Trump Jr.’s involvement in politics has fueled speculation that elected office is in his future.
While speaking at the Qatar Economic Forum, was asked by Bloomberg’s Joumanna Nasr Bercetche if he would “consider picking up the reins” when his father leaves the White House.
“Would you run for office?” she asked as the crowd applauded the possibility.
“Well, it’s an honor to be asked and an honor to see that some people are OK with it,” Trump Jr. said, acknowledging the crowd.
“You never know. You know, right now, this has been my focus,” he said, referring to combatting “woke ideology” in politics and the corporate world.
“I think it’s not just about government. It’s also about … the business sector doing that. I think when we saw, again, the woke ideology that has taken over corporate America for the last decade or so, being on the forefront of combating that insanity, I think is fundamentally important,” he said.
“I think those two things have to go hand-in-hand,” Trump Jr. continued.
“So the answer is: I don’t know” about a future in politics, he said.
“Maybe one day that calling is there. I’ll always be very active in terms of being an vocal proponent of these things,” he said.
Trump Jr. claimed his father has been a transformational political figure.
“I think my father has truly changed the Republican Party. I think it’s the America First Party now, the MAGA Party — however you want to look at it,” he said.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ draft in April raised questions about cornerback Jamel Dean‘s future with the NFL team.
“If he catches the balls that he drops, we wouldn’t even be talking about this,” Tampa Bay cornerbacks coach Kevin Ross said about Dean last week. “He’s got to catch the ball, he’s got to stay healthy, and he’ll be fine.”
But those things haven’t happened the past two years, and the Buccaneers used their second-round pick on Notre Dame cornerback Benjamin Morrison and their third-round pick on Kansas State cornerback Jacob Parrish in the NFL Draft on April 25.
That wasn’t surprising. At the league meetings in March, Tampa Bay general manager Todd Licht said, “We could use some help there” when asked about cornerback, and Bucs coach Todd Bowles said about the position, “We don’t have a lot of depth, and we hope to address that at some point in the draft.”
Licht also said Dean “was a really good player not too long ago.”
That was when Tampa Bay signed him to a four-year, $52 million contract extension in 2023 rather than allow him to become a free agent after he’d reached the end of the four-year,$3.559 million contract signed as a third-round draft pick from Auburn in 2019.
At that point in Dean’s career, opposing quarterbacks had a 73.6 passing-efficiency rating when throwing against him in 57 regular-season games. Dean also had played in seven playoff games and started all four postseason games as Tampa Bay capped the 2020 season with a 31-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LV.
In his first four seasons, Dean had seven interceptions and 41 passes defended. Since signing the contract extension, Dean has one interception and 11 passes defended. The passing-efficiency rating when throwing against Dean was 100.27 in the past two seasons.
Dean missed four games in 2023 and five games in 2024 with injuries. He played 63.2 percent of Tampa Bay’s defensive snaps in 2023 and 62.4 percent in 2024.
“Dean’s got to get healthy,” Bowles said in March. “He comes in and he plays. He can’t play half a year every couple of years, and he understands he’s got to get healthy. He’s doing everything he can to be healthy, but we’ve got to have some depth there just in case. If somebody comes in and competes with him, he’s going to have to compete.”
Ross said when NFL teams draft cornerbacks as early as the Buccaneers did this year, “you expect them to play, you expect them to contribute.”
Where does that leave Dean, who has no guaranteed money remaining in his contract, for the 2025 season?
“Jamel Dean, he’s going to be OK,” Ross said. “I was in that situation (as a player) in Kansas City. We drafted a first-round corner, Dale Carter. We brung in James Hasty from the Jets. That’s the nature of this business. You’re trying to upgrade. You’re trying to keep your team up, ready for the season and everything, so he’ll be ready. Everybody’ll be ready. It’s good for the backfield.”
But Dean has to stay on the field to compete.
“Availability is the No. 1 thing,” Ross said. “Knock on wood, I hope he’s healthy the whole year. But unfortunately, he hasn’t been. We haven’t played with the same secondary since God knows when here. It’s good to have these other guys come in and contribute.”

“Add a comfy spot to relax with this rocking Adirondack chair – just right for enjoying the nice weather solo or with friends and family. The frame is crafted from HDPE with stainless steel hardware, making it a weather-resistant piece that also stands up to strong UV rays and rain,“ Wayfair’s product details state.
“We love the variety of solid hue options available, so you can find the best look for your beach-inspired space. Plus, this chair showcases that classic Adirondack silhouette with its slatted details and arched, high back. It also has curved legs for easy rocking back and forth.”
The Ravenna HDPE Rocking Adirondack Chair is a top-rated item with 4.7 stars overall on Wayfair. Most reviews state that this outdoor chair is both sturdy and made of quality material.
One promising review states, “I love my new Adirondack rocking chair. Adapts well to rainy days. I can’t wait until the sun shines to enjoy rocking in it! Was fairly easy to put together. I had to have help to put on the back of it since I didn’t have a third hand.”
Another helpful review states, “I purchased these chairs after seeing the outrageous price of the largest ‘name brand’ of HDPE adirondacks. I wasn’t expecting great quality at this price point. I’m so happy to say that I was wrong. These chairs look and feel almost identical to the very expensive PW rocking chairs that my HOA keeps at the community center. They’re very comfortable. I’m so happy with them and I anticipate that they’ll last years.”
In the middle of Alabama’s fraught congressional redistricting, a political consultant deeply involved in the process sent Alabama Sen. Steve Livingston, R-Scottsboro, a text message asking if they could meet.
“Coming through?” the consultant, Chris Brown, who lives in Jefferson County, asked in 2023. “I’m clear the rest of the day.”
Livingston, who co-chaired the state’s redistricting committee and was in the state capital, replied with three words.
“Still monkey town.”
Earlier this month, a panel of three federal judges — two of them appointed by President Donald Trump — published an order that, if bound between two covers, would be a book. At 552 pages, the latest installment of the Allen v. Milligan case, seeks to answer a question.
Is Alabama’s government intentionally racist, or maybe racist by accident?
In the 2021 lawsuit over Alabama’s congressional maps, a group of Black voters argued that Livingston’s text message was yet another sign pointing to an obvious answer. An Alabama historian testified that the term is a racially derogatory nickname for Montgomery.
On the other hand, one Black Alabama state lawmaker, Sen. Bobby Singleton, D-Greensboro, testified that he didn’t take it that way in the context.
The judges didn’t seem convinced of its harmlessness and cited it several times in their new 552-page tome.
(I called Livingston to ask what he meant by the term, but I haven’t heard back.)
Regardless, the federal judges seem to have found an answer to the bigger question, for which Livingston’s text was another grain of sand on top of a greater mountain of evidence.
“As we explain below, despite our searching review of all the evidence before us — much of it directly from the Legislators and Legislature, none of it in dispute — try as we might, we cannot understand the 2023 Plan as anything other than an intentional effort to dilute Black Alabamians’ voting strength and evade the unambiguous requirements of court orders standing in the way,” the judges wrote this month.
In other words, it doesn’t matter what Livingston meant by “monkey town,” so much as what Livingston and other lawmakers did with their map. Their discrimination against Black Alabamians has been clear, unambiguous and intentional.
Alabama’s state government is intentionally racist, the judges concluded.
The court makes clear in its ruling that it considered every other interpretation of the facts, every argument to the contrary. In the end, they found that the Alabama Legislature isn’t only racist, but stubborn, too.
It’s just the latest chapter in a long-running saga, one where Alabama keeps losing at most every turn. In 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a previous finding from the same three judges and told Alabama to draw a second congressional district where Black voters could have a voice. But the Alabama Legislature refused. Arguing that it was impossible to meet the court’s criteria, the state tried to take the case back to the high court again. That attempt failed and the lower court had to draw the state’s map itself.
But the court seems to have had enough and appears to be considering something further — putting Alabama back under the sort of federal supervision the state escaped after the Shelby v. Holder case set it free in 2018.
“The 2020 redistricting cycle in Alabama — the first cycle in 50 years that Alabama has been free of the strictures of federal preclearance — did not have to turn out this way,” the judges wrote. “We wish it had not, but we have eyes to see the veritable mountain of evidence that it did.”
In other words, Alabama blew the chance to show it wasn’t racist.
“[T]he Legislature may subject itself to a finding that it has enacted a map for the purpose of discriminating against minority voters by diluting their voting strength,” the judges wrote “After an exhaustive review of all the evidence, we have made just that finding.”
The voters who sued have asked for federal oversight of Alabama elections. The federal judges in this case seem poised to give it to them.
And putting Sen. Livingston’s monkey business at an end.
For the last two months of their life in the United States, José Alberto González and his family spent nearly all their time in their one-bedroomDenver apartment. They didn’t speak to anyone except their roommates, another family from Venezuela.
They consulted WhatsApp messages for warnings of immigration agents in the area before leaving for the rare landscaping job or to buy groceries.
But most days at 7:20 a.m., González’s wife took their children to school, determined to help them learn English and receive and American education.
Even as immigrants avoid going out in public, terrified of encountering law enforcement, families across the country are mostly sending their children to school.
But in some cases, families are telling local educators that they’re leaving. Departures in significant numbers could spell trouble for schools, which receive funding based on how many students they enroll.
Reporters from The Associated Press, the Hechinger Report and AL.com surveyed school districts and spoke to people around the country this spring. Here’s what we found after reaching out to more than 50 districts:
Data obtained from 15 districts across eight states, including Alabama, showed a decline in school attendance after President Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration and changes in immigration enforcement.
In most places, attendance rebounded, but some districts are beginning to see immigrant families withdraw students.
Some districts are worrying about lower summer school enrollment, an indicator that fall 2025 enrollment also may decline.
Dozens of districts didn’t respond to requests for attendance data. Some said they feared drawing the attention of immigration enforcement.
Already, thousands of immigrants have notified federal authorities they plan to “self-deport,” according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Trump has encouraged more families to leave by stoking fears of imprisonment, government surveillance and offering people $1,000 and transportation out of the country.
On Feb. 28, González and his family boarded a bus from Denver to El Paso, where they would walk across the border and start the trip back to Venezuela. They had spent two years in the U.S. and had hoped to stay a decade.
Around the country, other immigrant families are debating what to do.
In Alabama, Alberto, a 50-year-old father of five who lives in Albertville, said he misses his elderly father in Guatemala. But he can’t envision moving his family back there, either. One son is in the U.S. Navy, another is about to join the military and his youngest child is about to start elementary school.
“It worries me, if they catch us, or what’s going to happen, I don’t know. What can we do?” he said. “They’re going to ask us for papers, and we don’t have any.”
For now, Alberto plans to stay, with his family. But other people in Albertville and around the country reported collecting documents, saving money and thinking about other opportunities if they need to leave town.
“The amount of fear and uncertainty that is going through parents’ heads, who could blame somebody for making a choice to leave?” said Andrea Rentería, principal of a Denver elementary school serving immigrant students. “I can tell them as a principal that I won’t let anybody in this school. Nobody is taking your kid. But I can’t say the same for them out in the workforce or driving somewhere.”
Families worry about safety at school
Historically, schools, hospitals and churches have been considered off-limits for immigration arrests. In January, the Trump administration cleared the way for enforcement at those locations.
Across Alabama, many school districts with large immigrant populations reported lower attendance during the first few weeks of Trump’s administration, particularly among students who are still learning English.

In Shelby County, schools saw a 16 percentage-point drop in English learner attendance during that time frame, while overall enrollment stayed flat.
Otilia Lopez, from Pelham, has lived in the U.S. for 25 years. She recalls back in February when some of her friends were scared to send their children to school.
“She called me crying,” she said of one friend who was scared of the possibility of ICE raids at her kids’ schools. She was also worried about getting deported herself and being separated from her children. One of her kids who could drive went to school, and “he got all his brothers and the cousins together and (brought) them home.”

Nationwide, schools are still reporting immediate drops in daily attendance during weeks when there is immigration enforcement — or even rumors of ICE raids — in their communities, said Hedy Chang of the nonprofit Attendance Works, which helps schools address absenteeism.
In Denver, attendance in public schools fell by 3% in February compared with the same period last year, with even steeper declines of up to 4.7% at schools primarily serving immigrant newcomer students. The deflated rates continued through March, with districtwide attendance down 1.7% and as much as 3.9% at some newcomer schools.
Some parents told Denver school staff they had no plans of nearing their children’s campus.
The Denver school district sued the government over Trump’s changes to enforcement in sensitive locations, saying attendance dropped “noticeably” across all schools, “particularly those schools in areas with new-to-country families and where ICE raids have already occurred.” A federal judge ruled in March the district failed to prove the new policy caused the attendance decline.
Some refugee families, even those who are living in the U.S. legally, are looking for yet another country that might let them safely live and work.
“I don’t want to be treated like a delinquent,” González, in Denver, said in Spanish. “I’m from Venezuela and have tattoos. For [Trump], that means I’m a criminal.”

“They’re thinking of doing that because then they can choose where to go. They’re afraid they’re going to be deported to a country that would be more unsafe for them,” said Meredith Gartin, president of the Alabama Interfaith Refugee Partnership.
Deciding to leave
In late February, González and his wife withdrew their children from school and told administrators they were returning to Venezuela. He posted a goodbye message on a Facebook group for Denver volunteers he used to find work and other help. “Thank you for everything, friends,” he posted. “Tomorrow I leave with God’s favor.”
Immediately, half a dozen Venezuelan and Colombian women asked him for advice on getting back. “We plan to leave in May, if God allows,” one woman posted in Spanish.
In Denver, 3,323 students have withdrawn from school through mid-April – an increase of 686 compared with the same period last year. Denver school officials couldn’t explain the uptick.
At the 400-student Denver elementary school Andrea Rentería heads, at least two students have withdrawn since the inauguration because of immigration concerns. One is going back to Colombia and the other didn’t say where they were headed.

School officials in Massachusetts and Washington state have confirmed some students are withdrawing from school to return to El Salvador, Brazil and Mexico. Haitians are trying to go to Mexico or Canada.
In Chelsea, Massachusetts, a 6,000-student district where nearly half the students are still learning English, a handful of families have recently withdrawn their children because of immigration concerns.
One mother in March withdrew two young children from the district to return to El Salvador, according to district administrator Daniel Mojica. Her 19-year old daughter will stay behind, on her own, to finish school – a sign that these decisions are leading to more family separation.
In Bellingham, Washington, two families withdrew their children after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid in early April at a local roofing company, where agents arrested fathers of 16 children attending Bellingham schools.Both families returned to Mexico, family engagement specialist Isabel Meaker said.
“There’s a sense, not just with these families, that it’s not worth it to fight. They know the end result,” Meaker said.
Where are students, families going?
Countries with large populations living in the United States are seeing signs of more people wanting to return home.
Applications for Brazilian passports from consulates in the U.S. increased 36% in March, compared to the previous year, according to data from the Brazilian Foreign Ministry. Birth registrations, the first step to getting a Brazilian passport for a U.S.-born child, were up 76% in April compared to the previous year. Guatemala reports a 5% increase over last year for passports from its nationals living in the United States.
Last month, Melvin Josué, his wife and another couple drove four hours from New Jersey to Boston to get Honduran passports for their American-born children.
It’s a step that’s taken on urgency in case these families decide life in the United States is untenable. Melvin Josué worries about Trump’s immigration policy and what might happen if he or his wife is detained, but lately he’s more concerned with the difficulty of finding work.
Demand for his drywall crew immediately stopped amid the economic uncertainty caused by tariffs. There’s also more reluctance, he said, to hire workers here illegally.
“I don’t know what we’ll do, but we may have to go back to Honduras,” he said. “We want to be ready.”
What’s next for schools?
The size of the exodus and its impact on schools remains unclear, but already some are starting to worry.
A consultant working with districts in Texas on immigrant education said one district there has seen a significant drop in summer school sign-ups for students learning English.
“They’re really worried about enrollment for the fall,” said Viridiana Carrizales, chief executive officer of ImmSchools, a nonprofit that advises school districts how to meet the needs of immigrant students and their families.
A staff member walks past a message to students that hangs on the wall at Place Bridge Academy, May 20, 2025, in Denver.AP
Education finance experts predict budget problems for districts with large immigrant populations.
“Every student that walks in the door gets a chunk of money with it, not just federal money, but state and local money, too,” said Marguerite Roza, a Georgetown University professor focusing on education finance. “If a district had a lot of migrant students in its district, that’s a loss of funds potentially there. We think that’s a real high risk.”
Trump’s offer to pay immigrants to leave and help them with transportation could hasten the departures.
González, now back in Venezuela, says he wouldn’t have accepted the money, because it would have meant registering with the U.S. government, which he no longer trusts. And that’s what he’s telling the dozens of migrants in the U.S. who contact him each week asking the best way home.
Go on your own, he tells them. Once you have the cash, it’s much easier going south than it was getting to the U.S. in the first place.

Gizmo, a small but mighty rescue dog, is one of three finalists in the Wahl Dirty Dogs Contest, with a chance to win a $10,000 grant for his shelter, the Greater Birmingham Humane Society.
Rescue organizations from across the country have shared some of their most inspiring dog transformation stories.
Gizmo was found locked in a dark basement, covered with heavily matted fur. Gizmo couldn’t walk, see or eat when he was rescued.
It took two hours of careful grooming to clean him up. More than two pounds of filthy matting were removed. Underneath, groomers found a tiny dog ready for a new life.
Today, Gizmo is thriving, wagging his tail, and awaiting adoption.
To win the national competition, he’ll have to beat out Lenny Kravitz, who was found on a rural road in Selma, California, covered in ticks and dreadlocks.
But baby, it ain’t over till it’s over. Lenny has been adopted and now lives a pampered life in Pennsylvania.
The other finalist is Mattie from Martinsburg, West Virginia, who was rescued from a hoarding situation and adopted by a foster family after extensive grooming.
Greater Good Charities worked with Wahl, which donated grooming supplies for rescue organizations, to find shelter for dogs in need.
Gizmo’s transformation stood out among hundreds of entries for its dramatic impact and emotional backstory.
“We are proud to support shelters that save lives every day,” said Zach Wyer, senior director of Marketing for Wahl. ”A good bath and grooming uncovers some of the most vulnerable pets’ hidden potential to find families looking to adopt.”
How To Vote for Your Favorite Dirty Dog
Visit @WahlPets on TikTok to watch each finalist’s transformation story. Then, vote by commenting #WahlDirtyDogsContest on your favorite video. There is no limit to the number of comments allowed per person.
Voting is open through June 13, 2025. By commenting, you can win, too. Each comment will be entered in a sweepstakes to win a Wahl® Pets Prize Pack. The dog’s video with the most comments wins a $10,000 grant for their shelter, with 2nd place winning $3,000 and 3rd place winning $2,000. Each of these monetary grants will help give even more dogs a shot at a new beginning.
“The Dirty Dogs Contest is one of my favorite campaigns because it shows what rescue work is all about—taking a dog who’s been forgotten and helping them shine,” said Lee Asher, animal advocate and founder of The Asher House. “It’s amazing what a simple groom can do for a dog’s confidence, comfort, and adoptability. These dogs just need a little help to show the world who they really are.”
