| | | | | 💰 Trump Taps the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
With oil prices swinging wildly since Operation Epic Fury launched on Feb. 28, reaching nearly $120 a barrel at their peak, Trump announced he will tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to bring energy costs back down for American consumers. Speaking during a visit to Thermo Fisher Scientific in Cincinnati, Trump told reporters that releasing from the reserve is a predictable wartime move and that prices will fall more than most people expect. The announcement came the same day the International Energy Agency said its member countries would release 400 million barrels from emergency stocks, the largest distribution in the organization's history, to counter the conflict-driven price surge. Energy Secretary Chris Wright confirmed the U.S. release will begin next week and take approximately 120 days to deliver, with the reserve currently sitting at about 416 million barrels. Trump vowed to refill the reserve once the crisis passes, reminding Americans he had filled it once before and was fully prepared to do it again. | ⚖️ Trump Wins Third-Country Deportation Battle
A federal appeals court granted the Trump administration's request to pause a lower court order that had blocked it from deporting illegal immigrants to so-called third countries, delivering a critical near-term victory just hours before the lower court ruling was set to take effect. U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, a Biden appointee, had ruled that the administration's third-country removal process was unlawful and violated due process protections, requiring the government to first attempt deportation to a migrant's home country before transferring them elsewhere. The Trump administration appealed to the First Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing that Murphy's ruling created an "unworkable scheme" that threatened sensitive negotiations with foreign governments and could derail thousands of planned deportations. Senior Trump officials argued the ruling also cut against two prior Supreme Court emergency stays that had already allowed the third-country deportation policy to continue during legal challenges. The case is now widely expected to land before the Supreme Court for a full review on the merits, a confrontation senior administration officials had acknowledged was coming since early in the year. | 🥊 Trump Encourages Boxer Jake Paul to Run for Office
At a rally at Verst Logistics in Hebron, Kentucky, Trump brought boxer and social media star Jake Paul onto the stage and made a striking public prediction that Paul would run for political office in the not-too-distant future. "You have my complete and total endorsement," Trump told Paul in front of the crowd, praising him as someone with guts, brains, and the kind of courage that made him a natural fit for the political arena. Paul, who is 29 years old and was raised in Ohio near the rally venue, told the crowd that Trump taught him to never back down from a fight and said he believed all the local Kentuckians shared that same fighting spirit. Trump also credited Paul for appearing on his podcast while he was still in office, describing the move as a bold decision and calling Paul "big stuff." Paul has not formally announced any intention to seek office, but his endorsement of Trump during the 2024 presidential race and his growing political involvement have fueled ongoing speculation about his future ambitions. | 🗳️ Trump Endorses Brandon Herrera for Texas Seat
Trump endorsed Brandon Herrera for Texas' 23rd Congressional District after his primary rival, Rep. Tony Gonzales, withdrew from the race following a House Ethics investigation into an admitted extramarital affair with a former staffer. Gonzales, a married father of six who was initially backed by Trump, confessed to the affair on a conservative radio program the day after advancing to the GOP primary runoff, then announced he would not seek re-election. Herrera, a Second Amendment activist and social media personality who narrowly edged Gonzales in the initial primary by a margin of 43.33% to 41.73%, now advances to the general election as the Republican nominee. Trump posted on Truth Social that Herrera is strongly supported by MAGA warriors across Texas and vowed the candidate would fight to grow the economy, cut taxes, secure the border, and protect the Second Amendment. Herrera will face Democratic nominee Katy Padilla Stout, a local attorney, in November, and also received backing from conservative House members Lauren Boebert and Mary Miller. |

| | | | | | 🔔 Trump Warns of Sleeper Cells Operating in US🔔 | As Operation Epic Fury continues, Trump is projecting total confidence on the domestic security front, telling reporters he has zero concern about Iran successfully striking American soil. The FBI had distributed an alert to local law enforcement warning that Iran had allegedly been planning a drone attack launched from an unidentified vessel off the coast, with unspecified targets in California in the crosshairs. | The threat was first flagged in intelligence gathered in early February, before the operation began, and authorities re-intensified their monitoring as Iranian retaliatory strikes escalated against U.S. and Israeli targets. Trump acknowledged he had been fully briefed on the California drone swarm scenario, telling reporters it was being investigated and that authorities were handling each threat as it materialized. | The president went further, confirming that Iranian-linked sleeper cells are present inside the United States and laying the blame directly on Joe Biden's open border policies for allowing those individuals into the country in the first place. Trump told reporters that the government knows where most of the individuals are and has its eyes on all of them. | A Department of Homeland Security threat assessment concluded that Iran and its proxies probably pose a risk of targeted attacks inside the U.S., though a large-scale physical attack was assessed as unlikely. Trump was unimpressed by the threat picture, insisting that the war is being waged at a level the world has never seen, and pointing to unsolicited praise from major foreign governments who told him privately they had never witnessed anything like it. | Alongside the security dimension of the conflict, Trump is simultaneously navigating a diplomatic one tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the United States is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico beginning in June. FIFA President Gianni Infantino disclosed publicly that Trump personally reiterated to him that Iran's men's national soccer team is welcome to compete in the tournament, a message Infantino shared after meeting with the president at the White House. Iran had already qualified for the World Cup before the conflict began, with group stage matches slated in Inglewood, California against New Zealand and Belgium, and a final group game in Seattle against Egypt. Iran's sports minister fired back quickly, declaring that under no circumstances would the country send a squad to compete on American soil while the conflict is ongoing, calling the government a corrupt regime. | Trump showed little concern, having told reporters he views Iran as a very badly defeated country that is running on fumes. Spokespeople for the FBI, the Los Angeles Police Department, California's governor, and the Los Angeles mayor all declined to comment on the specifics of the drone alert when contacted by reporters. The World Cup situation adds an unusual diplomatic wrinkle to what has otherwise been a high-intensity military standoff, with the U.S. striking Iranian targets while simultaneously extending an open invitation to Iran's athletes to compete on American soil. | Trump's message to the country, taken as a whole, was one of command: the sleeper cells are being watched, the drone threats are being investigated, and the war, by his telling, is already won. | | | | Every headline satisfies an opinion.

Rather than pursue a talking filibuster to put pressure on Democrats, Thune has opted for a straight floor vote, a strategy Sen. Ron Johnson called "disastrous" and warned would let Democrats simply vote no and walk away without sustained political cost. Trump has called the SAVE America Act more important than nearly every other legislative priority, warned he may withhold his endorsement of Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas primary until it passes, and told Republican senators they need to get it done or face "big trouble." | 🏥 During Trump's rally at Verst Logistics in Hebron, Kentucky, an older woman behind the president's riser required medical attention about halfway through his remarks, prompting Trump to pause his speech and call out, "Do we have a doctor in the house?" Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz was among the first to reach her, providing assistance alongside first responders as Trump watched and praised the emergency personnel. When Trump noticed Oz in the crowd helping the woman, he pointed him out to the crowd and called him a good doctor, then resumed his remarks roughly seven minutes later. | 🏛 The Senate moved closer to a final vote on the Housing for the 21st Century Act, a sweeping bipartisan package that had already cleared the House by a 390-9 margin, with the bill designed to expand affordable housing supply and help first-time buyers enter the market. A key sticking point is Trump's institutional investor ban, which he signed by executive order and called on Congress to codify, requiring large-scale investors who own more than a threshold number of single-family homes to divest within seven years. Industry groups and some Senate Democrats warned the provision was written too broadly and would effectively shut down build-to-rent housing development, reducing rental supply rather than expanding it. | 🗳 Trump declared that Gavin Newsom is "no longer viable" as a 2028 presidential contender, arguing that the California governor's recent book tour and media appearances have effectively destroyed whatever national political standing he had built. Newsom, who is widely viewed as a leading Democratic contender for the 2028 race, has spent recent months traveling the country promoting his memoir and publicly clashing with Trump on issues including the Iran conflict and gas prices. Trump's comments came as Newsom was simultaneously taking heat at home over California's skyrocketing energy costs, giving the president an opening to attack both his presidential ambitions and his record as governor at the same time. | God bless,
