| | | | | π Trump Assigns Vance to Lead National Anti-Fraud Task Force President Trump signed an executive order establishing the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, designating Vice President JD Vance as its chairman and FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson as its vice chairman. White House staff secretary Will Scharf said the task force would pursue a whole-of-government approach to rooting out "widespread revelations of fraud in federally-funded programs in states like Minnesota and California," with the potential to return billions to taxpayers. The order directs the task force to develop a national strategy targeting fraud in cash assistance, food, housing, and medical care programs, with a specific focus on improving eligibility verification and implementing pre-payment controls. Vance pointed to Somali fraud in Minnesota involving a Medicaid program intended for autistic children as one example of the abuse the task force will confront. A Vance spokesperson said the fraud has "happened on such a massive scale that it's endangering the future viability of America's entire social safety net." | π³ Trump's Voter ID Bill Faces Problems in Senate Senate Majority Leader John Thune is moving the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act to the Senate floor, but Republicans do not have the votes needed to invoke a talking filibuster, which would have been required to push the bill through more aggressively. Sen. Rick Scott, one of the bill's most vocal supporters, acknowledged the math problem plainly, saying the GOP has to "look at every way we can try to pass it." The plan instead is to force Senate Democrats on record for voting the bill down, with Schumer vowing Democrats "will not let Donald Trump ram this bill through the Senate." Two Republican senators, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, have publicly come out against the bill, citing concerns about a one-size-fits-all federal mandate. In the House, several GOP members are threatening to block other Senate-passed legislation unless the SAVE Act is brought to a vote, with Rep. Derrick Van Orden warning Speaker Mike Johnson that failure to act could cost Republicans the midterms. | π¬ Trump "Thrilled" as FCC Chair Puts Broadcasters on Notice President Trump declared on Truth Social that he is "thrilled" to see FCC Chairman Brendan Carr investigate the broadcast licenses of news organizations he called "corrupt and highly unpatriotic." Carr issued a public warning to networks the day prior, stating that broadcasters running "hoaxes and news distortions" have a chance to correct course before their license renewals come up, adding that the law requires broadcasters to operate in the public interest or risk losing their licenses. Trump took specific aim at coverage of the Iran conflict, claiming one outlet falsely reported the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier was burning, when in fact it had not been struck at all. The president framed the false reporting as so damaging that he suggested media outlets responsible for it could potentially be charged with treason for disseminating false information. Carr's warning also appeared to reference the controversy surrounding CBS and a political interview that never aired, which Carr cited as evidence that public faith in the media has been severely eroded. | π Trump Reveals White House Doctors Saved Congressman President Trump disclosed that White House doctors intervened to save Rep. Neal Dunn of Florida after the congressman received what Trump described as a "terminal" diagnosis with a "pretty grim" outlook. House Speaker Mike Johnson said he informed Trump of Dunn's serious health condition, and Trump immediately suggested connecting him with White House medical staff. The White House doctors arranged for Dunn to receive emergency treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he underwent surgery within roughly two hours of the physicians' visit. Trump praised the doctors as "miracle workers" and Johnson said Dunn now "acts like he's 30 years younger" following the procedure. Dunn, a physician and former Army surgeon who had already announced he would not seek re-election after five terms, has continued serving in Congress throughout his recovery. |

| | | | | | π Trump Says US Has the Honor of Taking Cuba π | Trump stepped up his rhetoric toward Cuba on Monday, telling reporters in the Oval Office that he believes he will have the "honor" of "taking Cuba in some form," adding that whether that means freeing it, taking it outright, or some other arrangement, he thinks he can "do anything I want with it." The comments came as Cuba's entire electrical grid suffered a sudden, total collapse, leaving the whole island without power and deepening a crisis that Trump described bluntly by saying the country "has no money, no oil, no nothing." | Cuba's government acknowledged it has opened talks with the Trump administration in an attempt to head off regime change, with Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel stating Friday that negotiations are aimed at finding solutions through dialogue. Cuba's economic spiral accelerated at the start of the year when the Trump administration cut off oil exports to the island after U.S. forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in a military operation in Caracas. | Trump had previously vowed to "take care" of Cuba's regime following America's focus on Iran, and has in recent weeks described the country as being on the verge of collapse. He also noted that the Castro family governed through violence for decades, saying that both Fidel and his brother Raul were "extremely violent" leaders. | Separately, Trump also threw in a geopolitical quip after Venezuela's baseball team defeated Italy to advance to the World Baseball Classic final against Team USA, posting on Truth Social, "Good things are happening to Venezuela lately! I wonder what this magic is all about? STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?" That playful post reflected the thawing relationship between Washington and Caracas, a dynamic that has already produced tangible results, including the American flag flying over the U.S. Embassy in Caracas for the first time in seven years. Venezuela, appearing in its first-ever World Baseball Classic final, will square off against Team USA, which is making its third final appearance and previously won the championship once. | Back at the White House, Trump signed an executive order creating a national anti-fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance, expanding beyond Minnesota an effort to investigate allegations that federal social-welfare funds have been stolen in blue-governed states. | Trump had previously tasked Vance with leading the Minnesota investigation after reports emerged of Somali-linked fraud schemes allegedly siphoning billions from state assistance programs. The broader pattern across all of Trump's moves in the Western Hemisphere is unmistakable: a president who sees the region as firmly within America's orbit and is not waiting for an invitation to reshape it. | | | | How Will You Generate Retirement Income? | | Most people with $1,000,000 or more saved have a number.

Gavin Newsom's fitness for higher office during Oval Office remarks, citing Newsom's publicly acknowledged dyslexia, saying he supports people with learning disabilities but does not believe a president should have them. Trump also called Newsom's comments at a recent Atlanta book event racist, after the governor told a Black mayor "I'm like you" and referenced his low SAT score. Newsom has spoken openly about his dyslexia for years, stating at that same event that he has not overcome it and is simply living with it. | π The board of trustees for the Trump Kennedy Center voted unanimously to approve a $257 million renovation plan and set July 6 as the official closure date, kicking off what will be an approximately two-year shutdown. The overhaul will address the building's heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning systems and elevators, among other structural repairs, with funding allocated through Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. Former Kennedy Center president Ric Grenell pushed back on Democratic complaints, noting that Congress had been provided specific cost breakdowns and was offered multiple tours of the facility. | π³ The National Republican Congressional Committee launched its MAGA Majority program, releasing an initial list of candidates running in key battleground districts as Republicans work to hold their razor-thin 218-214 House majority ahead of the midterm elections. The program, which replaces what was previously known as the Young Guns program in past election cycles, will provide candidates with early support, strategic resources, and visibility as the GOP looks to go on offense in districts where Democrats are seen as vulnerable. NRCC chair Rep. Richard Hudson described the initial class of candidates as veterans, job creators, and conservative fighters prepared to deliver on Trump's America First agenda. | ⚖️ The Supreme Court agreed to review the Trump administration's effort to revoke Temporary Protected Status for approximately 350,000 Haitian and 6,000 Syrian migrants currently living in the United States, with oral arguments scheduled for next month and a ruling expected by late June. Lower court orders blocking those revocations remain in effect for now, as the justices allowed the consolidated cases to proceed on an expedited basis. Solicitor General D. John Sauer had urged the court to resolve the question definitively, warning that without a ruling the administration would face a continuing cycle of competing court orders blocking its immigration enforcement efforts. | God bless,
