Check out all the latest developments and more below! | | | | | ✈️ Trump's Air Force One Returns to Base Air Force One returned to Joint Base Andrews approximately 45 minutes after departing at 10:20 PM with President Trump aboard, following a minor electrical issue that briefly caused lights in the press cabin to go out. The crew opted to return out of an abundance of caution, and Trump switched to a backup aircraft before departing after midnight for his trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos. The incident caused no injuries and Trump proceeded with his scheduled international travel. The White House characterized the issue as minor and routine, with safety protocols working as designed. Trump's determination to reach Davos despite the delay showcased his commitment to engaging with world leaders on critical issues including trade, defense spending, and territorial priorities. | π️ Trump Restores Mental Institutions and Asylums President Trump revealed he signed an executive order to bring back mental institutions and insane asylums, declaring the need to "get the people off the streets." Trump recalled growing up in Queens and seeing Creedmoor, a facility with bars on the windows where his mother explained "people that are very sick are in that building." The president blamed Democrats in New York for dismantling these facilities, forcing mentally ill individuals onto the streets and contributing to homelessness crises in California and other states. Trump acknowledged the high cost of operating such institutions but insisted they are necessary to address the public safety and humanitarian crisis. The executive order marks a return to institutional mental health care after decades of deinstitutionalization policies. | π️ Trump Directs ICE to Publicize Criminal Alien Arrests President Trump called on the Department of Homeland Security and ICE to dramatically increase publicity around arrests of illegal immigrants with criminal records, declaring the operations are "saving many innocent lives." DHS Secretary Kristi Noem revealed over 10,000 criminal illegal aliens have been arrested in the Minneapolis area alone, including murderers, rapists, child predators, and dangerous gang members. Trump posted on Truth Social demanding agencies "show the numbers, names, and faces of the violent criminals" to counter what he called "highly paid troublemakers, anarchists, and agitators" protesting enforcement actions. The directive came after anti-ICE activists stormed a St. Paul church chanting "Justice for Renee Good," prompting Trump to label them paid professionals who "should be thrown in jail, or thrown out of the country." ICE responded by posting video of arrests in Minnesota, including Samuel Eduardo Arevalo-Hernandez, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala charged with sexual penetration of minors ages 14 and 15 whose detainer was allegedly ignored by local authorities. | π° Trump Blocks Wall Street from Buying Single-Family Homes President Trump signed a sweeping executive order Tuesday directing federal agencies to prevent large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes that could otherwise go to American families. The order instructs Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to develop definitions of "large institutional investor" and "single-family home" within 30 days, while cabinet members must issue guidance within 60 days to stop federal programs from facilitating these purchases. Trump declared that "hardworking young families cannot effectively compete for starter homes with Wall Street firms and their vast resources," adding that "people live in homes, not corporations." The Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission are directed to review substantial acquisitions by institutional investors and prioritize antitrust enforcement against coordinated vacancy and pricing strategies in local rental markets. The executive order also calls for legislative recommendations to permanently codify the policy, with Trump framing the action as stopping Wall Street from "treating America's neighborhoods like a trading floor." |

| | | | | | π Trump Marks First Year Anniversary with Press Briefingπ | Trump held a nearly two-hour White House press briefing marking the one-year anniversary of his second inauguration. The president started the briefing at 1:48 p.m. Eastern and left the podium at 3:33 p.m. in a jam-packed James S. Brady Press Briefing Room. He touted a book filled with accomplishments his administration has produced, telling reporters these represent more achievements than any other administration has completed in terms of military, ending wars, and completing wars. Trump displayed flyers featuring pictures of individuals taken into custody in Minnesota, stating ICE agents are apprehending murderers, drug dealers, and a lot of bad people. He characterized these individuals as rough characters who are all criminal illegal aliens, with many being murderers and drug lords. The president emphasized that Minnesota's crime is incredible and financial crimes are incredible. | Trump stated that for the first time in 50 years, more illegal immigrants are now leaving the country than entering it, attributing this trend to tougher border enforcement he calls reverse migration. He claimed criminal illegal aliens are so violent they make the Hells Angels look like the sweetest people on Earth, adding that these criminals make American criminals look like babies. The president said some of those being removed came from foreign prisons, including prisons in Congo, describing them as some of the toughest, meanest people you'll ever meet who were allowed to come into America under the previous administration. He noted that Hells Angels Motorcycle Club members are now considered nice, high-quality people, mentioning he likes them because they voted for and protected him. | Trump highlighted what his administration has done with growth is incredible, stating America is booming with super-high economic growth. The Atlanta Fed forecasts GDP to grow 5.3 percent in the fourth quarter of Fiscal Year 2025, after a strong third quarter when the economy grew 4.3 percent. Trump said fourth quarter GDP is on track to pass perhaps much more than 5 percent growth despite a Democrat shutdown that would have cost 1 percent to 1.5 percent off fourth-quarter GDP. He spotlighted $18 trillion in investment commitments he has secured for the United States since his inauguration and noted how his tariff policies helped save a Ford plant in Dearborn, Michigan, which he visited last Tuesday. The president explained tariffs also helped broker most-favored nation prescription drug deals that are slashing drug prices by as much as 300, 400, 500, and even 600 percent, calling this potentially the biggest thing of all. | Trump addressed the death of Renee Good during a confrontation with an ICE agent, calling it a tragedy and a horrible thing that everyone would agree was terrible. The president revealed that Good's parents, particularly her father, were tremendous Trump fans, saying he hopes the father still feels that way despite this hard situation. When asked how far he is willing to go to acquire Greenland, Trump responded by saying you'll find out, having earlier shared a message he received from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte who told him he is committed to finding a way forward on Greenland. The president defended law enforcement officers amid deportation efforts, acknowledging that ICE is going to make mistakes sometimes or be too rough with somebody because they're dealing with rough people. | | |  | Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance with their daughter Mirabel Vance. |
| | π Quick Bite News π | π️ The Trump administration requested redactions to a Heritage Foundation report modeling a U.S.-China war over Taiwan, despite the analysis relying entirely on publicly available unclassified data. The report, codenamed TIDALWAVE, warns the United States could reach a breaking point within weeks of high-intensity conflict with China, suffering catastrophic losses to aircraft and sustainment infrastructure while failing to prevent a global economic shock estimated at roughly $10 trillion. Authors say senior national security officials sought redactions over concerns adversaries could exploit the findings or use them to identify U.S. and allied military vulnerabilities. | ⚖️ The Supreme Court appeared poised Tuesday to strike down Hawaii's "vampire rule" that requires concealed carry permit holders to obtain permission before bringing firearms onto private property open to the public. Conservative justices suggested the restriction violates the Second Amendment, with Justice Samuel Alito telling Hawaii's lawyer the state is "regulating the Second Amendment to second-class status." Hawaii and four other states - California, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York - have imposed similar default rules prohibiting guns on private property without explicit owner consent, but the remaining 45 states allow licensed carriers to bring firearms onto such property. | π¬ President Trump defended sharing private text messages from French President Emmanuel Macron and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Truth Social, saying the exchanges "made my point." The posted screenshots showed both leaders addressing Trump warmly as "my friend" and "dear Donald," with Macron offering to convene a G7 meeting in Paris and Rutte pledging to highlight Trump's work in Syria, Gaza, and Ukraine during media engagements in Davos. Both messages expressed commitment to finding a path forward on Greenland despite Macron writing he did not understand Trump's approach to the issue. | πΆ Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance announced they are expecting their fourth child, a boy due in late July. The couple expressed gratitude for military doctors caring for their family and staff members helping them "serve the country while enjoying a wonderful life with our children." This marks a historic first, as Usha Vance will be the first sitting Second Lady to give birth while her husband serves as Vice President. | ✈️ President Trump is seeking to hold a signing ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos for his Gaza Board of Peace, with dozens of countries invited to become founding members starting this past weekend. The invitation requires a $1 billion permanent membership fee, prompting concerns from European allies who are seeking to adjust the proposal and organize a joint response. Multiple countries including Israel, Egypt, Azerbaijan, Kosovo, the United Arab Emirates, Belarus, Morocco, Hungary, and Canada have announced acceptance, though France, the UK, Sweden, Netherlands, Germany, and Canada are reportedly choosing not to participate in Thursday's planned ceremony. | God bless,
