“I'm all about having law enforcement have tools to be able to hold criminals accountable.”
“I think that's important that we do that. And no one's been stronger on law enforcement than me.”
“I think this has happened very quickly. I think people are right to be concerned.”
“I wanted an AI bill of rights that could have addressed this and others, other issues.“

“These cameras, the license plate readers, I think it's out of control.”
@RapidResponse47@AFergusonFTC If schools or licensing providers are knowingly issuing credentials to people who haven’t earned them, that’s a serious fraud and public-safety issue. Investigate it, prosecute wrongdoing where the evidence supports it, and shut down the loopholes.

A deadly wall of water tore through the Grand Canyon over the weekend, leaving one person dead and about 15 others missing as crews race to search the devastated terrain.
The flash flood ripped through Bright Angel Canyon and the Phantom Ranch area, destroying nearly all footbridges across Bright Angel Creek and forcing at least 62 people to evacuate.
Now the damage is creating another major problem. Floodwaters knocked out the Transcanyon Waterline, the critical pipeline supplying water to the park, triggering strict water restrictions and shutting down overnight lodging.

NEW: Karoline Leavitt speaks out ahead of her last day as White House press secretary.
"It's a little bit bittersweet. It's bitter because I'm leaving a job that I love so very much, and it's been the honor and blessing of a lifetime to work for this president, President Trump. There will never be another like him."
Leavitt is stepping down after 20 months in the role, citing a desire to spend more time with her young family and newborn daughter while remaining a top outside advisor to the administration.
"They're just at a critical time in their life where they need their mom home a little bit more, so I look forward to spending more time with them, but continuing to serve the president as a top advisor on the outside." | @foxandfriends
The White House says the Iranian regime is already reeling, and President Trump is pulling "every economic lever" to increase the pressure.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says inflation in Iran is above 100% and the regime is struggling to pay its police and military, while also dealing with the damage inflicted during Operation Epic Fury.
Trump's goal, she says, remains unchanged: making sure Iran "can never obtain a nuclear weapon, period."

Stay strong, @nickshirleyy.
The country is watching. 🇺🇸

NEW: A federal judge shuts down Texas' drag show restriction again, blocking the state from enforcing a law that carried fines of up to $10,000 for businesses.
Judge David Hittner rules the measure violates the First Amendment and offers supporters of the law a blunt response if they find the performances offensive: "The solution is relatively simple ... just don’t go."
It is the second time Hittner has struck down the law after the 5th Circuit sent the case back to him for further review.
