Vice President JD Vance sees a double-standard when it comes to the media coverage of the leaked Signal group chat. Speaking from Greenland, Vance said the American media didn't seem to care when 13 U.S. service members died during the Afghanistan pullout under President Biden. Now, Vance says that same media demands someone get fired over a leaked group chat where no American died.        A halt on President Trump's use of a war time law to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members is being extended. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg extended his temporary restraining order on the Trump administration's application of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act until April 12th. Boasberg previously issued a two week freeze on using the law earlier this month.        A judge is pausing President Trump's dismantling of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

The mineral is known to help prevent tooth decay. Governor Spencer Cox signed the bill this week and it goes into effect May 7th.
