The State Department said on Saturday that the U.S.-designated terrorist group Hamas is planning an “imminent” attack on Palestinians in Gaza, potentially violating the terms of its peace deal with Israel about a week after the pact’s agreement. “This planned attack against Palestinian civilians would constitute a direct and grave violation of the ceasefire agreement and undermine the significant progress achieved through mediation efforts,” department officials said in a statement shared on the social platform X. The statement added that if the attack proceeds, the U.S. will take measures “to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of…

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) praised President Trump for being “willing to take the heat” after thousands of furloughed federal employees were laid off during the government shutdown. “What’s fascinating, if you watch, Trump has now begun to systematically lay off people permanently,” Gingrich said Sunday on the “Cats Roundtable” radio show hosted by John Catsimatidis on WABC 770 AM. “I think what Trump is gambling is that he can actually change the federal government dramatically during the shutdown.” “He’s willing to take the heat because, frankly, when he’s busy going to the Middle East to be part of a peace…

A federal appeals court on Saturday partially restored President Trump’s control of the National Guard in Chicago and across Illinois, but prevented him from being able to actually deploy servicemembers in the Prairie State. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit granted the Trump administration’s request for an administrative stay in part, meaning the president is allowed to federalize the National Guard in Illinois. The appeals court, however, denied the administration’s request to be able to deploy the National Guard. Unless further ordered by the court to do so, troops do not need to return to their home…
