Trump's social media video garners pushback from Arabs and Muslims in U.S. and Gaza
In a seemingly AI-generated video that the president posted on social media, images of destruction due to the war in Gaza are transformed into a glitzy resort called "TRUMP GAZA."

Looking back at 2024 is like watching a horror movie through the space between your fingers. But there was a lot of good if you look in the right places. Here's my round-up of non-political highs in an otherwise low year:

We now have a Secretary of Defense who, for the first time in history, got his job with a tie-breaking vote from the Vice President. He’s clearly unqualified for the position; even many who voted to confirm him know it.

In the new Trump presidency, we have got to remain focused. We can’t panic.
No matter how many executive orders he signs or statements he issues, our goal is the same:
We must fight to create an America based on economic, social & environmental justice.

Hegseth has defended war criminals & rejected international law. He’s a prominent advocate for privatizing the VA. He was forced to step down from leading two advocacy groups after repeated allegations of financial mismanagement, sexual harassment & alcohol abuse. I’m voting NO.

As someone who was on the Hill that day, I'm grateful to the officers who put their lives on the line to defend myself and my colleagues.
It's outrageous that the President would betray officers who defended our democracy by absolving violent insurrectionists of their crimes.

President Trump: You do not stand for law and order when you give a free pass to rioters who attacked the police.
In fact, you are signaling that violence is okay and attacking law enforcement is acceptable behavior.

If they were actively trying to start another pandemic, I'm not sure what they'd be doing differently.
New: Trump officials have paused all external communications at health agencies like CDC, FDA, NIH.
No health alerts and the famed MMWRs; no updates to key websites or social media posts.
And no indication how long the pause will last.
