Agents moved in at another Home Depot. Some of their focus was on day laborers who often gather outside the store looking for work. As word spread on social media of the raid, protesters showed up. There were some confrontations. Objects were thrown at a U.S. marshal's bus carrying some of those detained. Agents responded with flashbangs and tear gas. One of the protesters, Maya Malika, blames President Trump.

In the middle of that social media spat on Thursday, Trump threatened to end Musk's contracts. Musk threatened to decommission the Dragon capsule. But either one of those actions would seriously cripple both Musk's companies and the federal government. I mean, the government subsidy piece is a big part of Musk's wealth. That in turn allowed him to buy social media site X and donate about a quarter billion dollars to help send Trump to the oval office.

A woman who testified under the pseudonym Jane to protect her identity spent much of Friday morning crying on the witness stand. She told the court that soon after she began dating Combs in 2021, he asked her to participate in sexual encounters with male escorts. The woman agreed at first, but she said she later made it clear to Combs that she didn't want to keep having these, quote, hotel nights. Jane said they would often involve staying up 20 to 30 hours straight, taking multiple doses of drugs. According to Jane, Combs paid her rent when she pushed back on the hotel nights. She said he repeatedly brought up those payments. Combs attorneys have said this was a consensual relationship, not sex trafficking. Isabella Gomez Sarmiento, NPR News.
