Former President Trump has openly criticized Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt’s endorsement of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for the 2024 presidential race. Trump, who supported Stitt in his 2018 gubernatorial race, highlighted his historic win in Oklahoma in 2016 and Stitt’s need for his endorsement to win his own race. The criticism comes after DeSantis’s campaign visit to Oklahoma, where he received backing from several key state figures. Despite this, Trump’s considerable support in Oklahoma is evident and could play a crucial role in the upcoming election.

Ahead of former President Donald Trump’s court appearance in Miami, law enforcement agencies are ramping up security measures to ensure safety and protect First Amendment rights. The heightened security follows nationwide outbreaks of leftist violence in response to Trump’s previous court appearances. Police have already installed barricades around the courthouse, and authorities are monitoring potential threats of further protests, including potential violence aimed at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. This move shows that law enforcement officials are taking these threats seriously, prepared to maintain law and order.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, in a strong stand against perceived governmental overreach, has announced plans to write an appropriations rider to defund Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office and the ongoing investigation into former President Donald Trump. Greene aims to cut funding for this investigation, launched by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, which focuses on Trump’s role in the January 6 Capitol attack and his handling of government records. Greene’s bold move calls for the support of a majority in both the House and Senate and is seen as a fight to defend President Trump from what she deems as weaponization of government.

The US-Mexico border crisis escalates, with Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz revealing a shocking thousand percent surge in migrant inflow from countries like Afghanistan and China. This comes amidst fierce criticism of the Biden administration’s perceived lack of a robust border policy. With 1.5 million undocumented migrant crossings since Biden’s inauguration, compared to 415,000 during Trump’s three years, public disapproval sits at 63%, according to a recent CBS News survey. Despite this, Biden’s administration has expanded the monthly limit of foreign nationals using the CBP One app for asylum appointments to 40,000.

A recent CBS News poll shows former President Donald Trump as the GOP’s top choice for the 2024 presidential race, despite his indictment by the Justice Department. Trump boasts 61% of Republican primary voter support, overshadowing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis by 38 points. These figures reflect not just Trump’s enduring popularity among GOP voters, but also widespread disenchantment with the political establishment. Allegations against Trump are seen by his supporters as politically motivated, not a national security risk, with many believing he should remain eligible for presidency even if convicted.

The SEC Stabilization Act, a bill proposed by conservative House Republicans Warren Davidson and Tom Emmer, seeks to reform the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and oust Chairman Gary Gensler. Accusing Gensler of “abuses” and “tyrannical” leadership, the bill promises to redistribute power to other commissioners, add a sixth commissioner, and limit the influence of any single political party. It also introduces an executive director position to oversee daily operations. The Act aims to curtail inconsistencies and establish transparent, balanced representation, thus protecting investors and creating a more regulated market.
