Life activist group Live Action hosted an event on Capitol Hill today highlighting the side effects of chemical abortion drugs, which account for more than 60% of abortions in the U.S. daily Wire reporter Brecka Stoll has more. A recent study from the Ethics and Public Policy center found that 1 in 10 women who take the abortion pill experience serious health complications and one in every 25 women who take the pill lined up in the emergency room. The press conference featured the head of the center that performed the study, as well as several congressmen, a medical expert and the organization's founder, Lila Rose. Morning Wire spoke to Rose about the pills and potential consequences. Here's what she had to say. The on demand sale of the abortion pill via our postal mail system is the biggest public health crisis that we are facing. There are thousands of women going to the emergency room with severe health complications and sometimes life threatening health complications because of the abortion pill. There are hundreds of thousands of children being killed in this country annually by the abortion pill. It's our biggest public health crisis. So this is action that the FDA and the administration can take immediately to pull approval for mifepristone as an abortifacient and pull it from the market.

Federal authorities arrested alleged agitators who took part in the anti ICE mob that stormed a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota on Sunday. Delaware immigration reporter Jenny Terror has a story.

A (6:26)

Attorney General Pam Bondi first announced this morning that agents with the FBI and Homeland Security investigations nabbed Black Lives Matter activist Nakima Levy Armstrong, who is accused of playing a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on city's church. Minutes later, Bondi said authorities had arrested Chantille Louisa Allen, who leads BLM Twin Cities and serves on the St. Paul Public School Board. Bondi wrote, quote, listen loud and clear. We do not tolerate attacks on places of worship. Later Thursday, Bondi revealed that authorities also took William Kelly into custody. Kelly previously harassed worshippers at Secretary of War Pete Headset's church in Washington, D.C. also among those agitators who stormed the church was former CNN host Don Lemon, who's been making the rounds online defending his actions. A federal judge, however, refused to sign off on charges against Lemon, and Attorney General Pam Bondi is apparently enraged. Vice President J.D. vance headed to Minneapolis today to show support for community leaders and ICE officials during the ongoing unrest. Daily Wire senior editor Joel Niedler reports.

Vance stopped first in Toledo, Ohio, where he delivered remarks on President Trump's commitment to lowering prices, increasing paychecks and creating more jobs across the Midwest he then set off for Minneapolis for a roundtable discussion with local leaders and community members. A White House official told the Daily Wire the vice president also met with ICE agents to, quote, reinforce the White House's unwavering support for federal immigration officials. Here's Vance in Minneapolis this afternoon. One of the things that I want to send a message to is, yes, come out and protest. Protest me, protest our immigration policy, but do it peacefully. If you assault a law enforcement officer, the Trump administration and the Department of Justice is going to prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law. And here's, here's the point. We can do a good job of enforcing our immigration laws without the chaos, but it actually requires the cooperation of state and local officials. Treasury Secretary Scott Besant fired back at California Governor Gavin Newsom after being mocked as, quote, smug. Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips reports. In a Fox Business interview with the World Economic Forum, Bessant discussed the Trump administration's plan to limit or ban large institutional investors from buying single family homes. We are going to give guidance at some point to see what is a mom and pop. Maybe your parents for their retirement have bought 5, 10, 12 homes. So we don't want to push the mom and pops out. We just want to push everyone else out. Governor Newsom reposted that clip mocking Bessant on X, writing, quote, could this smug man be more out of touch? When asked about the slight, Besant fired back, Governor Newsom, who strikes me as Patrick Bateman meets Sparkle Beach Ken, may be the only Californian who knows less about economics than Kamala Harris. He is too smug, too self absorbed and too economically illiterate to know anything. Let me know if you need any further clarification. Following the spat, Governor Newsom's press office said the governor was denied entry into the official headquarters for the US Delegation in Davos. When asked about the incident, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly told the Daily Wire, quote, no one in Davos knows who third re Governor Newscomb is or why he is frolicking around Switzerland instead of fixing the many problems he created in California.

Mahmoud Khalil, the Syrian born activist who helped organize pro Hamas and anti Israel disruptions in New York, will be deported to Algeria. Khalil has been battling the administration's efforts to cancel his green card for months, but an appellate court decision last week seems to have been the nail in the coffin for his efforts to stay in the country. DHS Assistant Secretary for public affairs Tricia McLaughlin told Katie Pavlich that Khalil is now likely bound for North Africa. It looks like he'll go to Algeria. That's what the thought is right now. It's a reminder for those who are in this country on a visa or on a green card. You are a guest in this country. Act like it. It is a privilege, not a right to be in this country, to live or to study Taylor Swift's texts to Blake Lively have been made public in Lively's sexual harassment lawsuit against actor Justin Baldoni, and they're not flattering. Daily Wire reporter Lyndon Blake has the details. After attempting to distance herself publicly from Lively and the whole matter, new legal documents reveal Swift referred to Baldoni as a B word and revealed that she had insider knowledge about the New York Times piece that would come out about Baldoni. Her text to Lively reads, I think this B word knows something is coming because he's gotten out his tiny violin. In another exchange, Lively referred to Baldoni as her doofus director and a clown to Swift. The two also discussed Baldoni's strategic mistake in allowing the movie trailer to use a Taylor Swift song, saying it shifted more leverage over the film toward Lively. The text may prove damaging to Lively's claims that Baldoni exploited power dynamics on set. Lively's sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit is set to go to trial in May. Baldoni's $400 million counter lawsuit was dismissed by the court in late 2025, and a hearing on a motion to dismiss Lively's claims is set for January 23rd.

And Disney's live action Snow White remake has gotten a bunch of nominations, but not for the awards the filmmakers probably hoped, daily Wire entertainment reporter Amanda Harding explains.

A (11:44)

After falling far short of recouping its huge budget and scoring an abysmal 39% on rotten tomatoes, Snow White has been nominated for the Internet's most notorious film awards. The massive flop was nominated in six categories for the annual Golden Raspberry Awards razzies, making it the most nominated film alongside Ice Cube's War of the Worlds. Both films were nominated for Worst Picture, the press release said of the nomination quote, a slow paced, unnecessary reimagining of a classic filled with drawn out musical numbers, dopey CGI dwarves and enough mediocrity to leave the audience in a very unhappy place. Along with Worst Picture, Snow White was nominated for Worst Remake, Supporting Actors, screen combo, director and screenplay. Despite many critics blaming activist actress Rachel Zegler for contributing to the disaster, she avoided being nominated for Worst Actress. Those are your Drive Home updates this evening.
