President Donald Trump announced on Monday that Russia and Ukraine are “immediately” going to begin ceasefire negotiations -- following a two hour long phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

On Monday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) proposed legislation to discourage the Trump administration from receiving a roughly $400 million luxury aircraft known as the “Flying Palace” from Qatar and block money from being spent turning it into the next Air Force One. Named the “Presidential Airlift Security Act of 2025,” the bill would block the Department of Defense (DoD) from using funds allocated for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 to procure, modify, restore, or maintain aircraft previously owned by foreign governments or their representatives for presidential airlift purposes. “Donald Trump has shown time and again — he will sell out the American people and the Presidency if it means filling his own pockets,” Schumer said in a statement. “Not only would it take billions of taxpayer dollars to even attempt to retrofit and secure this plane, but there’s absolutely no amount of modifications that can guarantee it will be secure. It is now on the Senate to prioritize our national security, protect Americans, and ensure that a foreign-owned plane never gets the call sign ‘Air Force One.'” It was first revealed a little more than a week ago that President Donald Trump’s administration was in talks to obtain the Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the Qatari royal family. A wave of criticism, including from some who generally support Trump, ensued amid concerns about Qatar spending massive sums of money to gain influence in the United States and using its riches to bankroll the terrorist group Hamas and the Middle Eastern news powerhouse Al Jazeera. The oil-rich government also frequently invites politicians on state-funded junkets to the Middle East, where they are treated to all the luxuries that Qatar has to offer. Schumer introduced his bill days after placing a hold on Trump’s political nominees for the Department of Justice (DOJ) until more clarity is given on the U.S. government’s plans to receive the jet. He also joined fellow Senate Democrats in unveiling a resolution to condemn the idea, citing an ABC News report with sources claiming the aircraft would be transferred to Trump’s presidential library foundation shortly before the president leaves office. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday the plane is “not a personal donation or gift” to the president and “everyone who wrote that last week should go and correct their stories.” She also said the donation would be “accepted according to all legal and ethical obligations” and the plane would be “retrofitted to the highest of standards by the Department of Defense and the United States Air Force.” Trump, who visited Qatar last week during a Middle East swing and attended the signing ceremony for a deal in which Qatar Airways agreed to purchase up to 210 Boeing jets, dismissed the doubters in a post on Truth Social. “The Boeing 747 is being given to the United States Air Force/Department of Defense, NOT TO ME! It is a gift from a Nation, Qatar, that we have successfully defended for many years,” Trump said. “It will be used by our Government as a temporary Air Force One, until such time as our new Boeings, which are very late on delivery, arrive. Why should our military, and therefore our taxpayers, be forced to pay hundreds of millions of Dollars when they can get it for FREE from a country that wants to reward us for a job well done. This big savings will be spent, instead, to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Only a FOOL would not accept this gift on behalf of our Country. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Naomi Biden lashed out at the forthcoming book from CNN anchor Jake Tapper and Axios reporter Alex Thompson — which explores the extent of her grandfather’s obvious cognitive and physical decline while in the White House — and claimed it amounted to little more than “uninspired lies.” Naomi, whose father is Biden’s embattled son Hunter Biden, responded to a post on X that claimed Tapper and Thompson were publishing the book in an effort to make themselves the “center of attention” — and that they would be better served to focus on President Donald Trump and his “daily assaults on our constitution.” “Tapper and Thompson want to be the center of the conversation because it will help them sell books. But with daily assaults on our constitution by the current inhabitant of the WH, the rest of us have, or should have, more important things to focus on.” https://t.co/RPleruhgwI — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 19, 2025 “Just read a copy of this silly book, and if anyone is curious for a review from someone who lived it first-hand: this book is political fairy smut for the permanent, professional chattering class,” Naomi Biden wrote in response. “The ones who rarely enter the arena, but profit from the spectacle of those that do.” “Put simply, it amounts to a bunch of unoriginal, uninspired lies written by irresponsible self promoting journalists out to make a quick buck,” she complained. “It relies on unnamed, anonymous sources pushing a self-serving false narrative that absolves them of any responsibility for our current national nightmare. All of this at the expense of a man so completely good and honest that it is impossible for these people to ever understand the why or how of it all. There are real stories to be told and one day they will be. I suspect history will reward the truth.” The book, set for release on May 20, will hit shelves just two days after the former president’s office announced that he was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer that had already metastasized to his bones. That announcement led to some — even some who had been critical of Biden’s fitness and his decision to run again in 2024 — to say that perhaps he should be left alone. David Axelrod, who served as chief campaign strategist to former President Barack Obama, said that the conversation about Biden’s cognitive fitness “should be more muted and set aside for now as he’s struggling through this.” .@davidaxelrod: Conversations about Biden’s mental acuity “should be more muted and set aside for now as he’s struggling through this.”https://t.co/ULDkqRS9O9 — Adam Wren (@adamwren) May 18, 2025

WASHINGTON—The House of Representatives will take steps towards repealing the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act this week, a law repeatedly weaponized against pro-life activists by President Joe Biden’s administration. Lawmakers on Wednesday will mark up H.R. 589, the FACE Act Repeal Act of 2025, which Texas Congressman Chip Roy introduced in January. The bill “repeals provisions of federal criminal law that prohibit conduct intended to injure, intimidate, or interfere with persons who are seeking to (1) obtain or provide reproductive health services, or (2) exercise their right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.” Senator Mike Lee of Utah introduced the Senate version of the bill in January as well. The move comes after years of work from Roy and his team, who aggressively argued in favor of repealing the FACE Act while the Biden Justice Department used the law to imprison pro-life activist after pro-life activist from 2022 to 2024, often pairing FACE with a felony conspiracy charge to lock peaceful pro-life protesters. President Donald Trump pardoned these imprisoned activists earlier this year. “Over the past 4 years, we have witnessed the weaponization of the justice system, using the FACE Act to jail Americans fighting for the right to life,” Roy told The Daily Wire on Monday afternoon. “It is not enough to merely end Biden-Harris era discrimination — we must act to reverse course, ensuring selective and unfair political prosecutions are never again possible under this statute.” U.S. Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Kristen Clarke speaks on a federal investigation of the City of Phoenix. (Photo by Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images) “While I am proud that the FACE Act is finally being moved through committee, Congress should move quickly to repeal the FACE Act and put an end to legal harassment of pro-life Americans once and for all,” he added. The FACE Act was intended to protect abortion clinics, pregnancy centers, and places of worship. But the Biden administration — led by former U.S. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Kristen Clarke — almost exclusively used it to target the pro-life movement following the May 2022 leak of the draft Supreme Court opinion showing that Roe v. Wade would soon be overturned. Roe’s overturn increased “the urgency” of the Justice Department’s work, Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta said, including the “enforcement of the FACE Act, to ensure continued lawful access to reproductive services.” Roy’s office obtained data that confirmed the Biden Justice Department charged 24 FACE Act cases against 55 defendants, and just two of those cases were brought in defense of pregnancy centers. None were brought in defense of a house of worship, even though hundreds of Catholic Churches have been attacked, firebombed, and vandalized with pro-abortion slogans since the Supreme Court leak. “Nearly 92% of all Biden-Harris FACE Act cases were brought against pro-life demonstrators, despite over 285 churches and 94 pregnancy resource centers and pro-life groups being attacked and vandalized since May 2022,” Roy wrote in a Daily Wire op-ed in October. “To stop this growing weaponization and intimidation, Congress should stop this targeted harassment and ensure the FACE Act is repealed,” he added at the time. “Allowing it to remain means permitting bureaucrats at the highest levels of government to unequally apply the law, target pro-life Americans with unwarranted retaliation, and shield a radical abortion industry.” The move is also significant given that Trump’s Justice Department is rolling back aggressive prosecution of the FACE Act, saying that the Biden administration weaponized the law against pro-life protesters. In a January memo, Trump Justice Department Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle said that it will only prosecute the FACE Act in cases of “extraordinary circumstances” or in instances related to “death, serious bodily harm, or serious property damage.” “Cases not presenting significant aggravating factors can adequately be addressed under state or local law,” the memo said. “Additionally, until further notice, no new abortion-related FACE Act actions — criminal or civil — will be permitted without authorization from the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division.” Leif Le Mahieu contributed to this report. 

A union representing nearly 20,000 Border Patrol agents on Monday declared its support for President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” hailing the legislation as an “investment” in America’s border security. “The men and women of the National Border Patrol Council are proud to announce our support for the House One Big Beautiful Bill,” the group’s president, Paul Perez, told The Daily Wire. “This legislation provides a once in a generation investment in the border security of our great country and will make America safer.” The legislation not only modifies the tax code, but also provides funding that would allow Customs and Border Protection to expand its operations. “This legislation provides for thousands of new patrol vehicles, the hiring of thousands of additional Border Patrol Agents, and improves retention and recruitment by using incentives and protecting benefits, along with unprecedented investments in physical infrastructure, such as roads along our borders,” Perez added. “The NBPC has no doubt this legislation will greatly help us to do our jobs more safely and effectively.” Funding for physical infrastructure, the Republicans on the House Homeland Security Committee say, would support the construction of “701 miles of primary wall, construction of 900 miles of river barriers, 629 miles of secondary barriers, and replacement of 141 miles of vehicle and pedestrian barriers.” The White House adds that the funding will support “at least one million annual removals” of illegal aliens and the hiring of 10,000 new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel. The House Judiciary Committee says the funding would allow ICE to expand its capacity and allow it to detain 100,000 illegal aliens at any given time. Beyond funding Border Patrol, ICE, and border wall construction, the legislation also takes other steps to discourage illegal immigration. If passed, the bill would impose a 5% tax on money sent out of the country by illegal aliens and non-citizens. Experts told The Daily Wire that the tax on such transactions would penalize illegal immigration and cut into the cash flows that are sent to the Mexican drug cartels. “Placing a fee on remittances is crucial because the more money that is smuggled back into Mexico, the stronger the cartels become,” Ira Mehlman, the Media Director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, told The Daily Wire. Trump’s bill would also kick an estimated 1.4 million illegal aliens off of Medicaid, the government-funded healthcare program. The legislation, the Trump White House says, “eliminates waste, fraud, and abuse by ending benefits” for illegal aliens “who are gaming the system.”

When Hooters announced its bankruptcy filing, chicken wing fans mourned the loss. Though the restaurant claimed it intended to stay open despite the filing, many worried the iconic Hooters Girls would be a thing of the past. But now, it looks like Hulk Hogan plans to save Hooters with his Real American Beer brand. “I’ve seen firsthand the incredible value and opportunities our brand brings to life, and I look forward to continuing that momentum well into the future.

Let the company founded on one of the seven deadly sins go to Hell where it belongs. Stop poisoning our country!”  “As we look toward the future, we are committed to restoring the Hooters brand back to its roots and simplifying HOA’s operations by adopting a pure franchise model that will maximize the potential for sustainable, long-term growth,” Neil Kiefer, CEO of Hooters Inc., said in a release. “The foundation we’ve laid ensures the continued success of our brand – one that is driven by a relentless focus on delivering an exceptional experience each and every visit for our customers.” If Hulk Hogan can’t save Hooters, no one can.
