Curated by Mike Luso
As America mourns after a weekend of deadly violence that spanned from Providence to Sydney to Syria, with President Trump addressing each tragedy personally and promising swift justice. Two American soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed in an ISIS ambush, nine more wounded in a mass shooting at Brown University, and eleven murdered in a brazen antisemitic attack during a Hanukkah celebration in Australia. Trump's message at the White House Christmas reception was clear: there will be serious retaliation against ISIS, and Jewish Americans should celebrate their faith proudly without fear.
Meanwhile, House Democrats are back to their tired Epstein photo dump routine, releasing cherry-picked images featuring Trump alongside Clinton and Woody Allen in a transparent attempt to manufacture scandal. The White House fired back hard, exposing how Democrats solicited money from Epstein after his conviction while falsely attacking the president.
Check out all the latest developments and more below!
⚖️ White House Slams Democrats Over Epstein Photo Dump
The White House accused House Democrats of spreading a cherry-picked false narrative after they released another batch of photos from Jeffrey Epstein's estate featuring Trump, Bill Clinton and Woody Allen among others. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said Democrats are selectively releasing photos with random redactions to create false narratives about the president. She pointed out that Democrats like Stacey Plaskett and Hakeem Jeffries were soliciting money and meetings from Epstein after he was a convicted sex offender, while Trump's administration has done more for Epstein's victims than Democrats ever have. A White House official told reporters none of the documents have ever shown any wrongdoing by Trump, and the selective release with random redactions was intended purely for political purposes. The release came about a week after the same House committee said it received never-before-seen photos and videos from Epstein's private island showing disturbing images behind closed doors.
🏈 Trump Calls NIL System A Disaster Killing College Sports
President Trump ripped the current Name, Image and Likeness system as a disaster during an Oval Office event with the 1980 Miracle on Ice hockey team, warning it's destroying college athletics and hurting Olympic programs. Trump said colleges are putting all their money into football while cutting lesser sports that served as beautiful training grounds for Olympic athletes, causing America to lose teams at numbers nobody can believe. The president noted that even top athletic programs aren't making enough money to sustain themselves given the rate they're paying highly sought-after players, with some guards receiving $7 million contracts. Trump warned that colleges cannot afford to pay the kind of salaries being discussed, and even championship-winning programs won't be financially viable under current NIL compensation structures. He said the NIL system is also a disaster for the Olympics because training ground sports are disappearing as schools funnel all resources toward football programs.
👷 House Pushes Back on Trump’s Federal Union Order
Rep. Jared Golden successfully forced a House vote via discharge petition on legislation reversing Trump's executive order limiting federal worker union powers, with the measure passing after 20 Republicans joined all Democrats in support. Golden and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick are now lobbying the Senate to pass the companion bill introduced by Sen. Mark Warner, which currently sits in the Homeland Security Committee chaired by Sen. Rand Paul. Two Republican senators, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, have already signed on as co-sponsors, while Golden predicts additional GOP support from pro-labor members like Sen. Josh Hawley. The Maine Democrat, who previously worked for Collins, emphasized that union collective bargaining rights transcend partisan divisions and deserve bipartisan protection. Republican opponents maintain that federal employee unions differ fundamentally from private sector unions and that Trump's order appropriately reformed an unbalanced system.
⚖️ Trump Given Victory in Immigration Case
A federal appeals court temporarily halted contempt proceedings ordered by Judge James Boasberg against Trump administration officials over the deportation of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, delivering a victory to the White House in a contentious legal battle. The 2-1 ruling by Judges Neomi Rao and Justin Walker blocked scheduled testimony from two Justice Department employees and gave the administration time to challenge Boasberg's authority to pursue the inquiry. At issue is whether officials willfully violated Boasberg's emergency order attempting to block the use of the 1798 Alien Enemies Act for rapid deportations. Justice Department lawyers called the contempt inquiry an overreach outside the district court's jurisdiction and requested the case be reassigned away from Boasberg, whom Trump has repeatedly criticized as an activist judge. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was identified as the official who authorized the migrant transfers after receiving legal advice, though Boasberg said it would be premature to refer anyone for criminal prosecution at this stage.
🔔 Trump Promises Retaliation for Deadly Attacks 🔔
President Trump addressed three separate terror attacks spanning three continents during a White House Christmas reception, offering condolences while promising decisive American response to those responsible for killing Americans.
Two Army soldiers and a civilian interpreter died when an ISIS gunman ambushed them during a key leader engagement in Syria as part of ongoing counter-terrorism operations in the region. Trump confirmed three additional soldiers were wounded but are recovering after being airlifted to the al-Tanf garrison near the border with Iraq and Jordan.
The president later posted that there will be "very serious retaliation" against ISIS for the attack, noting that Syria's new president Ahmed al-Sharaa is extremely angry about the incident occurring in an area not fully controlled by his government. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth confirmed that partner forces killed the gunman responsible for the attack.
At Brown University in Providence, a mass shooting left two dead and nine injured, with FBI Director Kash Patel confirming officials were able to geolocate a person of interest who is now in custody. Trump paid respects to the Brown victims during his remarks, noting that two are now looking down from heaven.
The antisemitic attack in Sydney proved deadliest of all, with eleven people killed and 29 wounded during a "Hanukkah by the Sea" celebration at Bondi Beach in Australia. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the mass shooting as a targeted attack on Jewish Australians, declaring there is no place for hate, violence and terrorism in the nation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accused Albanese of failing to act as antisemitism spread and said government inaction helped foster a climate of rising hostility toward Jews. Netanyahu revealed he had warned Albanese in an August letter that Australian government policies were encouraging antisemitism, but those warnings went unheeded.
Trump encouraged Jewish Americans to celebrate Hanukkah proudly and not be worried about their safety, telling them to be proud of who they are. The president specifically condemned the Australia attack as "pure antisemitism" during his White House remarks.
A Muslim bystander received praise for his heroism in disarming one of the Australian attackers, preventing additional casualties. Netanyahu saluted the brave man's actions while criticizing the Australian government for requiring action and strength rather than hesitation and weakness.
Syria has arrested five suspects in connection with the ISIS attack as roughly 1,500 American troops remain in the country conducting counter-terrorism operations. The Pentagon is withholding names of the fallen soldiers until at least 24 hours after families have been notified.
🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟
📺 Disney Entertainment co-chair Dana Walden confirmed the White House never contacted the company during its suspension of Jimmy Kimmel's late-night show, contradicting speculation that federal pressure influenced the decision. The suspension followed backlash after Kimmel made on-air comments about the alleged killer of Charlie Kirk that sparked conservative outrage and criticism from Trump. Walden dismissed reports of mass subscription cancellations as "highly exaggerated," noting Disney+ had a strong quarter despite the controversy.
🏈 Navy defeated Army 17-16 to claim the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy for the second consecutive year, with President Trump attending the game for the seventh time and participating in the coin flip. The president's presence at the rivalry game in Baltimore sparked protests outside the stadium, where demonstrators displayed signs opposing Trump's proposal to deploy the National Guard to address the city's crime problems. Baltimore consistently ranks among the nation's most dangerous cities for violent crime including homicides and robberies.
🌎 Bolivia's new conservative president is seeking closer ties with the United States while distancing the country from China and Venezuela, marking a dramatic shift after nearly two decades of leftist rule. Foreign Minister Fernando Aramayo announced plans to break up China's monopoly on lithium mining and attract American investment with technology transfers. The administration wants to reduce dependence on Beijing, which Bolivia's previous government had embraced as a key economic and political partner.
🛂 The Department of Homeland Security is shifting immigration enforcement tactics to focus on illegal immigrants convicted of serious crimes rather than conducting large-scale raids at locations like Home Depot stores. The change comes as polling shows public support for Trump's mass deportation policies has dropped significantly, with one survey finding approval fell from 42% in March to 33% currently. Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino's teams will continue targeted operations but are unlikely to keep grabbing people off the streets indiscriminately.
⚖️ Sen. Ted Cruz outlined three potential criminal charges against Rep. Ilhan Omar if allegations that she married her brother to enter the United States prove true, including federal marriage fraud punishable by five years in prison and deportation. Cruz also cited Minnesota's felony incest law carrying up to 10 years in jail and potential tax fraud violations if joint returns were filed while not legally married. Trump revived the long-standing allegation at a Pennsylvania rally, stating Omar "should get the hell out" if she entered the country illegally, though the congresswoman has repeatedly denied marrying her brother.
God bless,
