Trump Tower Evicts Secret Service: Report

Secret Service agents have reportedly set up shop outside Trump Tower after they were forced to relocate their command post to a trailer on the sidewalk. The president's real estate company has evicted his U.S. Secret Service detail from the unit below his penthouse in Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, according to The Washington Post. The president's protectors seem to be holding out hope that they'll eventually be allowed to move back into the building. (Patch)

NAACP Missouri's Travel Advisory Urges 'Extreme Caution,' Slams 'Jim Crow Bill'

The NAACP is issuing its first-ever statewide travel advisory, telling people of color to "travel with extreme caution" in Missouri, thanks to a new law the organization has dubbed a "Jim Crow Bill." The warning comes after Missouri legislators approved Senate Bill 43, which makes it more difficult for employees to prove discrimination based on race or gender. "Race, gender and color based crimes have a long history in Missouri," the NAACP said in a statement. (Patch)

West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice Switches Parties

Justice will now serve West Virginia as member of the Republican Party, leaving the Democratic Party behind him, the governor announced at a rally with the president Thursday night. The change means Democrats will control only 15 governors' mansions across the country. Justice was elected in November with 49 percent of the vote — 20 percentage points behind Trump's total in the presidential contest in the state.
