"A federal judge in California on Thursday appeared poised to block parts of President Donald Trump's executive order restricting diversity training for federal contractors that covers "divisive topics" saying she was concerned that it was too broad and vague."

"Trump refused to condemn the insurrection which left five people dead including a Capitol law enforcement officer. He even praised the rioters calling them "patriots" saying "we love you" and "you are very special." The episode was reminiscent of his notorious declaration that there were "very fine people on both sides" in the aftermath of the violence at the deadly 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville Virginia."
