Trump signs bill to protect young people from sextortion and revenge porn

By  Amanda Prestigiacomo | Daily Wire President Donald Trump signed the bipartisan “Take It Down Act” into law on Monday, surrounded by First Lady Melania Trump and lawmakers who helped advance the bill. The “Take It Down Act” makes publishing non-consensual intimate imagery, real or AI-generated, a federal crime. It requires social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, X, and Facebook to remove content that features explicit images or videos of minors, known as “child sexual abuse material,” or CSAM, or “revenge porn,” within 48 hours of the content being flagged. Mrs. Trump has been a fierce advocate for the “Take It Down Act,” encouraging lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to push the legislation forward. FLOTUS opened the signing with remarks about the bipartisan effort to...

Zelensky lands in Turkey as Putin skips meeting, Russia calls him a ‘clown and loser’

By  Kassy Akiva | Daily Wire Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky landed in Turkey today for what he hoped would be face-to-face negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Instead, he was met with Putin’s underlings. On Sunday, Putin first proposed direct talks with Ukraine to bring the three-year war to a close during a televised address. “We are proposing that Kyiv resume direct negotiations without any preconditions,” Putin said. “We offer the Kyiv authorities to resume negotiations already on Thursday, in Istanbul.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY WIRE

Trump Justice Department cuts transgender grants, will use money to fund law enforcement

By Mary Margaret Olohan | Daily Wire WASHINGTON—The Department of Justice is taking funds that it formerly granted to groups supporting transgender ideology and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, and using these funds to support United States law enforcement, documents obtained by The Daily Wire show. The move is reflective of President Donald Trump’s aggressive push to weed out government use of taxpayer funding for woke or ideological purposes. That’s particularly significant in the Department of Justice, where, under President Joe Biden’s administration, Americans were targeted and investigated for practicing their faith, participating in peaceful pro-life protests, or pushing back against explicit gender ideology and sex education in schools. After news broke that ...

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. From his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as my National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz has worked hard to put our Nation’s Interests first,” Trump posted via his Truth Social platform early Thursday afternoon. “I know he will do the same in his new role. In the interim, Secretary of State Mar...
