Former President Barack Obama condemned a social media post by President Donald Trump that depicted him and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes, calling it "deeply troubling," according to ABC News. The video, which was taken down after bipartisan criticism, prompted Obama's remarks during an interview with podcaster Brian Tyler Cohen on Saturday, as reported by ABC News.
The controversy surrounding Trump's post comes amidst other significant news developments. A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to facilitate the return of Any Lucia Lopez Belloza, a 19-year-old college student who was deported over Thanksgiving, despite a court order blocking her removal, ABC News reported. Judge Richard Stearns directed the government to return Belloza within 14 days, acknowledging the government's error and calling for amends.
Meanwhile, political dynamics are shifting. Democrats are claiming that Trump's redistricting efforts are backfiring, particularly in Virginia, where the Democrat-controlled Senate advanced new congressional maps, potentially impacting the House GOP's majority, according to Fox News. The Virginia Senate voted 21-16 along party lines to pass the maps, which could leave only one Republican district in play.

DuRousseau, now a host for PragerU, discussed his shift from progressive activism to conservative content creation in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital.
Finally, despite confessing to the brutal murders of two women, Wade Wilson, dubbed the "Deadpool Killer," has garnered a cult-like following, with hundreds of women pledging their loyalty to him, according to Fox News.
