Our president genuinely cares about our troops and their loved ones. In a very touching moment, President Trump personally called the parents of a brave fallen soldier to inform them that their son will be post-humorously awarded with the military’s highest award. At the age of 24, Army Staff Sgt. Michael Ollis lost his life shielding an ally in Afghanistan back in 2013. Now, he’s being presented with a Medal of Honor for his heroism. Watch the moment President Trump spoke on the phone with Ollis’ parents here: NEW: The family of fallen Army Staff Sgt.

Michael Ollis receives a call from President Trump, telling them their son would posthumously receive the Medal of Honor. Ollis was killed in Afghanistan in 2013 when he shielded a Polish army officer from a su*cide bomber. Ollis saved the life of Karol Cierpica, who became the father of a baby boy shortly after. Cierpica named the boy ‘Michael’ in honor of Michael Ollis. “Your son is gonna get the highest honor that you can have. There’s no higher honor than the Congressional Medal of Honor,” Trump said on the call. Video: SSG Michael Ollis Freedom Foundation / fb. Ollis was killed when he put himself between a Polish ally soldier and a suicide bomber. The soldier he saved, Lt. Karol Cierpica, ended up naming his son after Michael to honor him. Here’s a photo of the baby: This photo… The onions… pic.twitter.com/gV5NqxiRZ0 — Brick Suit (@Brick_Suit) February 4, 2026 At this time, there is no set date for the awards ceremony. Michael’s dad Robert, who you saw in that clip above, called the phone call with President Trump “bittersweet.” Military Times has more: Robert Ollis, Michael’s father, confirmed to Military Times via phone that he and Michael’s mother Linda had received a call from President Donald Trump Tuesday night confirming Ollis was approved for the award. The infantryman from Staten Island had previously been awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, the Army’s second-highest combat honor, for his actions. Robert Ollis said the call with the president was “bittersweet.” “We wanted this for Michael, but being his father, I want my son back,” he said. Beyond that, though, he added, “This is the best.” “Our prayers have been answered,” Ollis continued. “There is a God, and if you keep annoying him, He’ll come through.” The White House did not respond to a query seeking confirmation of the award. Robert Ollis said he’d heard from the Pentagon on Wednesday morning that the news had not been intended for announcement yet. No date has been confirmed for the award ceremony, Ollis said. Ollis has become something of a symbol of the power of military alliances. In Camp Kościuszko in Poznan, Poland, a mess hall named after Ollis — the “SSG Michael H. Ollis Warrior Grill” — honors his memory and sacrifice, according to a 2024 Army news release. In an even more meaningful tribute, the Polish soldier Ollis saved, Lt. Karol Cierpica, would name his son Michael in honor of the fallen soldier. According to previous Military Times reporting, Ollis, assigned to the 10th Mountain Division’s 2nd Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, had been posted at Forward Operating Base Ghazni in Afghanistan’s Ghazni province on Aug. 28, 2013, when the base was breached by a car bomb. The breach allowed for 10 enemy fighters wearing suicide vests to make their way inside the outer wall. More insurgents pelted the base with mortars and grenades from outside. According to Ollis’s medal citation, he accounted for his soldiers and checked for casualties before running toward the enemy assault. He linked up with Cierpica and they moved toward the attackers and began to engage them “without their personal protection equipment and armed only with their rifles.” “While fighting along the perimeter of the forward operating base, an insurgent came around a corner and immediately engaged them with small arms fire,” Ollis’s citation reads. “With complete disregard for his own safety, Staff Sergeant Ollis positioned himself between the insurgent and [Cierpica] who had been wounded in both legs and was unable to walk. Staff Sergeant Ollis fired on the insurgent and incapacitated him, but as he approached the insurgent, the insurgent’s suicide vest detonated, mortally wounding him.”

Once again, President Trump is proving how much he truly cares for the safety and well-being of all American citizens — not just those who like him. President Trump has now ordered federal law enforcement agencies to send in all necessary resources to aid in the search for NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, Nancy. Notably, Savannah Guthrie was incredibly aggressive and rude to President Trump during a town hall during his 2020 campaign. But, he is still sparing no effort help find Guthrie’s mom and re-unite her with her family. Take a look: Savannah Guthrie was very harsh on President Trump during her 2020 election town hall on NBC, accusing him of peddling conspiracy theories, and much more. Trump is now mobilizing all of federal law enforcement to find her mother and bring her home. A total class act. pic.twitter.com/ABiQPhaGuO — johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) February 5, 2026 Read President Trump’s full statement on Truth Social here: I spoke with Savannah Guthrie, and let her know that I am directing ALL Federal Law Enforcement to be at the family’s, and Local Law Enforcement’s, complete disposal, IMMEDIATELY. We are deploying all resources to get her mother home safely. The prayers of our Nation are with her and her family. GOD BLESS AND PROTECT NANCY! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP In a touching gesture, President Trump also personally called Savannah Guthrie on Wednesday to offer his support. NBC News has more details on the phone call: President Donald Trump called “TODAY” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie on Wednesday to offer support as state and federal law enforcement officials continue investigating the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie. Trump reached out to Savannah Guthrie shortly after an interview with “NBC Nightly News” anchor Tom Llamas. The president assured the Guthrie family that every resource was available as needed. The president said he knew Savannah Guthrie is close to her 84-year-old mother, who was reported missing from her home outside Tucson, Arizona, on Sunday afternoon, after she did not show up at church. Savannah Guthrie thanked Trump for taking the time to call her family, adding that they were devastated and praying, Llamas said. She said that the family needs prayers more than anything. She also thanked the president for the hard work of local and federal authorities on the case. The FBI has already sent detectives to the local sheriff’s office to assist in the investigation: The FBI is now involved in the investigation, which also includes about 100 detectives from the sheriff’s office, and Trump said Tuesday he would commit to sending more federal agents to assist. After President Trump mobilized federal law enforcement, FBI Director Kash Patel immediately headed out to Tucson. This clip from Fox News has more: JUST IN: FBI Director Kash Patel is PERSONALLY on his way out to Tucson, AZ as President Trump deploys federal resources to search for Savannah Guthrie’s mom Nancy Trump is HELLBENT on tracking the 84 year old down. It’s all hands on deck. pic.twitter.com/6TwANfflWo — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) February 5, 2026 So far, no leads in the case have been reported. The Hill has the latest update: Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing over the weekend after she didn’t show up to church Sunday morning near her home outside of Tucson, Ariz. She was last seen Saturday night at roughly 9:30 p.m. MST, when her family dropped her off after dinner. The next morning, when the 84-year-old did not show up at Sunday service, a church member alerted her family, who called police after searching the home. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, whose team is leading the investigation alongside the FBI, said officials believe Guthrie was taken from her home against her will in a “possible kidnapping or abduction.” Nancy Guthrie does not have dementia and has full cognitive function, the sheriff has said, though she has physical limitations and cannot walk more than 50 yards on her own. The TV anchor’s mother also takes daily medication that could be life-threatening to skip. Savannah Guthrie send out a heart-breaking video message to her mother’s suspected kidnappers. Watch here: BREAKING: NBC’s Savannah Guthrie seems to believe her mother Nancy is being held for RANSOM and says she’s “ready to talk” Guthrie posted a video message to her mom’s hostage takers: “We need to know without a doubt that she is alive, and that you have her… we want to hear… pic.twitter.com/W5BALTktZP — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) February 5, 2026 BREAKING: NBC’s Savannah Guthrie seems to believe her mother Nancy is being held for RANSOM and says she’s “ready to talk” Guthrie posted a video message to her mom’s hostage takers: “We need to know without a doubt that she is alive, and that you have her… we want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen. So please—reach out to us.” This is HORRIFYING stuff. Say a prayer for the Guthrie family tonight It’s absolutely terrible what this family must be going through. Please pray for the Guthries and for Nancy to be found safe and well.

We are still three years away from the sad day President Trump (most likely) has to leave the White House. But, he just gave us his thoughts on a 2028 ticket. During an interview with NBC News, President Trump floated both Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio as potential successors. He refused to comment on which one he thinks should run for president, calling them both highly-intelligent and noting that one is “slightly more diplomatic than the other.” Either way, President Trump said that he thinks a ticket with both Vance and Rubio on it “would be very hard to be beaten!” Watch here: BREAKING: President Trump says a JD Vance and Marco Rubio ticket would be NEARLY UNSTOPPABLE in the 2028 presidential election That’s the ticket! “I would say one is slightly more diplomatic than the other.

I think they’re both a very high intelligence. I mean, they will do shows, they will do Joe Rogan as opposed to the opponent not doing it because they couldn’t handle it.” “They will be able to do whatever they have to do. I think there’s a difference in style. You know, you can see the style yourself, but they’re both very capable.” “I do think this, the combination of JD and Marco would be very hard to be beaten!” @RapidResponse47 Neither Vance nor Rubio have formally declared their intent to run in 2028, though both have hinted at it. From Reuters: Vance, a former Republican senator from Ohio, has said he will talk to Trump about the possibility of running after the November midterm elections. here is also speculation among Republican insiders that Rubio, a former senator from Florida who ran for the Republican Party’s presidential nomination in 2016 and lost to Trump, could seek the presidency. Rubio has not closed the door to running in 2028, but has praised Vance as a strong potential candidate. Trump said he would “be inclined” to endorse a successor when asked about Vance and Rubio during an interview with NBC News, but added that he did not want to get into the subject now. “We have three years to go. I don’t want to, you know, I have two people that are doing a great job. I don’t want to have an argument with, or I don’t want to use the word ‘fight’ — it wouldn’t be a fight. But look, JD is fantastic, and Marco is fantastic,” Trump said. What are your thoughts? Would you support JD Vance and Marco Rubio running in 2028? Who would you like to see succeed President Trump?

New Hampshire Republicans have opened a nearly 50,000-voter registration advantage over Democrats as the Granite State heads toward the 2026 midterms, a shift that could reshape historically fluid federal and statewide races, even as the state’s electorate keeps a blue streak in national contests.  New data from the state’s Secretary of State shows Republican enrollment topping 315,685 voters compared with 266,413 registered Democrats, giving the GOP a sizable edge heading into a series of tightly contested elections. While the numbers signal momentum for the GOP, New Hampshire’s electoral identity remains nuanced. The state has voted for the Democratic nominee in every presidential contest since 2004, including the 2024 race, in which Vice President Kamala Harris carried the state even as Republicans strengthened their control of the governorship and state legislature.  Most striking is the size of the undeclared bloc. Nearly 375,000 Granite Staters lack formal party affiliation, outnumbering both major parties and allowing them to participate in either primary under New Hampshire’s semi-open system. Those voters have helped shape split outcomes in recent cycles, breaking for Democrats in federal contests and for Republicans down-ballot.  The current registration gap is the product of a longer post-COVID trend. Since 2021, Republican enrollment in New Hampshire has steadily climbed, accelerating after the 2022 and 2024 election cycles, while Democratic registration has largely stagnated or declined modestly. State data shows Republicans have added more than 45,000 voters since late 2023 alone, while Democratic numbers have remained relatively flat over the same period. The growth has come largely at the expense of undeclared and inactive voters re-registering with the GOP, reflecting broader national shifts in party alignment following pandemic-era politics and cultural debates. Republican strategists argue that a growing registration lead is more than cosmetic. In a 2025 briefing after the announced retirement of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), the National Republican Senatorial Committee released a briefing on the chances of the future Senate race: “New Hampshire demonstrates a favorable political environment for Republicans in this toss-up Senate race. With a registration advantage, an edge on the generic ballot… Republicans are well positioned to flip this open Senate seat in New Hampshire regardless of who either party nominates.” Democrats are not ignoring the trend: national party leaders have launched an ambitious voter registration drive to counter Republican gains in key states, acknowledging that shifts in party enrollment have eroded Democratic ground in recent cycles. Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin said large-scale registration efforts are needed to “chip away” at GOP advantages ahead of 2026.  The implications of a GOP registration edge extend beyond registration rolls into competitive races. With Shaheen retiring, the open Senate seat is a high-profile target for Republicans. How Republicans and Democrats capitalize on voter-file shifts, mobilize independents, and generate turnout could ultimately decide not only the Senate contest but control of the state House and other federal seats. New Hampshire’s electoral landscape remains uneven and hard to predict; a voter registration advantage for the GOP and firm Republican control at the state level, yet a history of Democratic success in federal contests and a sizable undeclared voting bloc. The coming months — from primaries through the midterms — should be a good test of whether party registration is a viable predictor of purple state tendencies going forward.

Former Secretary of State and first lady Hillary Clinton on Thursday requested that her and former President Bill Clinton’s Jeffrey Epstein-related testimonies be public and on camera. Clinton, who, along with her husband, finally agreed to appear for depositions before the House Oversight Committee later this month, accused House Republicans of playing “games” when they issued subpoenas for the Clintons to testify on their relationship with the late convicted sex offender. The House Oversight Committee is investigating the crimes committed by Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell as the Justice Department continues to release millions of documents from the case. “For six months, we engaged Republicans on the Oversight Committee in good faith. We told them what we know, under oath,” Clinton said. “They ignored all of it. They moved the goalposts and turned accountability into an exercise in distraction.” “So let’s stop the games,” she added. “If you want this fight, [Rep. James Comer (R-KY)], let’s have it—in public. You love to talk about transparency. There’s nothing more transparent than a public hearing, cameras on. We will be there.” Comer responded to Clinton’s request and told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that the testimonies “will be public” since the committee will release the transcripts, as well as audio and video. The depositions are scheduled to be recorded, with the recordings and transcripts released later, but Comer suggested that the committee is considering live-streaming the hearings. “We hadn’t planned on it being live, but we’re seeing the legality of that, and it’s never been done before,” Comer said. Earlier this week, the Clintons agreed to appear for depositions as the House was preparing to vote to hold the Democrats in contempt of Congress. The Clintons did not appear for their scheduled depositions last month, sparking outrage from Republican lawmakers who quickly began contempt proceedings. Last week, nine Democrats joined with all Republicans on the House Oversight Committee to hold former President Bill Clinton in contempt, and three Democrats voted with Republicans to hold Hillary Clinton in contempt. The full House vote on holding the Democratic couple in contempt was expected to take place on Wednesday, but on Monday, the Clintons changed course and agreed to appear for their depositions. Hillary Clinton is scheduled to appear before the Oversight Committee on February 26, while Bill Clinton is set to testify on February 27. Oversight Committee Chairman Comer said the Clintons “completely caved” after “it became clear that the House of Representatives would hold them in contempt.” “We look forward to questioning the Clintons as part of our investigation into the horrific crimes of Epstein and Maxwell, to deliver transparency and accountability for the American people and for survivors,” Comer added. The Clintons have not been accused of any wrongdoing related to Epstein’s sex crimes. Bill Clinton was a friend of Epstein’s in the early 2000s, traveling with the financier numerous times on Epstein’s plane, which was used for sex trafficking. The former president was also seen in a picture getting a back massage from Chauntae Davies, one of Epstein’s accusers. None of Epstein’s victims has accused Bill Clinton of any wrongdoing. The Clintons have argued that they “already provided the limited information they possess about Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell” in sworn statements they sent to the Oversight Committee. Comer, however, said that the Clintons need to answer questions under oath.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris mounted a digital comeback on Wednesday, rebranding her social media presence into a youth mobilization organization named “Headquarters.” In partnership with People for the American Way, the project aims to recruit “next-generation” voters ahead of the 2026 midterms. pic.twitter.com/SuJgYZ64XV — HQ (@headquarters_67) February 4, 2026 Welcome to Headquarters, the new Gen-Z led progressive content hub. pic.twitter.com/7EQyz3DFpd — HQ (@headquarters_67) February 5, 2026 Harris’s new initiative faces the steep challenge of repairing her standing with a demographic that largely abandoned the Harris-Tim Walz ticket in 2024. Statistics from Tufts University’s CIRCLE highlight a stark decline in youth engagement: • Turnout Drop: Youth voter turnout (ages 18-29) fell from over 50% in 2020 to an estimated 42% in 2024. • Vanishing Margins: While Joe Biden won the youth vote by roughly 25 points in 2020, Harris’s margin shriveled to just 4 points in 2024. • Economic Discontent: This 20-point swing is largely attributed to the “original sin” of the American Rescue Plan and subsequent inflation. Under the Biden-Harris administration, youth-critical costs soared, including: Rent: +22% Groceries: +21.6% Gasoline: +50.5% Average Weekly Earnings: Down -3.9% As vice president, Harris was the tie‑breaking vote for the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in 2021, which critics on the Left and Right argue helped unleash the worst inflation in four decades. Economists such as Larry Summers, Olivier Blanchard, and Steven Rattner had warned at the time that the stimulus was oversized and risked serious inflation. Later analyses argued they were proved right. Harris compounded this vulnerability by embracing ideas such as the Green New Deal, aggressive climate regulation, and even price controls — policies critics say would worsen shortages, growth, and inflation rather than fix them. Despite the 2024 “electoral landslide” loss to Donald Trump, Harris has signaled she is “not going anywhere.” While she is widely rumored to be eyeing the California governorship in 2026 — a race already crowded with Democrats like Xavier Becerra, Katie Porter, Eric Swalwell, Tom Steyer, and Antonio Villaraigosa — her immediate focus is reclaiming the “Gen Z” and Millennial audience through “Headquarters.” The rebrand utilizes the same social media infrastructure that garnered 5 million TikTok followers, attempting to pivot from a failed 2024 presidential campaign to a broader “pro-democracy” movement. Critics, however, argue that her policy history — including support for the Green New Deal and corporate tax hikes — may continue to alienate young voters who are increasingly sensitive to the “fear” of economic instability. Her “Headquarters” relaunch is thus an attempt to turn the same online generation hurt by her policies into the engine of her political future. As Harris assumes the role of chair emerita for this new venture, the 2026 midterms will serve as the ultimate litmus test: can a digital rebrand overcome the “Told You So” reality of 2024’s economic record?
