Trump’s ‘one big, beautiful bill’ gets ‘no tax’ on tips and overtime

By  Daniel Chaitin | Daily Wire Two of President Donald Trump’s major tax-related campaign promises that will impact millions of American workers have made it into legislation proposed for the so-called “one big, beautiful bill,” albeit only for a period that would not last beyond his second term. “No Tax On Tips” and “No Tax On Overtime” appear in a 389-page measure released by the House Ways and Means Committee on Monday, with provisions saying the deductions would expire at the end of 2028. Another of Trump’s priorities, no tax on auto loan interest, made it into the legislation. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY WIRE

Trump arrives in Saudi Arabia to kick off high stakes middle east trip

By Leif Le Mahieu | Daily Wire President Donald Trump arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday with a large delegation from his cabinet for meetings with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other high-ranking Saudi officials.

Trump teases ‘most consequential executive order in our country’s history’

By Tim Pearce | Daily Wire President Donald Trump said Sunday he will sign an executive order that will reduce the cost of pharmaceuticals “almost immediately by 30% to 80%.” Trump announced the move in a post on Truth Social. The order aims to bring “FAIRNESS TO AMERICA” by lowering drug costs in the United States while raising them throughout the rest of the world. “Therefore, I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country’s history,” Trump said. “I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World,” he said. “Our Country will finally be treated ...

Harvard gets more bad news from Trump Admin amid funding fight

By  Leif Le Mahieu | Daily Wire Education Secretary Linda McMahon told Harvard University in a letter on Monday that it would no longer be eligible for new federal grants, saying that it has systematically violated federal law. McMahon’s letter to Harvard President Alan Garber comes after the Trump administration has frozen more than $2 billion in federal dollars to the university over DEI and its handling of anti-Israel protests. President Donald Trump last week said that Harvard would lose its tax-exempt status. “Harvard University has made a mockery of this country’s higher education system. It has invited foreign students, who engage in violent behavior and show contempt for the United States of America, to its campus,” McMahon wrote. “In every way, Harvard has failed to ...

Transportation Department learns it’s funding $54 million in woke grants — and ends them

By Mary Margaret Olohan | Daily Wire WASHINGTON—The Department of Transportation is terminating $54 million worth of recently-discovered “woke university grants,” The Daily Wire has learned, arguing that the grants advanced radical agendas that ran counter to the department’s mission. Seven schools received grants which Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy told The Daily Wire were advancing a “radical DEI and green agenda” that is wasteful and counter to the Trump administration’s priorities. The University of California, Davis’s National Center for Sustainable Transportation was receiving $12 million for “accelerating equitable decarbonization” research, according to the department, while City College of New York’s Center for Social and Economic Mobility for People and Communities...

Amid rumors that Mike Waltz was fired, Trump gives him another top admin post

By  Virginia Kruta | Daily Wire Just hours after multiple outlets reported that Mike Waltz was preparing to leave his position in President Donald Trump’s administration — as National Security Adviser — Trump announced that the former Florida Congressman and Green Beret veteran was being appointed to represent the United States at the United Nations. “I am pleased to announce that I will be nominating Mike Waltz to be the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations.

Trump makes Whitmer show her face at Michigan event

By Zach Jewell | Daily Wire Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer had nowhere to hide when President Donald Trump called her to the podium to address National Guardsmen in Michigan on Tuesday. Whitmer met Trump at Selfridge Air National Guard Base in southeast Michigan, where the president stopped during his 100 days celebration to announce that the base, which was at risk of shutting down, would receive a new fighter squadron. During his remarks, Trump thanked the governor for her work “trying to save” the base, and then asked her to speak. Whitmer approached the podium and said she “hadn’t planned to speak” at the event.

How Trump sealed the border in his first 100 days

By Spencer Lindquist | Daily Wire The United States endured a never-before-seen surge in illegal immigration under President Joe Biden, watching as hordes of migrants charged border barriers and towns across the country were reshaped virtually overnight by mass migration. The issue, perhaps more than any other, propelled President Donald Trump to victory in the 2024 election. Trump pledged to end the “invasion on our southern border” throughout his campaign. And in the first 100 days of his second administration, the president has slashed border crossings to a fraction of what they were just months ago. Through a combination of policy changes, arrests and deportations, sanctions, and coordination with foreign governments, Trum...

RFK Jr. to ban petroleum-based food dyes

By Nathan Gay | Daily Wire Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. plans to direct food manufacturers to phase out eight petroleum-based food dyes from cereals, sports drinks, and other grocery staples by the end of 2026. The directive, expected to be announced in full detail on Tuesday, affects hundreds of thousands of grocery store items containing eight petroleum-based dyes, which health experts have long criticized for potentially causing hyperactivity and other neurobehavioral problems in children, according to a New York Times report. The eight dyes being targeted include Red No. 40, Yellow No. 5, Yellow No. 6, Blue No. 1, Blue No. 2, Green No. 3, Red No. 3, and Orange B, according to details provided by HHS officials to the Times.

Biden stumbles through first post-Trump speech

By Nathan Gay | Daily Wire Former President Joe Biden broke his three-month silence Tuesday evening, addressing Social Security in his first public speech since President Trump took office. Biden addressed a gathering of advocates for disabled people in Chicago, accusing Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency of trying to “dismantle” Social Security. Biden, already 30 minutes late, was off to a rough start as the former president appeared to begin reading off the teleprompter while the walkout music was still playing, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he was inaudible to the audience.
