Trump to sign executive order banning men from women’s sports — and branding visas with wrong sex as ‘fraud’

By Diana Glebova | New York Post President Trump will sign an executive order Wednesday intending to keep biological men out of women’s sports through Title IX — pressuring schools to comply with the mandate by threatening to pull federal funds. The order will also mandate a visa review of athletes who enter the US to compete and mark the wrong sex on their application for potential “fraud.” Allowing trans women to compete against biological women is “dangerous” and “unfair,” White House officials said in a call previewing the signing Wednesday morning.

Google, arguing it is not a monopoly, asks Ninth Circuit for app store antitrust reversal

By Michael Gennaro  | Courthouse News Google asked a federal appeals court Monday to throw out a federal judge’s ruling stemming from the 2023 antitrust trial where a jury found that Google’s Play Store and billing services on Android platforms constituted an illegal monopoly. The tech giant argues that it competes with Apple — and that the trial judge stopped it from hammering that point home. In October 2024, U.S. District Judge James Donato ordered Google to open up Google Play and carry third-party app stores, and allow those third-party developers to have access to Google Play’s catalog of apps, among other remedies, in order to increase competition on the Android platform. Epic Games sued Google in 2020 after Google removed Epic’s hit game Fortnite from the Google Play Store...

FBI agents sue Trump DOJ to block any public identification of employees who worked on Jan. 6 investigations

By Breanne Deppisch | Fox News A group of nine FBI agents filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking to block the public identification of any FBI employees who worked on the Jan. 6 investigations into the U.S. Capitol riots, in an attempt to head off what they described as potentially retaliatory efforts against personnel involved in the probe. The plaintiffs, who filed the lawsuit anonymously in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said that any effort to review or discriminate against FBI employees involved in the Jan. 6 investigations would be "unlawful and retaliatory," and a violation of civil service protections under federal law. The lawsuit cited the questionnaire employees were required to fill out detailing their specific role in the Jan. 6 investigation and Mar-a...

Press secretary confirms ‘first flights’ carrying illegals to Guantanamo Bay ‘underway’

By Roberto Wakerell-Cruz | The Post Millennial White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that the “first flights” carrying illegal immigrants to Guantanamo Bay are underway. Leavitt made the announcement during an interview on Fox Business, where she said that President Donald Trump was not “messing around” with the plan that he announced last week during the signing ceremony of the Laken Riley Act. "He's no longer going to allow America to be a dumping ground for illegal criminals from nations all over this world," she told Fox Business host Stuart Varney. "Venezuela as well has agreed to repatriation flights and Colombia also agreed to cooperate with the repatriation of illegal Colombian nationals that we have found in the interior of our country,...

House delays key vote on Trump budget bill after conservative fury over spending cuts

By Elizabeth Elkind  | Fox News A key vote to advance a massive conservative policy bill has been delayed, putting House Republicans behind in their ambitious schedule to enact President Donald Trump's agenda. The House Budget Committee had initially aimed to go through and approve the legislation this week, but a source familiar with planning told Fox News Digital that is no longer the case. It comes after conservatives on the panel rejected multiple offers by House GOP leaders on where to set a baseline for cutting federal spending, urging senior Republicans to seek deeper cuts ahead of negotiations with the Senate.

USAID wasted billions of tax dollars on programs that actively harmed Americans

By Wallace White | Daily Caller While Democrats and corporate media outlets rail against President Donald Trump’s freeze on foreign aid, they fail to mention that Washington bureaucrats have poured billions into programs abroad that yield questionable value to American taxpayers. The New York Times, CNN, NPR and other liberal outlets have painted Trump’s day one executive order halting most foreign aid grants for 90 days as an effort to leave the world out to dry, with lawmakers such as Democratic New York Sen. Chuck Schumer and Democratic Delaware Sen. Chris Coons joining the chorus of condemnation against the loss of taxpayer funding for multi-billion dollar humanitarian programs. The new Trump administration’s goal of reducing gove...

Tom Homan to ‘seek prosecution’ against Phil Murphy if he is harboring illegal immigrant

By Jenny Goldsberry | Washington Examiner Border czar Tom Homan will “look into” whether Gov. Phil Murphy (D-NJ) is harboring an illegal immigrant as he claimed. This threat comes after Murphy said at an event that someone in his “broader universe, whose immigration status is not yet at the point that they are trying to get it to,” is living “at our house above our garage.” “Good luck to the feds coming in to try to get her,” Murphy said in the clip.

Senate Finance Committee advances RFK Jr. nomination for HHS secretary

By Josh Christenson | New York Post The Senate Finance Committee voted Tuesday to advance the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) after a pair of contentious hearings last week.

Kennedy, 71, is expected to be considered by the full Senate sometime next week, and would clinch confirmation so long as no more than three Republicans vote against him.

Trump agrees to pause tariffs on Canada in exchange for more border enforcement

By Louis Casiano | Fox News President Donald Trump will pause additional tariffs on Canadian imports for 30 days following a call with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who made some concessions to temporarily stave off the levies.  Trump and Trudeau spoke via phone Monday, hours before additional 25% tariffs were to take effect on Canadian goods coming into the United States. In a post on X, Trudeau said Canada will implement a $1.3 billion border plan and will appoint a fentanyl czar.  In addition, Canada will reinforce its border with new helicopters, technology, personnel and enhanced coordination with American authorities. He added that nearly 10,000 personnel are and will be working on border protection.  READ THE FULL STORY AT FOX NEWS

Trump agrees to delay tariffs after Mexican President vows to send troops to border

By David Zimmermann | National Review President Donald Trump agreed to delay the imposition of sweeping tariffs on Mexico by one month after Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum promised to send 10,000 troops to the southern border to help the U.S. curb illegal immigration and fentanyl trafficking. The agreement came Monday morning, two days after Trump signed three executive orders authorizing 25 percent tariffs on imported goods from Mexico and Canada and a lower 10 percent tariff on products from China. Trump spoke with Sheinbaum and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, both of whom vowed a retaliatory response to the U.S. tariffs. Trump confirmed the long-awaited tariffs on Mexico were paused for one month to allow room for negotiations, ho...
