Trump 2nd term updates: Trump says USAID is run by 'radical lunatics'

The comments came amid turmoil as DOGE took over USAID offices last week.

President Donald Trump made good on his threats to impose tariffs on some of the U.S.'s trading partners, announcing Saturday that he will levy 25% tariffs on some goods from Canada and Mexico and 10% on Chinese goods.

Experts have warned that tariffs of this magnitude will likely increase prices paid by U.S. and Trump appeared to acknowledge that “some pain” might be possible in the U.S.

Meanwhile, the Senate Finance Committee announced it will meet Tuesday, when it is expected to vote on the controversial nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for secretary of Health and Human Services.

ICE agents turned away from Chicago elementary school: Officials claim

Chicago Public Schools' Chief Education Officer Bogdana Chkoumbova claimed ICE agents showed up at Hamline Elementary School Friday morning, but were denied entry.

"We will not allow ICE agents access to CPS facilities, unless they produce a criminal judicial warrant signed by a federal judge," she said.

The Hamline Elementary School principal said ICE agents arrived at the Back of the Yards school about 11:15 a.m., according to WLS.

The principal said they followed protocols, and did not allow the agents inside.

All students and staff are safe, officials said.

"CPS will continue to protect our students and their families in alignment with the Illinois TRUST Act and Chicago's Welcoming City Ordinance," one school official said.

Trump vows to fight for abortion restrictions in March for Life remarks

President Donald Trump committed to working to further curtail abortion access during his second term as president in pre-recorded remarks from the Oval Office to anti-abortion rallygoers at the D.C. March for Life event.

Trump touted his track record working to overturn Roe v. Wade, which he called "disastrous," and other abortion measures.

"Six courageous Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States returned the issue to the state legislatures and to the people where it belongs, it became a vote of the people," Trump said.

The president also said that he would continue to advocate for further restrictions on abortion during his second term in office.

"We will protect the historic gains we have made and stop the radical Democrat push for a federal right to unlimited abortion on demand," he said.

Collins maintains her opposition to Hegseth, says she's not lobbying colleagues

Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, one of the two Republicans who voted on Thursday against Pete Hegseth’s nomination to serve as Secretary of Defense, said Friday that she was “very comfortable” with her vote but wasn’t trying to lobby her colleagues against supporting him.

“I've not tried to advocate against him. I think everybody knows the issues from the hearing, the personal interviews, and that each senator has to make his or her own decision,” Collins told reporters upon leaving a GOP caucus lunch at the Capitol.

Collins also said Trump did not reach out to her following her vote against his nominee and that she doesn’t expect to hear from him.
