Trump threatens even larger tariffs on EU, Canada if they work together to cause ‘economic harm’ to the US

By Bradford Betz | Fox Business President Donald Trump early Thursday threatened even larger tariffs on the European Union and Canada if both economies worked together to do "economic harm to the USA."  Writing on his Truth Social platform, the president warned: "If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of these countries has ever had!"  The post comes after the president announced on Wednesday he would impose a 25% tariff on all imported autos.  The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) issued a statement Thursday saying it was "deeply concerned" by Trump's announcement of additional tarif...

Top MS-13 leader described as ‘worst of the worst’ arrested in Virginia during major Trump-backed operation

By Anthony Blair | New York Post US authorities arrested an illegal migrant and top MS-13 leader for the East Coast — and one of the top three in the entire country — in a major Trump-backed operation in Virginia that nabbed more than 340 criminals in the past month alone, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced. “This is what happens when you let good cops be cops,” FBI Director Kash Patel told a press conference, following the arrest of the suspected terrorist, a 24-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, in a raid near Dale City, Prince William County on Thursday morning. Few details have yet been given about the joint operation, which involved the FBI, ICE, ATF, the Virginia State Police, and Prince William County Police Department. READ THE FULL STORY...

Appeals court rejects Trump bid to pause federal funding freeze ruling

By Jack Birle | Washington Examiner A federal appeals court rejected the Trump administration‘s efforts to pause federal aid through an Office of Management and Budget memorandum Wednesday, upholding a lower court’s ruling. The Trump administration attempted to pursue a blanket pause of federal aid disbursements pending a review of the various spending items in January, but the order was blocked by a federal circuit court after several lawsuits, including one by more than a dozen state attorneys general. Despite the Trump administration rescinding the memo, the court still pushed forward with haulting the blanket pause. READ THE FULL STORY AT WASHINGTON EXAMINER

Trump asks DOGE to review states’ voter database maintenance practices

By The Denver Gazette The Trump administration has tapped the Department of Government Efficiency to review states' practices to maintain their voter databases, part of a new move by the White House to strictly enforce the ban on non-citizens voting in federal elections.    The new White House memo authorized DOGE and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to issue subpoenas, presumably to access the states' maintenance systems. Colorado officials are calling the memo an "unlawful" order that would "undermine" American democracy. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DENVER GAZETTE

Foreign partners had already been notified that strikes were imminent:. BOTTOM LINE: President Trump is protecting America and our interests. READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Justice Thomas slams SCOTUS majority for backing Biden’s ghost gun ‘Overreach’

By Katelynn Richardson | Daily Caller Justice Clarence Thomas slammed the majority for backing a Biden administration rule regulating “ghost guns” on Wednesday. In a 7-2 ruling, the Supreme Court held that a rule enabling gun parts kits to be regulated as traditional firearms is not inconsistent with the Gun Control Act (GCA). “The GCA embraces, and thus permits ATF to regulate, some weapon parts kits and unfinished frames or receivers, including those we have discussed,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the ruling. “Because the court of appeals held otherwise, its judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.” READ THE FULL STORY AT THE DAILY CALLER

Greg Abbott hits back at Jasmine Crockett for mocking his wheelchair use: ‘Nothing to sell but hate’

By Anthony Blair | New York Post Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has hit back at left-wing Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) after she mocked his use of a wheelchair, claiming the Democrats have “nothing to sell but hate.” The firebrand Texas lawmaker was slammed after she branded Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels” on Saturday during a Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles. Abbott, who has used a wheelchair since 1984 when a tree fell on his back in a freak accident, brushed aside Crockett’s nasty jibe in an appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity” late Tuesday. “It’s another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate, and Americans are not buying it,” he told host Sean Hannity. “It’s one reason why Texas is going ...

Atlantic reporter publishes more texts about attack on Houthi targets

By Greg Norman  | Fox News The Atlantic published Wednesday what it described as the "attack plans" at the center of a Signal text chain leak involving senior officials in the Trump administration. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and national security advisor Mike Waltz have faced calls to resign following revelations that the outlet's editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently added to a private group chat earlier this month in which Hegseth, Waltz, Vice President JD Vance and other top administration officials reportedly discussed impending airstrikes on Yemen's Houthi rebels. Hegseth has said "nobody was texting war plans" and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard vowed during a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Tuesday that there was "no classifi...

Trump Admin to crack down on public housing for illegal aliens

By Spencer Lindquist | Daily Wire The Trump administration is working to prevent illegal aliens from accessing public housing, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) teaming up to end the “wasteful misappropriation” of taxpayer money. The two federal agencies laid out their plans in a memorandum of understanding, stating that they will share data and work together to identify illegal aliens who are currently in public housing. “We will safeguard precious taxpayer resources, and we will stop the harmful practices of the former Biden administration, which favored and prioritized illegal aliens over American citizens in the expenditure of housing funds and subsidies,” the memo reads, also adding that the measure is intended to “hel...

MAGA influencers allegedly rewarded to publicly oppose RFK Jr. initiative to remove soda from SNAP benefits

By Timothy Sekerak | Daily Caller Multiple high-profile influencers associated with Make America Great Again (MAGA) have been accused of taking payments to oppose the Health and Human Services (HHS) initiative to remove soda from food stamps. This debacle started Saturday when a thread on X from Nick Sortor appeared to show several influencers were accepting compensation for posts made pushing back against the federal government going after soda products being offered through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). “Over the past 48 hours, several large supposedly MAGA-aligned ‘influencers’ posted almost identical talking points fed to them, convincing you MAHA was out of line for not wanting soda purchases with food stamps (SNAP),” Sortor writes.
