🇺🇸 Trump Takes Hard Line on Venezuela
Happy Thursday, Patriots,
President Trump is taking his tariff battle straight to the Supreme Court—warning that the stakes could not be higher.
After a federal appeals court ruled most of his tariffs “illegal,” Trump filed an urgent appeal, arguing that striking them down would cripple trade negotiations and force massive refunds of the $159 billion already collected.
“These unlawful tariffs are inflicting serious harm on small businesses,” critics argue.
But the Trump administration fired back: “That decision casts a pall of uncertainty upon ongoing foreign negotiations… jeopardizing both already negotiated framework deals and ongoing negotiations. The stakes in this case could not be higher.”

💸 Mark Cuban’s Biggest Regret?
Imagine turning down Uber at a valuation of $10 million only to watch them go public at over $80 billion.
That’s exactly what happened to Marc Cuban… a 799,900% return, gone.
And by the time we hear about industry-changing disruptions like this, it's usually too late… but right now there’s a tech startup making waves behind the scenes. Like Uber turned vehicles into income-generating assets, they’re turning smartphones into the easiest passive income source imaginable.
They were named the #1 fastest growing software company by Deloitte in 2023 and have already earned over +$325M for their customers.
This tech startup is Mode Mobile, and unlike Uber, you have a chance to invest in their company before they potentially go public.
50,000+ shareholders have already invested in their previously sold-out round at $0.30/share, with limited space left in the current offering.
Disclosures
Mode Mobile recently received its ticker reservation with Nasdaq ($MODE), indicating an intent to IPO in the next 24 months. An intent to IPO is no guarantee that an actual IPO will occur.
Potential Uber return for Marc Cuban does not take into account dilution.
The Deloitte rankings are based on submitted applications and public company database research, with winners selected based on their fiscal-year revenue growth percentage over a three-year period.
In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the issuer and the terms of the offering, including the merits and risks involved. Mode Mobile has filed a Form C with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with its offering, a copy of which may be obtained here: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1748441/000164117225025402/ex99.pdf
✅TRACKING TRUMP✅
Curated by Mike Luso
The Trump administration is making waves across multiple fronts this week, and the results are hard to ignore. After successfully striking a Venezuelan drug vessel that eliminated 11 Tren de Aragua operatives, President Trump doubled down on his Venezuela strategy by stripping temporary protections from over 260,000 Venezuelan nationals currently in the U.S. The message to Maduro couldn't be clearer, and all eyes are on Caracas to see how the regime responds to this escalating pressure.
Back home, Trump's facing fresh legal battles as his tariff policies head to the Supreme Court – yet another example of how the left continues weaponizing the courts to obstruct his economic agenda. But perhaps the most telling development is happening in Washington D.C., where Mayor Bowser has completely reversed course. She's now openly crediting Trump's federal intervention for the dramatic drop in violent crime and is scrambling to hire hundreds more police officers to maintain the progress. With D.C.'s transformation serving as a powerful proof of concept, speculation is mounting about which troubled city might be next on Trump's cleanup list – will it be crime-ridden Chicago, struggling Baltimore, or violence-plagued New Orleans?
Check out all the latest developments and more below!
🚔 Trump's DC Federal Takeover Ends
Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced a police recruitment initiative and 13% pay increase as President Trump's 30-day federal takeover of the Metropolitan Police Department approaches its end. Bowser admitted the city needs to "add hundreds more police," revealing that D.C. currently has 3,188 sworn officers while targeting a goal of 4,000 officers. The administration's federal emergency declaration will expire on September 10, with Bowser's office stating that violent crime in the district has noticeably decreased since the cooperative efforts between district and federal officials began. Attorney General Pam Bondi reported 92 arrests and 27 illegal firearms seized in a single night during the federal crackdown, including two homicide suspects and five arrests for assault against law enforcement. Bowser emphasized that the emergency ends on September 10 and can only be extended legally by Congress, stating the city has established a framework for requesting federal resources without needing a presidential emergency.
⚖️ Trump Seeks Supreme Court Ruling on Tariff Powers
The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to quickly decide whether President Trump has the authority to impose sweeping tariffs under federal emergency law after a federal appeals court ruled 7-4 that most of his tariffs were illegal under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Many states and small businesses challenged Trump's tariffs in a lawsuit, claiming they were causing serious economic harm, with one attorney stating the "unlawful tariffs are inflicting serious harm on small businesses and jeopardizing their survival." The Trump administration countered that striking down the tariffs could cause serious economic harm, arguing the decision "casts a pall of uncertainty upon ongoing foreign negotiations" and stating "the stakes in this case could not be higher." Officials pointed out that the levies have raised $159 billion since late August, more than doubling from the previous year. Legal experts noted that if courts strike down these tariffs, the U.S. Treasury could be forced to refund billions already collected, with the Supreme Court expected to decide soon whether to take up the case directly.
🌍 Trump Confronts Reporter Over Russia Actions
President Trump lashed out at a Polish reporter who claimed he had taken "no action" against Russia during a bilateral meeting with Polish President Karol Nawrocki at the White House. When the reporter stated there had been "no action since you took your office," Trump responded by citing secondary sanctions on India, Russia's largest purchaser of oil outside of China, saying the sanctions "cost hundreds of billions of dollars to Russia." Trump told the reporter "I haven't done phase two yet or phase three, but when you say there's no action you ought to get yourself a new job." The exchange occurred after Trump accused Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un of "conspiring" against the U.S. during their meetings at China's military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of Japan's World War II surrender. Trump expressed disappointment that Xi did not thank the U.S. for its role in securing Japan's defeat, writing on Truth Social that "many Americans died in China's quest for Victory and Glory."
✈️ Trump Hosts Polish President in White House
President Trump welcomed Polish President Karol Nawrocki to the White House with full ceremony, including an F-16 and F-35 flyover honoring a fallen Polish fighter pilot. The two leaders delivered brief remarks in the Oval Office before heading into a private bilateral lunch. Trump praised Nawrocki’s return to power, calling his electoral comeback “incredible” and saying the Polish people “really love him.” He added that their discussions would focus on trade and other important matters. Nawrocki thanked Trump for his endorsement and emphasized the strong U.S.–Poland relationship, rooted in shared values and the support of the Polish diaspora in America.

🔔 Trump Takes Hard Line on Venezuela 🔔
President Trump has moved decisively to end protection for Venezuelan migrants while simultaneously escalating military pressure against the Maduro regime. The Department of Homeland Security terminated the 2021 designation of Temporary Protected Status for Venezuela, affecting 268,156 Venezuelan nationals currently residing in the United States. Secretary Kristi Noem cited Venezuela's substantial role in driving irregular migration and the clear magnet effect created by TPS as reasons for the termination, stating that maintaining such protections directly undermines border security efforts.
The administration previously terminated a second TPS designation from 2023, leaving roughly 348,000 Venezuelan nationals required to make arrangements to leave the country. DHS officials emphasized that allowing Venezuelan nationals to remain temporarily in the United States contradicts America's national security interests. The agency recommended those no longer protected by TPS use the CBP Home Mobile App to facilitate their departure from the United States.
Trump has simultaneously deployed significant naval assets to the Caribbean region, including the USS Iwo Jima, USS Lake Erie, USS Jason Dunham, USS Gravely, and USS Sampson. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered these forces to target criminal organizations and narco-terrorism, with the enhanced presence designed to detect, monitor, and disrupt illicit actors threatening homeland security. The military deployment represents what one former intelligence officer called the largest U.S. naval presence in the Caribbean under Southern Command in decades.
The administration conducted a military strike on Tuesday that destroyed a Venezuelan drug boat carrying alleged Tren de Aragua members, killing eleven individuals. Trump confirmed the vessel contained massive amounts of drugs destined for the United States, stating that officials possessed recordings of the suspects speaking. The strike came as part of broader efforts to dismantle what the administration characterizes as state-sponsored criminal activity by the Venezuelan government.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro responded by accusing Trump of seeking regime change through military threat, calling the situation the biggest threat seen on the continent in the last century. Maduro deployed troops along Venezuela's border while mobilizing civilian militias to defend against perceived U.S. aggression. The Venezuelan leader has claimed that Secretary of State Marco Rubio effectively controls White House policy toward his country.
A federal court challenge has complicated Trump's deportation strategy, with a divided Fifth Circuit panel blocking his use of the Alien Enemies Act for mass deportations. Two judges rejected Trump's argument that state-backed migration constitutes a predatory incursion warranting special presidential powers, though a third judge supported the administration's position. The case is expected to reach the Supreme Court for final resolution.
The FBI has determined that Venezuelan officials likely facilitate migration for Tren de Aragua gang members to the United States, lending credence to administration claims about state-sponsored criminal activity. The administration doubled its reward for information leading to Maduro's arrest to $50 million while refusing to recognize him as Venezuela's legitimate president. Secretary Rubio has advocated treating cartels as armed terrorist organizations rather than mere criminal enterprises, providing new legal authorities for military action.
Trump characterized Venezuela as "a very bad actor" while promising continued pressure on drug trafficking operations. Administration sources suggest the goal involves forcing Maduro to make rash decisions that could lead to his ouster without deploying American ground forces. The strategy includes hopes that increased pressure might prompt internal finger-pointing within Venezuela and lead cartel bosses to blame Maduro for their losses.

🍟 Quick Bite News 🍟
🧬 During a hot-mic moment at Beijing’s military parade marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin were overheard discussing advancements in biotechnology that could allow continuous organ transplants, extended youthfulness, and even immortality, with Xi stating some predict humans may live to 150 this century. Putin later confirmed to reporters that the conversation touched on longevity science and future medical breakthroughs, noting his interest in the topic and previous efforts such as launching a state-backed research initiative focused on cellular rejuvenation, neurotechnology, and organ regeneration
🛡️ President Trump suggested the National Guard could be deployed to New Orleans as part of a crime crackdown effort, noting that Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry wanted the administration to "come in" and address the crime problem. Trump stated his administration was making a determination between going to Chicago or New Orleans, saying they could "straighten that out in about two weeks" and that it would be "easier than D.C." Louisiana Governor Landry welcomed Trump's offer of help, posting on social media that the state would take assistance "from New Orleans to Shreveport," while New Orleans City Council President JP Morrell opposed the idea, calling it "ridiculous to consider sending the National Guard into another American city that hasn't asked for it."
😠 Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz faced criticism from conservatives for comments at a Labor Day picnic in Duluth where he referenced recent online conspiracy theories about Trump's health, telling the crowd "there will be news sometime, just so you know, there will be news." Republican House Majority Whip Tom Emmer posted that Walz was "mocking President Trump's health" and called it "a new low," while other conservatives accused Walz of wishing ill on the president who has faced two assassination attempts. Trump later addressed the speculation about his health, calling it "fake news" and explaining he was "very active over the weekend."
⚖️ Rep. Nancy Mace left a closed-door House Oversight Committee meeting with Jeffrey Epstein victims in tears, saying their testimony triggered a full-blown panic attack as a sexual assault survivor herself. The South Carolina Republican was seen leaving the two-hour meeting with six Epstein accusers, writing on social media that she experienced sweating, hyperventilating, and shaking while listening to their stories. House Speaker Mike Johnson told press that members learned "additional names" of individuals connected to Epstein, describing the briefing as "heartbreaking and infuriating," while Mace has signed onto a bipartisan discharge petition to force the Department of Justice to release Epstein files.
🇺🇸 President Trump said he was giving "serious thought" to stripping actress and comedian Rosie O'Donnell of her U.S. citizenship, calling her "not a Great American" and "incapable of being so" in a Truth Social post. The Constitution does not allow a president to strip citizenship of someone born in the U.S., and O'Donnell was born in Commack, New York, with the 14th Amendment granting citizenship to anyone born in America. O'Donnell moved to Ireland with her daughter earlier this year following Trump's electoral win and is pursuing Irish citizenship to become a dual citizen, citing the current political climate as her reason for leaving the United States.
