A Texas man arrested for allegedly planning a “mass casualty event” against law enforcement was “transitioning” genders, a police source confirmed to the Caller. The FBI’s Houston office announced Monday that it arrested Seth “Andrea” Gregori after he allegedly plotted an attack against police “similar to the 2016 Dallas ambush.” In that 2016 attack, Micah Xavier Johnson ambushed police officers in Dallas, Texas, killing five and wounding nine more in a mass shooting. Johnson was reportedly angry over white police officers shooting black suspects.

Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust (FACT), an ethics watchdog, is asking for an investigation into a Democrat senator.
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, is being accused of violating ethics rules after reportedly backing legislation that helped enrich his own wife. FACT is asking the Senate Select Committee on Ethics to look into whether Sandra Whitehouse’s environmental organization financially benefitted from her husband’s political positions, and “whether he violated the Senate ethics rules on conflicts of interest.”
Mrs. Whitehouse has worked for consulting firm Ocean Wonks LLC as the president since 2017, prior to which she was a Senior Policy Adviser at Ocean Conservancy starting in 2008.
A 74-year-old Texas rancher has been killed after driving over an IED planted by a cartel on his land in Mexico, 80 miles south of the US border. Antonio Céspedes Saldierna died when his vehicle triggered the explosive device in Santa Rita, Tamaulipas, on Friday, police told ABC affiliate KRGV. The rancher lived just over the border from Mexico in the town of Brownsville. The explosion also killed a man in the same truck and injured a woman.

House Republicans adopted a blueprint for President Trump’s sweeping legislative agenda package Tuesday night, managing to hold onto their slim majority despite repeated threats from recalcitrant members to derail it.
The framework cleared the House in a 217–215 vote, paving the way for the GOP to unlock the legislative process and begin drafting Trump’s marquee agenda.Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) was the sole Republican to oppose the measure.
The blueprint, also known as a budget resolution, features committee assignments to slash $1.5 trillion and potentially up to $2 trillion in spending while allowing for $4.5 trillion added to the deficit from tax cuts over 10 years and $300 billion in beefed-up spending
Conservative journalist and activist Nick Sortor ambushed California Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell with the kind of hard-hitting questions the mainstream media refuses to ask.
While he has repeatedly smeared Musk as a “fascist” and a “national security threat,” he went silent when confronted by Sortor about his own compromised national security risk—his well-documented intimate ties to a Chinese spy.
According to Sortor, Swalwell met with lobbyists at the Four Seasons restaurant on Monday evening and allegedly boasted about cheating on his wife, orgies on Capitol Hill, and abusing his power as a Congressman.
Roberta Flack started out as a little girl with big dreams and tremendous talent, whose life took unexpected turns. Those turns led to a prolific and storied music career, and whether you are a Baby Boomer, Gen X, or a Millennial, her songwriting and ballads have been a pivotal part of the soundtrack of our lives.
An ALS diagnosis later in life stilled Flack's voice, and the memory of her dulcet tones is all that is left in the silence. On Monday, Roberta Flack died at the age of 88. [Tweet]

Washington—President Trump announced Tuesday that the US government will soon begin selling $5 million “gold cards” that convey both green-card residency status and a path to American citizenship to foreigners — predicting 1 million cards will be sold and saying the initiative could quickly pay down the national debt.
“It’s somewhat like a green card, but at a higher level of sophistication. It’s a road to citizenship for people, and essentially people of wealth or people of great talent,” Trump said in the Oval Office.
“We’re going to be putting a price on that card of about $5 million and that’s going to give you green card privileges-plus,” the president added
Washington—More than 20 civil service employees resigned Tuesday from billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, saying they were refusing to use their technical expertise to “dismantle critical public services.”
“We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,” the 21 staffers wrote in a joint resignation letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press. “However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments.”
The employees also warned that many of those enlisted by Musk to help him slash the size of the federal government under President Donald Trump’s administration were political ideologues who
President Donald Trump has called on the company behind the Keystone XL pipeline to return to America and finish the project. And he's promising a fast-track process to get the job done.
On his first day in office, former President Joe Biden signed a series of executive orders that included revoking “permits signed over the past 4 years that do not serve the U.S. national interest, including revoking the Presidential permit granted to the Keystone XL pipeline.”

President Donald Trump surprised guests at the first White House tour of the year Tuesday, drawing a "USA!" chant after thanking them for visiting.
"I want to thank you very much for coming. The tour is so great... the First Lady worked very hard in making it perfect and I think you are going to really love it," Trump was heard telling the group in a video shared by the White House. "And I heard you were here and I said ‘let’s stop by and say hello.’"
"It's a group of very smart looking people I must say, very smart, maybe someday you'll be here as the president, right?"
With the notorious “far-right” Alternative für Deutschland winning 20.7 percent of the vote in the German elections -- up from 10.4 percent in 2021 -- and becoming the number two party, it is clearly the end of the world as we know it. But really, dear moderate German leaders, what do you expect a couple of days after another knife attack by an “asylum seeker?” Of course, maybe there wasn’t a knife attack. Maybe the whole thing was disinformation by bad actors on social media financed by operatives of USAID. Where are those three earnest German prosecutors dug up by 60 Minutes when you need them?
FBI Director Kash Patel has launched an investigation into former Director James Comey’s secret “honeypot” operation involving 2 female undercover agents who targeted President Trump’s 2016 campaign, according to The Washington Times.
Last October it was revealed that according to an FBI whistleblower, former Director James Comey inserted two female agents inside the Trump campaign in 2016.
The Washington Times reported that the female agents were directed to act as “honeypots” and travel with Trump and his staff.
This was an “off-the-books” operation and was separate from Comey and Obama’s Crossfire Hurricane operation

The White House said Tuesday that its officials “will determine” which news outlets can regularly cover President Donald Trump up close — a sharp break from a century of tradition in which a pool of independently chosen news organizations go where the chief executive does and hold him accountable on behalf of regular Americans.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the changes would rotate traditional outlets from the group and include some streaming services. Leavitt cast the change as a modernization of the press pool, saying the move would be more inclusive and restore “access back to the American people”

As part of the lightning-quick reshaping of the federal government (or at least, the executive branch) undertaken in his second administration, President Donald Trump has made a point of stripping security clearances from former government officials and their cohorts — namely those who had a hand in weaponizing the government against him and others. For starters, he yanked the security clearances from the 51 "spies who lied" about the Hunter Biden laptop. Then came General Mark Milley (who got to pair his yanked clearance with his preemptive pardon from former President Joe Biden). Then came Biden himself.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Tuesday that the White House would now determine which reporters make up the press 'pool' - the group of journalists allowed into tight spaces like the Oval Office and Air Force One. Pool assignments had been in the hands of the White House Correspondents' Association - a membership organization for White House journalists from an array of outlets - to keep the White House from gatekeeping access.[Snip] Leavitt claimed during Tuesday's briefing that the new move would 'give even greater access to the American people.'
Washington — President Trump suggested Tuesday that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky may pay a visit to the White House later this week to sign off on an economic agreement that would allow the US to reap benefits of Ukraine’s supply of rare earth minerals.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has agreed to a draft of a minerals deal with the White House on Tuesday, according to reports. Reuters reported on Tuesday that the Ukrainian leader plans to travel to D.C. on Friday to meet with President Donald Trump after the officials agreed to the terms of the deal.
The pact, which would involve giving the U.S. access to natural resources in exchange for America’s support of Ukraine amid its war with Russia, was days in the making. Trump said on Friday that his administration was "pretty close" to striking a deal, and on Monday, he hinted that a meeting between him and Zelenskyy was imminent.
A 'Constitutional Crisis'?
replies
Democrats are raising an alarm about what they call a "constitutional crisis." If there is one, they should know because they are to blame for it. That's because their party, since the days of Franklin Roosevelt, have been violating the boundaries and restrictions on government set forth in our founding document.
The Founders wanted government to be limited so the people would be able to achieve their highest aspirations consistent with hard work and their talents.
Much of life has boundaries and rules that when violated bring consequences. Think of speed limits, boundaries in sports, even rules while playing cards and board games.
Think back to 2012 with me: the Tea Party was roaring across the country. Americans were carrying around pocket Constitutions and demanding spending cuts. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan was touting the GOP "Path to Prosperity."
And Democrats pounced.
A left-wing group, the Agenda Project Action Fund, aired an ad showing a character representing Ryan pushing Grandma off the cliff. [Video]
The Left wailed and writhed, claiming that Republicans were trying to "end Medicare as we know it" and destroy Social Security.

House Republicans on Tuesday advanced a framework for President Trump’s “big, beautiful” agenda package on taxes, border security, energy supply and more, teeing up a final floor vote on the measure as soon as Tuesday evening.
In a 217–211 vote, Republicans green-lit a rule needed to enable a full floor vote on the blueprint budget resolution, which is required to unlock the legislative process for Republicans to begin working on the marquee Trump agenda package.
The House budget resolution lays out committee assignments to cut at least $1.5 trillion and potentially up to $2 trillion. Then it allows for the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee to
LIBERTY COUNTY, Texas — Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers arrested a three-time deported Salvadoran illegal alien on charges of repeated sexual abuse of a child. The arrest occurred during a targeted enforcement operation in Colony Ridge — the largest migrant colony in Texas.
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducts routine, daily enforcement alongside our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners throughout the Houston community to bolster public safety, national security, and border security,” ICE officials told Breitbart Texas. “As a direct result of those efforts, ICE and the Texas Department of Public Safety arrested Florentin Chevez-Luna,
Conservatives have been saying for years that MSNBC platforms some of the most racist people in the Pravda Media--and until recently, the market for racism has been booming. So much so that the demand for racism exceeded the supply.
It was good to be Ta-Nehesi Coates. It was good to be Hannah Nicole-Jones. And it was good to be Joy-Ann Reid and the racists at MSNBC. What made MSNBC unique was that racism was its primary product, and even when it seemed to deviate from that frame, it always attached racism to ancillary topics like Trump is Bad Orange Man. One main reason was, of course, that he was
Monday on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed she had discovered some of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials who were tipping off criminal illegal aliens about the agency’s deportation efforts.
Noem said those “leakers” have been fired.
“Do you have an update?” host Sean Hannity. “Are we finding any of the people that are responsible for tipping off these gang members or cartel members that are in the country illegally and hence putting ICE officials lives in jeopardy because they lose the element of surprise. Any update in terms of who’s been tipping them off?”
“Absolutely, Sean,” Noem replied. “I have found some leakers.

Apple’s iPhone voice-to-text feature is sparking controversy after a viral TikTok video showed a user speaking the word "racist," which at first showed up as "Trump" before switching back to "racist."
Fox News Digital was able to replicate the issue multiple times. The voice-to-text dictation feature was observed briefly flashing "Trump" when a user said "racist" before it quickly changed back to "racist" – just like in the viral TikTok video.
However, "Trump" did not appear every time a user said "racist."
The voice-to-text feature also wrote words like "reinhold" and "you" when a user said "racist." Most of the time, the feature accurately wrote "racist."
On Monday, The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft interviewed former Proud Boys Chairman and J6 Political prisoner Enrique Tarrio.
This was Enrique’s first major interview since he was released from prison on January 22, 2025, by President Donald J. Trump.
The entire interview is filled with new information and shocking details on how the Biden Regime, Democrats, and the legacy media OPENLY LIED to the American public to create an entire narrative on January 6, 2021, that was completely false.
As liberals whine and sue to block DOGE from accessing obtaining government department records, a damning report released today has exposed that the Biden regime exposed hundreds of thousands of Americans to potential fraud and identity theft, including President Trump.
The House Judiciary Committee released a new disclosure today that revealed the IRS under Joe Biden leaked taxpayer records of over 400,000 innocent Americans. The committee notes that Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) launched an investigation into information leaks last year.
The committee also reveals that in May 2024, an IRS spokesman attempted to downplay a leak that exposed this information.

‘processing camps’ for migrant deportations: report replies
The Trump administration received a $25 billion pitch from prominent defense contractors to set up military-style “processing camps” to help carry out mass migrant deportations, a new report says.
The aggressive blueprint, spearheaded by the likes of former Blackwater CEO Erik Prince and COO Bill Mathews, aims to use a range of tactics to swiftly boot 12 million illegal migrants from the US before the 2026 midterms.
As part of the proposal, the contractors fired off a list of Army bases that would be suitable to build “camps” that could be up-and-running “in less than one week.”
In addition to the camps, the pitch also lays out the need for
Government agencies censured anti-deportation activists after they revealed sensitive information about multiple federal immigration enforcement agents in California.
Multiple flyers displayed across the Los Angeles area recently leaked the names, faces, and job descriptions of at least four people employed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security.
“Careful with These Faces,” one flyer reads.
“These armed agents work in Southern California. ICE and HSI racially terrorize and criminalize entire communities with their policies. They kidnap people from their homes and from the streets, separating families and fracturing communities. Many people have died while locked up in jails, prisons, and detention centers,” the flyer continues.

I'm pretty sure that the agency is lying about not knowing because if that is the case they should fire all the top brass and their deputies and start over with something other than the DEI crowd.
Republicans in the House Judiciary Committee are claiming that a new disclosure reveals that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) leaked a larger amount of taxpayer data than previously admitted, and that information about President Donald Trump is among them.

Happy Tuesday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Lerzweinel was never comfortable with the clogging demands made on him during the annual "Pomegranates and Fedoras" festival.
There are a lot of recurring themes here in the early, whirlwind days of President Trump's second term. One of them is that the Democrats are more pathetic than most people after an election loss.

As night follows day, Democrats and their champions in the mainstream press have started trotting out their shopworn horror stories about budget cuts. And why not?

Washington—President Donald Trump said Monday that his tariffs on Canada and Mexico are starting next month, ending a monthlong suspension on the planned import taxes that could potentially hurt economic growth and worsen inflation.

While Trump was answering a specific question about the taxes to be charged on America’s two largest trading partners, the U.S. president also stressed more broadly that his intended “reciprocal” tariffs were on schedule to begin as soon as April.

DOGE chief Elon Musk teased Monday that federal workers may receive a second email asking them to list their weekly accomplishments – and that failure to respond to it will result in “termination.”
The Tesla and SpaceX founder’s warning came hours after the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) notified human resource bosses across multiple agencies that responses to emails sent Saturday –demanding a list of five bullet points detailing what federal workers achieved in the previous five working days — were “voluntary” and that failure to respond would not be taken as a resignation, as Musk had claimed.

RIP, Joy Reid

Thus passes the glory of America’s vaunted voice of cable news moderation. Soon-to-be former MSNBC host Joy Reid, otherwise known as Joy Anne Weave, broke down on a Zoom call Monday after her show, “The ReidOut,” was canceled by the struggling liberal network. In one of her final tear-soaked diatribes, before her show is officially dead and gone, she congratulated herself on her steadfast bravery and pretended as if her abysmal ratings did not exist.
A data scientist with ties to DOGE chief Elon Musk declared Monday that she believes “over $100 billion” in taxpayer dollars are being wasted or stolen by federal employees at government agencies.
The tech expert is using artificial intelligence to expose cases of government waste, fraud and abuse and goes by “DataRepublican” on X, where her posts are regularly shared by billionaire Tesla and SpaceX founder.
“Whew,” the woman, who is deaf, said through an interpreter when asked by NewsNation’s Brian Entin about how much federal cash she believes is being wasted or stolen based on her efforts poring over public databases.
On Monday, President Trump held a joint press conference with the President of France, Emmanuel Macron. Both national leaders spoke, and both answered (unscripted, unscreened) questions from the media present. The primary topic was the Russo-Ukrainian War.
Here are some highlights.
President Trump expressed, again, serious concern about the war between Ukraine and Russia:
This very day is the third anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine which would never have happened if I was president, that was not going to happen. The horrors of this gruesome and bloody war can scarcely be overestimated, hundreds of thousands of people, Russians and Ukrainians in particular, needlessly died. An entire generation of Ukrainian and Russian men

Democrats believe that the Trump administration has overreached and is rapidly becoming unpopular. Thus, the New York Times headlines: “Republicans Face Angry Voters at Town Halls, Hinting at Broader Backlash.”
After a monthlong honeymoon for the G.O.P. at the start of President Trump’s term, lawmakers are confronting a groundswell of fear and disaffection in districts around the country.
Longtime Democratic consultant James Carville says that the Trump administration is in the “midst of a collapse” and will crumble in the next four to six weeks. He cites polling data in support of that optimistic (for his party) prediction. The Democrats think, in particular, that Elon Musk is unpopular
The George Pickett example might be apt, but not in the way that James Carville thinks. We'll get to the polls shortly, but for now let's just say that the Ragin' Cajun is getting high off his own supply. He might have read a recent Washington Post analysis highlighting a secondary outcome of an outlier poll, to which I'd advise Carville to check his sources.
Anyway ... chaser: This is why the idea that the Trump administration will collapse is absurd. First, Trump isn't even losing on the stays consistently. The first few forays threw up some roadblocks, but judges have relented on some of those now too.
