EPA working with DOJ, FBI on NGO corruption after eight groups tied to ‘gold bars’ scheme

By Sean Moran | Breitbart Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin detailed on The Alex Marlow Show how the Biden administration protected $20 billion in “gold bars” meant for leftist NGOs, many of them with connections to the Biden administration. Zeldin sent shockwaves in mid-February after he had pledged to recover $20 billion in taxpayer funds that had been sent by the Biden administration to climate change projects and other pet projects of Democrat staffers. The EPA Administrator at the time likened it to “throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” saying that it was a “rush job with reduced oversight.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

VP Vance lays out how Zelenskyy could salvage relationship with U.S. in first interview since Oval Office blow up

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller Vice President JD Vance explained how the United States and Ukraine could have a path forward for a relationship in his first interview since the world leaders of the two countries argued in the Oval Office. While meeting Friday in the Oval Office, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President Donald Trump and Vance got into a heated argument in front of the press. The Ukrainian president openly criticized the U.S. for not stopping Russian President Vladimir Putin. The argument led to Trump cancelling the planned joint press conference, kicking the world leader out of the White House, with no minerals deal signed. Vance sat down with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on Monday to detail what went down and the U.S.’ conditions for moving forward with Zelenskyy...

Trump tariffs take effect: What to know

By Daniella Genovese  | Fox Business President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico and an additional levy on China on Tuesday, escalating tensions with key trading partners.  The U.S. began imposing a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico Tuesday, and an additional 10% levy on Chinese imports as Trump looks to curtail drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Earlier this year, the administration delayed these tariffs to allow Canada and Mexico time to negotiate trade deals aimed at addressing U.S. border security and halting the flow of drugs like fentanyl.

Israel says it will only extend Gaza cease-fire deal if hostage deal passed

By Reuters via The New York Post Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said Tuesday Israel was ready to proceed to the second phase of the Gaza cease-fire deal, as long as Hamas was ready to release more of the 59 hostages it is still holding. Fighting in Gaza has been halted since January 19 under a truce arranged with US support and Qatari and Egyptian mediators, and Hamas has exchanged 33 Israeli hostages and five Thais for some 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees. But the initial 42-day truce has expired and Hamas and Israel, which has blocked the entry of aid trucks into Gaza, remain far apart on broader issues including the postwar governance of Gaza and the future of Hamas itself.

Clarence Thomas scolds SCOTUS over ‘refusal to intervene’ on free speech case

By Katelynn Richardson | Daily Caller Justice Clarence Thomas wrote Monday that the Supreme Court should not let “confusion persist” regarding students’ free speech rights on university campuses. The Supreme Court declined Monday to hear a case questioning whether “bias response teams” on university campuses chill students’ free speech rights, though Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito would have taken the case. Over 450 colleges and universities nationwide have “bias response teams” that encourage students to report incidents of bias committed by their peers to school officials, Thomas noted in a dissent.

Zelensky says ‘End of War with Russia is very, very far away’

By AP via Breitbart A deal to end the war between Ukraine and Russia “is still very, very far away,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, adding that he expects to keep receiving American support despite his recent fraught relations with U.S. President Donald Trump. “I think our relationship (with the U.S.) will continue, because it’s more than an occasional relationship,” Zelenskyy said late Sunday, referring to Washington’s support for the past three years of war. “I believe that Ukraine has a strong enough partnership with the United States of America” to keep aid flowing, he said at a briefing in Ukrainian before leaving London.

Marco Rubio can’t say ‘peace is possible’ between Ukraine and Russia

By Jenny Goldsberry | Washington Examiner Secretary of State Marco Rubio mocked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky‘s demands for security guarantees when peace with Russia is still not guaranteed. Ukraine just passed its third-year anniversary since Russia invaded and war broke out. While Zelensky has maintained control of its capital, Kyiv, Russian President Vladimir Putin claims to have annexed Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhya, and Kherson regions in the south and east of Ukraine since September 2022. Rubio explained that speaking to Putin, after not a single European ally or former President Joe Biden was able to, is the way to end the war. “No one here is claiming Vladimir Putin is going to get the Nobel Peace Prize this year or that he should b...

Bondi says she was misled on Epstein documents

By Elizabeth Crisp | The Hill Attorney General Pam Bondi was duped into thinking she had all the files related to investigations into disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, she told Fox News host Mark Levin over the weekend while defending Thursday’s widely mocked document dump. “I kept saying, there has to be more. There has to be more,” Bondi said Saturday. “I was assured that’s it.” Epstein, who hobnobbed with celebrities, royalty and other powerful people, died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
