Cole appeared on “The Ben Shapiro Show” on Tuesday and slammed child sex-change surgeries. Cole, 20, was a victim of such procedures when she underwent a double mastectomy as a teenager.

“Arguing whether it’s ethical to castrate or disfigure a gender-confused child is ridiculous enough,” she told Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro. “But, also, that we’re arguing whether it’s constitutional or not is insane.”

“I mean, when the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, there is no way that they could foresee that people in the future would be using it as an excuse to perpetuate the institutional abuse of children,” she continued.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on Wednesday in the case over a Tennessee law that bans so-called “gender-affirming” surgeries or hormonal procedures on minors, including surgery, puberty blockers, and hormones. The Biden administration, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and several teenage plaintiffs are challenging the law on grounds that it violates the Constitution’s equal protection clause.

“Over the past several days, as the gravity of this very important responsibility set in, I’ve concluded that I must respectfully withdraw from consideration,” he added. “There is more work to be done for the citizens of Hillsborough County and a lot of initiatives I am committed to fulfilling.”

Chronister concluded: “I sincerely appreciate the nomination, outpouring of support by the American people, and look forward to continuing my service as Sheriff of Hillsborough County.”

Trump announced on Saturday that he nominated Chronister, who was appointed by then-Florida Governor Rick Scott to be the top law enforcement officer in Hillsborough County in 2017, to become DEA administrator in a statement that lauded the sheriff for his awards and record of service. […]

“Scott is an NFL Veteran, who, during my First Term, served as the First Executive Director of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council (WHORC), helping to lead an Unprecedented Effort that Transformed our Country’s most distressed communities,” Trump said in a statement.

“Those efforts, working together with former HUD Secretary, Ben Carson, were maximized by Scott’s guidance in overseeing 16 Federal Agencies which implemented more than 200 policy actions furthering Economic Development,” Trump continued. “Under Scott’s leadership, Opportunity Zones received over $50 Billion Dollars in Private Investment!”

Turner said that he was “thrilled to continue the outstanding work we began in your last administration at HUD with an incredible team.”

“I am deeply humbled by your confidence in my nomination,” Turner said. “I would also like to express the sincerest of gratitude to my mentor, Secretary @RealBenCarson. Few people are as compassionate and gracious as he is, and I am aware that I have big shoes to fill.” […]

Reid made the remarks in a social media video that went viral this week in which she claimed that people were “rightfully alarmed” by Trump’s victory.

“They have a reason to be alarmed,” she said. “And if you would vote for that, people may not feel so confident that they are safe with you.”

“This is not crazy,” she continued. “This is legitimate feelings of fear of you. And a feeling that you might not be someone they can trust, if this thing goes way south. Autocracies go south real fast, and things get ugly and people get asked to do things and turn people in and point people out and turn on them.”

She said that Trump supporters would have to “live with” the people’s reactions to them having voted to support Trump. […]

Earlier this week, the Republican — who flipped Michigan’s 7th Congressional District seat left open from Democrat Elissa Slotkin — sent out a letter to his new colleagues ahead of the freshmen lottery held in Congress that determines a new Representative’s office space, The Hill reported.

“I’ve shared with several of you that my great-grandfather, Louis Rabaut from Michigan, served here in Congress and was first elected 90 years ago in 1934,” the letter from Barrett, posted on social media, read.

“He died in office in 1961, long before I was born, so I never had the opportunity to meet him or ask him about his time in Congress, but his legacy is something my whole family is very proud of,” it added, noting that his family member occupied three different spaces in the Longworth House Office building.

We got it! Appreciate everyone who followed along and showed their support. Thank you to my Freshman colleagues, Republicans AND Democrats, who were kind enough to allow me to select the office once occupied by my great grandfather. https://t.co/yKSDOJUcmu

— Tom Barrett (@tombarrettmi7) November 21, 2024

“If one or more of them become available I would deeply appreciate it if you could afford me the opportunity to select one of them,” Barrett’s letter continued. “Perhaps 90 years from now one of your descendants will be asking their colleagues to hold your office available for them to occupy.” […]

The plan involves invoking “procedural maneuvers” on the Senate floor that will “significantly delay votes” on the judges during the final days of the 118th Congress, Fox News reported.

The move will limit the number of judges that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is able to ram through before the new Congress is sworn in on January 3, 2025.

“If Sen. Schumer thought Senate Republicans would just roll over and allow him to quickly confirm multiple Biden-appointed judges to lifetime jobs in the final weeks of the Democrat majority, he thought wrong,” Thune said in a statement.

Schumer said on the Senate floor on Monday that Democrats would prioritize ramming through as many judges as possible during their final days in the majority. […]

Nearly three-quarters of Americans say they want it to be against the law to provide children with puberty blockers, other drugs, or surgery to help them “transition from one gender to another,” according to a new survey from Napolitan News Service. That’s 10% higher than the 62% who said so in August, according to the poll.

The spike in opposition to these procedures comes after a tumultuous presidential election where the issue frequently reared its head. President-elect Donald Trump’s most successful campaign ad noted that Vice President Kamala Harris previously expressed support for taxpayer-funded surgeries for incarcerated illegal migrants.

“Kamala Harris is for they/them. Donald Trump is for you,” the ad’s narrator said.

Three-fourths of Americans think biological males who identify as women should not be allowed to use the women’s locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms, the poll found. Just under 60% also said that if biological men who identify as women are allowed to use women’s shelters for sexual assault and domestic violence, it will create more risk and trauma for the women who use these shelters.

Johnson made the remarks during a Sunday interview with Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” while discussing changes that are coming once President-elect Donald Trump and a Republican House and Senate takeover starting in January.

He said that the American people “demanded” that the border be secured “right out of the gates” after the U.S. has been overwhelmed with millions of illegal aliens that have entered over the last four years.

Johnson said that Trump “will use his executive authorities beginning on day one” to address the crisis that the Democrats caused.

Johnson said that Trump will focus on first removing the “dangerous persons that we know are here.” […]

Musk spawned the idea for the department and offered to head it up during an X space with President-elect Donald Trump back in August. On Tuesday, Trump made DOGE official, saying in a statement that it will “dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies” and give government an “entrepreneurial approach.”

“It will become, potentially, ‘The Manhattan Project’ of our time,” Trump said.

The new department has already sparked endless memes — the DOGE acronym is a nod to the cryptocurrency Dogecoin. Musk is a fan, and briefly changed X’s logo to the coin’s dog meme last year. Another meme making the rounds shows Musk and Ramaswamy as the downsizing consultants from the movie “Office Space,” who famously ask an employee, “What would you say you do here?”

Despite its name, DOGE will actually function as a commission outside the government that will work with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to advise the president on what government bloat can be cut. […]

Trump made illegal immigration and border security central parts of his 2024 platform, promising to finish his southern border wall and conduct the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. Perez told Fox News in an interview on Monday that “morale is through the roof” among Border Patrol agents, adding, “We’ve received hundreds of calls, texts, emails, just saying how happy the agents are.”

“There are a lot of agents that had originally said that they would retire if President Trump did not win. And now those same agents are saying they’re going to hold back on their retirement because they want to serve under this administration again, because they know exactly how it was during this first administration, and they know this one’s going to be even better,” he continued.

The National Border Patrol Council, which represents around 16,000 members, endorsed Trump’s White House bid in October, with Perez warning, “If we allow Border Czar Harris to win this election, every city, every community in this great country, is going to go to hell. The untold millions of people, unvetted, who she has allowed into this country that are committing murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries, and every other crime will continue to put our country in peril.”

The Biden administration’s border policies led to around 10 million encounters along the southern border in less than four years. Numerous agents said they would resign if Vice President Kamala Harris won the election, with some describing working under the Biden-Harris administration as “four years in hell.” […]
