Happy Monday, Patriots,

President Trump meets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House today in what could be the most important sit-down of his second term.

The two leaders are set to hammer out details of Trump's 21-point Gaza peace plan, which calls for freeing hostages, dismantling Hamas, and opening humanitarian channels.

Trump told Americans there's a "real chance for greatness in the Middle East" if both sides hold firm—his strongest signal yet that a breakthrough could be close. Netanyahu echoed that hope, saying the time has come to "secure a new future" for Israelis, Gazans, and the region.

✅TRACKING TRUMP✅

Curated by Mike Luso

President Trump has authorized federal troops to deploy to Portland, directing them to safeguard ICE facilities and personnel from organized attacks by Antifa and other domestic terrorists. The situation in Chicago has grown equally tense, with federal agents deploying pepper balls and tear gas as anti-ICE protesters clash with law enforcement outside processing centers. Trump made it clear he's had enough of what he describes as "professional agitators and anarchists," authorizing full force if necessary to restore order.

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking toward a potential government shutdown, prompting the president to schedule a crucial meeting with congressional leaders today after previously canceling talks with Democrats over what he called their "unserious and ridiculous demands." With tensions running high on multiple issues, the administration continues pushing forward on numerous priorities while navigating an increasingly polarized political landscape.

Check out all the latest developments and more below!

🏛️ Trump Meets with Congress as Government Shutdown Looms
President Trump plans to meet with congressional leaders from both parties on Monday after canceling a previous meeting last week with Democrats, claiming they had "unserious and ridiculous demands." The meeting will include Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and Majority Leader John Thune, as a possible government shutdown looms before the deadline. Trump blasted Schumer and Jeffries in a lengthy Truth Social post for pushing "radical Left policies that nobody voted for" and argued their bill would allow nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts from his "Big, Beautiful Bill" to be repealed while ending his bill's $50 billion rural hospital fund. Democrats have accused Republicans of backing a "dirty" short-term extension with partisan policy riders and warned it continues "the Republican assault on healthcare" while ignoring expiring Affordable Care Act premium subsidies. Without congressional action, a government shutdown would begin at 12:01 a.m. ET on Wednesday, with House Speaker Johnson saying he encouraged Trump to cancel the previous meeting until Democrats "do the basic governing work of keeping the government open."

⚖️ Trump Presses Supreme Court on Birthright Citizenship
The Trump administration filed a petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review President Trump's executive order restricting birthright citizenship, with Solicitor General D. John Sauer arguing that the prevailing interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment is "mistaken" and has had "destructive consequences." Trump's order seeks to narrow birthright citizenship to children of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, potentially denying automatic citizenship to many children born in the U.S. each year, challenging the long-standing principle established in "United States v. Wong Kim Ark" from 1898. Supporters of the order argue that the phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" requires full and lawful political allegiance, not simply being born on U.S. soil, with advisor John Eastman claiming the Constitution requires both birth on U.S. soil and "complete" jurisdiction meaning allegiance to the U.S. Critics, including UC Berkeley law professor John Yoo, argue that the Framers borrowed British "jus soli" traditions and that Reconstruction lawmakers expanded citizenship to ensure formerly enslaved people were fully included, while ACLU attorneys call the order "an unlawful attempt to entrench racial hierarchies." The Supreme Court is expected to decide in coming weeks whether to hear the case, after multiple federal courts initially blocked the order with broad injunctions that the Supreme Court later narrowed.

🕊️ Trump Announces Gaza Deal Progress
President Trump said Friday that "I think we have a deal" on ending the Israel-Hamas war, telling reporters while departing the White House that "it's looking like we have a deal on Gaza" that will "get the hostages back" and "end the war." Trump later posted on Truth Social that the administration was having "very inspired and productive discussions with the Middle Eastern Community concerning Gaza," calling the negotiations "intense" but full of "Goodwill and Enthusiasm for getting a Deal done, after so many decades." The president unveiled a 21-point initiative to end the Gaza war during meetings with Arab leaders on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff summarizing the plan that includes "the return of all hostages living and deceased, no further attacks on Qatar, a new dialogue between Israel and Palestinians for peaceful coexistence and more." Foreign partners expressed broad agreement that President Trump was the only one who could end the fighting in Gaza and expressed hope to work with special envoy Witkoff on the president's plan, while Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas declared readiness to work with Trump, Saudi Arabia, France, the United Nations and other partners to implement the peace plan. Witkoff described a "very productive" meeting between Trump and officials from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia and Pakistan, saying the Trump 21-point plan "addresses Israeli concerns as well as concerns of neighbors in the region."

🌡️ Trump Officials Urged to Boycott UN Climate Summit
A coalition of seven conservative energy and environmental groups are calling on Trump administration leaders to boycott the upcoming United Nations Climate Change Conference in Brazil, arguing there is "nothing to be gained from participating in an anti-American international effort that is designed to cripple the U.S. energy system and economy." The letter, addressed to Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, and Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, claims the UN climate conferences "have accomplished nothing for the environment" but have only wasted taxpayer money while harming the U.S. through trillion-dollar Green New Deal policies, destroying the coal industry, and making America dependent on Chinese technology. Trump addressed the UN General Assembly and slammed climate change as "the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world," saying all predictions made by the United Nations "were wrong" and "were made by stupid people that have cost their country's fortunes." The groups argue that snubbing the conference would send a message "that the U.S. will no longer be a victim of the global climate scam" and suggest the White House should instead host a counter conference emphasizing economic prosperity and energy resilience for developing nations. American Energy Institute CEO Jason Isaac said it's time America "walked away from the U.N.'s endless climate conferences, which have never improved the environment but have impoverished billions while enriching China."

🔔 Trump Vows to Deploy Troops to Portland 🔔

President Trump has authorized the deployment of federal troops to Portland, Oregon, directing Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to provide "all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists." The president announced this action on Truth Social, emphasizing he was "authorizing Full Force, if necessary" at the request of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

The federal intervention comes amid months of violent protests that have targeted ICE facilities across multiple cities, with Portland emerging as a particularly volatile flashpoint. Anti-ICE demonstrations in Portland have escalated dramatically, with protesters displaying guillotines, lighting fires, and clashing with federal agents in what authorities describe as organized acts of political terrorism. Video footage from August shows protesters rolling out a guillotine and fighting with law enforcement, forcing authorities to disperse crowds with rubber bullets, tear gas, and flash bangs.

Trump has labeled the demonstrators as "crazy people" who are "trying to burn down buildings, including federal buildings," describing them as "professional agitators and anarchists." Vice President JD Vance characterized the Portland violence as organized terrorism, stating that "men in black ski masks" were committing acts of violence and shutting down government buildings. The administration has pointed to the assassination of Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk on September 10 as evidence of escalating extremist violence, with shell casings found at the scene bearing inscriptions referencing "Bella Ciao," a song idolized in Antifa circles.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson has strongly condemned the federal deployment, claiming the number of necessary troops is "zero" and that the president would "not find lawlessness or violence" in the city unless he plans to perpetrate it himself. Wilson dismissed video evidence of recent violence as footage from years ago that had been "recycled and then recycled again," arguing that Portland has reformed its public safety system since previous incidents.

However, the ICE facility in Portland has been vandalized with anti-ICE graffiti, and city officials have placed land use violation notices on the building, disputing how long detainees can be held there and citing violations for boarded-up windows. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter to Wilson in August, warning that Portland's sanctuary policies undermine U.S. interests and demanding the city affirm compliance with federal law.

The violence has not been limited to Portland, as Chicago has emerged as another center of anti-ICE resistance. Federal law enforcement agents deployed pepper balls and tear gas during a confrontation with at least 50 protesters outside an ICE processing center in Broadview, Illinois, a Chicago suburb. Two protesters were arrested, including one carrying a firearm, as demonstrators attempted to block vehicles from leaving the facility.

The Chicago-area violence escalated further when rioters threw tear gas cans, rocks, bottles, and fireworks at law enforcement, slashed car tires, blocked building entrances, and trespassed on private property. The Department of Homeland Security reported that 16 arrests were made during violent clashes, with rioters also assaulting law enforcement officials during what was described as organized obstruction of federal operations.

These confrontations occurred just two days after a deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas, where a gunman killed one detainee and injured two others before taking his own life. The Department of Homeland Security has directly linked such incidents to what it calls "hateful anti-ICE rhetoric" from sanctuary politicians who have "demonized federal law enforcement as the enemy" and placed targets on ICE agents.

The administration's immigration enforcement has also yielded surprising discoveries, including the arrest of Des Moines Public Schools Superintendent Ian Roberts, who authorities say was in the country illegally from Guyana with a final order of removal from a judge. Roberts, who earned more than $300,000 annually, was found with a loaded weapon after fleeing from ICE agents and abandoning his car in the woods before being apprehended by Iowa State Patrol.

The Roberts case has sparked widespread social media reaction, with many questioning how someone without legal work authorization and facing a removal order could attain such a high-profile position in public education. ICE officials described the situation as "beyond comprehension" and called it a wake-up call about public safety threats in American communities.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek and Portland's mayor have both challenged the federal deployment, with Kotek stating there is "no national security threat in Portland" and that communities are "safe and calm." The governor requested more information from the White House and Homeland Security about the military mission's purpose and scope.

Portland has maintained its sanctuary city status since 2017, largely refusing to comply with federal immigration enforcement activities, which has made it a focal point during Trump's immigration crackdown. The city's resistance mirrors broader tensions between the federal government and blue cities that have implemented sanctuary policies to protect undocumented immigrants from deportation.

Trump's authorization of military force represents a significant escalation in the federal response to anti-ICE violence, signaling the administration's determination to protect federal facilities and personnel despite local political opposition. The president's willingness to deploy troops against domestic protests marks a defining moment in the ongoing conflict between federal immigration enforcement and sanctuary city resistance.

🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟

✈️ President Trump announced Friday he will declassify files related to Amelia Earhart, the aviation pioneer who disappeared nearly 90 years ago during her attempt to fly around the globe. In a Truth Social post, Trump said he was ordering his administration to declassify and release "all government records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her," calling her an "aviation pioneer, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean." The announcement came after a Northern Mariana Islands' delegate to the House of Representatives, wrote to Trump in July asking him to declassify documents related to Earhart, stating that such records could "finally shed light on the final chapter of her remarkable life."

⚖️ The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday extended an earlier order allowing the Trump administration to continue blocking nearly $5 billion in congressionally appropriated foreign funds, ruling 6 to 3 with the three liberal justices dissenting. President Trump used a pocket rescission last month, the first use of this mechanism in 50 years, which allows a president to submit a request to Congress to hold approved funds near the end of the fiscal year, with congressional inaction allowing the White House not to spend the money if the budget year ends before the 45-day approval window closes. The administration called the funds, which would have been used for United Nations peacekeeping efforts and promoting democracy in other countries, "contrary to U.S. foreign policy," while Justice Elena Kagan argued in her dissent that the effect would prevent funds from reaching their intended recipients "for all time."

⚖️ President Trump told reporters Friday that the indictment against former FBI Director James Comey is about pursuing justice and not political payback, saying "It's about justice really, it's not revenge" and calling Comey "a dirty cop" who "got caught lying." Trump argued that Comey gave a strong but false answer under oath and could have hedged or said he didn't remember, but instead gave a very specific response and "verified it numerous times" before getting caught. Comey was indicted by a grand jury on two counts related to allegedly lying to Congress during his testimony about his handling of the original Trump-Russia investigation, with his arraignment scheduled for October 9 before a Biden-appointed judge.

🇺🇸 Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó says that Hungary and the U.S. are experiencing a "golden age" in their relationship under President Trump, contrasting this with the "very hostile approach by the Democrat administration" when "Hungarians were considered as enemies." Hungary is poised to follow the U.S. in declaring Antifa a terrorist organization, with Szijjártó saying this move shows how "the current Trump administration and the government of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán are close to each other when it comes to major political issues." The Hungarian official also praised Trump's approach to NATO, stating that Hungary agrees with Trump's push for allies to increase their defense spending as a share of GDP and described Trump as "the only hope to make peace" in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
