Trump Sues N.Y., Hochul & Letitia.

Through the directives of President Trump, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced charges against New York Governor Kathy Hochul, state Attorney General Leticia James, and DMV Commissioner Mark Schroeder for failing to enforce federal immigration laws. The lawsuit was filed against them all personally, and against the state of New York. In her charges, Bondi specifically criticized New York’s Green Light Law, which allows illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses without listing their immigration status.

Last week, the U.S. government filed a lawsuit against Illinois, Chicago, and Cook County, claiming their sanctuary city laws obstruct Trump's immigration policies.

I love it when Trump and team crack down on those who protect illegal aliens.

ALSO…

Trump announced he had a lengthy and productive phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, discussing topics like Ukraine, the Middle East, energy, artificial intelligence, and the power of the dollar.

Trump and Putin agreed they wanted to see the end of millions of people dying and directed their teams to start negotiations, beginning with the U.S. making a call to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, and Ambassador Steve Witkoff will lead the negotiations.

Trump also confirmed that the agreement with Russia to release American school teacher Marc Fogel was in exchange for Russian prisoner Alexander Vinnik, who was arrested in 2017 on fraud and money laundering charges.

Also breaking early this morning, Hamas has agreed to release more hostages. No doubt this is the power of Trump.

BREAKING: Hamas said it will release Israeli hostages as initially planned after holding “positive” talks with mediators, following a dispute with Israel over the Gaza ceasefire deal. Hamas is due to release more Israeli hostages this weekend but had postponed the release,… x.com/i/web/status/1…

My Opinion

In my opinion, all of these stories are highly significant in establishing a groundwork for America’s greatness to be felt again, both at home at abroad.

Hamas has no place to be on earth as far as I am concerned, nor does any terror group driven by Islamic hatred. They must all be stopped, and Trump is determined to do just that.

As for Ukraine and Russia, in my recent interview with war crimes investigator Andrew Wright, he revealed the amount of government and military wrongdoing going on in Ukraine is more than being reported. With this in mind, the U.S. Congress has approved nearly $175 billion in aid and military assistance to support Ukraine since Russia's invasion began in 2022. Aside from ending the insanely high cost that you and I pay to defend a country that has no direct impact on our success, ending the war establishes Trump as the world’s leader who will not tolerate useless killing of any kind.

As for the crackdown on New York and Illinois, I have said it a million times: Once big names like Governor Hochul start paying a price for harboring illegal aliens, then the problem starts to get solved. The faster we place real pressure on these radical lawbreakers, the faster we get our country to return to the rule of law.

A federal judge ruled that President Trump, as the executive branch authority, is allowed to pause federal spending provided it adheres to existing statutes and regulations.

Mexican drug cartels have equipped tunnels with rail and cart systems to smuggle drugs beneath the U.S. border, presenting a challenge for the Trump administration in curbing illegal narcotics. While most drugs enter through southern border entry points, the DEA reports some are also smuggled via cross-border tunnels.

THE CRAZY LEFT

A group of lobbyists is pressuring President Trump and key GOP politicians to support importing more migrants for jobs that should go Americans. The pro-migrant "Make America Wealthy Again" (MAWA) attack campaign will focus on influencing Trump's business allies to pressure him.

American universities received nearly a billion dollars in the past four years from offshore tax havens, according to an report by the Washinton Free Beacon, with donations traced back to China. Since 2021, universities reported over $600 million from Bermuda and millions from other tax havens, but the Biden administration withheld donor names, breaking from past practices.

New York’s top court was asked to reconsider a ruling blocking a law that would allow noncitizens to vote in New York City municipal elections. In January 2022, New York City became the first major U.S. city to grant noncitizens widespread voting rights.

FEMA has been criticized for mismanaging tens of billions of dollars, with government reports highlighting wasteful spending on COVID, hurricanes, floods, and migrant housing.

Outspoken liberal actor Seth Rogen is not as bothered by Trump’s second term as some of his Hollywood colleagues are. In a recent profile in Esquire, the "Superbad" said Trump was voted into office a second time because "People get sick of seeing f**king hippies doing acid and f**king on their lawns, and they’re like, Let’s f**king clean up these streets a little bit. And then people get sick of seeing f**king dorks cleaning up the streets, and they go back the other way.”

VICE PRESIDENT

JD Vance’s relative has been denied a heart transplant for not being vaccinated against COVID. Adaline, who is 12 years old and fighting multiple diseases, is unvaccinated for religious reasons and as a result, has been barred from enlisting her name on the heart transplant list at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

CONGRESS

Senate Republicans took the first step in advancing President Trump’s agenda by passing a budget resolution focused on immigration and military priorities. The Senate Budget Committee approved it 11-10 along party lines, setting the stage for budget reconciliation, which bypasses the filibuster but requires near-unanimous support from GOP lawmakers in both chambers.

Republican Senator Charles E. Grassley, said Trump did not “abide by the law” when firing more than a dozen inspectors general, as he did not give a 30-day notice as legally required. Eight of those inspectors general filed a lawsuit challenging Trump’s decision on Wednesday. Grassley stated that Trump could abide by the law by putting inspectors generals he intended to fire on administrative leave for 30 days while he sent out termination notices.
