✅TRACKING TRUMP✅
Curated by Mike Luso
The House voted overwhelmingly to pass legislation forcing the release of Jeffrey Epstein files, and it turns out the Democrats may have just stepped on their own landmine. Trump got behind the release with nothing to hide, while prominent Democrats are scrambling as their own Epstein connections come to light. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries solicited funding from the convicted sex offender, and a House Democrat was texting with Epstein during a hearing where she questioned Trump's former lawyer.
Meanwhile, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman rolled into Washington with serious business on his mind, boosting his investment commitment in America to nearly $1 trillion while Trump designated the kingdom as a major non-NATO ally. The president has added another beneficial alliance to his overwhelmingly successful track record on the diplomacy and the economy.
Check out all the latest developments and more below!
🏛 Trump Dismantles Department of Education
The Department of Education announced it signed six interagency agreements with the Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services, the State Department and the Department of the Interior to shift power from a handful of its offices and programs to other federal agencies. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said the Trump administration is taking bold action to break up the federal education bureaucracy and return education to the states. The Department of Labor will establish an elementary and secondary education partnership and take a growing role in managing the Education Department's higher education grant programs. The announcement follows Trump's pledge to dismantle the agency altogether, with Trump signing an executive order in March calling on McMahon to take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education and return authority over education to the states and local communities. McMahon authored an op-ed claiming the 43-day government shutdown exposed how little the Department of Education will be missed, writing that students kept going to class, teachers continued to get paid, and there were no disruptions in sports seasons or bus routes.
✈️ Trump Designates Saudi Arabia as Major Non-NATO Ally
President Trump announced that the U.S. will designate Saudi Arabia a major non-NATO ally, unveiling a defense and economic partnership with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during a White House dinner marking 80 years of U.S.-Saudi relations. Trump said Saudi Arabia agreed to boost its investment in the U.S. from $600 billion to $1 trillion, a move he said would create American jobs and further strengthen the growing alliance. Trump pointed to what he called the largest arms purchase in history at $142 billion in American military equipment and services, saying the move will make both nations safer and cement the kingdom's role as a key force for stability and security in the Middle East. The crown prince thanked Trump for the warm welcome, calling the day special and emphasizing the growing economic relationship between the two countries. Trump closed by saying the alliance marked the strongest moment in U.S.-Saudi relations since President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's meeting with King Abdul Aziz.
🌎 Trump Floats Military Strikes on Cartels in Mexico
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected the idea of U.S. military strikes against cartels on Mexican soil, responding to President Trump's comments that he would do "whatever it takes" to stop drugs from entering the U.S. Trump said he would consider authorizing U.S. strikes inside Mexico to halt the flow of drugs, calling it "OK with me" if that's what it takes to protect American lives. Sheinbaum said Mexico welcomes cooperation on security but that its sovereignty is nonnegotiable, stressing that any joint efforts must respect its authority within its own borders. The exchange came as officials from both countries worked to clarify reports of a possible U.S. incursion into Mexican territory after individuals arrived by boat on a beach in northeastern Mexico and posted signs marking the area as restricted U.S. Department of Defense property. Mexico's Foreign Affairs Ministry said the Navy removed the signs after determining they were on Mexican soil.
🤖 Trump Demands Federal AI Standards
President Trump demanded an end to excessive state-level regulation of artificial intelligence and warned that state rules will end up threatening the U.S. economy. Trump wrote on Truth Social that investment in AI is helping to make the U.S. economy the hottest in the world, but overregulation by the states is threatening to undermine this major growth engine. Trump said some states are trying to embed DEI ideology into AI models, producing "Woke AI," and that America must have one federal standard instead of a patchwork of 50 state regulatory regimes. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said GOP leaders are considering a measure to prevent what he called regulatory chaos as states advance their own rules. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis warned that overriding state authority would serve as a subsidy to Big Tech and prevent states from protecting against online censorship of political speech, predatory applications that target children, violations of intellectual property rights and data center intrusions on power and water resources.
🔔 Trump to Sign Epstein Files Transparency Bill🔔
The House of Representatives passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act by a vote of 427-1, instructing the Department of Justice to release additional files from its investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein. The Senate unanimously agreed to send the bill to President Trump's desk after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer forced a vote just hours after it passed through the House.
The resolution from Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna requires that the Department of Justice release all unclassified records, documents, communications and investigative materials publicly available in a searchable and downloadable format related to Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell within 30 days of the bill being signed into law. Trump said "I'm all for it" when asked if he would sign the bill, adding that "we have nothing to do with Epstein" and that "the Democrats do" because all of Epstein's friends were Democrats.
The bill specifically reads that "no record shall be withheld, delayed, or redacted on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity," and lacks safeguards to protect those whose names might be referenced in the government's extensive files despite no evidence or suspicion of wrongdoing. Rep. James Comer revealed that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries solicited meetings and campaign donations from Epstein after his conviction for sex crimes.
Newly released documents showed that Delegate Stacey Plaskett texted with Epstein during a February 2019 hearing while she questioned Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen, with Epstein watching the congressional hearing in real time and texting her that she looked "great" and providing her with information about Cohen's testimony. Plaskett received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Epstein during the 2016 and 2018 election cycles, years after he was convicted of procuring a child for prostitution. Harvard Professor Larry Summers, who served as Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton, announced he is stepping away from public life after emails recently made public revealed a long-term relationship with Epstein that continued after Epstein's convictions.
Trump erupted on ABC reporter Mary Bruce after she pressed him on issues involving Epstein, accusing ABC of peddling fake news and suggesting the FCC should revoke the network's broadcast license. Trump insisted he had nothing to do with the convicted sex offender, whom he called a "sick pervert" he kicked out of his club many years ago, then invoked the names of several Democrats and public figures he claims were close to Epstein, saying they were with him "every single night, every single weekend."
Trump also argued in a Truth Social post that if the Democrats had anything, it would have been released before the landslide election victory. The only Republican to vote against the bill was Rep. Clay Higgins, who said the legislation "abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America" and warned that it "reveals and injures thousands of innocent people - witnesses, people who provided alibis, family members."
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. The Oversight Committee has already released well over 60,000 pages of documents from the Epstein case, with that effort continuing in a manner that provides all due protections for innocent Americans.
Trump's willingness to release everything stands in stark contrast to Democrats who suddenly find themselves exposed for maintaining relationships with Epstein long after his crimes became public knowledge.

⛪ Pope Leo XIV strongly affirmed U.S. bishops' message condemning the Trump administration's immigration sweeps, calling on Americans to treat migrants humanely and with dignity. The bishops blasted President Trump's mass deportation agenda and the vilification of migrants, expressing concern over fear and anxiety immigration raids are stoking in communities. Leo said people living good lives for 10, 15, 20 years are being treated in a way that is extremely disrespectful to say the least, though he acknowledged problems with the U.S. migration system and that every country may choose who can enter.
⚡ The Department of Energy announced a $1 billion loan to Baltimore-based Constellation Energy to restart a nuclear reactor at the Three Mile Island site in Pennsylvania that has the potential to power as many as 800,000 homes on renewable power. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the administration wants to bring as much net addition of dispatchable, reliable electricity onto the grid to stop price rises in electricity and increase American capacity to generate firm, reliable electricity. The 800MW potential of the site is crucial to supporting regional power grid facilitator PJM with stable, affordable baseload power, with the project potentially coming to fruition as early as 2027.
🗳 A panel of three federal judges blocked Texas from using a new congressional map drawn by Republicans in hopes of securing the party additional seats in the 2026 midterm elections, ruling 2-1 that the map appeared to constitute an illegal, race-based gerrymander. The ruling requires lawmakers in the Lone Star State to revert to an earlier congressional map that the state legislature had adopted in 2021. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton vowed to appeal the ruling to the Supreme Court and seek an emergency stay that would temporarily stay the lower court's ruling.
💰 President Trump ripped insurance companies in a Truth Social post, declaring that the only healthcare policy he would be willing to greenlight would involve funds flowing directly to Americans with nothing going to the big, fat, rich insurance companies. Trump wrote that the people will be allowed to negotiate and buy their own, much better insurance, urging Congress not to waste time and energy on anything else. Sen. Rick Scott responded by indicating he agreed and that he's writing the bill right now to stop taxpayer money from going to insurance companies and instead give it directly to Americans in HSA-style accounts.
🏫 The number of immigrant students in many deep blue U.S. cities is on the downturn as President Trump's immigration policies continue to roll out across the country. Miami-Dade school district reported only 2,550 children of immigrants entering the system, a massive shift from the 14,000 reported during Biden's last year and the 20,000 seen the year before that. Denver found 400 new students of migrant families enrolling this year, a big swing downward from the 1,500 seen last year, while foreign student enrollment at colleges and universities is down 17 percent this year.
