šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø Trump Declares Texas Flooding a Disaster

In partnership with

Happy Monday, Patriots!

In a stunning move, President Trump’s DOJ has released its long-awaited report on Jeffrey Epstein—and it’s already sending shockwaves through Washington.

According to the bombshell memo, there’s no evidence Epstein kept a ā€œclient list,ā€ blackmailed elites, or was murdered.

The official finding: Epstein died by suicide, with enhanced jail footage showing no one entering his cell the night he died.

FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy Director Dan Bongino—once vocal skeptics—now confirm the case is closed.

Some MAGA leaders and grassroots conservatives aren’t satisfied, with some blasting the DOJ for failing to deliver real answers about Epstein’s powerful connections.

Stay tuned. This story is far from over.

āœ…TRACKING TRUMPāœ…

Curated by Mike Luso

Hey Team! šŸ˜Ž

While many of us hopefully enjoyed the Fourth of July weekend, celebrating our great nation’s independence, central Texas faced a heartbreaking tragedy as deadly flash floods claimed numerous lives, prompting President Trump to call it a ā€œhorrible disasterā€ and swiftly sign a major disaster declaration for Kerr County to aid recovery efforts. Rescue operations continue along the Guadalupe River, with federal and state resources deployed to support first responders searching for missing individuals, including children from Camp Mystic.

Meanwhile, Trump’s signing of the ā€œOne Big Beautiful Billā€ into law on July 4th, during a White House ceremony, has deepened partisan divides in Washington, as well as the usual critics in mainstream media. Despite the ravings of left-wing lunatics, the President’s signing of the bill marks a giant step toward true prosperity, firmly securing his legacy as an America-First leader.

Check out all the latest developments and more below!

🚨 Anti-Trump ICE Protests in Portland Turn Chaotic
Protests in Portland, Oregon, on Friday targeting President Trump and ICE descended into chaos, with rioters hurling fireworks, smoke grenades, and rocks at federal officers, injuring four. The demonstrators, many wearing dark clothing and chanting ā€œThis is what democracy looks like,ā€ broke into an ICE facility, prompting federal law enforcement to declare an unlawful assembly and secure the building. Journalist Andy NgĆ“ shared footage of Antifa-affiliated protesters clashing with officers, who held their line against the aggressive crowd. The unrest followed Trump’s recent immigration policies, including the ā€œOne Big Beautiful Bill Actā€ and the opening of the ā€œAlligator Alcatrazā€ detention center. Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin condemned the violence, highlighting the administration’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws despite resistance.

šŸ™ Trump and Netanyahu Discuss Gaza’s Future Without Hamas
President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are set to meet at the White House to address the complex issue of Gaza’s governance post-Hamas, with experts emphasizing the need for a viable alternative to the militant group. A proposed non-Hamas technocratic government, backed by Arab states like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and the UAE, faces challenges due to structural, political, and security limitations, requiring intensive U.S.-led diplomacy. Israel insists on retaining counterterrorism access, similar to West Bank arrangements, to prevent Hamas’s resurgence, while Arab involvement hinges on Hamas’s disarmament and a symbolic Palestinian Authority role. Experts warn that without defeating Hamas, it remains the default power in Gaza, as no local entity can currently challenge its control. The talks also follow Trump’s push for a 60-day ceasefire to secure hostage releases, amid his broader goal of expanding the Abraham Accords.

🚫 Trump Rejects Musk’s Political Ambitions for New Party
President Trump labeled Elon Musk’s attempt to start a third political party, the ā€œAmerica Party,ā€ as ā€œridiculous,ā€ arguing that third parties have ā€œnever workedā€ in U.S. politics. Speaking to reporters before boarding Air Force One in Bedminster, New Jersey, Trump emphasized the Republican Party’s success and stated that a third party would only create ā€œconfusion.ā€ Musk announced the party’s formation on X, following a viral poll where 65.4% of 1.2 million voters supported breaking the two-party system. Trump’s comments on Truth Social called Musk ā€œoff the rails,ā€ suggesting his opposition to the ā€œOne Big Beautiful Bill Actā€ stemmed from its elimination of electric vehicle mandates. The public feud continues the rift between the former allies, with Trump defending his legislative achievement and Musk criticizing its fiscal impact.

āœˆļø Fighter Jets Guard Trump After Airspace Violations in New Jersey
Fighter jets from the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) intercepted three civilian aircraft on Sunday that violated temporary flight restriction (TFR) airspace over Bedminster, New Jersey, where President Trump was staying at his Trump National Golf Club for the holiday weekend. A total of 11 unauthorized aircraft incursions occurred over the weekend, with five reported on Saturday and additional violations on Sunday, including one at 10:30 a.m. NORAD used a ā€œheadbuttā€ maneuver, where a military jet flies closely in front of a civilian aircraft, to escort a plane out of the restricted airspace on Saturday just before 2:40 p.m. General Gregory Guillot, NORAD and U.S. Northern Command Commander, emphasized that TFR procedures are mandatory and noted that the violations indicate some pilots are not checking required FAA Notice to Airmen (NOTAMs).

šŸ”” Trump Declares Texas Floods as Disaster šŸ””

Central Texas is reeling from catastrophic flash floods that struck over the Independence Day weekend, with the death toll reaching at least 59, including 21 children, as search and rescue efforts continue for dozens still missing along the Guadalupe River. President Trump signed a major disaster declaration for Kerr County on Sunday, unlocking federal resources to support first responders and aid recovery in the flood-ravaged region.

The tragedy, described by Trump as a ā€œhorrible tragedyā€ on Truth Social, has drawn national attention, with Texas Governor Greg Abbott declaring Sunday a statewide day of prayer and warning of more rain threatening further devastation.

The floods, triggered by up to 15 inches of rain on Friday, overwhelmed Kerr County, particularly impacting Camp Mystic, a Christian girls’ summer camp near Hunt, where 11 girls and one counselor remain unaccounted for. Kerr County Sheriff Larry Leitha reported that the rapidly rising Guadalupe River, which rose 26 feet in 45 minutes, swept away cabins, vehicles, and personal belongings, leaving mud lines six feet high in some structures.

Over 850 people have been rescued, with air, ground, and water-based crews, including the U.S. Coast Guard deploying four helicopters and three C-144 planes, scouring the riverbanks despite challenging terrain and additional rainfall on Sunday. Texas Department of Emergency Management chief Nim Kidd emphasized ongoing efforts, stating, ā€œWe will continue the search until all those who are missing are found.ā€

Amid the crisis, political controversy emerged as Rosie O’Donnell, speaking from Europe, blamed Trump’s policies for the floods, claiming on Instagram that his cuts to the National Weather Service and dismissal of climate change worsened the disaster. The White House, through Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, called O’Donnell’s remarks ā€œshameful and disgusting,ā€ defending Trump’s swift disaster declaration and his administration’s coordination with state and local leaders.

Governor Abbott, who toured the devastated Camp Mystic on Saturday, described the scene as ā€œhorrendously ravagedā€ and expanded the state’s disaster declaration to ensure limitless resources for affected counties, urging families with missing loved ones to contact local authorities as the search intensifies. When asked whether he was still planning to phase out the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), President Trump said that was something ā€œwe can talk about later, but right now we are busy workingā€

President Trump, joined by Republican lawmakers, signs the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" into law during an Independence Day military family picnic on the South Lawn of the White House on July 4 in Washington, DC.

šŸŸ Quick Bite News šŸŸ

🐊 The White House and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis urged Republican-led states to build detention facilities like Florida’s ā€œAlligator Alcatraz,ā€ a $450 million Everglades site for 5,000 ICE detainees, to support President Trump’s deportation agenda. South Carolina’s Representative Nancy Mace expressed interest in a similar facility, while Alaska officials noted they lack alligators but have bears. White House deputy chief Stephen Miller called on red state governors to contact DHS to construct state-specific versions to detain and deport illegal immigrants.

šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡¦ Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described a call with President Trump as ā€œfruitful,ā€ discussing air defense needs and potential Patriot missile sales amid Russian airstrikes. Trump expressed disappointment with a prior call with Vladimir Putin, who showed no interest in halting Russia’s war in Ukraine. Zelenskyy thanked America for its support, emphasizing joint efforts for a lasting peace agreement.

🚨 Democratic leaders, including Vice President Kamala Harris and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, issued July 4 messages warning that Trump’s policies threaten American democracy and freedoms. Harris called for recommitting to core democratic principles, while Jeffries criticized the ā€œOne Big Beautiful Billā€ for favoring billionaires over working families. The somber tone strongly contrasted with traditional Independence Day celebrations, reflecting deep partisan divides.

šŸˆ President Trump stated he would not have changed the Washington Redskins’ name to Commanders, arguing at a Bedminster golf course press conference that the original name was not offensive. He criticized the team’s new logo and uniforms, claiming the 2022 rebrand was unnecessary despite years of debate over the term’s racial insensitivity. Trump’s remarks reignited discussions about sports team names, with the Commanders declining to comment.

šŸ—³ļø Republicans and Democrats are leveraging the passage of President Trump’s ā€œOne Big Beautiful Billā€ as a key attack point ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, with the GOP touting its tax cuts and Democrats slamming its Medicaid and SNAP reductions. The National Republican Congressional Committee argues Democrats’ opposition to the bill shows they ā€œvoted to hurt working families,ā€ while the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee vows to highlight how Republicans’ support for the unpopular legislation betrays voters.

God bless,
