| | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 🚀 Trump launched airstrikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen. President Trump ordered military action against Houthi terrorists in Yemen on Saturday, declaring that "hell will rain down" on them if attacks on shipping vessels don't stop immediately. The decisive move comes after more than a year of shipping disruptions through the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, with Trump criticizing the Biden administration's previous response as "pathetically weak." Despite the president's newfound reputation as a peacemaker, he appears unhesitant in using US military power to wipe out terrorists who disrupt the global economy. | 🔨 Trump dismantled seven federal agencies, including VOA. President Trump signed an executive order eliminating seven government offices, including Voice of America, which Trump has criticized for promoting biased content. Kari Lake, Trump's appointee to lead VOA, declared the agency "irretrievably broken" and "a national security risk" as employees received termination notices on Saturday. Though Lake, who spent decades in the news media, intended to turn the agency around, she and the president ultimately decided it was "not salvageable." | 📝 Trump rolled back over a dozen Biden-era executive orders. President Trump rescinded 18 executive actions signed by Biden, focusing on gender policies, labor standards, and industry regulations. The sweeping rollback included reversing Biden's $15 minimum wage for federal contractors and ending mandates for electric heat pumps and solar panels, bringing Trump's total reversals to nearly 100 in just two months. This rapid dismantling of his predecessor's agenda suggests Trump learned from his first term about quickly leveraging executive power. | 👀 New revelations detail how Biden suffocated Harris to protect his legacy. A forthcoming book by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes details how President Biden privately demanded Harris maintain "no daylight" between their policy positions, severely limiting her ability to forge her own agenda. Even on the day of her debate with Trump, Biden called with a reminder — "No daylight, kid" — effectively forcing Harris to defend his unpopular record rather than establish her own vision. The revelation helps explain Harris' failure to distinguish herself from Biden and reveals his determination to protect his legacy at all costs. |

| | | EDITOR'S NOTE | Trump vs. Venezuelan gang members | Good morning. Quietly, last Friday night, President Trump signed an executive order to deport 250 alleged Tren de Aragua gang members. Within hours, the left-wing ACLU filed a lawsuit, and a judge ordered the administration to halt the deportations. | But the flights were already in mid-air. | The administration ignored the court's ruling — arguing that since the flights were already international, the judge had no authority. The gang members were removed from America and dropped straight into El Salvador's mega-prison. | The liberal judges tried to save Venezuelan gangs from deportation — and failed. Now, the case is likely headed to the Supreme Court. | It won't be pretty for anyone trying to defend illegal criminals. | |

| | | THE MAIN STORY | "We will expel the rogue actors and corrupt forces": Trump confronts the DOJ | | WHAT'S HAPPENING_ | President Donald Trump, during a speech at the Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday, condemned the Biden administration's lawfare, accusing it of corrupting the DOJ and FBI. He pledged to restore these agencies to their former respected status and promised full accountability for those involved in any abuses of power that occurred. Trump focused heavily on the alleged disinformation campaigns against him, including the discredited Russian collusion hoax and the controversial FBI raids against his campaign. | | _THE FACTS_ | President Trump mentioned the legal campaigns undertaken against him after former Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed special counsel Jack Smith to investigate his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and his handling of classified materials at Mar-a-Lago. Trump remarked that the Biden administration "tried to turn America into a corrupt communist and third-world country, but in the end, the thugs failed, and the truth won." He specifically mentioned the 51 intelligence agents who falsely claimed that Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian plot, calling it a "big lie." Trump vowed to expel rogue actors from the DOJ, restore transparency, and hold those responsible for past wrongdoings accountable: "We must be honest about the lies and abuses that have occurred within these walls … a corrupt group of hacks & radicals obliterated the trust and goodwill built up over generations." He highlighted how the DOJ had harassed pro-life activists, traditional Catholics, and school board meeting parents, while protecting violent criminals. The president firmly declared his intent to clean up the DOJ: "Our predecessors turned the Department of Justice into the Department of injustice. But I stand before you today to declare that those days are over — and they are never going to come back."
