 on media booking and consultants while the Democrats spent nothing for that category in the same period, and the Democrats spent $235,000 on voter file maintenance while the Republicans spent $39,000 on the same. Now you know why Republicans keep losing elections. Also, MA Gov. Maura Healey, Mayor Michelle Wu and a group of local politicians did a walk-through Wednesday of the Melnea Cass recreational complex in Roxbury, where illegal alien families were soon expected to take shelter instead of sleeping on the floor of Logan Airport. Roxbury residents ripped the governor's plan to use the community center as a shelter for illegal aliens — with one woman saying the state is treating the neighborhood «like garbage».

TOPICS: Joe Biden will travel to East Palestine, Ohio, next month, roughly a year after a train derailment there caused an environmental disaster, a White House official said Wednesday. Biden has been under pressure to visit the area since the derailment on February 3, 2023. The White House has said that Biden would visit the area, but that didn't happen last year. In contrast, days after the incident, former President Donald Trump visited East Palestine – in an increasingly red Ohio – and criticized Biden's absence.

TOPICS: E Jean Carroll intends to spend the $83m awarded to her in her defamation trial against Donald Trump on something the former president «hates» — she revealed just days after the judgment. On Friday, the jury in Carroll's case decided that she should receive $18.3m in compensatory damages and $65m punitive retribution in the case pitting her against Trump. Of the $18.3m, Trump was told to pay Carroll $11m to fund a reputational repair campaign and $7.3m for the emotional harm caused by statements he made against her in 2019.

TOPICS: Three US Army soldiers were killed and more than 30 service members were injured in a drone attack overnight on a small US outpost in Jordan.

TOPICS: The Texas National Guard and state troopers are still rolling out border wire and preventing Border Patrol agents from accessing most of Shelby Park, a 47-acre Eagle Pass park that sits on the bank of the Rio Grande where thousands of illegal migrants have crossed.
