🇺🇸 Trump Threatens Military Action in Venezuela
In partnership with
Happy Tuesday, Patriots,
President Donald Trump said Monday that the United States is prepared to move forward with a potential sale of F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, ahead of today’s high-level meetings at the White House with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
The announcement comes as the administration prepares to finalize several major defense agreements with Riyadh, already the largest purchaser of U.S. weapons.
The possible F-35 sale would mark a significant expansion of the U.S.–Saudi security partnership, as the kingdom seeks more advanced capabilities and Washington looks to solidify its influence in the region.
Tuesday’s talks follow Trump’s May visit to Riyadh and cap a year of deepening military and economic coordination between the two countries.

Venezuela's grip on America's borders is loosening, and President Trump is making sure Nicolás Maduro knows it. Trump made clear he hasn't ruled out sending U.S. troops to Venezuela to finish what economic pressure and military strikes have started. At the same time, the president expressed willingness to hear directly from Maduro about averting further escalation.
Meanwhile, the Epstein scandal continues permeating Washington as Trump publicly supports the full release of all files, turning what Democrats hoped would damage him into yet another reminder that it's their party with the most to hide. The coming days promise more revelations as Trump's transparency stands in sharp contrast to the left's defensive posturing.
Check out all the latest developments and more below!
💰 Trump Promises Dividend Checks by Mid-2026
President Trump said Americans could see payment checks funded by tariff revenues as soon as next year, promising that hundreds of millions of dollars in tariff money would be distributed as dividends by mid-2026. Trump first floated the idea last week, saying he would use tariff revenue to send $2,000 payments to low- and middle-income Americans, with any remaining funds directed toward paying down the nation's soaring debt. Tariff revenues have climbed sharply from $23.9 billion in May to $29 billion in July since Trump announced his Liberation Day tariffs in April. Total duty revenue reached $215.2 billion in fiscal year 2025, which ended Sept. 30, according to the Treasury Department. The Supreme Court is reviewing the legality of Trump's trade measures as tariff collections have soared under the president.
🇺🇸 Trump Pressures Indiana on Redistricting
President Trump vowed to back primary challenges against Indiana Republican lawmakers who didn't support his push to draw new congressional maps that would create another GOP-leaning district. Trump wrote that he will be strongly endorsing against any state senator or house member from Indiana that votes against the Republican Party by not allowing redistricting for congressional seats. Despite pressure from Trump and his political team, Indiana Republican Senate leader Rodric Bray announced last week that there wasn't enough support in the chamber to move forward with redistricting. Trump invited some Indiana Republicans holding out against redistricting to White House meetings in the coming days, and Vice President JD Vance visited the state earlier this autumn to discuss the issue. The push is part of Trump's broad effort to pad the party's razor-thin House majority and prevent what happened during his first term when Democrats reclaimed the House in the 2018 midterms.
✈️ Trump Moves Forward with F-35 Deal for Saudi Arabia
President Trump told reporters at the White House that the U.S. will likely move forward with a deal to sell F-35 jets to Saudi Arabia. Trump is expected to close several deals with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a White House visit, which could see billions more in U.S. weapons flow to one of the world's most prolific importers of military hardware. Between 2020 and 2024, Saudi Arabia was the top buyer of American-made arms, accounting for 12% of all U.S. weapons exports, with the U.S. providing 74% of all Saudi arms imports during that period. The F-35, the crown jewel in Lockheed Martin's portfolio, is among the most advanced fighter jets in the world and one of the most sought-after symbols of U.S. military might. The crown prince's White House visit marks his first visit in more than seven years, with the two last meeting in May when Trump made his first state visit of his second term to Riyadh.
📄 Trump Says He'll Sign Epstein Files Release Bill
President Trump said "I'm all for it" when asked if he would sign a bill forcing the Justice Department to release all its files related to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. Trump made the remark as the House of Representatives prepared to vote on the bill, adding that "we have nothing to do with Epstein" and that "the Democrats do" because all of Epstein's friends were Democrats. When asked again about signing the bill if it reaches his desk, Trump said "sure I would" and told the Senate to look at it. Trump argued in a Truth Social post that if the Democrats had anything, it would have been released before the landslide election victory. House Speaker Mike Johnson, who had been against the bill but pushing parallel transparency efforts, said he hoped it would undergo material changes in the Senate to give more protection for innocent people whose names may appear in the files.
🔔 Trump Threatens Military Action in Venezuela🔔
President Trump declared he has not ruled out sending U.S. ground troops to Venezuela as his administration escalates its campaign against criminal networks tied to Nicolás Maduro's regime. Trump said he doesn't rule anything out when asked about deploying troops, adding that Venezuela dumped hundreds of thousands of criminals into America from their prisons.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that the Cartel de los Soles, a cocaine trafficking operation run through the Venezuelan military, will be designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Rubio stated explicitly that the cartel is headed by Maduro and other high-ranking regime officials who have corrupted Venezuela's military, intelligence, legislature, and judiciary. The designation, which takes effect November 24, will allow the U.S. government to ban any individual tied to the organization from entering the country and freeze any organization assets present in America.
The administration has carried out at least 21 fatal strikes on drug-trafficking boats in waters off Central and South America since September, with the most recent strike unfolding Sunday. The USS Gerald R. Ford, the world's largest aircraft carrier, entered the Caribbean Sea earlier in November with more than 4,000 sailors, two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, and command ship USS Winston S. Churchill. Federal agents raided a makeshift nightclub in San Antonio early Sunday morning, detaining more than 150 patrons suspected of being in the U.S. illegally amid suspicions the venue was linked to Tren de Aragua, the violent Venezuelan gang Trump designated as a foreign terrorist organization in February.
The raid followed an FBI investigation that led to an April operation in Austin involving the gang that resulted in more than 40 arrests. Venezuela launched a large-scale military operation this week, claiming it is responding to an "imperialist threat" from U.S. forces, with Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López saying the nationwide drills involve land, air, naval, and reserve forces.
Trump said Sunday that Maduro indicated he wants talks with the U.S. as tensions mount, and the president added he would probably speak with the dictator. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump has been very clear and consistent that he's prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into America and to bring those responsible to justice. The Trump administration has repeatedly stated it does not consider Maduro the legitimate president of Venezuela given the numerous sham elections he has staged and the violent repression of legitimate presidential candidates. Trump said the administration has a tight border now with nobody coming in, but millions poured through a year ago including members of Tren de Aragua, which DHS chief Kristi Noem called worse than MS-13.
The U.S. government is offering $50 million for information leading to Maduro's arrest and $25 million for Diosdado Cabello, Maduro's interior minister whom reports have long identified as a leader of the Cartel de los Soles. Trump's campaign against the Venezuelan regime represents a decisive break from the weakness that allowed cartels to flourish and export their violence to American communities.

⚖️ The House Freedom Caucus is rallying behind Rep. Brandon Gill's push to impeach U.S. District Judge James Boasberg for his role in Arctic Frost, the code name for ex-special counsel Jack Smith's probe into President Trump and the 2020 election. Gill argued Boasberg acted in a partisan fashion when he signed off on subpoenas and gag orders related to the investigation, including subpoenas for phone records from several Republican legislators in Congress. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Harris said the judge's bias is pretty clear and that someone with that kind of bias cannot exist in the federal judiciary, though he signaled it would not be an issue the group would pressure House leadership on anytime soon.
🏛 The Trump administration filed a lawsuit challenging California's law banning federal immigration agents from wearing face masks to hide their identities, arguing the measure is unconstitutional and that the state does not have authority to restrict federal agents. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the No Secret Police Act and No Vigilantes Act into law in September, barring most law enforcement including federal agents from wearing masks on the job except for undercover agents or those using medical masks. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the California laws discriminate against the federal government and are designed to create risk for agents, while the lawsuit argues the laws would recklessly endanger the lives of federal agents and their family members.
⚽ President Trump hosted a meeting of the White House task force on FIFA and announced a new system allowing World Cup ticketholders to receive priority interviews to obtain visas. Trump said he directed his administration to do everything within its power to make the 2026 World Cup an unprecedented success, noting that record ticket sales are being set. FIFA President Gianni Infantino said FIFA expects between five and 10 million people coming to America from all over the world to enjoy the World Cup next year, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio noting that over 400 additional consular officers have been deployed to embassies around the world to handle visa requests.
🇺🇸 California Gov. Gavin Newsom was declared the Democratic frontrunner to win back the White House in 2028 by Politico senior political columnist Jonathan Martin. Martin wrote that Newsom has positioned himself over the past two years as the most viable Democratic contender and has claimed a new title as front-runner. The columnist argued Newsom combines traditional political experience with a strong grasp of social media and the ability to connect with younger voters, and noted his willingness to mock Trump and his supporters online has endeared him to the anti-Trump coalition.
💬 President Trump told the McDonald's Impact Summit 2025 that he was the first former McDonald's fry cook to become president, joking that his 30-minute shift lasted longer than Kamala Harris worked there. Trump used his fast-food experience to connect with franchisees and reinforce a campaign trail theme, thanking the McDonald's employee who verified that Harris never worked there. Trump praised McDonald's as a symbol of affordability and American success, calling himself one of the company's most loyal customers and noting that his planes were stocked with burgers and fries instead of expensive catering.
