The president condemned what he described as a growing pattern of agitation, obstruction, and violence encouraged by left-wing activists targeting ICE and police nationwide. | "These incidents are happening because the Radical Left is threatening and assaulting our law enforcement officers every day," Trump said, vowing continued support for agents "just trying to do the job of making America safe." | As tensions rise, Trump made his position clear: law enforcement will be protected — not abandoned. | Catch up on all of today's must-see Trump headlines! | —Nick | In today's email: 🔔 Trump Responds to Minneapolis Attack 🔍 Trump Demands $10 Billion Funding Freeze for California 🛢️ Trump Admin to Control Venezuelan Oil Sales Indefinitely 🌐 Trump Withdraws US from 66 International Organizations 🇨🇴 Trump and Colombian President Arrange White House Meeting | | | | | ✅TRACKING TRUMP✅ | Curated by Mike Luso | An ICE agent fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis, and President Trump has said described the action as self-defense while calling out the radical left for targeting law enforcement. The shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good sparked immediate controversy, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey furiously rejecting federal claims and demanding ICE agents leave the city. Trump posted on Truth Social that the woman "violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer" and accused the left of "threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis." Democrats and local officials have seized on the opportunity to escalate their attacks on the Trump's immigration enforcement operations. | Check out all the latest developments and more below! | | | | | 🔍 Trump Demands $10 Billion Funding Freeze for California The Trump administration paused more than $10 billion in federal funding to California and four other Democrat-led states over concerns of widespread fraud in social service programs, while demanding California hand over lists of recipients who receive taxpayer funds. HHS will halt funding to the Child Care Development Fund ($2.4 billion), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families ($7.3 billion), and Social Services Block Grant ($869 million) in California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York. Assistant Secretary Alex J. Adams wrote to Gov. Gavin Newsom that HHS "has reason to believe that the State of California is illicitly providing illegal aliens with CCDF benefits intended for American citizens and lawful permanent residents." Trump has not provided specific evidence of wide-scale fraud in California social services, and Newsom's office dismissed the accusations as "deranged," noting that California has blocked more than $125 billion in fraud. The funding freeze follows HHS freezing Minnesota's federal child care funding due to "blatant fraud" in public-assistance programs, where more than 90 people face federal charges in schemes prosecutors estimate could reach $9 billion. | 🛢️Trump Admin to Control Venezuelan Oil Sales Indefinitely Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced the Trump administration will oversee the sale of Venezuelan oil and control the proceeds indefinitely, initially marketing up to 50 million barrels worth $2.8 billion from storage, then selling all ongoing production. Wright told a Goldman Sachs conference in Miami that the U.S. will sell Venezuelan crude to refineries and global markets while holding revenue in U.S. Treasury accounts, and will supply the diluent, parts, and equipment needed to stabilize and grow production. Venezuela holds 303 billion barrels of proven oil reserves but currently produces less than 1 million barrels per day due to corruption and mismanagement, down from 3.5 million barrels before the socialist regime. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the administration has "maximum leverage over the interim authorities in Venezuela" and made clear that "American dominance is going to continue." U.S. forces seized two Venezuela-linked vessels including a Russian-flagged ship in the Atlantic, and Trump is scheduled to meet with Chevron, ConocoPhillips, and Exxon executives Friday to discuss investments in Venezuela. | 🌐 Trump Withdraws US from 66 International Organizations President Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing the withdrawal of the United States from 66 international organizations, including 35 non-UN entities and 31 UN bodies that the administration determined operate contrary to U.S. interests. The 31 UN entities include UN Water, UN Oceans, UN Population Fund, UN Entity for Gender Equality, and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, while the 35 non-UN organizations include the Global Counterterrorism Forum and the International Solar Alliance. Trump withdrew the U.S. from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, making the United States the first country to withdraw from the bedrock global climate treaty ratified by the Senate in 1992. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said these institutions are "redundant in their scope, mismanaged, unnecessary, wasteful, poorly run, captured by the interests of actors advancing their own agendas contrary to our own, or a threat to our nation's sovereignty." The administration said many of these bodies promote radical climate policies and global governance that conflict with U.S. sovereignty, and American taxpayers have spent billions on these organizations with little return. | 🇨🇴 Trump and Colombian President Arrange White House Meeting President Trump said arrangements are being made for representatives of the United States and Colombia to meet at the White House after Colombian President Gustavo Petro called to discuss drugs and other disagreements between the two countries. The announcement came after Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that "Colombia's very sick too, run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States," and when asked if the U.S. would carry out a military operation in Colombia, Trump responded "it sounds good to me." Petro, a former member of the leftist M-19 guerrilla movement, responded by saying he would "take up arms" against the U.S. if it attacks his country, writing "for the Homeland I will take up arms again that I do not want." Petro dismissed Trump's drug trafficking claims, stating "I am not illegitimate, nor am I a narco" and noting his only asset is his family home that he still pays for with his salary. Trump wrote on Truth Social that he "appreciated his call and tone" and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Colombia's foreign minister are coordinating the White House meeting arrangements. |

| | | | | | 🔔 Trump Responds To Minneapolis Attack 🔔 | An ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good during an immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis, triggering fierce disputes between federal authorities and local officials over the circumstances of the shooting. | Federal officials claim Good attempted to ram her vehicle into ICE officers during targeted operations. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem characterized the incident as an act of "domestic terrorism," stating that Good "weaponized her vehicle" in an attempt to run over law enforcement officers. The ICE officer fired defensive shots after fearing for his life and the lives of fellow officers, according to federal accounts. Noem reported that over 100 vehicle rammings have occurred in recent weeks, with three happening in Minneapolis alone on the day of the shooting. The officer involved was hospitalized and has since been released after being hit by the vehicle. | Trump watched video of the shooting and concluded the officer acted in self-defense. He posted on Truth Social that Good was "very disorderly, obstructing and resisting" and then "violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer." The President blamed the entire incident on the radical left, writing that "these incidents are happening because the Radical Left is threatening, assaulting, and targeting our Law Enforcement Officers and ICE Agents on a daily basis." | Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rejected the self-defense narrative, calling it "bullshit" and declaring that the agent was "recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying, getting killed." At a press conference, Frey delivered a profanity-laced message to federal authorities, stating "Get the f**k out of Minneapolis. We do not want you here." He accused ICE of creating the exact opposite of safety and ripping apart families. Frey warned that ICE wants an excuse to create a military occupation and urged residents to respond with love rather than taking the bait. | Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara expressed concern about the shooting, noting that Good was sitting in her car blocking the street and was not the target of any enforcement activity. He said any professional law enforcement agency would find it concerning when there's a shooting into a vehicle of someone who is not armed. The FBI and Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension are jointly investigating whether any state laws were broken. | Witness accounts and video evidence became central to the dispute. Witnesses reported seeing federal agents approach Good's Honda Pilot, with an agent attempting to open the driver's side door before Good tried to drive off. Three shots were fired, and the vehicle traveled several more feet before crashing into another car. Video shared by Trump showed the shooting but did not clearly show an officer being run over, contradicting some federal claims. | Gov. Tim Walz called for ICE to leave Minneapolis, saying "we do not need any further help from the federal government." He activated the State Emergency Operations Center and put the National Guard on standby. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison criticized Trump's decision to send thousands of armed ICE agents to Minnesota, calling it a "causal factor" that is "causing serious harm and spreading terror throughout our communities." | Democrat officials amplified their criticism of the incident. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer said ICE agents "don't belong in our cities" and demanded an investigation. Rep. Ilhan Omar described the shooting as "state-sanctioned violence" that "tragically led to this murder." Rep. Pramila Jayapal and other progressive Democrats are exploring options to defund ICE and potentially impeach Secretary Noem. A Minneapolis City Councilmember suggested that ICE agents "could have just moved out of the way" of Good's car. The shooting occurred during what ICE officials describe as "the largest immigration enforcement operation ever" in Minneapolis, with more than 2,000 agents deployed to the Twin Cities. | | |  | Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. speaks during the daily briefing in the Brady Briefing Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on Jan. 7, 2026. |
| | 🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟 | 🥗 The Trump administration unveiled new dietary guidelines targeting ultra-processed foods while easing restrictions on red meat and saturated fats. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said "protein and healthy fats are essential, and were wrongly discouraged in prior dietary guidelines. We are ending the war on saturated fats." The updated food pyramid now places meat, fats, fruits, and vegetables at the top, with whole grains at the narrow bottom. | 💰 Trump called for raising the 2027 military budget from $1 trillion to $1.5 trillion, claiming tariff revenue makes the increase achievable. The president said the additional funds would build a "Dream Military," pay down debt, and provide a "substantial Dividend to moderate income Patriots within our Country." Trump attributed the feasibility to "tremendous income" from tariffs that "would have been unthinkable in the past." | 🇷🇺 Sen. Lindsey Graham announced Trump has approved a Russian sanctions bill that would impose a 500% tariff on all goods from any country purchasing Russian oil, petroleum products, or uranium. Graham said the legislation would give Trump "tremendous leverage against countries like China, India and Brazil to incentivize them to stop buying the cheap Russian oil that provides the financing for Putin's bloodbath against Ukraine." | 🇮🇷 Iranian protesters are displaying signs and graffiti in English asking Trump for protection, with messages reading "Trump, a symbol of peace, don't let them kill us." At least 29 deaths and 1,200 arrests have been reported in protests ignited by Iran's deteriorating economy. The regime attacked a hospital in Ilam where injured protesters were receiving treatment, and IRGC troops opened fire on demonstrators in Malekshahi. | 🇻🇪 White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Venezuela's future will be "dictated by the United States of America" as the Trump administration works with interim authorities following Maduro's capture. Leavitt emphasized that "we obviously have maximum leverage over the interim authorities in Venezuela right now" and that "American dominance is going to continue under this president." | God bless,
