President Trump is officially on OFFENSE.

The Trump Administration just filed a federal lawsuit against the state of Maine for REFUSING to protect girls’ sports from radical gender ideology.

You heard that right—Maine is continuing to ignore federal law and allow biological males to compete in girls’ sports.

But President Trump? He’s fighting back.

ā€œThe Department of Justice will not sit by when women are discriminated against in sports,ā€ said White House Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday.

President Trump already signed an Executive Order requiring schools to protect women’s sports—and now he’s going to court to ENFORCE IT.

This is just the beginning. The fight to protect our daughters’ future is on.

āœ…TRACKING TRUMPāœ…

Curated by Mike Luso

Hey Team! šŸ˜Ž

President Trump’s charging forward, taking on elitists and globalists to protect America’s values.

From battling Harvard’s ivory tower to forging trade deals, he’s putting the nation’s interests first.

This is a leader who fights for you, not for applause.

Check out his latest moves below!

āš–ļø NEWSOM’S TARIFF LAWSUIT: California Governor Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit against President Trump’s administration, challenging tariffs he claims harm the state’s economy. ā€œThese tariffs are a tax on Californians,ā€ Newsom said, citing a 145% levy on Chinese goods. The suit, backed by state Democrats, seeks to block the measures, alleging federal overreach. Trump’s team dismissed it as ā€œpolitical grandstanding,ā€ defending the tariffs as vital for American jobs. A federal court will hear the case next month.

🩺 KENNEDY’S AUTISM BATTLE: President Trump’s health chief, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., launched a probe into environmental toxins as a potential cause of rising autism rates. ā€œWe’re getting to the truth,ā€ Kennedy told ABC News, pointing to pesticides and pollutants. His team shut down a CDC study favoring genetic causes, redirecting funds to toxin research. Critics, including former NIH officials, called the move unscientific. The initiative has sparked debate among medical experts nationwide.

šŸŒ JAPAN TARIFF TALKS: President Trump joined trade negotiations with Japan, aiming to secure deals amid escalating global trade tensions. ā€œWe’re making trade fair again,ā€ he said at the White House, flanked by advisors Bessent and Lutnick. The talks focus on reducing Japan’s reliance on Chinese imports while avoiding U.S. tariff hikes. Japan’s trade minister expressed cautious optimism for a balanced agreement. Discussions are set to continue through May.

🚨 DEPORTATION CLASH: The Trump Administration’s deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man, to an El Salvador prison sparked controversy after DHS released records alleging his MS-13 gang ties. ā€œWe’re keeping America safe,ā€ Attorney General Pam Bondi said on Fox News, citing Garcia’s 2019 arrest with gang members and domestic violence allegations. A federal judge ordered Trump’s team to facilitate Garcia’s release, citing an ā€œadministrative errorā€ in his deportation. The Supreme Court gave mixed support, upholding the order while saying the federal court judge overstepped, but El Salvador’s President Bukele has refused to comply, escalating tensions.

šŸŽ“ Trump’s Battle: Dismantling Harvard’s Elitism šŸŽ“

President Trump is waging a fierce campaign to hold Harvard University accountable, targeting what he calls its elitist and anti-American culture with unprecedented federal pressure. His administration froze $2.3 billion in research grants after Harvard refused to reform its admissions, hiring, and diversity programs, which the White House labeled ā€œantisemitic,ā€ per a White House statement. ā€œHarvard’s a joke, teaching hate,ā€ Trump posted on Truth Social, rallying supporters who see the university as out of touch. 

The IRS is now moving to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status, a move that could drain billions from its endowment. This one-two punch aims to force compliance, signaling Trump’s broader war on academic institutions he views as misaligned with national values.

The escalation didn’t stop there. Secretary Kristi Noem’s Department of Homeland Security threatened to bar Harvard from hosting international students unless it submits disciplinary records by April 30, citing ā€œillegal activitiesā€ by visa holders. Harvard President Alan Garber pushed back, calling the demands ā€œan attack on our autonomy.ā€ 

The funding freeze has forced Harvard to borrow $750 million to sustain operations, impacting research from AI to medicine. Supporters on Truth Social praised Trump’s ā€œswamp-drainingā€ resolve, with 54% of Republicans backing his education reforms, per a Rasmussen poll.

Critics are sounding alarms. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren warned, ā€œThis is a power grab,ā€ arguing Trump’s actions threaten academic freedom. Faculty groups vowed to fight the tax-exempt revocation, claiming it punishes innovation. Yet Trump’s strategy is clear: reshape institutions to align with his America-first vision. With each move, he’s redefining the fight over education’s role in the nation’s future.

šŸ€ The U.S. government sued Maine for refusing to ban transgender athletes from girls’ sports, citing federal anti-discrimination laws. Governor Janet Mills vowed to fight, calling it ā€œfederal overreachā€ on Fox News. The case could set a national precedent for school sports policies.

šŸ™ President Trump hosted faith leaders for an Easter prayer dinner, blasting efforts to ā€œerase Christian principlesā€ from America. ā€œWe’re restoring faith,ā€ he told attendees. The event drew evangelical support amid cultural debates.

šŸ“š Tennessee’s GOP advanced a bill to prioritize public education resources for American citizens, limiting access for undocumented children. ā€œWe’re putting our kids first,ā€ Senator Bill Hagerty said, emphasizing fiscal responsibility, per AP News. The measure seeks to align state schools with federal immigration priorities, sparking debate over resource allocation.

šŸ–„ļø The U.S. restricted chip exports to China’s DeepSeek AI, citing national security concerns. ā€œWe’re staying ahead,ā€ a Commerce Department official said, per Breitbart. China called it an ā€œeconomic attackā€ on its tech sector.

šŸ“¬ Hong Kong suspended postal services to the U.S. after President Trump’s 145% tariffs on Chinese goods disrupted trade. ā€œWe’re protecting workers,ā€ Trump said, per CNN, as retailers warned of holiday shipping delays. Hong Kong urged residents to use private couriers.
