🇺🇸 BREAKING: HOUSE RULES COMMITTEE APPROVES TRUMP'S "BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL" AFTER MARATHON SESSION
The House Rules Committee voted to advance Republicans' massive tax and spending package to the floor after Speaker Mike Johnson made key amendments to win over GOP holdouts during a nearly full-day meeting.
The multitrillion-dollar legislation now heads to the House floor, with lawmakers notified to return to Capitol Hill for a late-night vote series that could extend into the early morning hours.
The bill includes accelerated Medicaid work requirements, expanded state and local tax deductions, and faster elimination of clean energy tax credits—changes designed to satisfy various Republican factions.
Johnson successfully navigated his narrow three-seat majority to get the legislation through the Rules Committee, marking a crucial step toward passing Trump's domestic policy agenda through the House.

GAS PRICES DROP TO 4-YEAR LOW: Gas prices, heading into one of the year's busiest travel weekends, are at a four-year low, down 14% from last year, largely due to declining crude oil prices.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported on Monday that the retail price of regular-grade gasoline in the U.S. averaged $3.17 per gallon, 11% lower than a year ago.
As of Monday:
West Coast: Average of $4.29 per gallon on Monday, down 10% from this time last year.
Gulf Coast: Average of $2.79 per gallon, down 13% from this time last year.
East Coast: Average of $2.99 per gallon, down 17% from last year.
Midwest: Average of $3.03 per gallon, down 15% from last year.
Rocky Mountains: Average of $3.13 per gallon, down 12% from last year.
Thank you, President Trump!
JUST IN: Interim National Security Adviser and Secretary of State Marco Rubio has placed over 100 officials at the National Security Council at the White House on administrative leave on Friday, according to CNN.
“An email from NSC chief of staff Brian McCormack went out around 4:20 p.m. informing those being dismissed they’d have 30 minutes to clean out their desks, according to an administration official. If they weren’t on campus, the email read, they could email an address and arrange a time to retrieve their stuff later and turn in devices.”
“The email subject line read: “Your return to home agency,” indicating that most of those affected were detailed to the NSC from other departments and agencies.”
“Those put on leave include career officials, as well as political hires made during the Trump administration,” CNN reports.
Marco Rubio has been by far Trump’s best cabinet selection.
Teeing it up for the uber-dunces who believe the things Alex Jones says
"No, the cost of gasoline has not dropped by a dollar since Donald Trump took office on January 20, 2025. Based on available data, the national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline was around $3.10-$3.13 in mid-January 2025, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) and AAA. As of late April 2025, the most recent reported figures, the national average was approximately $3.13-$3.18 per gallon. This shows a slight increase or near stability, not a $1 decrease. Claims of significant drops, such as prices below $2, are misleading and often confuse wholesale fuel contract prices (e.g., RBOB gasoline futures) with retail pump prices."
DEEP STATE: When Trump began hearing details about his intelligence briefings from Susan Rice on MSNBC it became clear it was time for a house cleaning at the NSC. As many as 100 members of the council were sent packing on Friday when it was clear they were working for the deep state and not the president.
Good ole maga boys can do what they want and get away with it as long as they vote for Trump
He also accepted over $75,000 in bribes in exchange for appointing unqualified individuals as auxiliary deputy sheriffs. Some were undercover FBI agents.
In other words, National Security is the least of their concerns at Trump's NSC.
