President Donald Trump has tapped Vice President J.D. Vance to broker a potential sale of TikTok to a U.S.-based entity before the most recent ban extension elapses in April, according to two people familiar with the arrangement. In the latest chapter of the TikTok saga — which began in 2020 with Trump and culminated in the app going dark for a few hours last month — the president selected Vance, along with National Security Adviser Michael Waltz, to oversee a congressionally mandated potential deal between Chinese-based owner ByteDance and an American entity.The White House negotiators will have their work cut out for themselves. It remains to be seen what type of arrangement, if any, ByteDance and China will agree to.

Buckley Space Force Base in Aurora will not process and house detained immigrants after all, U.S. Rep. Jason Crow told reporters Monday during a news conference outside the sprawling, windswept facility.

President Trump entered his resurgent era on an avalanche of dozens of sweeping executive orders and proclamations, some of which had immediate impacts on immigration, the federal bureaucracy, the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.Yes, but: Not everyone in the MAGA masses is singing the same tune. Here's what you may have missed when newsmakers hit the airwaves this Sunday, Jan. 26. 1. Trump, Biden face pardon pushback Sen. Lindsey Graham speaks during an interview on NBC News' "Meet the Press" on Jan. 26.Monday's flurry of pardons from President Trump and former President Biden exposed a glimmer of bipartisanship on Capitol Hill — with many lawmakers agreeing both took their power too far. Minutes before leaving office, Biden preemptively pardoned five family members. And just after Trump took over the Oval Office, he pardoned some 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants.What they're saying: Pardoning those who beat up law enforcement officers on Jan. 6 was "a mistake," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press.""I will be consistent here, I don't like the idea of bailing people out of jail or pardoning people who burned down cities and beat up cops, whether you are Republican or a Democrat," he continued.Speaking on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday, Graham also criticized Biden's use of pardons and suggested there should be "an effort to rein in the pardon power of the president" if perceived abuses persist.The other side: Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) called for additional guardrails on the president's vast pardon power on "Fox News Sunday," highlighting legislation he introduced following Trump's Jan. 6 pardons."These decisions are made in the shadows; they are a black box," he said.Worth noting: It's not just lawmakers who would be on board with a change. Some participants in Axios' latest Engagious/Sago swing-voter focus group said Trump and Biden both went too far with their presidential pardons and that they'd back a theoretical constitutional amendment to taper presidential pardon power.Zoom out: Both the Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the U.S., and the International Association of Chiefs of Police condemned Trump's near-total pardons of Jan. 6 rioters.Among the roughly 1,500 pardoned and 14 others whose sentences were commuted were individuals who attacked officers and leaders of the extremist groups the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.Threat level: Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) highlighted the hyper-partisan environment violent Jan. 6 rioters and members of extremist groups were released into, saying on CBS News' "Face the Nation," "None of this is making us safe."While he defended Biden's decision to pardon his family members in the wake of persistent threats from Trump and fears of political retribution, Crow said, "what I would like to see overall is pardon reform.""People need to know that the person sitting in the Oval Office has their best interests in mind at all times," Crow said, "and certainly not with Donald Trump right now can they have that feeling of trust and confidence, because ... five days into this administration, the abuse is already rampant."2. Trump's inspectors general firings generate some shrugs Sen. Richard Blumenthal speaks during a Jan. 26 interview on "Fox News Sunday."Trump's ongoing civil service shakeup saw more than a dozen inspectors general booted from their posts across the federal government Friday.The intrigue: The terminations, as stated by Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, appear to violate federal law requiring a 30-day congressional notice of intent to fire a Senate-confirmed inspector general."There may be good reason the IGs were fired," Grassley said in a Saturday statement to CNN. "We need to know that if so. I'd like further explanation from President Trump. Regardless, the 30-day detailed notice of removal that the law demands was not provided to Congress."Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) described Trump's move as "a clear violation of law," while Blumenthal challenged his GOP colleagues to "join me in opposing these firings."Blumenthal added, "Elon Musk ought to be also joining because he is against wasteful spending," something watchdogs would likely monitor.Yes, but: Graham noted that while Trump "technically" violated the law, he has "the authority" to dismiss personnel. Zoom out: Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) echoed Graham Sunday, brushing off concerns that Trump may install loyalists in inspector general posts."It's very common as new administrations come in that specifically these positions be replaced," he said.Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) similarly shrugged off the dismissals, telling Fox's Shannon Bream, "Ultimately, these inspectors general serve at the pleasure of the president — he wants new people in there."Flashback: During Trump's first-term fight to purge the government and so-called "deep state" of those deemed disloyal, he targeted multiple inspectors general.While it is normal for political appointees to be replaced during presidential transitions, a report from the Congressional Research Service notes that the "practice has disfavored removal of IGs during presidential transitions" following sweeping action at the beginning of former President Reagan's term.Since 1981, the report states, "IGs have remained in their positions during each presidential transition."3. Republicans urge Trump to rethink pulling security details for ex-officials Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) speaks during a Jan. 26 interview on "Fox News Sunday."Trump's decision to strip security protections from former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and others could expose those individuals to threats from abroad and have a chilling effect on future officials, Cotton said Sunday.Beyond Pompeo, Trump revoked former national security adviser John Bolton's and former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci's security details.Pompeo's top aide Brian Hook also reportedly lost his security.Context: Pompeo has criticized Trump on foreign and fiscal policy, while Bolton warned his former boss was "unfit" to be president again.Fauci has been open about receiving death threats. Pompeo, Bolton and Hook have faced threats from Iran.What they're saying: "I would encourage the president to revisit the decision for those people who are being targeted by Iran as the president was targeted for assassination by Iran," Cotton, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee said on "Fox News Sunday."The threat to those involved in the strike that killed Qasem Soleimani, once one of the Iranian regime's most powerful figures, is "persistent" and "real," Cotton said. "It's better to be safe than sorry," he said, "because it's not just about these men who helped President Trump carry out his policy in his first term, it's about their family and friends, innocent bystanders every time they're in public."Zoom out: Graham seemingly agreed, telling NBC's Kristen Welker Sunday, "if there is a legitimate threat against people who have served our government from a foreign adversary, I don't want to pull that protection.""The last thing we want to do in this country is tell somebody, come into our government ... come up with policies to stand up to rogue nations like Iran, they come after you, we pull the rug on you," Graham said.More from Axios' Sunday coverage:Vance tells Catholic Bishops to 'look in the mirror' over immigration policy concernsScoop: How Trump's "black box" limits outside influencesCIA favors COVID lab leak theory

Missed the second half of the show? The latest on...Republican Rep. Mike Turner tells "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that although President Trump signed an executive order delaying the enforcement of a law forcing ByteDance to divest from TikTok, the app "remains a national security threat", Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado tells "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" that after former President Joe Biden's preemptive pardon of his family members that "there needs to be some guardrails put in place and some reform of the pardon process", and the Trump administration is developing an asylum agreement with El Salvador's government that would allow the U.S. to deport migrants to the small Central American country who are not from there, Camilo Montoya-Galvez reports.

The attempted assassination of President-elect Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, July 13 was "preventable and should not have happened," a bipartisan task force concluded in a report released Tuesday.The big picture: In a 180-page report, the House panel blamed institutional breakdowns in the Secret Service as well as failures in security planning and execution, most notably missteps in securing the building complex where the shooter fired eight shots.The shooting by a lone gunman killed one person and wounded the then-Republican presidential nominee and two others.What they found: "The various failures in planning, execution, and leadership on and before July 13, 2024, and the preexisting conditions that undermined the effectiveness of the human and material assets deployed that day, coalesced to create an environment in which the former President — and everyone at the campaign event — were exposed to grave danger," the report states."The Secret Service did not provide clear guidance to its state and local partners about which entity was responsible for the area," the House panel wrote. "An expressed lack of manpower and assets was not sufficiently addressed, resulting in coverage gaps on the ground," the report continued.Yes, but: The response to the second assassination attempt against Trump about two months later in West Palm Beach, Florida, "demonstrated how properly executed protective measures can foil an attempted assassination," the panel found.Zoom in: The report includes recommendations that the Secret Service strengthen its capabilities by evaluating its budget, staffing and personnel retention challenges.The agency may benefit, the panel wrote, from reducing the number of people under its protection.The task force also recommended that Congress consider moving some of the Secret Service's "investigative functions" to a different agency within or outside of the Department of Homeland Security.What they're saying: Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi told Axios in a statement that the agency "appreciates the diligence" of the task force and that the findings match its internal investigation."Today's report reinforces our resolve to bring change to the Secret Service," he added. "We continue to take action to acquire new technologies, strengthen training, develop our personnel, and seek resources to fortify the Secret Service."Zoom out: U.S. Rep. Jason Crow, the top-ranking Democrat on the task force, told Axios that the American people should feel confident about the security of elected officials regardless of partisan affiliation. "Our next step will be, not just being sure that they take responsibility, but assuring accountability and that changes are made so it doesn't happen again," he said.Representatives for Trump did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.Context: The Secret Service faced intense scrutiny following the assassination attempt and agency director Kimberly Cheatle resigned in the aftermath.In the weeks after the initial assassination attempt, Congress members voted unanimously in favor of creating a task force to investigate the shooting.The panel comprised of seven Republicans and six Democrats was tasked with investigating all actions by agencies and officials at local, state and federal levels related to the shooting.Go deeper: U.S. Rep. Jason Crow reacts to the Trump assassination report

Despite the intent to find solutions following the assassination attempt of President-elect Trump back in July, bipartisan lawmakers got into a heated exchange.

More than $80 million was spent on Colorado's eight congressional races this election cycle, final campaign filings and independent spending reports show -- but that money wasn't spread evenly across the districts.

Acting Director Ronald Rowe said the agency has enacted multiple changes since the assassination attempts.

Every Colorado race for the U.S. House of Representatives this year turned out the way they should have, according to a tried and true measure of the congressional districts' partisan performances.

In response to Republican complaints about a government “weaponized” against Donald Trump, Democrats had always pointed out Joe Biden’s son faced charges, too.

Leading Colorado Democrats criticized President Joe Biden's pardon of his son for federal crimes, calling the move a "mistake" that weakens Americans' faith in the justice system.

The manipulated footage has the late civil rights leader denouncing Democrats as “the party of slavery” while praising the former president as a savior.

Talk of Haitian immigrants eating pets in Springfield conceals Trump's tour of sundown towns in battleground states

By Darrell Ehrlick for Daily MontananWhen Montanans see an advertisement or hear U.S. Senate candidate and political newcomer Tim Sheehy speak, he’ll likely talk about his experiences as a businessman and pilot who launched an aerial firefighting company in Bozeman. It’s a central part of the campaign and the candidate’s identity.The Republican who is challenging incumbent Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester has built that backstory: First he was a U.S. Navy SEAL, combat wounded, and then a businessman who even wrote a book on aerial firefighting. That book was widely seen as a prelude or introduction of Sheehy as a public figure.The book, “Mudslingers: A True Story of Aerial Firefighting,” was also subtitled, “An American Origins Story.” It’s part history, part travelogue and part autobiography, published in 2023 by Permuted Press and distributed by publishing giant Simon and Schuster.But, the book which has helped solidify his place as a candidate and authority on aerial firefighting seems to have at least four different passages that were plagiarized—sourced, but not credited in the book, according to an investigation by the Daily Montanan.

The Daily Montanan put Sheehy’s book through commercially available software that scans texts against a massive store of other published and online sources to compare passages.

Donald Trump can't stand to be publicly humiliated by a Black woman

Republican senators have introduced bill to elevate former President Trump's protection.

Republicans took over a purple county school board in North Carolina two years ago — and it could get even worse this fall.

House lawmakers were briefed by Secret Service officials on Wednesday after a man was arrested over an apparent assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

The FBI said former President Donald Trump was the target of “what appears to be an attempted assassination ” at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday, just nine weeks after the Republican presidential nominee survived another attempt on his life.
