1. JFK Files Declassified

President Donald Trump on Thursday ordered plans to be drafted for the release of records related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy (JFK), Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy (RFK), and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

The president signed an executive order on Jan. 23 directing the director of national intelligence and the attorney general to prepare a plan in 15 days for the “full and complete release” of the JFK assassination files. The deadline for the plans for the RFK and King files is 45 days.

“That’s a big one,” Trump said while signing the order in the Oval Office. “A lot of people have been waiting for this for years, for decades. And everything will be revealed.”

2. Judge Blocks Trump Bid to End Birthright Citizenship

A federal judge on Thursday put a temporary block on US President Donald Trump’s attempt to restrict birthright citizenship.

The ruling imposes a 14-day halt on the enforcement of one of the most controversial executive orders Trump signed in the hours after he was sworn into office for a second term.

“This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” US District Judge John Coughenour was reported as saying during the hearing in Washington state.

3. Senate Advances Hegseth Nomination, Paving Way to Confirmation...

Collins & Murkowski Vote 'No'

Defense Secretary-designate Pete Hegseth inched closer to Senate confirmation Thursday after lawmakers voted to end debate on his nomination despite two Republicans signaling they would not vote for the controversial selection.

The 51-49 result tees up a final Friday night roll call vote that might secure the former Fox News host as the leader of the Pentagon for the next four years.

All 47 Democrats who participated in the cloture vote opposed Hegseth, 44, including Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) who had been coy about whether he’d support the nomination.

4. WATCH: Trump Unleashes on WEF Globalists at Davos

President Donald Trump used an address Thursday to the World Economic Forum to promise global elites lower taxes if they bring manufacturing to the U.S. and threatened to impose tariffs if they don’t.

Speaking by video from the White House to the annual summit in Davos, Switzerland, on his third full day in office, Trump ran through his flurry of executive actions since his swearing-in, citing his “massive mandate” from the American people to bring change. He laid out a carrot-and-stick approach for private investment in the U.S.

“Come make your product in America and we will give you among the lowest taxes as any nation on earth,” Trump said.

5. Watch Milei's Speech at Davos 

'Woke Ideology Is Cancer That Must Be Removed'

A “global hegemony” of left-wing politics and ideology is “starting to crumble,” Argentina’s firebrand President Javier Milei told the World Economic Forum on Thursday.

“What once seemed like a global hegemony of the ‘woke’ left in politics, educational institutions, in the media, in supranational organizations or even in forums like Davos, has begun to crumble,” right-wing leader Milei, who took office in 2023, told business and political leaders in Davos, Switzerland.

The divisive ‘woke’ term typically refers to supporting social justice issues and political activism.

6. Gov Agency Is Caught Using Sneaky Tactic to Get Around Trump’s DEI Purge

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives appeared to try and avoid Donald Trump’s anti-DEI executive order by switching the job title of its Chief Diversity Officer.

On Tuesday, Trump’s administration ordered federal agencies to place all Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) hires on paid leave pending review and warned authorities not to use ‘coded or imprecise language’ to circumvent the move.

But within a day of the order being announced, eagle-eyed online sleuths noticed the ATF’s Chief Diversity Officer Lisa T. Boykin had a new job title, appearing to have been updated to ‘Senior Executive.’

7. Ivanka Trump Issues Warning About Fake Crypto Coin Using Her Name

Ivanka Trump has issued a stark warning to investors as she revealed that she had become embroiled in a fake crypto scam.

The First Daughter, 43, took to her Instagram Stories on Thursday to share her disdain after she said a ‘fake’ crypto coin using her name was ‘being promoted without her consent or approval.’

She insisted that she had ‘no involvement’ with the coin and slammed whoever made it for ‘deceiving customers and defrauding them of their hard-earned money.’

8. Saudi Crown Prince Makes $600 Billion Investment Pledge to President Trump

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman told President Donald Trump he’s willing to expand investments and trade with the US in the coming four years by $600 billion, according to the kingdom’s state-run news agency SPA.

The crown prince, known as MBS, spoke to the American president in a congratulatory phone call on Wednesday, SPA said.

During the call, Prince Mohammed said the kingdom was eager to seize partnership and investment opportunities created by the new administration’s anticipated reforms, which could achieve “unprecedented economic prosperity.”
