Trump delivered an more than 80-minute speech at the Kennedy Center touching on a range of priorities. Trump called on Republicans to double down on messaging successes in his first year back in office and aggressively push wins in areas like healthcare. Trump's remarks come as Congress stares down a full plate of legislative priorities to begin the year. Trump encouraged Republicans to make healthcare their issue, seeking to strip Democrats of heavy messaging on topics like Medicaid and Obamacare. Trump dedicated portions of his speech to Doug LaMalfa after the congressman's shocking death. | Check out all the latest developments and more below! | | | | | 🛢️ Trump Announces Venezuela Turning Over Oil to U.S.
President Trump announced Venezuela will turn over between 30 million and 50 million barrels of high-quality sanctioned oil to the U.S. government. Trump said the oil will be sold at market price, worth roughly $2.8 billion, and the money will be controlled by him to ensure it benefits both countries. Energy Secretary Chris Wright has been directed to execute the plan immediately using storage ships to transport oil directly to U.S. unloading docks. The move comes after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro on Saturday following a month-long pressure campaign. Trump plans to meet with U.S. oil company executives Friday to discuss making significant investments in Venezuela's broken oil infrastructure. | ✈️ Trump Expands Visa Bond Requirement to 38 Countries
The Trump administration dramatically expanded its visa bond policy requiring foreign travelers to post bonds of up to $15,000 before entering the United States. The State Department added 25 countries to the visa bond list Tuesday, nearly tripling the total after adding seven more just days earlier. The 38 countries now subject to the requirement are mostly in Africa with others in Latin America and Asia including Venezuela and Cuba. Travelers eligible for B1/B2 visas from listed countries must post a bond of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 with the amount set during visa interviews. The expanded policy, taking effect January 21, follows a pilot program launched in August targeting countries with high overstay rates and deficient document security controls. | 📅 Trump Torches Democrats' Jan 6 'Gaslighting' Claims
The White House launched a new website detailing the events of the January 6 breach of the U.S. Capitol, taking aim at Democrat lawmakers for promoting a "gaslighting narrative" to silence political opponents. The website states Democrats "masterfully reversed reality after January 6, branding peaceful patriotic protesters as 'insurrectionists' and framing the event as a violent coup attempt orchestrated by Trump." The site argues Pelosi's security lapses invited chaos Democrats later exploited to seize and consolidate power, allowing them to persecute innocent Americans and silence opposition. The White House page claims President Trump corrected a historic wrong by freeing Americans who were unjustly punished and restoring fairness under the law. The site features images of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and members of the select committee that probed January 6. | ⚖️ Trump Urges GOP to be 'Flexible' on Hyde Amendment
President Trump told House Republicans they should be "flexible" on the Hyde Amendment, the long-standing policy barring most federal funding for abortion, sparking immediate backlash from conservative groups. Trump said Republicans need to show flexibility on Hyde to make healthcare their winning issue ahead of the midterm elections. Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser called Trump's suggestion an "abandonment" of a decades-long Republican commitment, warning that abandoning Hyde would ensure GOP losses in November. Senator James Lankford said he's "not flexible on the value of every child's life" while Senator Roger Marshall told reporters he remains "unapologetically pro-life." Trump's comments come as a bipartisan group of senators negotiates a possible deal to revive Obamacare enhanced subsidies that expired at the end of 2025. |

| | | | | | 🔔 Trump Rallies GOP at Kennedy Center 🔔 | President Trump delivered an 80-minute address to House Republicans at the Kennedy Center, outlining his vision for the consequential midterm year ahead and urging the party to unify behind his agenda. Trump opened by mourning the sudden loss of Congressman Doug LaMalfa, who passed away Monday evening after emergency surgery at Enloe Hospital in California. LaMalfa, 65, represented California's 1st Congressional District since 2013 as a fourth-generation rice farmer and chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus. Trump praised LaMalfa as a fierce champion on California water issues and defender of American children who voted with the administration 100% of the time. The congressman's death, along with Marjorie Taylor Greene's resignation, narrowed the GOP's already razor-thin House majority to 218-213 with no margin for error on party-line votes. | Trump pressed Republicans to seize healthcare as a winning issue by passing legislation that gives government subsidies directly to consumers instead of insurance companies. He framed healthcare as the only issue Democrats have to campaign on and argued they're "lousy at it," telling GOP lawmakers to take the issue away by letting money go directly to people so they can buy their own coverage. | Trump called on Republicans to use ingenuity and flexibility, particularly regarding the Hyde Amendment, to craft healthcare solutions that will resonate with voters. The expanded Affordable Care Act subsidies expired December 31, hitting 22 million Americans with skyrocketing premiums and creating political pressure on Republicans to act. Trump insisted this healthcare reform, combined with achievements on drug pricing through his most favored nations policy, should be enough for the GOP to win the midterms. | | The president pitched mandatory cognitive tests for all presidents and vice presidents, questioning whether former Vice President Kamala Harris, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, or California Governor Gavin Newsom could pass such exams. Trump, who recently claimed he "aced" his third cognitive examination with a perfect score, said competency tests should be required to prevent "stupid" or "incompetent people" from leading the country. He directed particular criticism at Newsom, saying "he's got a good line of crap, but other than that he couldn't pass," before launching into accusations about California's water management and fire policies. Newsom quickly fired back on social media, challenging Trump to name a time and place for them to take cognitive tests together. Harris and Walz spokespeople did not respond to requests for comment. | Trump celebrated the administration's capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, calling it proof that America has the most powerful, most lethal, and most sophisticated military on the planet. He told lawmakers nobody else could have pulled off the dramatic weekend raid that hauled Maduro and his wife to New York to face criminal drug charges. Trump announced Venezuela will turn over 30 to 50 million barrels of sanctioned oil to the U.S., worth up to $2.8 billion, with proceeds controlled by the president to benefit both countries. The administration plans meetings with major U.S. oil companies to discuss investing billions in fixing Venezuela's badly broken infrastructure. Trump said the U.S. will run Venezuela's oil operations, repair them, and hold elections at the right time. | Trump warned Republicans they must win the midterms because Democrats will find a reason to impeach him if they retake control of Congress. He expressed frustration with historical trends showing presidents typically lose seats in midterm elections, asking lawmakers "what the hell's going on with the mind of the public" when it comes to these patterns. Trump urged Republicans to promote their sweeping tax and spending cuts law more enthusiastically and talk up the administration's drug pricing efforts, insisting the initiatives have given them "so much ammunition" for campaign messaging. He stressed that Republicans need to stay together and use the "good nuggets" from his first year to craft a winning message for voters. The president acknowledged the party's weak political position with their threadbare House majority, telling lawmakers "you can't be tough when you have a majority of three, and now, sadly, a little bit less than that." | | | | | 🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟 | 🏨 The Hampton Inn Lakeville in Minnesota was removed from the approved federal lodging list after hotel staff refused to accommodate ICE agents conducting immigration enforcement operations. DHS posted emails showing the hotel canceled reservations for ICE and immigration agents, prompting the General Services Administration to terminate the property from government booking tools. Hilton Hotels announced it would remove the independently-owned franchise from its system after an undercover video showed an employee continuing to refuse service to DHS agents despite the hotel's initial apology. | 🕺 President Trump revealed First Lady Melania Trump "hates" when he does his signature YMCA dance moves at rallies, telling him "it's so unpresidential." Trump said Melania also dislikes when he impersonates weightlifters during speeches about transgender athletes, quoting her as saying "the weightlifting is terrible." Trump defended his dancing by saying supporters scream for him to dance, adding "I did become president" when Melania told him it's unpresidential, and he capped off his Kennedy Center speech by dancing offstage anyway. | 🗳️ Georgia called a special election for March 10 to fill Marjorie Taylor Greene's House seat after her resignation following a public rupture with President Trump. Greene resigned effective January 5 after Trump withdrew his endorsement in November, calling her a "ranting lunatic" and nicknaming her "Wacky Marjorie." Trump responded to her resignation by dubbing her "Marjorie 'Traitor' Brown" and claiming she quit because of plummeting poll numbers and fear of facing a Trump-endorsed primary challenger. | ⚰️ Congressman Doug LaMalfa's death further shrinks the Republican House majority at a critical time ahead of midterm elections. LaMalfa, 65, died during emergency surgery Monday night after 911 responders were called to his California residence for a medical emergency. California Governor Gavin Newsom has 14 days to announce a special election to replace LaMalfa, though the seat is one of five GOP-held districts redrawn under California's Proposition 50 to favor Democrats in the midterms. | 🎭 Comedian Conan O'Brien criticized fellow comics who constantly say "F Trump" instead of focusing on comedy, arguing they've been "co-opted by anger" and are "just screaming." O'Brien said comedians who resort to attacking Trump have "put down your best weapon, which is being funny, and you've exchanged it for anger." He argued good art should be a weapon against power, but "if you're just screaming and you're just angry, you've lost your best tool in the toolbox." | God bless,
