SCOOP: @SecRollins is today directing USDA to end dairy checkoff funding for ideological ESG agendas. The move ends the use of dairy farmer dollars, obtained through mandatory checkoff assessments, for climate agenda purposes. “Those days are over."

POTUS on the Butler assassination: “Everybody knows the Crooked Joe Biden FBI didn’t do what they should have with respect to the Lunatic who shot me in Butler, PA. By the time I got into Office, on January 20th, most of the information was missing, altered, corrupted, or gone. New info was just found! Why wasn’t it seen long ago? This was all a Democrat Plot, to get me out of the Election, that failed. Dirty Cop Christopher Wray should pay a price for the way he handled this assassination attempt, and certainly for the things he said.”

SCOOP: A nonpartisan federal watchdog on Tuesday revealed that Obamacare subsidizes abortions, upending a longtime Dem talking point, @realDailyWire can first report. John Thune and his fellow Republicans are sounding the alarm:

NEW: @VP announces from Kansas City that the Trump admin has banned 870,000 individuals from ever obtaining federal loans after they were found to be tied to millions in fraud. "If you screwed the American taxpayer, the federal government is now going to say you're cut off,” Vance says. “No more."

Good afternoon from FBI Kansas City, where Vice President JD Vance, Attorney General Todd Blanche, and FBI Director Kash Patel will take the stage shortly to make a major fraud announcement. I’m here on the ground with @realdailywire, traveling with the Justice Department today!

DOJ wants to send a message that America's food supply is "nonnegotiable," @realdailywire has learned. “Abbott will pay a substantial sum to resolve serious allegations it violated federal health and safety requirements designed to protect babies," says Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter.

Leonard Leo on this news: “The ballroom case is really about who can sue in federal court, and there’s no question that the plaintiff here can’t. For decades the Left has been abusing standing doctrine to push its agenda through our federal courts, and the Court has an opportunity here to put an end to that abuse."

"An illegal immigrant from El Salvador is accused of fatally stabbing a Virginia mother before dumping her lifeless body near a jogging trail in Great Falls, Virginia, The Daily Wire has learned." Reporting from @JennieSTaer

Blanche confirmation update: The DOJ told Cornyn and Tillis in writing that the Anti-Weaponization Fund is “rescinded and shall have no force or effect,” source familiar tells me. Blanche’s conversations with the senators have been going very well, until this Truth from Trump angered Tillis (who is publicly blaming “an incompetent personal advisor to the President” who “refuses to amend the bogus settlement”).

POTUS makes it clear Spain's "catastrophe" will be a midterm talking point: "It looks like an invasion of a country by hundreds of thousands of people. And that same thing will happen to us if the Republicans don’t get elected, except worse. Much bigger...If we’re not in office, our country will be invaded at levels that made Spain look small time." Adds later: "They say that will be a talking point for the mid-terms because when you look at what happened to Spain. They don’t know what to do. It is happening again today. Coming in by the tens of thousands. They are just invading the country....That will look good compared to what will happen to the United States."

NEW: Claire Lai weighs in to @realDailyWire on news that President Donald Trump advocated for her father to President Xi Jinping. “True to his word, President Trump brought my father up to President Xi. I remain endlessly grateful for the support he and his administration has shown to securing his freedom,” she says. “An ailing man turning 79, who was always pro democracy, anti violence, anti independence, and just wanted the promises made in the Sino British joint declaration, which China signed in the exercise of its sovereignty to be kept. We hope the Holy Spirit will move President Xi’s heart.” “I remain confident it is President Trump and his administration who will free my father. In the meantime I know Our Lord and the Blessed Mother will continue to watch over him as they always have.”
