| Memo to undocumented immigrants: The Trump administration is coming for you |
| Literally. President Trump campaigned on a promise to crack down on illegal immigrants. Now we know what that looks like like. The Department of Homeland Security issued new directives Tuesday to increase deportations of the nation's 11 million undocumented immigrants. The changes (which don't actually change any laws) are a sweeping rewrite of the nation's immigration enforcement priorities. Now, any immigrant living in the United States illegally who has been charged or convicted of any crime — and even those suspected of a crime — will be an enforcement priority. The exception: President Obama's program that protected more than 750,000 young immigrants from deportation remains as is. |
| If Milo Yiannopoulos wanted to get America talking about him, he wins |
| Actually, Milo Yiannopoulos loses, because he lost his job at Breitbart News. The gay, conservative editor resigned after tapes from a year ago came to light in which he seemed to condone sexual relationships between boys and men. That's not the first setback this week for the provocateur. On Monday, he lost a big book deal with Simon & Schuster and a speaking engagement at CPAC. (The Conservative Political Action Conference is an annual conservative headliner event. President Trump speaks there later this week.) Yiannopoulos is a hero in some conservative circles for his fiery rhetoric and disdain for political correctness. Leslie Jones also weighed in on on Yiannopoulos and said: Stop feeding the trolls. |
| Pluto, you may now move to the head of the class |
| My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas. You know what that is. And now Pizza, errr, Pluto, might be making its way back into the solar system fraternity. Pluto was demoted to "dwarf-planet" status in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), because there appeared to be other objects like it beyond the eighth planet (Neptune). Now, a group of NASA scientists say Pluto should be back and submitted a proposal to the IAU that would redefine a planet. That could serve us as the most out-of-this-world comeback of all time. |
| Burger King and Popeyes want to be in your belly and together forever |
| Restaurant Brands International may not be the first name that comes to mind for fast food, but you know the chains it owns: Burger King and Tim Hortons. Add one more to the list: Popeyes. The company confirmed it will acquire Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen for $1.8 billion. That comes to $79 a share, or roughly equivalent to 11 two-piece chicken dinner combos. Now we're craving Cajun rice. |
