Former President Donald Trump‚ who is running another White House campaign‚ encouraged lawmakers on Wednesday to reject a not-yet-released bill that aims to combine border security reforms with aid for Ukraine and Israel. A post to Truth Social from Trump took aim at one purported section that Fox News reported would establish a threshold of a seven-day rolling average exceeding 5‚000 encounters a day to trigger a Title 42-like authority to quickly remove migrants at the border. “The illegal Aliens that are pouring into our Country are taking over our cities and attacking our police‚” Trump said. “They are forming gangs‚ and they are tough. Close the Border‚ you do not need a ridiculous Border Bill that will allow 5000 people into our Country a day. Call it the ‘Stupid Bill’ and make sure it doesn’t get passed. It will make things MUCH WORSE. CLOSE THE SOUTHERN BORDER‚ NO BILL NECESSARY!!!” President Joe Biden’s request last year for roughly $106 billion in supplemental funds to spend on U.S. allies — including Ukraine‚ Israel‚ and Taiwan — as well as border security and humanitarian assistance‚ led to bipartisan Senate talks on attaching immigration reforms sought by Republicans. While Biden has encouraged the endeavor‚ Trump urged Republicans not to settle on a compromise. “I do not think we should do a Border Deal‚ at all‚ unless we get EVERYTHING needed to shut down the INVASION of Millions &; Millions of people‚ many from parts unknown‚ into our once great‚ but soon to be great again‚ Country!” Trump said in a post to Truth Social earlier this month. Trump’s sway within Congress is on the rise again following victories in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. The former president still faces a challenge from former South Carolina Governor and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley‚ but Trump has garnered endorsements from a growing number of Republican lawmakers. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-RY) has been supportive of the bipartisan talks. However‚ he reportedly told colleagues last week they face a “quandary” as Trump establishes himself as the GOP frontrunner in the 2024 presidential contest. “The politics on this have changed‚” he said‚ according to Punchbowl News‚ referring to Trump as “the nominee” and stressing‚ “We don’t want to do anything to undermine him.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said he has been in contact with Trump and indicated the Senate deal would be “dead on arrival” in the GOP-led House if rumors about it proved true. In particular‚ he warned on X‚ “Any border ‘shutdown’ authority that ALLOWS even one illegal crossing is a non-starter. Thousands each day is outrageous. The number must be ZERO.” Two of the main negotiators in the upper chamber‚ Sens. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Sen. James Lankford (R-OK)‚ indicated this past weekend that they were close to finalizing a deal and felt good about the early feedback it was receiving. They also spoke about Trump’s sway in the matter. Murphy told CNN the “bipartisan deal” may be in jeopardy if Republicans “listen to” Trump and reject the compromise. Lankford told CBS News that he was “looking forward to President Trump having the opportunity to be able to read it‚ like everybody else has‚” and noted there is “a lot of misinformation out there right now.”

As Doherty explains‚ there’s been a “breaking down” of the “blood-brain barrier.” Shannen Doherty Shares Hopeful Treatment Update Essentially‚ this membrane in the brain allows cerebral blood vessels to regulate molecule and ion movement between the blood and the brain. “Do I call that a miracle? For me‚ that happens to be a miracle right now‚ that‚ like‚ I sort of rolled the dice and said let’s keep going‚” Doherty shares‚ later adding that if feels like “maybe God intervening and saying‚ ‘I’m gonna give her a break.'” Instagram Doherty’s new-found hope in this helpful treatment‚ the exact name of which has not been disclosed‚ continues to have a positive impact on her life in a variety of ways. This includes her view on life in general. “Every day is a gift…” Doherty says. “All I can do is live each day in as much a positive manner‚ with a lot of hope‚ as I can.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Every couple’s love story is special. But the story of Gabriella Vagnoli and Dan Watling is so unique‚ you’d expect to see it as the plot of a hit movie. The two of them first met in 2002 during a trip to Scotland‚ and they hit it off right away. But like many of the best romantic comedies‚ there’s always a moment where the couple briefly separates — sometimes‚ though‚ they don’t reconnect for many years. But before that happened to Gabriella and Dan‚ they enjoyed a 3-day bus tour together. With each stop they’d make‚ this adorable couple found themselves staying behind the group to better focus on each other. Ramon Vloon / Unsplash Their very first stop was the banks of Loch Ness‚ the location known as the home of the mythical Loch Ness monster. They didn’t have much time to get to know one another‚ but the connection they felt was real. Still‚ the trip had to end eventually. Gabriella needed to go back to Italy where she would finish college. Dan had a life back in the States. They tried to stay in touch via email for a while but‚ eventually‚ Gabriella made the tough decision to cut him out of her life. “I had no desire to move to America‚” Gabriella explains. “I had a different life and I was like‚ ‘You know this is not going anywhere. It’s better that we don’t keep this thing going.'” Dan and Gabriella Go Separate Ways GEORGE DESIPRIS / Pexels When Dan learned that Gabriella blocked his email‚ he was devastated. He moved on the best he could‚ but it seemed he’d never forget her. Over the years‚ Gabriella came to learn that she felt the same way. Finally‚ in 2006‚ she caved and searched Dan’s name on Google. A part of her was scared she’d learn he was married. Instead‚ she learned that Dan regularly travels now‚ something he didn’t start doing until after their shared trip. In spite of the four years that passed‚ Gabriella took a chance and emailed Dan — and it paid off more than she could have ever hoped. “She was always in the back of my mind‚” Dan shares. “I always hoped that we could reconnect somehow.” “It’s just so crazy that he hadn’t forgotten about me‚ because as I said‚ it was a short trip‚” she adds. “But he’d been thinking about me.” Couple Reconnects Over Email After 4 Years Apart View this post on Instagram A post shared by CNN Travel (@cnntravel) Just like that‚ the two of them picked things up where they left off. Except‚ this time‚ they worked hard to make their distant relationship work. They’d visit each other as much as they could‚ with Gabriella taking a three-month stop in the U.S. at one point. Then‚ a year into dating‚ Dan proposed — in Italian‚ her first language. He continued this thoughtful trend by saying his vows in Italian as well. They eventually had a big‚ second wedding in Italy‚ but their first took place in the U.S. in 2008. Here‚ the friends who were with them on their trip to Scotland were there to celebrate with them. What better folks to surround themselves with to give a special announcement: Gabriella was pregnant! “It was cute for us to announce it at the wedding‚” Gabriella says. Gabriella and Dan Live Happily Ever After Facebook Now‚ the happy couple lives in Seattle with their two teenage kiddos‚ and they couldn’t be happier. Although they haven’t had the chance to travel back to where they met just yet‚ Seattle reminds them of Scotland‚ making it their perfect home. “I feel incredibly lucky to have met Gabi back in 2002 and incredibly lucky that we reconnected again years later‚” Dan shares. “I would not be who I am today without having had her by my side.” “I also feel like we were incredibly lucky‚” Gabriella adds. “I look at my kids and think about all the incredible coincidences that had to happen just for them to be here now and it blows my mind. I can’t believe how lucky we have been‚ but also I think that when you know you know. I’m glad I followed my heart.” You can find the sources of this story’s featured image here and here!

Happy Birthday‚ Justin Timberlake! Today (Jan. 31) marks Justin’s 43rd trip around the sun‚ and he has a lot to show for his life well-lived. The former NSYNC singer has earned ten Grammys and an Oscar nod on top of dozens of other notable awards. He’s also a family man with his wife Jessica Biel and sons Silas‚ 8‚ and Phineas‚ 2. Instagram Despite being dubbed “The Prince of Pop‚” Justin has also had success on the silver and small screen. He’s an entrepreneur‚ as well. Justin has owned three restaurants‚ an award-winning clothing line‚ and an eco-friendly golf course. To top it all off‚ he and Jessica are also minority owners of the Memphis Grizzlies football team. While celebrating Justin Timberlake’s birthday‚ we dug deeper to find more fun facts about the singer that may come as a surprise. Read on to learn more! 1. Justin Timberlake Broke into the Entertainment Industry at 12 Years Old Like many singers from his era‚ Justin Timberlake got his start on The Mickey Mouse Club. He started on the series in 1993 and left in 1994. During his tenure‚ he starred alongside Ryan Gosling‚ Britney Spears‚ and Christina Aguilera. His NSYNC bandmate JC Chasez was also part of the crew. YouTube 2. He Used to Use ‘Justin Randall’ As a Stage Name While Mickey Mouse Club was Justin’s big break‚ he started taking the stage at 11. He was into gospel and country music at the time. He also made an appearance on Star Search‚ except not as Justin Timberlake. YouTube When he was first looking to become a celebrity‚ Justin wanted to ditch his last name for his first and middle name instead—which is Justin Randall. Why he decided to go back to Timberlake isn’t clear‚ but we can assume his agent decided it had more punch than Randall. 3. He Was the First Person Ashton Kutcher ‘Punk’ed’ Justin Timberlake was the very first celebrity to fall victim to an Ashton Kutcher prank on Punk’ed. In the 2003 episode‚ Ashton hired a team of actors to show up at Justin’s house and claim they worked for the IRS. They told him he hadn’t paid his taxes‚ so they were seizing his belongings. TikTok While packing up his stuff‚ the actors pretended to destroy his beloved cars and guitars. They even tried confiscating his mom’s dogs‚ who stayed with Justin. His mom was in on the prank and added some flair with an emotional phone call. “They got her on the phone‚ and honestly that performance on the phone that you couldn’t hear‚ it made me question everything about my mother‚” Justin once joked with Dax Shepard. 4. Justin Timberlake Has Made a Comeback to Music If you haven’t heard‚ Justin Timberlake has also returned to the recording studio after taking a years-long hiatus. He will drop Everything I Thought It Was on March 15th. It will be his first solo project since 2018. Wikimedia Commons Share this story to help Justin Timberlake celebrate his 43rd birthday!
