Actress Olivia Munn has divided the internet over her decision to allow her toddler son to walk the streets of New York City without shoes on. The “Your Friends & Neighbors” star, who is married to comedian John Mulaney, discussed the incident in a lengthy Instagram post accompanied by a photo. “Yes, this is my 3-year-old walking through the streets of New York in only his socks,” she wrote in the post shared last week.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by o l i v i a (@oliviamunn) “I’m posting this for all the parents who thought it would be great to take advantage of the beautiful weather and took their toddler on a walk only for them to lie down screaming on the floor of Whole Foods, run through the aisles of CVS screaming ‘I don’t like anyone!!’ and knocked over your iced tea before your first sip, all while carrying your 7-month-old strapped to your body,” Munn continued. “After all of that, he insisted on walking home without his shoes,” she wriote. “And in a moment which I can only describe as total exhaustion, I said okay. So we walked over a mile home with only socks… through every street in NY.” The actress concluded, “This Easter Monday will live in infamy in my memory as the day I tried my absolute best, got us home without another tantrum and learned that the rubber padding on toddler socks can only take so much. Cheers to anyone else who went through this today or any other day. You have my utmost respect.” The post led to a ton of both positive and negative comments, with some parents expressing their disgust and horror at letting a young child do something so dangerous. Others stood up in solidarity with Munn and shared toddler tantrum stories of their own. “But you make it sound like you were alone dealing with this situation — so who was on hand to take the photo? Sort of detracts from the entire story if you had another set of hands to help the entire time,” one commenter noted. “Who is taking your photo but not helping you?!” another person echoed. “Letting your child be exposed to disgusting dirt and whatever else is on their streets including sharp objects… really stupid idea,” said a third. Another wrote, “THAT is why gentle parenting tactics are garbage. At some point it’s time to lay down the law. Who is parenting whom?” “I’ve been there. Children really know how to help us evolve,” another person replied. “Love this post ! We have ALL BEEN THERE ! Congratulations for keeping your sanity and making home !!!” another said. “Someone get this woman a ‘good mom’ bracelet,” said another commenter. Munn addressed the incident again this week at an event. “Oh my gosh, the other day, I was walking on that same street and I ran into some women who wanted to say ‘Hi’ to my little baby,” Munn told People while attending An Unforgettable Evening Benefiting the Women’s Cancer Research Fund in Los Angeles on Monday. “And I just started crying. I was like, it’s just so hard. And they were very sweet,” she said. Munn and Mulaney have a 3-year-old son, Malcolm, and a 7-month-old daughter, Méi June.

Federal agents arrested a Venezuelan illegal alien who flaunted his stash of grenades on social media and is believed to be a leader of the vicious Tren de Aragua. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) arrested Yonaiker Gallegos, who posed with an AR-15 and several grenades online, in Los Angeles County on Friday. “On Tuesday evening April 22, 2025, HSI was able to locate Gallegos who was utilizing the false name Yoniaker Rafel MARTINEZ-RAMOS, who was in state custody in Los Angeles County on misdemeanor charges,” the Department of Homeland Security said in a statement to Fox News. The HSI National Gang Unit was able to identify the suspected Tren de Aragua leader as Yonaiker Gallegos after cross-referencing booking photos and social media images, using facial comparison tools to confirm his true identity. HSI successfully took Gallegos into custody for violations of Title 8, an immigration policy. The arrest marks the latest crackdown by the Trump administration on the violent Venezuelan gang. The criminal enterprise was one of eight cartel and gang organizations designated as a foreign terrorist organization by Trump’s State Department. A multi-agency raid over the weekend resulted in the capture of over 100 illegal aliens at an underground nightclub in Colorado that authorities say was being used by Tren de Aragua members. The raid, which was carried out by agents from the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Drug Enforcement Agency, and even the United States Postal Service and IRS, also resulted in the seizure of drugs and weapons. Trump’s Department of Justice recently charged 27 current and former suspected Tren de Aragua members under the Racketeering Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), leveraging a law best known for its use against the mafia against cartels. The charges, Attorney General Pam Bondi said, spanned three different states and “will devastate TdA’s infrastructure.” The administration also employed the Alien Enemies Act to expedite the deportation of Tren de Aragua members to El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center. Now the administration is locked in an ongoing legal battle with federal judges over its use of the law to remove the criminal aliens.

Republicans in Congress have proposed charging asylum seekers $1,000 to gain entry into the United States. The proposal is part of a 116-page bill released by the House Judiciary Committee on Monday, which Republicans are seeking to include in a larger package implementing President Donald Trump’s agenda, The New York Times reported. If passed, the Republicans’ proposal would mark the first time the United States charged migrants to claim asylum from countries where they face persecution. The money generated by the asylum claims would go toward securing the southern border. Backers of the proposal say it would cut down on the total number of asylum claims and allow those with legitimate asylum claims to be admitted into the country more quickly. Proponents also argue that the $1,000 fee would weed out those from the process who are only trying to get a free ride to the United States and deter illegal entries at the southern border, according to The Hill. Those sponsoring children would face a $3,500 fee, and asylees already in the United States would be charged $550 to apply for a work authorization, according to the House GOP proposal. The measure was proposed after the Trump administration unveiled a program in February to give wealthy foreigners a path to citizenship in the United States with a “Trump Gold Card,” which would be sold for $5 million. The president said that he hoped the Gold Card would generate trillions of dollars in revenue, which could go toward paying off the national debt. Revenue from the GOP-proposed asylee fees would likely go toward building new immigration detention centers, hiring more Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) staff, and helping immigration judges better staff their courts. The Times reported that the Republicans’ budget blueprint calls for $45 billion for immigration detention centers and $8 billion for ICE staff. Earlier this month, House Republicans passed a budget plan that gets the ball rolling for Trump’s domestic agenda and allows for lawmakers in both the House and the Senate to begin developing legislation. The House Judiciary Committee is set to discuss its legislation, which includes the plan for asylee fees, this week. After House committees mark up individual bills that deal with their respective jurisdictions, Republicans will combine them into one reconciliation measure and try to pass the legislation with a simple majority vote.

A deal with India is “very close,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said on Tuesday, signaling what could be a major breakthrough in negotiations with a significant trade partner. Many foreign countries, including India, face a 10% baseline tariff after President Donald Trump announced a 90-day pause for harsher “Liberation Day” tariffs he unveiled at the beginning of April. The tariffs for India could rise to 26%, which was the initial rate, if a deal is not reached. At a White House press briefing, a reporter asked Bessent if he had anything to share on whether “something could happen” this week or the next. He chose to focus on India. “I think we’re very close on India,” Bessent said. “India — just a little inside baseball. India, in a funny way, is easier to negotiate with than many other countries because they have very high tariffs and lots of tariffs.” He added: “So, it’s much easier to confront the direct tariffs when, as we go through these unfair trade deals that have been put in over decades, that the non-tariff trade barriers can be much more insidious and also harder to detect. So, a country like India, which has the posted and ready tariffs, it’s much easier to negotiate with them. I think the India negotiations will move well.” Last week, Vice President JD Vance travelled to India and met with the country’s prime minister, Narendra Modi. Vance announced the United States and India finalized the “terms of reference” for a trade negotiation, adding that he believed it was a “vital step toward realizing President Trump’s and Prime Minister Modi’s vision because it sets a roadmap toward a final deal.” India, along with Japan and South Korea, seem to be making the greatest amount of headway in talks with the United States. These “Asian trading partners and allies,” Bessent said, “have been the most forthcoming in terms of doing the deals … Vice President Vance was in India last week. I think that he and President Modi made very good progress, so I could see some announcements on India. I could see the contours of a deal with the Republic of Korea coming together, and then we’ve had substantial talks with the Japanese.” Because Japan and South Korea have elections coming up in the months ahead, Bessent sees an opportunity to reach agreements with them sooner rather than later. “I think from our talks that these governments actually want to have the framework of a trade deal done before they go into the elections to show that they have successfully negotiated with the United States,” Bessent said. “So, we’re finding that they’re actually much more keen to come to the table, get this done, and then go home and campaign on it.” Trump implemented the “Liberation Day” tariffs by declaring a national emergency to combat what his administration says are unfair trade practices, protect American workers, and strengthen national security. While most countries received a 90-day reprieve, the United States increased the overall tariff level on China to 145%. Beijing responded by raising tariffs on U.S. goods to 125%. Bessent would not say during the briefing whether Trump administration officials have been talking with their counterparts from China about tariffs, but he did express the view that, “over time, we will see that the Chinese tariffs are unsustainable for China.”

You knew it was coming. You woke up and the sun seemed a little brighter. The birds are singing. Planes are flying — mostly full of gang members headed to their new, secure home in El Salvador. Yes, things are returning to normal. It’s Norming in America. So go ahead, touch some grass. As Ben Shapiro likes to say, “The era of weird is over and the era of the normie is back.” And to celebrate Norming in America, we put together this neat video for you. Today, we’re actually arresting shoplifters and fewer businesses are being burned down. All over America, pronouns are being dropped from bios. Men are (still) not having babies. And fewer drag queens are flashing their genitals at children. What is Norming in America, you ask? Easy. It’s the return of the word “illegal.” It’s Tom Homan on CNN citing chapter and verse of America’s legal code. It’s leaving “wokeness and weakness” behind at the Pentagon. And it’s the sound of federal employees scattering as “Big Balls” from DOGE enters the building. It’s the return of the Easter Bunny to the White House lawn instead of the trans guy flashing his chest for the camera. It’s a press secretary who makes sense when she speaks. And it’s trying to keep up with a president who only needs three hours of sleep to make it through the day compared to a president who needed three naps. It’s the return of biological reality and the removal of men from women’s sports and female prisons. It’s America feeling like America again. So join us, and let’s never go back to those weird, angry, divisive times again.
