She noted the Iranian regime's public statements differ significantly from private messages sent to the Trump administration. Trump posted Saturday that the United States stands ready to help as Iran looks at freedom like never before amid ongoing protests.

Meanwhile, Trump has branded himself as the "president" of Venezuela in a social media post Sunday night, sharing a doctored image resembling a Wikipedia page identifying him as "Acting President of Venezuela" since January 2026, after the U.S. conducted strikes in Venezuela and seized dictator Nicolás Maduro. | Check out all the latest developments and more below! | | | | | 🇻🇪 Trump Declares Himself Venezuela's Acting President
Trump branded himself as the president of Venezuela in a social media post Sunday night, after signaling that the U.S. would oversee Caracas for years. Trump shared a doctored image that looked like a Wikipedia page that identified him as Acting President of Venezuela since January 2026, after the U.S. conducted strikes in Venezuela and seized dictator Nicolás Maduro. Trump said the U.S. would run Venezuela until a safe transition could occur, and he told The New York Times he anticipated the U.S. would oversee Venezuela much longer than six months or a year. When asked whether the post was shared jokingly, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly told reporters that President Trump will be the greatest President for the American and Venezuelan people in history. | 🛡️ Trump Pledges to Uncover Leftist Groups Countering ICE
Trump announced he will uncover who is funding anti-ICE protesters, calling the woman fatally shot by ICE in Minneapolis a "professional agitator." The president stated the government "will find out" who is paying for brand-new protest signs and organizing demonstrations against law enforcement. Republican Rep. Lance Gooden asserted that "dark money is bankrolling far-left groups like ICE Watch," prompting DHS to investigate. Trump defended the ICE agent involved in the Minneapolis shooting, saying the woman and her associates were "highly disrespectful" and "harassing" law enforcement. DHS retweeted Gooden's post claiming the anti-ICE protests are funded rather than organic grassroots movements. | 💰 Trump Condemns NYC Congestion Pricing as a Disaster
Trump called New York City's congestion pricing program "a disaster" and demanded it end immediately, posting on Truth Social that the $9 peak-hour toll has "never worked before" and "will never work now." The program charges drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street and uses electronic license plate readers to collect fees. Trump previously attempted to end the program and threatened to withhold federal funds if officials didn't eliminate it. New York officials reported traffic decreased 8% to 13% in affected areas months after implementation. Gov. Kathy Hochul defended the program's success, noting that "people like getting across the bridges faster" and opposition has "calmed down." | ⚖️ Lawmakers Propose Bill Blocking NATO Military Action
Members of Congress introduced legislation restricting funding for any unauthorized military action against U.S. allies following Trump's threats to take Greenland "one way or the other." The bill would cut off funding for military operations against NATO members, using budget restrictions rather than war powers to prevent action. Lawmakers are seeking additional Republican support for the measure, which doesn't name Greenland specifically but applies to all NATO countries and territories. Rep. Bill Keating met with Denmark's ambassador and Greenland's representative before introducing the bill. Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and four party leaders stated "we don't want to be Americans, we don't want to be Danes, we want to be Greenlanders," while European leaders including France, Germany, Britain, Italy, Spain, and Poland signed a joint letter affirming that "Greenland belongs to its people." |

| | | | | | 🔔 Trump Slaps Tariff on Supporters of Iran 🔔 | Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claimed Monday the uprising against the brutal regime is now under total control after hundreds, possibly thousands, of civilians were killed by security forces. The Human Rights Activists News Agency reported 496 protesters killed, plus 48 members of Iran's security forces, with about 10,600 people arrested over the past two weeks. Iran Human Rights cited unverified reports suggesting over 2,000 people may have died since the regime began shutting down internet and mobile phone access Thursday to cover its activities. The communications blackout made it difficult for international observers to monitor the violence, though a few videos have leaked out, some showing large numbers of corpses and body bags. Iranian doctors able to communicate with the outside world said hospitals in several cities were overwhelmed with casualties. | Iran is reportedly set to hang 26-year-old Erfan Soltani on Wednesday after he was arrested last week during the protests in Karaj. His family was told he had been sentenced to death and that the sentence is due to be carried out Wednesday, though the execution has yet to be independently verified amid a communications blackout. Soltani was allegedly denied access to a lawyer and was charged with "waging war against God," a crime punishable by death in Iran. More than 10,000 people have reportedly been arrested in recent weeks for participating in the anti-government protests sparked by Iran's failing economy, with many demanding total regime change as the demonstrations continue. | Trump noted Saturday in a Truth Social post that the United States stands ready to help as Iran looks at freedom perhaps like never before with the protests taking place. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Monday that Trump is keeping all options on the table when it comes to Iran, including diplomacy. She noted that what the Iranian regime is stating publicly and its messages behind the scenes to the Trump administration are significantly different. Trump expressed his displeasure with the killings Sunday night during an Air Force One flight, noting that Iran is starting to cross his red line after some people were killed that aren't supposed to be killed. Trump bashed a CNN reporter Sunday for asking if the president believes Iran takes his threats seriously, responding by highlighting his administration's killings of Gen. Qasem Soleimani and terrorist leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. | Trump announced what he described as an immediate and final trade order targeting Iran and its global partners. In a post shared on Truth Social, Trump said any country that continues doing business with the Islamic Republic of Iran would be hit with a 25% tariff on all trade with the U.S. The post came amid heightened tension with Iran as the country entered its fifteenth day of spiraling protests in which hundreds of people have been reported to have been killed. Trump turned to tech billionaire Elon Musk amid Iran's blackout, publicly mentioning Musk by name Sunday when asked by the media whether he would lean on Starlink to help deliver internet access to Iran as citizens take to the streets in mass protests. Their relationship has been warming after months of the pair spatting or having cordial interactions, a stark contrast to their cozy relationship while on the campaign trail and the early days of the administration. | Araghchi told a group of foreign diplomats Monday the situation is now under total control. The ambassadors from Italy, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom were summoned to the foreign ministry in Tehran on Monday and told that their governments must withdraw all public support for the protests because Iran deems such support an unacceptable intervention in the internal security of the country. Araghchi pushed the regime line that some of the protesters were innocent civilians with legitimate complaints, while others were violent agitators who were stoked and fueled by foreign powers, vowing that regime security forces would hunt down these agitators. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian pushed a similar narrative in a speech Sunday, blaming the United States and Israel for unleashing rioters and terrorists on the streets of Iranian cities. | | | | | 🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟 | 🇨🇺 Trump reinstated Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism on his first day in office, reversing Biden's attempt to remove the designation days before leaving office as part of a Vatican-brokered deal to free political prisoners. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Cuba meets terrorism criteria due to support for Colombian armed groups, ties to Hamas and Hezbollah, and hosting Russian and Chinese intelligence facilities. Cuba's foreign ministry characterized Trump's reversal as "a new act of aggression" against the island nation. | ⚖️ The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in two cases challenging Idaho's and West Virginia's bans on transgender athletes in girls' and women's sports, with decisions expected by summer. Lindsay Hecox challenged Idaho's 2020 law after being barred from Boise State's women's track team, while Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 15-year-old high school sophomore, sued West Virginia over its 2021 ban after both laws required sports teams be designated "based on biological sex." Lower courts blocked both state bans, finding they likely violate Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause, while the Trump administration filed a brief supporting the bans, calling them "eminently reasonable." | ⚔️ House Democrats asked a federal judge to block DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's directive requiring seven days' notice for congressional visits to ICE facilities, arguing it violates a December court order and federal spending law. Noem issued the new policy after Judge Jia Cobb blocked an identical requirement, claiming the updated version uses funding from the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" rather than annual appropriations to circumvent the ruling. Three Minnesota Democrats, Reps. Ilhan Omar, Angie Craig, and Kelly Morrison, were denied entry to a Minneapolis ICE facility under the new rule after attempting to conduct oversight following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good. | 🗣️ Rep. Ilhan Omar called the ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis "a clear murder" and "an execution," standing by her characterization despite White House claims that "multiple videos" showed the officer was "clearly struck" by Good's car. Omar stated the ICE officer "clearly" murdered Good after reviewing administration-provided video showing the agent positioned in front of the reversing vehicle with his hands on the car and feet far from the wheels. Omar and 156 lawmakers demanded Secretary Noem suspend federal officer surges to Minneapolis and bring in independent investigators like the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. | 🎬 George Clooney opened his Golden Globes presentation by speaking French - "Bonsoir, mes amis. C'est un honneur d'être ici" - weeks after Trump criticized his French citizenship on Truth Social, calling him and Amal "two of the worst political prognosticators of all time." Trump posted that Clooney got "more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies" after the actor and his family received French citizenship through a naturalization decree. When asked about Clooney's French greeting, a White House spokesperson told reporters, "Nobody cares." | God bless,
