President Trump has launched a new website to deliver the latest updates from his office to the American people.
The new communications platform launched Tuesday and its design is reminiscent of the President’s Twitter account, which was banned by Big Tech in early 2021.
WASHINGTON – Three Democratic lawmakers are pressing Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett to recuse herself from one of the court s highest profile cases this term because of her ties to the conservative nonprofit that filed the appeal.
A foundation associated with Americans for Prosperity, which acknowledged spending seven figures on advertising to support Barrett during her confirmation battle last fall, has brought a case that will be argued at the nation s highest court next week challenging a requirement that it disclose major donors to state regulators in California.
In a three-page letter reviewed by USA TODAY, the lawmakers assert the Americans for Prosperity campaign in support of Barrett represents the appearance of a conflict in the pending dispute involving the group s public charity, the Americans for Prosperity Foundation. Both groups are backed by Republican megadonor Charles Koch.

California has already, however, announced significant changes loosening restrictions on gatherings that go into effect April 15. The changes come after infection rates have gone down in the state.
The case before the justices involved California rules that in most of the state limit indoor social gatherings to no more than three households. Attendees are required to wear masks and physically distance from one another. Different restrictions apply to places including schools, grocery stores and churches. California treats some comparable secular activities more favorably than at-home religious exercise, allowing hair salons, retail stores, and movie theaters, among other places, to bring together more than three households at a time, the unsigned order from the court said. A lower court “did not conclude that those activities pose a lesser risk of transmission than applicants’ proposed religious exercise at home, it said.
