In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the order is aimed at stopping the Democrat chaos at airports. Long wait times at TSA checkpoints at airports across the country are still impacting travelers as Congress has failed to pass a spending bill that would end the partial government shutdown and fund Homeland Security.

President Trump is explaining why he voted via mail-in ballot for an upcoming Florida special election. Because of the fact that in president of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot because I felt I should be here instead of being in the beautiful sunshine. Trump's been against mail-in voting overall, or as he called it, mail-in cheating. When pressed about recently being in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump said again, he couldn't be there.

Trump went on to note several reasons why mail-in voting is valid. Bruce Fiesti will be singing at the No Kings rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, outside of it. The Bruce appearance will be just one of thousands of protests scheduled for that day. He told the Minnesota Star Tribune that he wants to try to meet the moment.

There's a Supreme Court siding with Cox Communications in its billion dollar lawsuit over pirated music. More than 50 labels joined together to sue Cox in 2018, accusing the internet service provider of failing to respond to thousands of infringement notices, cut off internet access for repeat infringers, or take other piracy deterrent steps. However, justice's determined Cox communication cannot be held liable for piracy by his internet service subscribers of songs owned by Sony Music, Warner Music Group, Universal Music Group, and other labels. The 9-2-0 ruling overturned a lower court's decision

ordering a new trial to determine how much the internet service provider owed the record labels. I'm Tammy Trujillo.
