WASHINGTON (AP) — When Kash Patel visited Hawaii last summer, the FBI took pains to note the director was not on vacation, highlighting his walking tour of the bureau’s Honolulu field office and meetings with local law enforcement.
Left out of FBI’s news releases was an exclusive excursion that Patel took days later when he participated in what government officials described as a “VIP snorkel” around the USS Arizona in an outing coordinated by the military. The sunken battleship entombs more than 900 sailors and Marines at Pearl Harbor.

A Louisiana man gave an impassioned speech calling out state Republicans for their racist gerrymander. “I believe the country as a whole is rebuking your party. Y’all are in a death spiral,” he said. “That’s why y’all have to redistrict. That’s why y’all have to cheat.”
“The MAGA party is the last breath of the conderacy,” he continued. “And I’ll be happy to see millennials and Gen Z bury y’all.”
JD Vance bristled at the suggestion that Trump said Americans’ financial situations are not a consideration in his decision-making process. As a reminder, the president DID say that just one day ago.
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned the murder convictions and life sentence of disgraced lawyer Alex Murdaugh in the shooting deaths of his wife and younger son.
In a unanimous ruling, the justices said the conduct by the court clerk “egregiously attacked Murdaugh’s credibility” by suggesting to jurors his testimony could not be trusted. They also said the trial judge went too far in allowing evidence of Murdaugh’s financial crimes into his murder trial.
But Murdaugh won’t be getting out of prison. The 57-year-old pleaded guilty to stealing around $12 million from his clients and currently is serving a 40-year federal sentence.

Tennessee just passed a law that will allow it to track trans patients and their providers — and it’s part of a larger push by the Trump administration.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday gave his two cents to a reporter who asked to what extent “Americans’ financial situations are motivating” him to strike a deal to end his unpopular Iran war.
His answer? “Not even a little bit.”
"When I was 7, my family left Mexico City for Texas in search of safety and opportunity. It’s a story so familiar, it’s practically foundational — the idea that, however imperfect, the U.S. is a place where people from anywhere can start over safely," writes HuffPost contributing writer Ian Kumamoto (@oyystersauce ).
"But since Trump came back into office last year, that promise has further eroded."
"The anti-immigrant rhetoric has ramped up so forcefully that ICE has been willing to kill American citizens in order to enact its agenda. The threats of mass deportations and violence are working: For the first time since the Great Depression, more people are leaving the U.S. than arriving. Among Gen Z and millennials, a new aspiration is taking hold. On social media, some are saying that the new American Dream is to leave for a better life."
"Nowhere is that shift more evident than among undocumented immigrants who grew up in the United States. Brought here as children and raised as Americans, many are now making the life-altering decision to self-deport. Increasingly, younger Mexican deportees are choosing Mexico City."
