'He believes it is illegal to criticize him': New Trump remark sparks warning from senator

By David McAfee
Published November 1, 2025 6:58 PM ET

Donald Trump on Saturday declared a late-night TV host was "probably" breaking the law by criticizing him, leading a senator to sound the alarm.

Trump over the weekend targeted host Seth Meyers, saying, "Seth Meyers of NBC may be the least talented person to 'perform' live in the history of television."

"I watched his show the other night for the first time in years. In it he talked endlessly about electric catapults on aircraft carriers which I complain about as not being as good as much less expensive steam catapults. On and on he went, a truly deranged lunatic," Trump claimed, adding, "NO TALENT, NO RATINGS, 100% ANTI TRUMP, WHICH IS PROBABLY ILLEGAL!!!"

DHS asked Texas to hand over driver’s license data for citizenship checks

The Department of Homeland Security says it intends to add state driver’s license information to a swiftly expanding federal system envisioned as a one-stop shop for checking citizenship.

The plan, outlined in a public notice posted Thursday, is the latest step in an unprecedented Trump administration initiative to pool confidential data from varied sources that it claims will help identify noncitizens on voter rolls, tighten immigration enforcement and expose public benefit fraud.

According to emails obtained by ProPublica and The Texas Tribune, DHS approached Texas officials in June about a pilot program to add the state’s driver license data, but it’s not clear if the state participated.

with the gerrymandering. Competitive house elections are pretty rare, but I know what you actually mean.
