Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt unloaded on CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins during Wednesday&#8217;s White House briefing, accusing her of fomenting &#8220;chaos and distrust&#8221; among President Donald Trump&#8217;s cabinet and assuring her that her efforts would be unsuccessful.
Leavitt, flanked by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, detailed some of the findings revealed by a congressional report that had been released just hours earlier — a report that outlined the troubling actions taken by members of former President Obama&#8217;s administration and the intelligence community.

Leavitt noted that multiple reports had confirmed Russia&#8217;s attempts to meddle in the 2016 election, but said that evidence showed the Obama administration had pushed fabricated information from the Steele Dossier — which had been funded by Hillary Clinton&#8217;s campaign — suggesting that Trump had actively colluded with the Russians toward that end.
&#8220;And [Rubio] also said at that time we discovered deeply troubling actions taken by the FBI, under [Director James] Comey, particularly their acceptance and willingness to rely on the Steele Dossier without verifying its methodology,&#8221; Leavitt continued, also pointing out the fact that many legacy media outlets had also run with the information in the Steele Dossier without being terribly curious about its veracity.
To Collins&#8217; additional question — namely that Gabbard had released the tranche of documents in order to curry favor with the president — Leavitt had a more blunt reply: &#8220;The only people who are suggesting that the Director of National Intelligence would release evidence to try to boost her standing with the president are the people in this room, who constantly try to sow distrust and chaos amongst the president&#8217;s cabinet — and it is NOT working.&#8221;

WASHINGTON — White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt celebrated news Thursday that multiple hospitals have halted their transgender procedures for children, telling reporters that President Donald Trump &#8220;wants to protect the innocence of children.&#8221;
Leavitt highlighted news that the largest provider of so-called &#8220;gender-affirming care,&#8221; the Center for Trans Youth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/la-trans-youth-center-closing-34d27684692c95b4f7c3266c55a71d38">is closing in response</a> to the Trump administration&#8217;s promise to cut federal funding for institutions that are transitioning children.
That program is one of a number that are shutting down or halting the irreversible treatments for children — Chicago&#8217;s Rush University Medical Center &#8220;paused&#8221; puberty blocker and hormone replacement therapy for children, according to policy documents <a href="https://blockclubchicago.org/2025/07/15/rush-medical-center-rolls-back-gender-affirming-care-for-minors-as-pressure-from-trump-mounts/">covered by a local outlet</a>.
Asked by The Daily Wire during the White House press briefing on Thursday if the nation should expect to see more closures, Leavitt responded: &#8220;The president spoke a lot about this issue, which is a political issue, but also really a cultural issue that impacts children and families. He talked about it a lot on the campaign, and I think he was quite surprised by the uptick we were seeing in the embracement by the Democrat Party when it comes to the chemical castration and mutilation of young, innocent bodies.&#8221;

(Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images)</div>
&#8220;The president made it a very early priority to sign very strong executive orders to cut off the funding for any hospital or any medical facility in this country that provides such barbaric procedures,&#8221; Leavitt stressed. &#8220;And, as a result of that strong policy and the president&#8217;s strong common sense position on this issue, we&#8217;ve had such an overwhelming response, which is great for children &#8230;&#8221;
The White House press secretary then listed off a number of these hospitals that have halted their transgender programs for children.
&#8220;Phoenix Children&#8217;s Hospital has stopped providing puberty blockers and hormone therapy to minors,&#8221; she said. &#8220;In California, Stanford Medicine ended sex change surgeries for minors. Children&#8217;s Hospital Los Angeles is closing its center for Trans Youth Health and Development surgical program. In Illinois, Lurie Children&#8217;s Hospital of Chicago stopped sex change surgeries.&#8221;
&#8220;Again, let&#8217;s think about what we&#8217;re talking about here,&#8221; Leavitt told the assembled reporters. &#8220;Sex change surgeries for minors. These are barbaric practices that no children, no child, innocent child should have to endure.&#8221;
&#8220;The president wants to protect the innocence of children, and I know the vast majority of Americans support him in that effort,&#8221; she added. &#8220;This is a wildly popular and common sense endeavor this administration has taken, and we&#8217;ve seen many of these medical institutions have followed through with the president&#8217;s executive orders, but we’ll continue to take further action on this important issue.”

The White House addressed speculation around President Donald Trump&#8217;s swollen legs and bruised right hand on Thursday.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump underwent medical testing and received a diagnosis of &#8220;chronic venous insufficiency&#8221; in his legs, but remains in good health.
&#8220;I know that many in the media have been speculating about bruising on the president&#8217;s hand and also swelling in the president&#8217;s legs,&#8221; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at Thursday&#8217;s press briefing.
&#8220;So in the effort of transparency, the president wanted me to share a note from his physician with all of you today,&#8221; she said.

Leavitt read a memo from Dr. Sean Barbabella, a Navy doctor who serves as physician to the president
Barbabella wrote that in recent weeks, Trump noted &#8220;mild swelling in his lower legs,&#8221; and the president&#8217;s concern was &#8220;thoroughly evaluated by the White House medical unit&#8221; out of an &#8220;abundance of caution.&#8221;
Ultrasounds to assess blood flow in both of his legs found &#8220;chronic venous insufficiency,&#8221; which the president&#8217;s physician called a &#8220;benign, common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70.&#8221;
Chronic venous insufficiency involves blood pooling in the legs, sometimes causing varicose veins, and can be caused by prolonged standing.
Trump also got bloodwork done, including a comprehensive metabolic panel, a complete blood count, a coagulation profile, a blood clot test, a heart failure test, and testing for cardiac biomarkers, his doctor said.
&#8220;All results were within normal limits,&#8221; Barbabella wrote.
An echocardiogram also showed &#8220;normal cardiac structure and function,&#8221; the president&#8217;s physician said.
&#8220;Importantly, there was no evidence of deep vein thrombosis or arterial disease,&#8221; Barbabella wrote. &#8220;No signs of heart failure, renal impairment, or systemic illness were identified.&#8221;
Trump&#8217;s doctor also addressed recent photos of Trump showing bruising on the back of his right hand and said the culprits are aspirin and the president frequently shaking hands with people.
&#8220;This is consistent with minor soft tissue irritation from frequent handshaking and the use of aspirin, which is taken as part of a standard, cardiovascular prevention regimen. This is a well-known and benign side effect of aspirin therapy,&#8221; Barbabella wrote.
&#8220;The president remains in excellent health, which I think all of you witness on a daily basis here,&#8221; Leavitt said.
The White House&#8217;s detailed report on Trump&#8217;s health comes after the last administration was not as forthcoming about President Joe Biden&#8217;s health.
Biden&#8217;s behavior during the last years of his presidency sparked concerns among the public that he might already be senile. His disastrous debate performance in June of last year solidified those concerns and led to Biden dropping out of the 2o24 presidential race.
Last week, Biden&#8217;s former doctor pled the Fifth before the House Oversight Committee, which subpoenaed him to testify in an investigation into the alleged cover-up of Biden&#8217;s cognitive decline.
Invoking the Fifth Amendment means someone is using their right not to be &#8220;compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself.&#8221;
Then on Wednesday, a Jill Biden aide also pled the Fifth in the same investigation and declined to answer questions.
The Biden officials&#8217; refusal to testify has only fueled speculation about a cover-up and heightened concerns about the legitimacy of executive actions Biden took during his last years as president.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Thursday that President Trump&#8217;s Jeffrey Epstein &#8220;hoax&#8221; comment was in reference to Democrats seizing the Epstein hysteria after showing little to no interest in the case for years.
On Wednesday, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-says-epstein-story-is-kept-alive-by-pretty-bad-people-including-fake-news?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Says+Epstein+Story+Is+Kept+Alive+By+%E2%80%98Pretty+Bad+People%2C+Including+Fake+News%E2%80%99">blasted</a> his “past supporters,” whom he says have fallen for a “hoax” pushed by Democrats by focusing on the Epstein case.
Asked by Fox News Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich to clarify what Trump meant by calling the Epstein case a &#8220;hoax,&#8221; Leavitt said during Thursday&#8217;s White House press briefing, &#8220;The president is referring to the fact that Democrats have now seized on this as if they ever wanted transparency when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, which is an asinine suggestion for any Democrat to make.&#8221;
&#8220;The Democrats had control of this building, the White House, for four years, and they didn&#8217;t do a dang thing when it came to transparency in regards to Jeffrey Epstein and his heinous crimes. It was this president who directed the Department of Justice and the attorney general to do an exhaustive review of all files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which they did,&#8221; she added.
Leavitt argued that the investigation into the Epstein files was led by &#8220;great patriots&#8221; and &#8220;some of the most trusted voices in the Republican Party movement,&#8221; referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino. Last week, the DOJ concluded that it did not find evidence of a client list existing and concluded that Epstein committed suicide in his jail cell in 2019.
&#8220;They spent many months going through all of the files related to Jeffrey Epstein, and they concluded what they found in that memo, which they drafted and they released,&#8221; Leavitt said. &#8220;So the president has been transparent. He has followed through on his promises to the American people, but he doesn&#8217;t like to see Democrats and the mainstream media covering this like it&#8217;s the biggest story that the American people care about.&#8221;
Democrats have <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/elections/democrats-put-previous-misgivings-hit-trump-jeffrey-epstein-files-rcna218608" target="_blank" rel="noopener">latched</a> onto the issue to attack Trump, voting in the House to release the Epstein files, a move that Republicans <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-gop-rejects-claims-of-blocking-epstein-files-a-misunderstanding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> a political stunt and a power grab.
Later during the press briefing, Leavitt said that Trump &#8220;would not recommend a special prosecutor&#8221; to look into the Epstein case, adding that &#8220;the idea was floated from someone in the media.&#8221; The president would be open to revisiting the case further if the DOJ or FBI find any new information, according to Leavitt.
Earlier this week, Trump called those focusing on the Epstein controversy &#8220;pretty bad people&#8221; and defended Bondi&#8217;s handling of the case. Conservatives criticized Bondi after she said in February that she had Epstein&#8217;s client list on her desk, but then clarified months later that she meant that she was reviewing the Epstein files.

Among Republicans, 35% approved while 30% disapproved, and the rest said they were unsure or didn&#8217;t answer. Additionally, 69% of respondents said that the federal government is covering up details about Epstein’s alleged client list.

White House Explains Trump’s Epstein ‘Hoax’ Claim

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump signed a bipartisan bill Wednesday aimed at ending the fentanyl drug crisis while surrounded by mothers and fathers of young people who lost their lives to the deadly drug.
&#8220;We&#8217;ll be getting the drug dealers, pushers, and peddlers off our street, and we will not rest until we have ended the drug overdose epidemic,&#8221; he promised attendees in the East Room of the White House on Wednesday afternoon. Trump promised that the legislation would take &#8220;a historic step toward justice for every family touched by the fentanyl scourge.&#8221;
The HALT Fentanyl Act permanently schedules fentanyl-related substances as &#8220;Fentanyl Analogs,&#8221; a classification that would expire at the end of the month without the new legislation. An analog is a copycat fentanyl that has been chemically changed just enough to skirt the law, but is just as deadly. The White House argues it must be prosecuted in the same way.

<p class="paragraph inline-placeholder vossi-paragraph" data-uri="cms.cnn.com/_components/paragraph/instances/cmd5yzrwf000d3b6nw7knhfd3@published" data-editable="text" data-component-name="paragraph" data-article-gutter="true" data-analytics-observe="off">&#8220;First, we close the loopholes criminals use to skirt around the law,&#8221; the document notes. &#8220;Second, we make it easier for law enforcement to prosecute those criminals.&#8221;
The new legislation amends the Controlled Substances Act to permanently classify these illicit fentanyl knockoffs as Schedule 1. And it fulfills some key campaign promises of Trump, who has heavily messaged to his supporters that he will rein in the fentanyl crisis.
&#8220;For four years, Joe Biden and Democrats hardly muttered a word about the fentanyl crisis, which remains the number one leading cause of death in our country,&#8221; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared in a statement ahead of the signing. &#8220;President Trump has made securing the border and ending the drug crisis a top priority, and today, he will further follow through on his commitment to the courageous fentanyl moms and dads who elected him to Make America Safe Again.&#8221;
A number of top Trump supporters who have been aggressive on border policy were also present at the event: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, Fox News contributor Sara Carter, U.S. Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, and Senator Jim Banks of Indiana filled the first few rows and were named by the president.
House Speaker Mike Johnson arrived slightly late to the bill signing and quietly slid into a seat in the back, where a delighted mother and son duo were quick to take photos with him.
The president invited several of the angel parents in attendance to speak at the podium. One father, whose son Drew was tragically killed by fentanyl, told Trump on Wednesday afternoon: &#8220;Thank you, Mr. President, for stopping the border crossings. Full stop.&#8221;
&#8220;We were being gaslit,&#8221; he added, &#8220;and you came and lit a fire to that story, and we&#8217;re a lot safer for it.

The Trump administration is moving to end the requirement that passengers remove their shoes when going through airport security, according to multiple reports.
The much-hated shoe removal mandate, which has been in place since 2006, is being gradually phased out in the coming weeks, according to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents who have told multiple news outlets. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the news on Tuesday morning. 
The phase-out began at Baltimore/Washington International Airport, Fort Lauderdale International Airport, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, Portland International Airport, Philadelphia International Airport, and Piedmont Triad International Airport in North Carolina, CBS News <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/tsa-shoes-rule-expires/">reported</a>. 
On Tuesday morning, Leavitt posted, “Big news from [the Department of Homeland Security]!” in response to an X news post on the policy change.

“TSA and DHS are always exploring new and innovative ways to enhance the passenger experience and our strong security posture,” a TSA spokesman <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/travel/tsa-shoes-removal-airport-security.html">told</a> the New York Times on Monday. “Any potential updates to our security process will be issued through official channels.”
The news was first <a href="https://gateaccess.substack.com/p/exclusive-tsa-to-end-shoe-removal">reported</a> by Gate Access on July 4, which stated that the TSA had begun circulating the updated shoe guidance. Before the change, visitors enrolled in the TSA PreCheck program were permitted to keep their shoes, belts, and jackets on and were not required to remove laptops or liquids from their bags. 
Some conservative commentators praised the move from the Trump administration.
&#8220;Rejoice, you no longer have to take your shoes off to go through TSA airport security. Always a moronic rule that didn’t seem likely to make any of us safer. But this removal is likely to make airport security lines run way smoother,&#8221;  Outkick founder Clay Travis said.
In December 2001, a month after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States, airline passenger Richard Reid attempted to ignite explosive devices hidden in his shoes while on a flight from Paris to Miami. Still considered a threat years later, the shoe removal policy was first <a href="https://www.tsa.gov/timeline">instituted</a> in 2006 as a way to screen airline passengers for explosives. 
Reid, known as the shoe bomber, had homemade bombs containing 10 ounces of explosive materials hidden in his shoes that the FBI <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/history/artifacts/richard-reids-shoes">said</a> would have blown a hole in the plane’s fuselage if detonated successfully. After pleading guilty to eight terrorism-related charges, Reid was sentenced to life in prison.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt set the record straight on Monday after multiple media outlets had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dana-bash-blames-climate-change-donald-trumps-administration-for-texas-floods">blamed President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration</a> for what they claimed was a lack of necessary staffing at the National Weather Service (NWS).
Multiple reports have circulated — in the wake of devastating flash flooding in central Texas — suggesting that Trump&#8217;s efforts to shrink the size of the federal government through the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had led to a shortage of key staffers in the Texas NWS offices responsible for warning the local population in the event of a flood.
Leavitt pushed back, saying that the offices in question were, in fact, fully staffed.

&#8220;Are there concerns within the White House or from the president himself that the cuts that happened under Musk while he was advising DOGE, including the National Weather Service?&#8221; one reporter asked.
&#8220;I think I&#8217;ve already addressed that &#8230; and what I can tell you is that these offices were fully staffed,&#8221; Leavitt explained. &#8220;The San Angelo office was fully staffed with 12 forecast meteorologists, there were no vacancies. The San Antonio office was operating with 11 forecasters, and &#8230; the union themselves said that there was adequate staffing, so I think those words speak for themselves, and the numbers speak for themselves.&#8221;
&#8220;This was a once-in-a-century flash flood, a tragic natural disaster, and the administration is doing all that we can on the ground to help these families during this time of need,&#8221; she added.
President Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday that he planned to visit the flood-ravaged state in the near future, but wanted to wait until his presence would not be a hindrance to relief efforts.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump will sign the One Big, Beautiful Bill on the Fourth of July, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared on a call with reporters Thursday.
Leavitt spoke within minutes of the bill&#8217;s Thursday passage through the House of Representatives, prompting celebrations from White House officials, who hailed the news as a massive victory.
&#8220;Today is a victorious day for the American people,&#8221; Leavitt told reporters. &#8220;In addition to the jobs report beating expectations for the 4th month in a row under President Trump, the One Big, Beautiful Bill passed the House of Representatives and will be at the president&#8217;s desk for signature at a big, beautiful signing ceremony tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. on the 4th of July, just as the president always said and hoped it would be.&#8221;
&#8220;And despite the doubters and the panickins,&#8221; she added, &#8220;President Trump delivered win after win for the American people, and House Republicans and Senate Republicans delivered these wins with the passage of the One Big, Beautiful Bill into law.&#8221;

The White House is touting the bill&#8217;s passage as the biggest legislative win of the president&#8217;s two terms in office, promising that it will deliver the largest tax cut in American history. The bill also includes increased border security, higher wages, expanded Child Tax Credit, no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, no tax on Social Security, savings accounts for newborns, and more.
&#8220;Again and again,&#8221; the White House said in a Thursday afternoon release, &#8220;President Trump and Republicans fought and won for the American people.&#8221;

&#8220;The pro-growth policies within this historic legislation are going to fuel an economic boom like we’ve never seen before,&#8221; Leavitt said in a Thursday statement. &#8220;President Trump looks forward to signing the One Big, Beautiful Bill into law to officially usher in the Golden Age of America.”

WASHINGTON — The pilots who flew into Iran on a mission to bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities will join President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday, The Daily Wire has learned.
The B-2 pilots will be in attendance on Friday at the White House Fourth of July celebrations, two White House officials shared with The Daily Wire. The White House celebration will also include a flyover by B-2 Spirit bombers, the jets that conducted the strikes on Iran earlier this month in Operation Midnight Hammer, according to CBS.

During an interview on “Sunday Morning Futures,” Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pilots-of-b-2-bombers-that-hit-iran-nuclear-sites-coming-to-white-house-trump-says">discussed</a> the &#8220;courageous&#8221; pilots with Trump, and asked the president if he planned to honor them.
“Yes, they’re going to come to the White House,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;But what you said is right. These people flew 36 hours in a small space, a big plane, but a small spaces mostly occupied by bombs, and they flew so brilliantly.&#8221;
“They hit a target the size of this circle … a little target, they say half the size of a refrigerator door from 50,000 feet up in the air,&#8221; he added. &#8220;Going at a rapid speed, because they’re going very fast when they’re over a pretty rough territory. And they hit it every single time. And then they knocked out two other sites aside from that.”

During a news conference on Operation Midnight Hammer, Joint Chiefs Chairman Dan Caine shared that the B-2 bombers launched from the United States and refueled multiple times while in flight during the trip to Iranian airspace. The bombers struck targets at Fordo and Natanz, and United States submarines fired Tomahawk missiles that hit Isfahan moments later. The B-2 bombers returned home to Missouri after the attack.
“Those pilots went in there with those beautiful planes and the most sophisticated bombs anywhere in the world. Think of it, they can go 30 stories deep into granite. Who would think that’s even possible? And they did obliterate it, it turned out,” Trump said on Sunday.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt ripped into New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, the self-described &#8220;Democratic Socialist&#8221; who bested disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) in the Democratic primary.
Leavitt addressed the controversy surrounding Mamdani — which has even some Democrats worried about the optics of endorsing him — and made it clear that, in the White House&#8217;s opinion, Mamdani was just another manifestation of the Democratic Party&#8217;s efforts to undermine &#8220;the very fabric of our country.&#8221;

&#8220;The Democrats are doubling down on craziness and radical policies that are undermining the very fabric of our country,&#8221; she began. &#8220;Just look at the Democrat nominee for New York City Mayor, Zohran Mamdani He&#8217;s a Democrat Socialist — really a communist — who proudly calls to defund the police, peddles antisemitism, praises pro-Hamas groups, wants Israel abolished, and believes wealthy Americans should not exist.&#8221;
&#8220;Those are his words, just as recent as this weekend,&#8221; Leavitt continued, referencing Mamdani&#8217;s appearance on NBC&#8217;s &#8220;Meet the Press.&#8221; During that interview, in spite of the fact that host Kristen Welker gave him three opportunities to do so, Mamdani could not being himself to condemn the phrase &#8220;globalize the intifada&#8221; — a phrase that Welker correctly explained was a call to violence against Jewish people. Mamdani shrugged off the question, claiming that he did not think it was his place to &#8220;police&#8221; the language others might choose.
<a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/freedom/?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial&amp;utm_campaign=freedom&amp;utm_content=freedomeditorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-2388">JULY 4 SALE: Get Six Months Of DW+ Free</a>
Mamdani&#8217;s history of backing anti-Israel protests and the &#8220;Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions&#8221; (BDS) against Israel may be what has even some New York Democrats feeling squeamish about offering their endorsement.
Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/spin-cycle-how-do-you-solve-a-problem-like-mamdani">Hakeem Jeffries</a> (D-NY), whose district is 11% Jewish, told ABC News host Jonathan Karl on &#8220;This Week&#8221; that he didn&#8217;t know Mamdani well enough to endorse him right away.
&#8220;Globalizing the Intifada, by way of example, is not an acceptable phrasing,&#8221; Jeffries explained. &#8220;He’s going to have to clarify his position on that as he moves forward. With respect to the Jewish communities that I represent, I think our nominee is going to have to convince folks that he is prepared to aggressively address the rise in antisemitism in the city of New York, which has been an unacceptable development.&#8221;

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump was in a great mood as he took the podium at a surprise White House press briefing on Friday.
His team called the briefing just after the Supreme Court upheld his executive order on birthright citizenship, ruling that lower courts do not have the authority to unilaterally block Trump’s agenda.
Not only that — the court also ruled Friday that schools violate religious liberty when they bar parents from opting their children out of classroom instruction involving LGBT-themed books, a major win for religious conservatives and for the Trump White House, which has championed parents and their right to decide what their children are taught.
Each ruling in and of itself would have been celebrated by the White House. But together, on the heels of Trump&#8217;s success negotiating a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, achieving a 5% defense pledge from NATO members, gas prices dropping to their lowest <a href="https://x.com/PressSec/status/1938232771509354514">since 2021</a>, and the stock market nearing <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wall-street-rallies-sp-500-nears-record-high-as-middle-east-tensions-cool">record highs</a>, the news made Friday &#8220;a really big day&#8221; for Trump.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve had a big week,&#8221; Trump told the clamoring reporters in the James Brady Briefing Room.&#8221;We&#8217;ve had a big week, we&#8217;ve had a lot of victories this week.&#8221;
The past week has indeed been full of wins for the president, both at home and abroad. After the United States bombed key Iranian nuclear sites with Tomahawk missiles and 30,000-pound “bunker buster” bombs on Saturday, the president announced a ceasefire on Monday, strong-arming the two countries into a cessation of attacks on one another with a rare, emphatic f-bomb.
&#8220;They don&#8217;t know what the f**k they are doing,&#8221; an angry Trump told reporters shortly before getting on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The Trump administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cnn-misconstruing-intelligence-to-undermine-successful-u-s-strike-in-iran-trump-officials-say?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=CNN+Misconstruing+Intelligence+To+Undermine+Successful+U.S.+Strike+In+Iran%2C+Trump+Officials+Say">maintains</a> that the Iranian nuclear sites were completely obliterated, and the White House has celebrated this as a massive win marred only by suggestions from legacy media outlets, led by CNN and the New York Times, that the United States failed to destroy Iran’s nuclear program and only set it back by months.
These outlets cited an &#8220;inconclusive, low confidence intelligence assessment &#8230; leaked from deep state intel analysis to deep state news,” an administration official told The Daily Wire earlier this week.
Since then, CIA Director John Ratcliffe <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cia-reveals-intelligence-showing-u-s-destroyed-key-iranian-nuclear-facilities?author=Mary+Margaret+Olohan&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=CIA+Reveals+Intelligence+Showing+U.S.+%E2%80%98Destroyed%E2%80%99+Key+Iranian+Nuclear+Facilities">said</a> that the agency has new intelligence indicating “several key Iranian nuclear facilities were destroyed” by the recent American strikes; Director of National Intelligence&#8217;s Tulsi Gabbard cited “new intelligence” showing that “Iran’s nuclear facilities have been destroyed&#8221;; and the president himself excoriated CNN&#8217;s reporter who broke the story, Natasha Betrand, pointing to her reporting denouncing the Hunter Biden laptop story — which was completely true — as “Russian disinformation.”
Trump then headed to the Netherlands for the NATO summit, where he convinced the leaders of member states to raise defense spending to 5% of their country’s gross domestic product by 2035. That&#8217;s a major victory for the White House and the president, who called it a &#8220;tremendous victory,&#8221; and who has long demanded that “freeloading” NATO allies pay their fair share for their own security.
&#8220;Winning is easy when the most consequential president in history is back at the helm,&#8221; White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers told The Daily Wire. &#8220;President Trump has restored America’s dominance on the world stage and kept the promises he made to over 77 million Americans across the country. America is hot again, and we aren’t tired of winning yet!”
As he spoke to reporters on Friday, Trump pointed to the next big White House goal: getting the &#8220;Big, Beautiful Bill&#8221; signed.
Trump has called for lawmakers to get the bill on his desk by July 4. At an event for the bill at the White House on Thursday, flanked by the parents of children killed by illegal aliens, Border Czar Tom Homan argued that holding up the bill is putting American lives at risk.
&#8220;Every day we arrest a public safety threat, it makes this country much safer,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Who the hell would be against that? I get pissed off because I&#8217;m sick of meeting Angel Moms and Dads. You want to talk about family separation? They buried their children.&#8221;
Trump called on the Senate to get the job done as he headed to the NATO summit earlier this week, even suggesting they lock themselves in a room if they must as they work with the House of Representatives to reach a deal.
His direction was clear: “Don’t go home.”
“It will be a Historic Present for THE GREAT PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, as we begin the Celebration of our Country’s 250th Birthday,” the president wrote in a Truth Social <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114738729363742349" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on Tuesday. “We are finally entering our Golden Age, which will bring unprecedented Safety, Security, and Prosperity for ALL of our Citizens.”
“NO ONE GOES ON VACATION UNTIL IT’S DONE,” the president warned. And during the briefing on Friday, he suggested that Democrats who vote against the bill are &#8220;voting in favor&#8221; of the largest tax hike in the &#8220;history of our country.&#8221;

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt jabbed at members of the press corps during a Thursday briefing as she touted the success of Operation Midnight Hammer.
Leavitt’s regularly-scheduled briefing came just hours after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hosted a news conference to clear up confusion surrounding the United States military’s strikes on Iranian Nuclear facilities — confusion that was due in large part to a CNN report based on a “preliminary” intelligence assessment.
Leavitt began by reiterating the points made by Hegseth during that news conference, saying that the intended targets — three major nuclear facilities in Iran — had been rendered inoperable after the strikes.
