Today’s Big Story…

The Trump administration announced that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will no longer recommend the COVID-19 vaccine for healthy children and pregnant women.

The change follows last week’s announcement that COVID-19 booster access will be limited to seniors 65 and older and other high-risk groups. Previously recommended for everyone over six months old, the vaccine will now require stricter testing before being advised for the general population.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. criticized last year’s push by the Biden administration to give healthy children another COVID shot, saying it lacked supporting data. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary echoed the concern, stating there's no current evidence healthy kids need the vaccine and noted most countries no longer recommend it for children. Kennedy, Makary, and NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya have consistently questioned giving the vaccine to low-risk groups.

Another Big Story…

President Trump warned that Russian President Vladimir Putin is “playing with fire,” claiming on Truth Social that if not for him, “really bad things” would have already happened to Russia.

The Trump administration appears to be shifting its stance toward the Kremlin following a deadly Russian attack on Ukraine over the weekend that killed at least 12 people and hit over 30 cities. The assault occurred alongside the largest prisoner swap of the war, with 1,000 prisoners exchanged.

Trump had announced the swap as a major diplomatic breakthrough, resulting from the first U.S.-brokered direct talks between Russia and Ukraine. The move was part of Trump’s push to fulfill his campaign promise to quickly end the war. However, plans for a Vatican-hosted ceasefire meeting between Putin and Zelensky have now collapsed.

The Administration…

• The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to lift a nationwide injunction blocking its effort to quickly deport illegal aliens to third-party countries. This follows a ruling by Judge Brian Murphy that halted the policy.

• The Trump administration is ramping up efforts to cut off Mexican drug cartels’ funding, targeting the estimated $18–$39 billion they receive annually through cash transfers and laundering schemes. A Treasury official said designating some cartels as foreign terrorist groups allows the government to freeze assets and pursue tougher prosecutions.

• Additionally, President Trump has declared May 28 as a day to celebrate the 101st anniversary of the U.S. Border Patrol.

• President Trump revealed Canada’s share in the proposed $175 billion Golden Dome missile defense system would cost $61 billion. Prime Minister Mark Carney recently confirmed Canada is considering investing in the project.

• The White House announced that President Trump plans to pardon Julie and Todd Chrisley, stars of the reality show Chrisley Knows Best. In 2022, the couple was convicted of defrauding banks out of over $30 million in loans and found guilty of tax evasion.

• California’s state track championship is drawing political tension after President Trump threatened to cut funding and send authorities if a trans-identifying athlete competes in the girls’ category. In response, the state adjusted its rules to let biologically female athletes who narrowly missed qualifying compete for the title.

• A Baptist refugee group in North Carolina is housing newly arrived white South African refugees with furnished apartments. Their arrival followed the exit of an Episcopal group from a taxpayer-funded program after the Trump administration accepted 59 Afrikaners, sparking backlash from liberal circles and the Episcopal Church.

• Elon Musk said he’s “disappointed” by the cost of President Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill,” passed by House Republicans last week. In a CBS interview, he criticized the bill for increasing the deficit and undercutting the work of the DOGE team.

• The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index rose sharply in May to 98.0, up from 85.7 in April—the biggest monthly gain in four years. The jump exceeded all forecasts, with economists expecting a consensus of 87.3. The surge reflects growing optimism about the economy and job market.

• General Motors will invest $888 million in its Tonawanda Propulsion plant to build the next generation of V-8 engines for full-size trucks and SUVs.

• In a surprising turn, President Trump did indeed approve a covert mission to free an American held by Venezuela. Richard Grenell, Trump’s special envoy for Special Missions, chartered a private jet to Antigua, where he met Venezuelan officials and secured the release of Joe St. Clair, a 33-year-old U.S. military veteran imprisoned for six months. Though early reports suggested Grenell acted without authorization, sources close to the White House revealed that Trump personally approved the mission and directed Grenell to keep it quiet, even from senior officials, including State Secretary Marco Rubio.
