Check out all the latest developments and more below! | | | | | 🔥 Trump Warns Minneapolis Mayor
Trump warned Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey that he is "playing with fire" after Frey publicly declared that Minneapolis does not and will not enforce federal immigration laws following a meeting with border czar Tom Homan. Trump's rebuke came in a Truth Social post asking if someone in Frey's "inner sanctum" could explain that this statement is a very serious violation of the law, despite Trump saying just a day earlier he had "a very good conversation" with the mayor. Frey responded by defending his position, saying the job of Minneapolis police is to keep people safe and not enforce federal immigration laws, adding that he wants them preventing homicides rather than hunting down working immigrants who contribute to the city. Vice President Vance took a swipe at the mayor, asking if federal law enforcement should feel safe calling 911 in Minneapolis since Frey told local police not to help them. Courts have repeatedly ruled that the federal government cannot force states and cities to enforce its immigration laws, with the Supreme Court's 1997 Printz v. United States ruling establishing that states retain residuary sovereignty and cannot be compelled to carry out federal enforcement operations. | 🗳️ Trump Returns to Iowa for Midterms
Trump delivered his first midterm election campaign speech of the year in Iowa, with GOP gubernatorial frontrunner Rep. Randy Feenstra saying the president will return to the state for the 250th anniversary celebration at the state fair roughly three months before the November elections. Trump warned the crowd that if Republicans lose the midterms, they will lose many of the tax cuts and other accomplishments he's been talking about, adding "we've got to win the midterms" and noting he was there because he loves Iowa but also to start the campaign. Feenstra, who traveled with Trump along with Reps. Zach Nunn and Ashley Hinson, said Trump's presence will "absolutely" benefit Republicans despite historical trends showing the president's party normally suffers setbacks during midterm elections two years after power changes hands. Trump visited the Machine Shed restaurant where everyday Iowa voters wanted their hats and napkins signed, with one gentleman asking Trump to pray with him and the two praying together in what Feenstra described as "the Iowa way of life." White House chief of staff Susie Wiles said Trump plans to make repeated campaign appearances and will mobilize his supporters by campaigning as if he's once again up for re-election, marking a big change from his first term when he didn't start his campaign travel blitz until Labor Day. | 📺 Trump Calls Out ABC News as Fake News
Trump called ABC News "fake news" and dismissed ABC News senior political correspondent Rachel Scott when she attempted to ask about the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by federal agents in Minneapolis, saying "by the way, this is ABC Fake News, this one" and adding "she hasn't asked me a good question in years." Scott had begun to ask about members of Trump's administration labeling Pretti a "domestic terrorist" before Trump cut her off, with the president's comments drawing cheers from the crowd of supporters at the Machine Shed restaurant in Urbandale, Iowa. Trump then circled back to the Minneapolis situation, calling it a "very unfortunate incident" and saying he didn't like that Pretti had a gun with two fully loaded magazines, adding "that's a lot of bad stuff." The exchange came as White House officials were distancing Trump from the provocative statements made by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, who had quickly accused Pretti of domestic terrorism without citing any evidence. Trump's clash with ABC came months after a separate confrontation with the network when he suggested the Federal Communications Commission should revoke ABC's broadcast license, saying "I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake." | 🤝 Trump Dispatches Homan to Minnesota
Trump announced he is dispatching border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota to take over ICE operations, bypassing the normal chain of command where Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino had been overseeing enforcement efforts in Minneapolis. Trump wrote on social media that Homan "has not been involved in that area, but knows and likes many of the people there" and is "tough but fair" and will report directly to the president. . Trump told reporters he wanted to "de-escalate a little bit" in Minnesota and said the hardest work had already been done with thousands of criminals removed from the state, describing Homan's mission as going "very nicely." Customs and Border Protection Commander Greg Bovino is set to leave Minneapolis to return to El Centro, California, to resume his duties as chief of that sector, with sources describing a frosty relationship between Noem and Homan that existed prior to the Minneapolis shootings. |

| | 🔔 Trump Announces Launch of Trump Accounts 🔔 | Trump celebrated the launch of Trump Accounts at a star-studded event featuring Shark Tank's Kevin O'Leary, rapper Nicki Minaj, and several CEOs. Trump officially called on all employers across America to follow the lead of major companies and make matching Trump Account contributions to benefit American workers. Trump Accounts were included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act last year and are set to launch on July 4, 2026, with every American child born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028, receiving $1,000 from the U.S. Treasury. The accounts can be established by an authorized adult, including a parent, guardian, adult sibling or grandparent, as long as they have a valid Social Security number, though a Social Security number is not required to make contributions of up to $5,000 annually. Trump painted the accounts as an opportunity to ensure that Americans don't just end their lives with a nest egg, but instead all Americans will begin their lives with a nest egg, saying the program will give every newborn American child a financial stake in the future and a fair shot at the American dream. | Several major companies have already agreed to match contributions, with Bank of America announcing it will match the government's $1,000 contribution for all 165,000 U.S. employees whose children are born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028. Other companies are encouraging customers to make contributions, including Visa, which is building a platform that will allow credit card holders to deposit their cash back rewards directly into Trump Accounts. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Breitbart News that these accounts may end up being Trump's most "enduring" legacy item that will positively impact generations to come in this country. Bessent said the impact of these accounts will build generational wealth for every American child, noting that 38 percent of Americans have no exposure to the equity markets and describing this as a generation of disenchanted folks who aren't part of the great innovation economy. | At the event, Trump was joined on stage by billionaires Michael Dell and Kevin O'Leary, as well as rapper Nicki Minaj, who pledged between $150,000 and $300,000 to fund her fans' Trump accounts. Michael Dell and his wife Susan announced in December they will donate $6.25 billion into the investment accounts of 25 million children, amounting to $250 per child, for children residing in zip codes where the average annual income falls below $150,000. Trump announced at the event that investor Brad Gerstner pledged to donate $250 into Trump Accounts for every child under 5 in Indiana. After 18 years, the $1,000 seed investment for eligible Americans is projected to reach $5,800, while if families contribute the maximum annual amount of $5,000 in addition to the $1,000 seed investment, an account is estimated to reach $303,800 by the time a child turns 18. | Trump said with every modest contribution, Trump accounts should reach at least $50,000 in value by the time the child turns 18, and with slightly greater contributions, the typical account will grow to $100,000, $200,000 and can even grow up to past $300,000 per child. If families contribute a more modest $250 annually after the Treasury investment, an account is projected to hit $20,700 once a child reaches adulthood. By age 55, a child's account without any additional contributions will reach approximately $200,000, or $2.7 million with continued contributions. Once 18 years old, a person with a Trump Account is eligible to withdraw from it for qualified expenses like education, a first home purchase, or starting a business, or they can continue letting it grow, in which case it will be treated like an IRA. | The accounts won't be open for contributions until July 2026, but parents of eligible kids can sign up using Form 4547 from the Internal Revenue Service when filing taxes this year or when the administration opens an online portal this summer. Bessent said 600,000 families have already signed up for Trump accounts since the official start of tax season on Monday, with the Treasury expecting 25 million families to eventually sign up. Investor Brad Gerstner said at the event that Trump accounts make every child in America a capitalist from birth, describing it as the answer to more socialism. Trump said decades from now, Trump Accounts will be remembered as one of the most transformative policy innovations of all time, adding that from the standpoint of young Americans, they'll have a real start in life. A poll by Exclusive Public revealed that 57% of Americans have never heard of a Trump account and 25% are aware but unable to explain it, though awareness is expected to grow as the program launches. | | | | | 🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟 | 🎓 White House unveiled a new website and map showing which states have not opted into a federal school choice tax credit set to begin in 2027, singling out several Democratic governors branded as "failures" for resisting the program created under the One Big Beautiful Bill. The website encourages Americans to call their governors with the message that children in their states will not benefit from the tax credit unless their governors take action, with 23 states having opted in and 27 states declining participation. The program allows taxpayers to receive up to $1,700 in federal tax credits for donations to scholarship-granting organizations that provide funds for private school tuition, tutoring services, and other educational expenses. | 🔫 National Rifle Association pushed back against Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel over their claims that Alex Pretti was wrong to bring a firearm to the anti-ICE protest where he was killed, issuing a statement that the NRA unequivocally believes all law-abiding citizens have a right to keep and bear arms anywhere they have a legal right to be. Gun Owners of America also pushed back, writing that peaceful protests while armed isn't radical but American, adding the First and Second Amendments protect those rights and the organization will hold any administration accountable. | 🏈 Trump ripped Pro Football Hall of Fame voters for the "ridiculous" decision to snub Bill Belichick from first-ballot honor, somehow linking the decision to the NFL's revised kickoff rule by writing on Truth Social that both are ridiculous and should be overturned. Belichick failed to receive the 40 votes needed from the 50-person panel of media members and other Hall of Famers, with ESPN reporting that cheating scandals during his time with the Patriots played a role in some voters' decisions on his candidacy. | ⚖️ Trump warned that Democrats will "find something" to impeach him over if they take back the House in November, saying they impeached him twice before and are "very nasty people" with bad policy. Trump made similar comments at a House Republican retreat, telling lawmakers they have to win the midterms because if they don't, Democrats will find a reason to impeach him, adding that Republicans don't impeach Democrats because "they're meaner than we are." | ⛰️ Georgia State Rep. David Clark introduced a resolution to rename Sawnee Mountain to "Trump Mountain," calling Trump one of the most transformative presidents in the nation's history whose historic legacy of Making America Great Again deserves recognition. The proposal drew immediate backlash from Forsyth County officials who said they were not consulted about the resolution and would have opposed it, with County Manager David McKee saying the county remains committed to the historical importance of the Sawnee name honoring a celebrated Native American chief. | God bless,
