Check out all the latest developments and more below! | | | | | ⚡ Trump Orders Military Coal Purchases
Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of War to negotiate long-term power purchasing agreements with coal-fired plants, calling coal essential for national defense and industrial strength. The order instructs the Secretary of War to work with the Secretary of Energy to procure power from coal generation facilities serving DOW installations or mission-critical facilities. Trump said the military will be "buying a lot of coal" and that the move ensures "more reliable power and stronger and more resilient grid power." The Tennessee Valley Authority is taking action to save the Cumberland Fossil Plant and Kingston Fossil Plant, preserving over 450 jobs. Trump directed the Department of Energy to issue funds to coal plants in West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, and Kentucky to keep them operational. | 🗳️ House Passes Trump-Backed Voter ID Bill
The House voted 218-213 to pass the SAVE America Act, requiring proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to cast ballots in federal elections. The legislation would require Americans to provide documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote and present photo identification when casting ballots in person or by mail. Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas was the only Democrat to vote in favor of the measure, while all Republicans present supported it. The bill now moves to the Senate, where it faces significant opposition from Democrats and needs 60 votes to overcome a filibuster. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the bill would be "dead on arrival" in the Senate. | 💰 Trump Warns Republicans on Tariff Vote
Trump threatened to back primary challengers against six House Republicans who joined Democrats in voting to reverse his tariffs on Canada. The president posted on Truth Social that "any Republican, in the House or the Senate, that votes against TARIFFS will seriously suffer the consequences come Election time, and that includes Primaries." The House passed a resolution 219-211 to reverse Trump's national emergency declaration at the northern border, with Reps. Dan Newhouse, Kevin Kiley, Don Bacon, Jeff Hurd, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Thomas Massie voting with Democrats. Trump argued that tariffs have reduced the trade deficit, boosted financial markets, and provided national security benefits. The legislation now heads to the Senate, where Republicans have previously voted to rebuke Trump's tariff strategy despite similar warnings. | 📱 Trump FTC Probes Apple News for Political Bias
FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson sent a letter to Apple CEO Tim Cook alleging the company's news curation app may violate Section 5 of the FTC Act through political bias. Ferguson warned that suppressing or promoting news articles based on perceived ideological viewpoint may constitute unfair or deceptive practices if inconsistent with terms of service or contrary to consumers' reasonable expectations. A Media Research Center study found that of 620 stories shared on Apple News in January, 440 originated from left-leaning outlets, 180 from centrist outlets, and zero from right-leaning outlets. Ferguson urged Cook to conduct a comprehensive review of Apple's terms of service and take corrective action if curation practices violate the company's own policies. The FTC chair clarified the agency is "not the speech police" but has authority to protect consumers from material misrepresentations and omissions regarding speech-related products. |

| | | | | | 🔔Trump Pulls Back National Guard from Major Cities 🔔 | The Trump administration pulled federalized National Guard troops from Portland, Los Angeles, and Chicago by late January, U.S. Northern Command confirmed to Newsmax. Troops were sent home after facing legal challenges and opposition from state and local authorities who objected to their presence in cities where they were deployed for domestic enforcement. Title 32 troops remain active across the country, including approximately 2,500 in Washington, D.C., along with deployments in Memphis and New Orleans. Title 32 activation allows state governors to mobilize National Guard units under state control while receiving federal pay and benefits. | The Supreme Court declined in December to lift a lower court order blocking Trump's attempt to deploy federalized troops in Chicago over state objections, casting doubt on his authority to use troops for domestic enforcement without clear statutory backing. Randy Manner, a retired Army two-star general and former acting vice chief of the National Guard, told The Washington Post that legal limits on what troops could do on U.S. soil made them "100% ineffective at accomplishing what [Trump] wanted." Trump wrote on Truth Social in early January that he was removing troops from the three cities despite crime being "greatly reduced" by their presence, adding he would return "perhaps in a much different and stronger form" when crime increases again. | Border czar Tom Homan announced that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is ending Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis after President Trump agreed to the plan. Speaking at a news conference alongside senior ICE, Homeland Security Investigations, and Border Patrol officials, Homan said the operation produced "successful results" and made the Twin Cities "much safer" through arrests of violent criminal aliens and improved coordination with law enforcement. Federal authorities say the sweeps in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area led to the arrest of more than 4,000 people, including an illegal alien convicted of rape and lewd acts involving a child under 14. | Homan addressed widespread rumors that ICE conducted raids inside sensitive locations, stating the agency has not arrested anybody inside hospitals, elementary schools, or churches, calling those claims "unfounded." However, Homan said those locations are "not off the table" if a significant public safety or national security threat is involved. A key achievement of the surge was establishing better cooperation with local Democrat officials, including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey. Minnesota authorities agreed that county jails can notify ICE of inmate release dates, allowing federal agents to take custody of criminal aliens at the time of release. | More than 200 people have been arrested for allegedly assaulting or impeding federal officers, and the U.S. attorney's office has accepted many cases for prosecution. With the improved security situation and enforcement gains, Homan said he recommended ending the surge operation after Trump agreed to the plan. A significant drawdown was already underway during the week of the announcement and was set to continue through the following week. Homan emphasized the drawdown does not mean ICE is backing down from immigration enforcement, stating Trump made a promise of mass deportation and "that's what this country is going to get." | A new inspector general's report released Thursday accused the Biden administration of bypassing federal rules when issuing a more than half-billion dollar sole source contract to a nonprofit led by a former Biden official. The Administration of Children and Families under HHS awarded $529 million in March 2021 to Family Endeavors Inc. to establish and manage a new emergency intake site in Texas with 2,000 extra beds for unaccompanied minors. The inspector general's report found that Biden's ACF failed to follow federal procurement requirements for full and open competition due to their own "insufficient planning" rather than the COVID-induced emergency the Biden administration cited. | The contract price was more than double the agency's own cost estimate of $244 million, and the agency subsequently modified the award 15 times, extending the period until May 2022 and increasing the value to more than three times the original estimate. The contract beginning in March 2021 was "by far the largest ever" for Family Endeavors Inc., coming months after the company hired Andrew Lorenzen-Strait, who served as an advisor to the Biden-Harris transition team. By April 2021, federal procurement records showed ACF had already paid $255 million of the no-bid contract to the nonprofit, dwarfing the nonprofit's total $43 million budget in 2018. | The Trump White House reiterated that anyone residing in the U.S. illegally is eligible for deportation as its crackdown continues to initially focus on removing "the worst of the worst" violent illegal immigrants. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said Trump's team is "on the same page" when it comes to implementing his agenda, which has "always focused on prioritizing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens." White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reaffirmed that deporting all illegal immigrants continues to be the mission of the administration, with violent criminals first up for deportation. | | | | | 🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟 | 💳 The Trump administration is expanding passport revocations for parents owing significant child support, starting with those who owe more than $100,000 in past-due payments. The State Department will begin actively revoking passports based on data from HHS rather than waiting for renewal applications, affecting potentially thousands of passport holders. Since the Passport Denial Program began with the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, nearly $621 million in past-due child support has been collected, including nine payments exceeding $300,000. | ⚖️ JP Cooney, a former deputy to Special Counsel Jack Smith who prosecuted Trump, launched a congressional campaign in Virginia as a Democrat after being fired by the Trump Justice Department. Cooney said he was dismissed because of his work prosecuting Trump and announced his run for Virginia's 7th Congressional District, which would be altered under a Democratic redistricting push requiring legal clearance and a ballot referendum. Former Special Counsel Smith praised Cooney as someone with integrity committed to upholding the rule of law and a model for public service. | ✈️ Russia will suspend flights to Cuba after airlines Rossiya and Nordwind reported difficulties refueling aircraft, with the suspension coming two weeks after Trump declared a national emergency over Cuba and authorized tariffs on countries supplying oil to Havana. Rossiya will operate several outbound-only flights from Havana and Varadero to Moscow to evacuate Russian tourists before halting service until the situation improves. The FAA posted notices for nine Cuban airports warning that Jet A-1 fuel is unavailable, with the advisory remaining in effect through March 11. | 🎯 Pennsylvania Senator David McCormick, who witnessed the Butler assassination attempt in person, said he's "not satisfied" with answers about how a lone gunman breached security at less than 150 yards from Trump. McCormick questioned how Thomas Matthew Crooks could access such a prominent position so close to the rally stage, warning that unresolved security failures breed public mistrust even when legitimate answers exist. The shooting killed volunteer firefighter Corey Comperatore and wounded two others before a Secret Service sniper killed Crooks shortly after he fired the shots. | 🚛 The Department of Transportation issued a final rule barring states from licensing truck and bus drivers whose driving histories cannot be verified through consular or interagency screening, closing a gap that allowed unvetted drivers behind the wheel of 80,000-pound commercial vehicles. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the rule eliminates the use of Employment Authorization Documents and mandates Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements verification, restricting eligibility to fully vetted nonimmigrant categories. States previously lacked access to foreign driving records, allowing individuals with dangerous histories to obtain trucking licenses simply by presenting documents that don't screen for transportation safety. | God bless,
