Last month, Trump signed an executive order directing federal election-related funds to be conditioned on states “complying with the integrity measures set forth by Federal law, including the requirement that states use the national mail voter registration form that will now require proof of citizenship.”

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced during a Cabinet meeting last week at the White House that voting machines across the U.S. are not secure.

“We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time, and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast,” she said about a half hour into the meeting.

 

Gabbard’s remarks confirm what millions of Americans have long suspected about elections across the U.S.

President Donald Trump himself has maintained skepticism of current voting methods and has called for paper ballots to prevent cheating.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was one of only a few voices to publicly argue that voting machines, like those run by Dominion and Smartmatic which were used during the 2020 presidential election, were compromised. GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor-Greene took to X to praise the businessman after Gabbard made her remarks.

“Mike Lindell along with MANY others vindicated!!” she exclaimed on X. “Another conspiracy theory being proven right! Guess what Democrats already knew this and publicly talked about it in 2019! And then lied and lied and lied!!!”

 

Last month, Trump signed an executive order directing federal election-related funds to be conditioned on states “complying with the integrity measures set forth by Federal law, including the requirement that states use the national mail voter registration form that will now require proof of citizenship.”

Congress has also taken steps to ensure election integrity by voting on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (also known as the SAVE Act) last week. Dubbed “controversial” by the media and left-wing groups, the common sense bill would require persons to show proof of citizenship before voting. The House approved the measure 220-208 with four Democrats in support. The bill now heads to the Senate where it will face an uphill battle for the required 60 votes. Republicans currently have a 53 seat majority.

Trump says Ukraine war may need to play out before peace is possible

Published on

Quick Hit:

While hosting Germany’s chancellor Thursday, President Trump likened the war between Russia and Ukraine to two angry kids fighting in a park, suggesting both sides might need to “keep fighting and suffering” before peace is possible.

Key Details:

  • Trump told reporters he recently used a playground fight analogy to describe the Russia-Ukraine war, saying, “Sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart.”

  • He said Putin told him that Ukraine’s latest sabotage operations—including drone strikes deep in Russia and another bombing of the Kerch Strait bridge—would prompt more Russian attacks.

  • Trump said he warned Putin not to escalate further: “Don’t do it. You shouldn’t do it. You should stop it,” but admitted, “There’s a lot of hatred.”

Diving Deeper:

During a meeting in the Oval Office on Thursday with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, President Trump drew a provocative comparison between the war in Ukraine and a playground scuffle, suggesting the conflict may need more time before a resolution is possible. Trump said both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are locked in a bitter struggle that, in his view, mirrors “two young children fighting like crazy” who “don’t want to be pulled apart.”

The president told reporters he had used that same analogy in a private conversation with Putin just a day earlier. “Sometimes you’re better off letting them fight for a while and then pulling them apart,” Trump said, adding that he told the Russian leader, “Maybe you have to keep fighting and suffering a lot—because both sides are suffering—before you pull them apart.”

According to Trump, Putin responded by indicating that more Russian strikes were imminent in response to recent Ukrainian covert actions. Trump said Putin justified his plans by referencing Ukraine’s drone attacks on Russian bombers and another strike on the strategic bridge linking Crimea to mainland Russia. “He actually told me and made it very clear,” Trump recalled, quoting Putin as saying: “We have no choice but to attack based on that, and it’s probably not going to be pretty.”

Trump, for his part, said he urged Putin to stand down. “I don’t like it. I said, ‘Don’t do it. You shouldn’t do it. You should stop it.’ But again, there’s a lot of hatred,” he said.

While still framing himself as the one figure capable of brokering peace, he’s shown increasing frustration with both sides. In February, Trump reportedly described Zelensky as a “dictator without elections,” underscoring skepticism about continued U.S. support. But he’s also criticized Putin directly, accusing him last month of going “absolutely CRAZY” for bombing Ukrainian civilian areas.

National Guardsmen arrive in response to LA’s ‘violent mobs’

National Guard troops arrived Sunday morning in downtown Los Angeles after more violence erupted overnight during the weekend’s riots.

A crowd threw lit fireworks and other objects Saturday night at federal detention officers standing in a line on Alameda Street near the Metropolitian Detention Center in Los Angeles, as seen in televised reports by local media. The officers wore armor, face shields and gas masks. Los Angeles police and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office arrived later.

In response to earlier “violent mobs” attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Los Angeles, the White House announced Saturday evening that the president was deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen in response to the violence. Members of the National Guard arrived around 4 a.m. local time Sunday, according to media reports.

Multiple videos circulated Saturday on social media showing stones being thrown at a convoy of ICE vehicles through the streets of Paramount, minutes from downtown Los Angeles. Another video appears to show a mob surrounding a federal law enforcement bus.

In a late-night statement Saturday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to “address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester.” She pointed fingers at California’s Democratic leadership for allowing the violence to continue.

“In recent days, violent mobs have attacked ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles, California. These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California’s feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens,” Leavitt stated.

The press secretary underscored the administration’s commitment to restoring law and order while sending a clear signal that suspected attackers will be brought to justice.

“The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs. These criminals will be arrested and swiftly brought to justice. The Commander-in-Chief will ensure the laws of the United States are executed fully and completely,” she concluded.

The violent eruptions come a day after Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass released a statement reiterating the city’s sanctuary status, adding that the city won’t stand for immigration enforcement.

“This morning, we received reports of federal immigration enforcement actions in multiple locations in Los Angeles. As Mayor of a proud city of immigrants, who contribute to our city in so many ways, I am deeply angered by what has taken place. These tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city. My Office is in close coordination with immigrant rights community organizations. We will not stand for this,” Bass stated.

In response, FBI Director Kash Patel reposted the mayor’s statement on X, simply saying, “We will.”

Patel reiterated in another social media post on Saturday night that anyone engaging in violent acts would be arrested, indicating federal law enforcement would protect ICE officers.

“Hit a cop, you’re going to jail … doesn’t matter where you came from, how you got here, or what movement speaks to you. If the local police force won’t back our men and women on the thin blue line, we [the] FBI will,” Patel posted on X.

Gov. Gavin Newsom reacted to the National Guard deployment with a post on X.

“The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle,” Newsom said. “Don’t give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.”

The violent uprising in Los Angeles comes days after minority leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., demanded that ICE agents should be unmasked and their identities revealed, comparing them to the Soviet Union.

“Every single ICE agent who’s engaged in this aggressive overreach and are trying to hide their identities from the American people will be unsuccessful in doing that. This is America. Not the Soviet Union. We’re not behind the Iron Curtain. This is not the 1930s. And every single one of them. No matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes, will of course be identified,” Jeffries said during a press conference.

This is a developing story.
