Today’s Big Story…

For the first time in its 29-year history, Rasmussen reports that 50% of Americans believe the country is heading in the right direction. While 45% say it's on the wrong track, it’s the first time since Rasmussen began tracking this metric, starting in 2006, that the majority of respondents believe the U.S. is heading for greener pastures. Additionally, Trump's approval rating has risen to 53%, up 7 points, noting it's nearly the same as his rating on January 20th.

“Holy crap – it happened!” Rasmussen’s Mark Mitchell announced on X. “For the first time in our polling history, A MAJORITY says the country is on the right track. Don’t F it up, Republicans.”

Another Big Story…

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. met with Argentine President Javier Milei at the Casa Rosada, where they agreed to pull their countries from the World Health Organization and build an independent global health framework. The two political outsiders pledged to push back against what they see as global overreach and politicized health policy. Argentina confirmed its withdrawal from the WHO during RFK Jr.’s visit, following President Milei’s earlier pledge.

The move aligns with President Trump’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda, which includes pulling the U.S. out of the WHO. Argentina’s government criticized the WHO’s COVID response, calling its lockdown strategy a “caveman quarantine” driven by politics, not science. RFK Jr. backed the decision and urged other nations to leave the organization, arguing it’s influenced by corporate interests and needs to be replaced.

The Administration…

• The Trump administration is targeting foreign officials who censor Americans, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio announcing that those involved will be denied U.S. visas.

• Additionally, Rubio announced that the U.S. will “aggressively revoke” visas for Chinese students, focusing on those linked to the Chinese Communist Party. This comes after the Trump administration paused new student visa interviews.

• President Trump confirmed that Canada is weighing his offer to either pay $61 billion for the “Golden Dome” missile defense shield or join the U.S. as its 51st state and pay nothing.

• All four current members of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are set to resign soon, clearing the way for President Trump’s nominee, Brian Quintenz, to take over as chair. The shake-up comes as the agency prepares to regulate the digital asset market.

• The White House will send its first rescissions package to Congress next week, aiming to cut programs Republicans consider wasteful. OMB Director Russ Vought said the proposal to reclaim funds will be delivered once the House returns to session.

• Before leaving office, Joe Biden commuted 37 federal death row sentences to life without parole. President Trump later ordered their transfer to the ADX Florence supermax prison, prompting a lawsuit from 21 inmates claiming retaliation, which a judge recently declined to block.

• FBI Director Kash Patel pledged full transparency amid ongoing questions about the July 2024 assassination attempt on Trump. In a Fox News interview, Patel said, "I don't know that there's more to know, but you're going to know everything we know."

• Former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro was sworn in as interim U.S. attorney for D.C., vowing to combat violence and improve safety in the nation’s capital.

• President Trump announced he’s nominating DOJ lawyer Emil Bove to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Bove, a former Trump defense attorney and acting deputy attorney general, was once dubbed Trump’s “enforcer” for leading the DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group.

• John Deere has pledged to invest $20 billion in the U.S. over the next decade. CEO John May announced the plan during the company’s earnings call, saying it will expand production, grow the workforce, and upgrade facilities.

Vice President…

JD Vance and two of President Trump’s sons, Don Jr. and Eric, spoke in Las Vegas about using cryptocurrency to benefit everyday Americans. At the Bitcoin 2025 conference, Vance called it a “once in a generation opportunity” for innovation.

Currently, only 17% of U.S. adults have ever used or invested in crypto, with just 8% doing so in the past year. Pew Research shows usage is most common among men aged 18–29 and least among women over 50.

Congress…

The Resistance…

1. The World Health Assembly has approved flying the Palestinian flag at the WHO HQ. Meanwhile, Taiwan remains excluded from WHO activities, despite being the first to warn about the COVID-19 outbreak—an omission widely seen as the result of pressure from China.

2. A federal trade court blocked President Trump from using emergency powers to impose broad tariffs on imports. The ruling followed lawsuits claiming he overstepped his authority and disrupted U.S. trade policy.

3. Paramount Global has offered $15 million to settle President Trump’s lawsuit against CBS News, but talks remain stalled. Trump is demanding over $25 million and a public apology, and has threatened an additional lawsuit over alleged media bias.

4. CBS News reports that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin of President Trump, had been "designing a bomb" for unclear reasons.

5. CNN’s Jake Tapper said a left-wing podcaster implied his 15-year-old son was racist for wanting to become a cop, leaving Tapper shocked. He said the exchange reflected the kind of attitude that’s costing Democrats elections.

6. The Wall Street Journal reported that many manufacturing jobs rely heavily on illegal alien workers, warning deportations could severely impact businesses.

7. The New York Times acknowledges that U.S.-born children of illegal aliens and temporary visa-holders, often called “anchor babies,” receive extensive taxpayer-funded welfare benefits. In covering President Trump’s plans to prioritize the social safety net for American citizens, the Times notes that these children are major recipients of public assistance

8. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey criticized recent ICE operations in Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard, calling the arrests of about 40 illegal aliens “disturbing.” ICE said those arrested included an MS-13 member and a child sex offender.

9. The pro-energy group Power the Future is pushing for an investigation into eight Biden administration climate-related executive orders, claiming they may be invalid because they were signed by autopen without public confirmation from Joe Biden. There's no record of Biden discussing the orders, which they say involve energy policy shifts, raising doubts about his awareness of them.

10. President Trump held a solemn Oval Office ceremony to honor three fallen law enforcement officers, presenting their families with the “Medal of Sacrifice.” Hours later, the daughter of one honoree posted a viral video harshly criticizing Trump, sparking widespread backlash online.

In Other News…

1. The video of the two suspended Secret Service officers after getting into a fight outside former President Obama’s D.C. home last week is going viral. Watch here…

2. An 18-year-old Air Force Academy cadet candidate, Ava Moore, was killed in a jet ski hit-and-run while kayaking on Grapevine Lake, Texas, over the holiday weekend. The suspect is reportedly an illegal alien allowed into the U.S. under the Biden administration. More details…
