While the left spent Mother’s Day doing what it always does, treating pregnancy as a political problem and motherhood as a talking point, President Donald Trump did something concrete. His administration launched Moms.gov, a brand-new federal website built specifically for new and expecting mothers, packed with real resources instead of slogans. The Department of Health and Human Services announced the launch on Saturday, calling it a first-of-its-kind resource for mothers and families. It connects women to pregnancy centers, health clinics, nutritional guidance, mental health support, adoption information, and the Trump Accounts program that puts $1,000 from the U.S. Treasury into an investment account for eligible children. This is what pro-family policy looks like when the people in charge actually believe families matter. Trump Administration Launches Moms dot gov for New and Expecting Mothershttps://t.co/4iOcjQFEdi — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) May 11, 2026 The HHS press release laid out what the site offers and why it was built: On Mother’s Day, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services launched Moms.gov, a groundbreaking website for new and expecting mothers. This first-of-its-kind resource offers guidance and information to support the health and well-being of mothers and their families. Moms.gov also supports expecting parents who are navigating difficult or unexpected pregnancies. It features information about pregnancy centers, Federally Qualified Health Centers, nutritional guidance, Trump Accounts, and other resources that allow maternal and infant health to thrive. HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said the Trump Administration is strengthening its commitment to America’s families by equipping mothers and fathers with the resources and information they need to build healthy, prosperous lives. Deputy Assistant Secretary for Women’s Health Dorothy Fink, MD, said HHS has reduced maternal mortality by 41.5% through its Perinatal Improvement Collaborative and remains committed to supporting women’s health throughout motherhood and every stage of life. The site features support services and health centers, nutrition quick facts, Trump Accounts, TrumpRx, resources for women and parents, preconception health, breastfeeding, mental health, and adoption. Secretary Kennedy framed the site as part of the Make America Healthy Again agenda, calling it a tool to help parents “foster healthy pregnancies, strengthen young families, and create brighter futures for their children.” That 41.5% reduction in maternal mortality is a number you will never see on CNN. Dig into the site itself and you find something rare for a government website: actual usefulness. Moms.gov walks mothers through a wide range of resources with real detail: Moms.gov introduces itself as a resource for new and expecting mothers, addressing the needs of mothers and fathers who face difficult or unexpected pregnancies while ensuring the wellbeing of mothers and the health of American families. The site says pregnancy centers provide supportive services for mothers and families, and that many centers offer pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, STD/STI testing and treatment, parenting support, childbirth classes, medical referrals, and material goods like clothes and diapers at no cost. There are more than 2,750 pregnancy centers across the country. The site also explains that Federally Qualified Health Centers serve medically underserved areas and populations in all U.S. states, territories, and D.C., providing primary care, maternal care, and prenatal care regardless of ability to pay, with about 1,400 FQHCs and 16,200 service sites. Additional resources include nutrition quick facts for mothers, folic acid guidance, nutrient-dense food recommendations, Trump Accounts, TrumpRx, preconception health, breastfeeding information, infant and toddler nutrition, mental health resources for mothers, adoption information, Early Head Start, child welfare and sleep safety resources, and the 1-833-TLC-MAMA support line for pregnant and new moms. More than 2,750 pregnancy centers. Over 16,200 FQHC service sites. A dedicated phone line for pregnant and new moms. Breastfeeding support, mental health resources, adoption information, Early Head Start, even free diapers and clothes through local centers. This is the kind of infrastructure the abortion lobby pretends does not exist because acknowledging it would undercut their entire argument. Then there is the money. One of the most tangible features on Moms.gov is its connection to the Trump Accounts program, which gives families a direct financial boost from the federal government. TrumpAccounts.gov spells out how it works: TrumpAccounts.gov describes Trump Accounts as tax-advantaged investment accounts designed to jumpstart the American Dream. The administration is building long-term financial security for millions of children by creating tax-advantaged investment accounts for U.S. citizens under the age of 18. Eligible children can receive $1,000 from the U.S. Treasury Department. Specifically, families can get $1,000 for every American child born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028. The account is fully in the child’s name and the parent is the sole custodian until the child turns 18. No contributions are necessary, although parents can deposit up to $5,000 per year to maximize growth. The program launches July 4, 2026. Funds will be invested in American companies, children can learn financial literacy as they get older, and at 18 the account is theirs to continue growing or use for things like education or a home with traditional IRA tax advantages. THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING. The Trump Administration is supporting American families like never before with Trump Accounts, helping give the next generation a jumpstart toward their future. https://t.co/iZOqExKN6o

Twenty-two people between the ages of 12 and 21 were arrested Friday night after a large group attempted a “teen takeover” at Curtis Hixon Park in downtown Tampa, according to the Tampa Police Department. Officers said the gathering quickly escalated into fights, traffic disruptions, and criminal activity that threatened the safety of bystanders and the surrounding community. Police deployed patrol officers, bike units, and Air Service personnel to bring the situation under control. Two firearms and one vehicle connected to the disturbance were seized during the operation. Fox News picked up footage from the scene after Tampa police released the arrest numbers and video from the operation: A violent “teen takeover” resulted in 22 arrests, mostly of individuals under the age of 18, in Tampa, Florida. Police seized two guns during the operation. pic.twitter.com/DGNiLV0aon — Fox News (@FoxNews) May 11, 2026 Tampa Police Chief Lee Bercaw issued a blunt warning after the arrests, telling parents they need to know where their children are and who they are with. The City of Tampa provided details on the operation in an official release: Tampa Police arrested 22 people between the ages of 12 and 21 as part of a teen takeover on Friday night, May 8, 2026. Police said a large group attempted to take over the area of Curtis Hixon Park, causing significant disruptions, fights, and other issues in the park. The department responded with patrol officers, bike units, and Air Service personnel to restore order and protect the surrounding community. Chief Lee Bercaw said the reckless and criminal behavior would not be tolerated, adding that what began as a large gathering quickly escalated into disorder and activity that placed others at risk. The operation resulted in 22 arrests on charges including affray, possession of narcotics, resisting without violence, resisting with violence, obstructing a highway, fleeing to elude, and unlawful possession of a weapon. Officers seized two firearms and one vehicle connected to the disturbance. Tampa Police also pointed to summer safety initiatives, including PAL Midnight Basketball and Stay and Play, as supervised alternatives for young people as the takeover trend grows nationally. The range of charges tells the story of just how far out of control the situation became. This was not a peaceful gathering that got a little rowdy. Arrests included charges for weapons possession, narcotics, resisting officers with violence, and fleeing to elude police. Some of those arrested were as young as 12 years old. Only four of the 22 people arrested were over the age of 18. The overwhelming majority were minors, a fact that makes Chief Bercaw’s message to parents all the more urgent. FOX 13 Tampa Bay reported on the arrests and the police response: The Tampa Police Department announced 22 arrests after a teen takeover at Curtis Hixon Park. The people arrested ranged from 12 to 21 years old. Police described traffic disruptions, fights, and other issues in the park, and patrol officers, bike units, and Air Service personnel responded to the scene. Officers seized two firearms and one vehicle. Only four of those arrested were over 18. The report quoted Chief Lee Bercaw warning that the behavior placed others at risk and saying parents need to know where their children are and who they are with. FOX 13 also reported that TPD sees the growing teen takeover trend as a national concern and pointed readers to supervised city programs such as PAL Midnight Basketball and Stay and Play as alternatives for young people during the summer months. The local report kept the focus on the police response, the age range of the suspects, and the warning from city officials that Friday night gatherings can turn dangerous fast when parents are not paying attention. Police Incidents also circulated the arrest details on May 11 as the story spread beyond Florida: Tampa Officers Respond to Teen Takeover Attempt, Make 22 Arrests TAMPA, FL — Tampa police arrested 22 people ranging in age from 12 to 21 after what authorities described as a “teen takeover” at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park on Friday night, May 8, 2026. According to the Tampa… pic.twitter.com/7v7hUZzWga — Police Incidents (@PoliceIncident) May 11, 2026 Teen takeovers have become a growing problem in cities across the country, and Tampa is far from the only community dealing with them. What sets this incident apart is the speed and scale of the police response and the willingness of city officials to release the footage publicly. There is a straightforward lesson here that Chief Bercaw was not shy about delivering. When 12-year-olds are getting arrested at a downtown park on a Friday night with guns in the mix, the first question is not about policing. It is about parenting. Tampa police did their job. The question is whether anyone at home is doing theirs.

Former President Joe Biden is racing to stop the Trump Justice Department from releasing audio recordings and transcripts of his private conversations with a ghostwriter, material that sat at the heart of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s classified-documents investigation. A joint status report filed May 8 in federal court reveals that DOJ told a judge it intends to disclose the redacted material to both Congress and the Heritage Foundation, which sued for the records under the Freedom of Information Act. Biden, through his lawyers, told the department he plans to intervene to block those disclosures. The deadline for Biden to file is May 12. If he does not act by then, DOJ says it will release the material shortly afterward. If he does intervene, the department will hold off until June 15. Biden to fight DOJ’s release of ghostwriter tapes https://t.co/HuIrpSvpZg — Axios (@axios) May 10, 2026 The recordings involve roughly 70 hours of conversations between Biden and ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer, who collaborated with him on his memoir. Hur’s investigation examined those recordings because the special counsel concluded Biden had read classified notebook passages aloud during the sessions. Hur ultimately declined to charge Biden, citing in part memory issues that would have made proving willfulness difficult at trial. Biden has denied sharing classified information during the conversations. His spokesman, TJ Ducklo, has called the push for disclosure political rather than a genuine transparency effort, telling reporters that Biden cooperated fully with Hur and provided the recordings on the condition they would not become public. That framing will face scrutiny in court. The Heritage Foundation and its Oversight Project director Mike Howell filed the original FOIA lawsuit in case 1:24-cv-00645-DLF, and the plaintiffs have made clear they will fight Biden’s late entry into the case. CourtListener has the joint status report, which lays out the current posture of the dispute in detail: The Department of Justice told the court it intends to disclose redacted written transcripts and audio recordings to Congress in response to a House Judiciary Committee request and to the plaintiffs in the FOIA litigation. Biden, through counsel, advised DOJ that he intends to seek to intervene in the case to prevent those disclosures. The department said it does not oppose intervention. If Biden does not seek intervention by May 12, DOJ will disclose the material shortly thereafter. If he does file, the department set a June 15 date for disclosure. Heritage and Howell, in their plaintiffs’ section of the filing, said the development came as a surprise because release of the material had been expected. The plaintiffs accused Biden of attempting to block even transcript portions that match phrases already quoted in the Hur report. They said they expect to object to intervention as untimely, arguing that Biden waited well over a year to seek to intervene, and warned that emergency litigation could follow. The timing is the point. Biden had more than a year to assert any privilege or privacy interest in these recordings. He did not. Now, on the eve of disclosure, he wants a federal judge to step in. Lawyers: Biden to fight DOJ plan to release audio of his talks with ghostwriter https://t.co/Ko0JiIrzbb — POLITICO (@politico) May 10, 2026 Axios reported on the standoff as the May 12 deadline approached: Former President Biden is preparing to ask a court to stop the Trump administration from releasing his conversations with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer. The recordings were central to Special Counsel Hur’s conclusions because Hur found that Biden read classified notebook passages aloud during the sessions. Hur ultimately declined to bring charges, citing memory issues that would have complicated proving willfulness at trial. Biden has denied sharing classified information. The Justice Department said in a Friday court filing that it intended to disclose redacted transcripts and audio to Congress and to the Heritage Foundation, which sued under FOIA. Biden’s legal team intends to intervene to block the release. Heritage plans to oppose him and argues he waited well over a year to act. Biden spokesman TJ Ducklo said Biden cooperated fully with Hur and provided the recordings on the condition they would not become public. Ducklo characterized the current push as politics rather than transparency. Axios connected the dispute to the broader Hur investigation and the Heritage FOIA case, while noting the practical deadline: DOJ will hold off until June 15 if Biden files by Tuesday. The “condition they would not become public” claim is interesting. A cooperating witness in a federal investigation does not get to set terms on what Congress or the public eventually sees, especially when FOIA law and congressional oversight authority apply. Whatever informal assurances Biden’s team may have received from a prior DOJ, they do not override statute. There is also the matter of deleted recordings. Conservative reporting has noted that Zwonitzer deleted audio files after learning of Hur’s appointment, though forensic technicians later recovered the deleted material. Technicians later recovered the deleted material, a fact that gives the disclosure fight obvious public-interest stakes. Biden to Fight Trump DOJ Over Release of 70 Hours of Audiotapes of His Conversations with Ghostwriter READ: https://t.co/nH5CIS9sTy pic.twitter.com/z3IAjND8Vg — The Gateway Pundit (@gatewaypundit) May 10, 2026 The Trump DOJ, to its credit, is not slow-walking this. The department told the court it is ready to hand over redacted material now, and it set a concrete fallback date of June 15 if litigation intervenes. Heritage and Howell have signaled they will fight any delay aggressively, calling Biden’s last-minute move exactly what it looks like. If Biden’s team fails to file by May 12, Americans could hear his own words in short order. If he does intervene, this becomes a summer courtroom battle over whether a former president can retroactively seal evidence from a federal investigation that found he mishandled classified documents but let him walk. Either way, the public deserves to hear what is on those tapes.

The U.S. Army on Sunday identified the soldier whose remains were recovered from the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Morocco as 1st Lt. Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., a 27-year-old Air Defense Artillery officer assigned to the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command. Key was one of two American soldiers reported missing on May 2 after they fell from a cliff during an off-duty recreational hike near the Cap Draa Training Area outside Tan-Tan, Morocco. Both had been participating in African Lion 26, the massive annual multinational military exercise. A Moroccan military search team found Key along the shoreline at approximately 8:55 a.m. local time on May 9, within roughly one mile of where both soldiers were believed to have entered the ocean. The body of one of two U.S. soldiers who went missing during a training exercise in Morocco last week was recovered Saturday, as U.S. and Moroccan forces continued a large-scale search for the second soldier, military officials said Sunday. https://t.co/PC8dQahXlK — Stars and Stripes (@starsandstripes) May 10, 2026 The search for the second missing soldier has not stopped. A U.S. contingent remained in Morocco after the African Lion exercise officially ended Friday, maintaining command-and-control and search-and-rescue operations alongside Moroccan forces. The Associated Press reported on the recovery and identification, citing a statement from U.S. Army Europe and Africa: The remains recovered in the Atlantic Ocean were identified as 1st Lt. Kendrick Lamont Key Jr., a 27-year-old officer whose military occupational specialty was 14A, Air Defense Artillery. Key was assigned to Charlie Battery, 5th Battalion, 4th Air Defense Artillery Regiment, 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command. According to the Army statement, a Moroccan military search team located Key along the shoreline at about 8:55 a.m. local time on May 9, within approximately one mile of the location where both soldiers were believed to have entered the ocean after falling from a cliff during a recreational hike while off duty. Search efforts continued for the second soldier, and a U.S. contingent stayed in Morocco after the African Lion exercises concluded to keep command-and-control operations and the search going. The two soldiers had been reported missing on May 2 after taking part in the exercise. Key entered military service in 2023 as an officer candidate, earned his commission through Officer Candidate School in 2024, and later completed the Basic Officer Leader Course at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Key’s identification brings a measure of closure for one military family while another still waits. The Army has not publicly identified the second missing soldier. Army recovers, identifies one of two soldiers missing in Morocco https://t.co/LibHHHLJaC — Task & Purpose (@TaskandPurpose) May 10, 2026 The scale of the search effort reflects how seriously the U.S. military and its partners have treated this incident. Earlier reporting from the Associated Press and an official statement from U.S. Africa Command described the scope of the multinational response: More than 600 military personnel from the United States, Morocco, and other participating nations were involved in the search near Morocco’s Cap Draa Training Area outside Tan-Tan. The effort covered coastal and open-ocean areas and included maritime vessels, aviation assets, helicopters, drones, divers, shoreline teams, canine crews, and surveillance support over a difficult stretch of coastline. AFRICOM confirmed on May 3 that two U.S. service members participating in African Lion 2026 had been reported missing near Cap Draa on May 2, and that an active search-and-rescue effort was underway with U.S., Moroccan, and partner support. African Lion 26 itself was launched in April across Morocco, Tunisia, Ghana, and Senegal, involving more than 7,000 personnel from over 30 nations. The exercise is the largest U.S. joint military exercise in Africa, giving the search immediate multinational resources even after the training schedule ended.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright went on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday and said something millions of American drivers wanted to hear: the Trump administration is not ruling anything out when it comes to lowering the price at the pump. Asked directly about a federal gasoline-tax suspension, Wright told the interviewer the administration is “open to all ideas” that could bring costs down for consumers and businesses. He acknowledged that every policy option carries tradeoffs, but the door is now clearly open. The federal excise tax on gasoline currently sits at 18.4 cents per gallon. With the national average price for regular gas hitting $4.452 per gallon as of May 4, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, that tax is a concrete target for relief. Energy Sec. Wright says ‘we’re open to all ideas’ amid calls to suspend gas tax: Full interview https://t.co/5qhwFLH0mp pic.twitter.com/TEigu5omcE — Meet the Press (@MeetThePress) May 10, 2026 Wright’s comments represent a notable shift. A White House official had previously indicated that a gas-tax suspension was not under consideration. Now the administration’s top energy official is publicly keeping the idea in play. The idea would require congressional action. The administration cannot suspend the tax unilaterally. But the signal from Wright puts pressure on Capitol Hill to act if the White House formally pushes the concept forward. Energy Secretary Chris Wright says the Trump administration is “open to all ideas” to ease pain at the pump, including suspending the federal gas tax. https://t.co/bLKTLTFeEl — NBC News (@NBCNews) May 10, 2026 Axios reported on the significance of Wright’s remarks and the practical realities surrounding a potential suspension: Energy Secretary Chris Wright told Meet the Press that the Trump administration was open to a federal gasoline-tax suspension while pump prices remained elevated across the country. Wright framed the administration’s posture as being receptive to any idea that could lower costs for consumers and businesses, while cautioning that every option on the table carries tradeoffs. Wright’s answer represented a softer posture than a previous comment from a White House official indicating that the gas-tax idea was not currently under consideration. The shift suggests the administration is broadening its toolkit as gas prices continue to weigh on household budgets heading into the summer driving season. Axios put the proposal in practical terms. The federal gas tax is the primary funding mechanism for the Highway Trust Fund, meaning a holiday would have direct implications for road and infrastructure spending. Any suspension would require legislation from Congress, making it a heavier political lift than the executive actions the administration has already pursued. Those earlier moves included Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases and Jones Act waivers, steps designed to increase supply and reduce transportation costs for fuel. A temporary tax holiday would be only one piece of a broader energy-price response. The tradeoff Wright alluded to is real. Every penny of that 18.4-cent tax flows into the Highway Trust Fund, which bankrolls federal road and bridge spending distributed to all 50 states. The Federal Highway Administration explains how that funding pipeline works: Receipts into the federal Highway Trust Fund come from several highway-related taxes, including taxes on highway fuel, tires, heavy vehicle use, and truck or trailer sales. The current motor-fuel excise tax is set at 18.4 cents per gallon for gasoline and gasohol and 24.4 cents per gallon for special fuel, primarily diesel. Motor-fuel excise taxes raise the largest share of the Fund’s revenue, which is why a temporary holiday would be noticed immediately in Washington budget math. The revenue is collected by the IRS and deposited into the Highway Trust Fund by the Treasury Department. Those funds are then distributed to states through formulas established in federal legislation, supporting highway construction, maintenance, and safety programs nationwide. FHWA says states report fuel-taxed gallons each month so federal officials can compile the data used for attribution. Any interruption to that revenue stream would require Congress to address how affected projects and state allocations would be funded during the suspension period. That is a legitimate budgetary consideration, and Wright was honest about it. But the administration’s willingness to discuss it publicly shows that consumer relief is the priority, and the White House is prepared to let Congress weigh the cost. Regional price data underscores why the conversation is urgent. While the national average sits at $4.452, drivers on the West Coast are paying $5.58, and Californians face a staggering $5.96 per gallon. Even in lower-cost regions like the Gulf Coast and Texas, prices hover near $3.90. Every cent of relief matters when families are filling up multiple vehicles every week. Trump official opens door to gas tax suspension https://t.co/b3NXs38wTF — Axios (@axios) May 10, 2026 Nothing has been enacted. No formal proposal has gone to Congress. But the Trump administration is now publicly signaling that a federal gas-tax suspension belongs on the table alongside the executive actions it has already taken. For tens of millions of Americans watching the numbers climb every time they pull up to the pump, that signal alone carries weight.
