Luigi Mangione returned to federal court on January 23, 2026, for a suppression hearing over the seizure and search of his backpack following his December 9, 2024, arrest at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Judge Margaret Garnett will hear arguments about whether officers lawfully searched the bag before obtaining a warrant. Prosecutors say Altoona police protocols allowed a prompt safety search and later an inventory that uncovered a gun, silencer and a notebook with alleged plans; the defense says the preliminary search tainted the affidavit for a subsequent warrant. The ruling could affect evidence in the federal murder case significantly. (apnews.com)

President Trump startled the country by publicly asking whether he should run for a fourth term, saying “so many people” urged him to run again and calling the 2020 election “totally rigged.” He told NBC he was “not joking” about pursuing a third term and later told reporters aboard Air Force One there were “methods” to extend his tenure. The 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two elected terms, yet allies including Rep. Andy Ogles have proposed amendments, while legal scholars call such routes impractical. Trump posed “Should I run again? You tell me” at a recent White House event recently. (time.com)

After the House passed a partisan funding bill, Senate Democrats warned of another potential “Schumer Shutdown” as the upper chamber prepares votes that could fail to reach 60‑vote cloture. Senator Richard Blumenthal publicly criticized ICE’s tactics and urged investigations, joining other Democrats enraged over immigration enforcement and provisions in the bill. House Democrats blocked or opposed ICE funding in separate actions and staged protests in several cities, but leaders argued demonstrations were unlikely to alter floor math. With tight margins in the Senate and deep intraparty divisions, a shutdown fight now appears likely unless negotiators rapidly strike a compromise soon. (bangordailynews.com)
