💼 Trump Economy Adds 130K Jobs, Doubles Expectations | | | | | ✅TRACKING TRUMP✅ | Curated by Mike Luso | Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrives at the White House on Wednesday for high-stakes discussions with President Trump centered on Iran's nuclear program, with Washington weighing diplomacy against the threat of military action. Trump has made clear that Tehran's nuclear ambitions will dominate the agenda as the administration pursues talks while maintaining significant military assets in the Gulf. Netanyahu's visit comes as both nations coordinate strategy on Iran while managing broader Middle East security challenges. | Meanwhile, House Republicans faced internal turbulence when a spending vote collapsed after Reps. Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon broke ranks and voted against leadership on a measure designed to protect Trump's tariff authority. GOP leaders kept the vote open for over half an hour attempting to sway holdouts, though they eventually secured enough support to pass the bill. The president continues advancing his economic agenda despite occasional friction within the conference.
Check out all the latest developments and more below! | | | | | 🏛️ House GOP Rebellion Sinks Trump Tariff Vote
A key House vote protecting Trump's tariff authority failed after three Republicans joined Democrats in blocking a procedural measure that would have prevented Congress from interfering with the president's trade policies. Reps. Thomas Massie, Kevin Kiley, and Don Bacon voted against the rule despite House GOP leaders holding the vote open for over 30 minutes while working to persuade undecided members. Kiley objected to leadership using procedural mechanisms to expand their own power at members' expense, while Massie cited constitutional concerns about Congress ceding its authority. The vote had been delayed by seven hours as leadership attempted to quell the brewing mutiny within their razor-thin majority. Democrats had planned to force a vote specifically targeting Trump's Canada tariffs, but the failed rule blocked their effort while exposing fissures within the Republican conference. | 😡 Trump Reacts with Pure Disgust to Guthrie Footage
Trump's immediate reaction to newly released FBI footage showing a masked, armed figure at Nancy Guthrie's Arizona home was one of "pure disgust," according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. The footage, recovered from residual data in backend systems in coordination with private sector partners, shows the person tampering with a Nest security camera while holding what appears to be a handgun on the morning of the 84-year-old's disappearance. Leavitt said Trump directed her to encourage Americans with information to contact the FBI, as authorities continue investigating what they believe was an abduction. The president had previously called Guthrie's daughter Savannah to offer additional federal support, saying the situation was "terrible" and "very unusual" despite their contentious 2020 town hall exchange. Leavitt emphasized that anyone involved in the "depraved crime" should face the fullest extent of the law, while noting the administration's prayers remain with the family. | 🎙️ Trump Admin Pushes Affordability Initiative
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick participated in a policy discussion on Wednesday focusing on Trump's economic plans as the president enters year two of his second term. The event, conducted in partnership with CGCN and the ALFA Institute, featured Lutnick alongside Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow, who praised the secretary as having "one of the most compelling personal narratives" in the Trump administration. Lutnick has emerged as a key player in Trump's tariff negotiations, traveling globally to defend American interests and secure trade deals that prioritize domestic workers and manufacturers. The Commerce Secretary has been heavily involved in Trump's affordability initiatives, particularly touting the benefits of the "Big Beautiful Bill" passed last year. Sen. Tim Sheehy also spoke at the event about his Medicare Transaction Fraud Prevention Act aimed at combating waste and abuse in federal entitlement programs. | 💼 Trump Economy Adds 130K Jobs, Doubles Expectations
The U.S. economy added 130,000 jobs in January, more than twice the 55,000 economists had forecast, while unemployment fell to 4.3 percent from the expected 4.4 percent. The jobs growth came entirely from the private sector, which added 172,000 positions, while federal payrolls contracted by 34,000 and state and local government employment shrank by 8,000 as Trump's administration focuses on shrinking government and "reprivatizing" the economy. Construction added 33,000 jobs and manufacturing climbed by 5,000, with the private services sector adding 136,000 positions primarily in health and social services. White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said expectations for monthly job numbers need to be revised down significantly due to demographic shifts as baby boomers retire and smaller generations replace them. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell had previously suggested that zero monthly job growth could represent full employment if labor supply and demand remain balanced, indicating the economy can stay healthy even with minimal job additions. |

| | | | | | 🔔Trump Meets With Netanyahu to Discuss Iran 🔔 | Netanyahu arrived in Washington to press Trump on Israel's red lines regarding Iran, particularly the regime's ballistic missile arsenal alongside its nuclear program. Trump told reporters that Tehran wants to make a deal very badly but warned that either an agreement materializes or Washington will have to do something very tough. The president referenced previous military action, suggesting the next attack would be far worse than Operation Midnight Hammer. | Vice President JD Vance reinforced this position, telling reporters that there is another option on the table if negotiations fail. Vance confirmed Trump has directed his senior team to pursue a deal preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, but emphasized the president will preserve all options including the military one. The administration maintains significant naval assets in the Middle East, including carrier strike groups that serve both as deterrence and leverage during negotiations. American and Iranian officials resumed talks in Oman for the first time since last summer's 12-day war, with both sides characterizing the discussions as productive. However, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi flatly rejected American demands that Tehran dismantle its ballistic missile program, calling it non-negotiable. | Netanyahu plans to present Trump with Israel's essential principles for any negotiations, which officials say extend well beyond the nuclear file to include missile capabilities. Israeli defense officials recently warned Washington that Iran's ballistic missile program constitutes an existential threat to Israel and that Jerusalem is prepared to act independently if necessary. A former Israeli intelligence official confirmed that Israel retains the capability to strike on its own if the situation demands it, with missile expansion serving as a key trigger. | Former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley urged Trump to make resolving the Iran threat a legacy-defining moment before leaving office, warning that half-measures would squander this historic opportunity. Haley praised Operation Midnight Hammer for weakening Iran's nuclear infrastructure and stressed that Iran has never been more vulnerable than it is right now. She argued the administration faces a choice between negotiating another nuclear deal like Obama did or being strong enough to permanently end the threat. Haley insisted that any agreement must include ending nuclear enrichment and ballistic missile activity, freeing the Iranian people, and cutting off funding for Iranian proxies. She warned that Iran will never agree to comprehensive demands, which is precisely why Trump needs to take decisive action now. Trump must work closely with Israel to ensure that after deploying military resources to the region, the Iranian regime does not remain standing, Haley said. She cautioned that leaving office with Iran once again enriching nuclear material, suppressing its people, and funding military proxies would render all previous efforts meaningless. | Israeli intelligence expert Sima Shine warned that limiting talks solely to nuclear issues while ignoring missiles could leave Israel exposed to Iran's primary deterrent capability. Shine noted Tehran may be stalling to see whether Washington restricts negotiations to nuclear constraints alone, giving Iran room to show flexibility on enrichment while protecting its missile program. Netanyahu indicated he and Trump would also discuss Gaza, where the U.S.-backed postwar framework and ceasefire implementation remain stalled. The Israeli prime minister faces domestic pressure to avoid a controversial Board of Peace initiative that would include Turkey and Qatar, both of which Israel views as malign influences. | The administration's dual-track strategy combines diplomatic overtures with visible military positioning, creating maximum pressure on Tehran to either accept comprehensive restrictions or face potential military consequences. Trump's warning that bad things would happen if Iran refuses a deal echoes his first-term approach of pairing negotiations with credible threats of force. The meeting occurs as Iran faces unprecedented internal pressure from protests over its collapsing economy and growing popular dissent against the regime. | | | | | 🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟 | ⚖️ The Justice Department moved to dismiss Steve Bannon's contempt of Congress conviction, which had resulted from his refusal to comply with a January 6 committee subpoena, despite the former Trump advisor having already completed his four-month prison sentence. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche attributed the dismissal to DOJ efforts to correct what it perceived as an abuse of power during the Biden administration, calling the conviction a result of the "J6 'Unselect' Committee's improper subpoena." Solicitor General John Sauer simultaneously asked the Supreme Court to grant Bannon's pending petition challenging the conviction. | 🔍 The Justice Department installed Missouri-based U.S. Attorney Thomas Albus to head the Trump administration's election probe in Fulton County, marking another instance where an out-of-state prosecutor has been assigned to a politically charged case. Albus signed off on the Fulton County search warrant that authorized the FBI to seize election records, voting rolls, and other data tied to the election from what officials described as "ground zero" for voter fraud complaints. Attorney General Pam Bondi tapped Albus to oversee election integrity cases nationwide under federal law authorizing such appointments, with legal experts noting his role appears lawful unlike previous controversial prosecutor appointments. | 🏛️ Illinois Governor JB Pritzker joined a coalition of 18 Democratic governors boycotting White House events after Colorado Governor Jared Polis and Maryland Governor Wes Moore were excluded from invitations to a traditionally bipartisan National Governors Association dinner. The boycott, led by Democratic Governors Association chair Andy Beshear and vice chair Gretchen Whitmer, also includes Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, and Tim Walz, with the governors signing a statement accusing Trump of creating "chaos and division." White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended the decision, noting it is the president's home and he can invite whomever he wants, while pointing out Moore had been invited previously but never attended. | 💰 Trump Accounts will serve as a nationwide financial literacy tool and antidote to rising anti-capitalist sentiment, according to Comptroller of the Currency Jonathan Gould, who told the Financial Literacy and Education Commission the accounts represent a direct rebuttal to collectivist policies. The tax-deferred investment accounts for children born between early 2025 and late 2028 were created under the "big, beautiful bill" and will consist entirely of stock equity investments managed by private companies rather than the Treasury. Gould encouraged banks to use their credibility to combat anti-capitalist ideologies arising from what he called decades of inattention to harmful curriculum in schools and colleges. | 🚫 The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals granted the Trump administration authority to end Temporary Protected Status for approximately 60,000 migrants from Honduras, Nicaragua, and Nepal, with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem calling it a win for the rule of law. Noem said TPS had become an amnesty giveaway despite Congress designing the program to be temporary, noting that previous administrations used it as a de facto amnesty program for decades while improved conditions in the designated countries justified ending protection. The ruling came after former President Biden expanded TPS to the highest levels in the program's history, ensuring over a million migrants became eligible for the quasi-amnesty. | God bless,
