WASHINGTON—Erika Kirk will attend the State of the Union on Tuesday evening as a special guest of President Donald Trump, The Daily Wire can first report.
Kirk will be present in the audience as the president delivers an address that will mention both Erika Kirk and her late husband, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in September while speaking at Utah Valley University.
Kirk&#8217;s assassination rocked the world, prompting what many recognized as a spiritual awakening throughout the United States. During his remarks, Trump will highlight the “tremendous revival of faith, Christianity, and belief in God in our country&#8221; since Kirk&#8217;s death, a White House official shared.
The president will also affirm that America is &#8220;one nation under God,&#8221; and, referencing the wave of political violence that has shocked Americans over the last few years, Trump will call on all members of Congress to &#8220;firmly reject political violence against our fellow citizens.&#8221;
Charlie Kirk left behind his wife and two young children, a daughter and a son. Erika Kirk has since taken over Turning Point USA, as her husband wished, urging Americans across the nation to live as her husband encouraged and to draw closer to Jesus Christ.
During a massive memorial service for Charlie Kirk in September, top members of the Trump administration went to Arizona to eulogize their departed friend and to stand with his family. Both the president and Vice President JD Vance spoke at the service, where Trump called Erika Kirk&#8217;s response to the tragedy both &#8220;beautiful&#8221; and &#8220;strong.&#8221;
Erika Kirk, as she spoke about her husband to the estimated 100,000 attendees, emotionally forgave her husband&#8217;s killer.
“That young man, that young man,” she said. “On the cross, our savior said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ That man, that young man, I forgive him. I forgive him because it was what Christ did, and is what Charlie would do. The answer to hate is not hate. The answer we know, from the Gospel, is love and always love.”
A month later, Trump had Erika Kirk at the White House again to posthumously award Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Since her husband&#8217;s death she has continued to represent TPUSA, her husband, and their political and religious values on the world stage, despite aggressive smear campaigns from online commentators. She has been repeatedly distinguished by the Trump administration, including by the president, Vice President JD Vance, and Second Lady Usha Vance.
&#8220;President Trump has been a source of strength for Erika, constantly checking in with her over the last five months, and Erika is incredibly honored to be invited by the president to attend tonight&#8217;s State of the Union,&#8221; Turning Point USA spokesman Matt Shupe told The Daily Wire. &#8220;Erika has been thrust into an enormously important role by fate and tragedy and because Charlie chose her should the horrible moment ever come, and she has risen to the occasion with grace, dignity, and a lot of hard work.&#8221;
As evidence of Erika Kirk&#8217;s hard work, Shupe pointed to the explosive growth that TPUSA has experienced in the aftermath of the assassination, to TPUSA&#8217;s &#8220;All-American Halftime show&#8221; that garnered over 50 million viewers, and the &#8220;most ambitious spring and summer tour season in TPUSA&#8217;s history&#8221; ahead of them.
&#8220;Her leadership has been incredible to witness,&#8221; he said. &#8220;No one should ever be asked to do what she has done under the circumstances, but she is an inspiration to the whole TPUSA family, the nation, and to young people everywhere.&#8221;

A gunman identified by authorities as Tyler Robinson has been charged with shooting Kirk in the neck and killing him on September 10, 2025, just as Kirk was answering questions on transgender shooters. Robinson lived with his “transgender partner,” a man named Lance Twiggs, who is attempting to transition to a transgender female.
Trump&#8217;s State of the Union address will focus on ending the political violence that has plagued the country in recent years.
That attack came only weeks after trans-identifying shooter Robin Westman killed Catholic schoolchildren in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during a church shooting. And that attack came just two years after another in which a trans-identifying killer targeted Christian school children in Nashville.
Earlier this month, another <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/youtube-confirms-trans-themed-page-is-linked-to-canada-mass-shooting-suspect?author=Leif+Le+Mahieu&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Canada+School+Attacker+Was+Trans+Identifying+Man%2C+Police+Confirm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">transgender-identifying attacker</a> in Canada opened fire on a rural school in British Columbia, killing nine and injuring dozens, and only last week, yet another <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/transgender-identifying-man-opens-fire-at-rhode-island-hockey-game-killing-two">man who identifies as a woman</a> opened fire at a high school hockey game in Rhode Island.
These instances of transgender violence do not include the politically motivated attacks on the president himself.
Ahead of the 2024 election season, a gunman attempted to kill President Trump as he spoke in Butler, Pennsylvania, narrowly missing the president&#8217;s head and grazing his ear with a bullet. Soon afterward, authorities arrested another gunman in Florida attempting to kill the president at his golf course. And on Sunday, the Secret Service <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/armed-intruder-with-shotgun-sparks-deadly-secret-service-response-at-mar-a-lago">shot and killed</a> a man who entered Mar-a-Lago carrying a gun after breaking through the security perimeter.
&#8220;In the middle of the night while most Americans were asleep, the United States Secret Service acted quickly and decisively to neutralize a crazy person, armed with a gun and a gas canister, who intruded President Trump’s home,&#8221; White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Sunday.
&#8220;Federal law enforcement are working 24/7 to keep our country safe and protect all Americans,&#8221; she added, hitting at Democrats for shutting down the Department of Homeland Security. &#8220;It’s shameful and reckless that Democrats have chosen to shut down their Department.&#8221;
On Monday, the president addressed the Mar-A-Lago shooting, saying at an event at the White House: “I don’t know how long I’ll be around. Got a lot of people gunning for me.”
“You know, if you read about all these crazy shooters, they don’t go after non-consequential presidents,” he added jokingly, referring to former presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. “So maybe I want to be a little less consequential? Can we hold it back a little bit, please? Can this be a normal presidency for a little while?”

The White House says “the parties are pretty far apart” on reaching a deal to end the lapse in funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
DHS is enduring a shutdown confined to its own department, which started on Friday after a continuing resolution expired. The debate moving forward centers on federal immigration enforcement tactics, even though ICE is still largely funded through the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” signed by President Donald Trump last year.
“In terms of the written offer that was transmitted from the Democrats, the parties are still pretty far apart. The administration remains interested in good-faith conversations to end the Democrat shutdown before more Americans feel the impacts,” a White House official told The Daily Wire in a statement on background Tuesday.
“But the administration also remains committed to carrying out the President’s promise to enforce federal immigration law,” the official added.
Not only are Democrats and Republicans not seeing eye to eye on how to move forward, Congress is on recess this week, which means that agencies like TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard will be without funding for the time being – meaning those essential workers are at risk of going without a paycheck even if they show up to work.
The exact details of the offers sent between Democrats and the White House have been largely private, as Democratic leadership went public with their original list of requests earlier this month, ranging from using judicial warrants for arrests to no longer permitting officers to wear masks while conducting operations.
“This is why there must be a full, independent investigation of every incident that ICE has been involved in,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) posted to X on Friday in response to a Politico article headlined, “ICE says federal agents appear to have lied about confrontation that led to shooting.”
“DHS and this administration cannot be trusted to carry out investigations on their own. And it’s why Democrats are fighting to rein in ICE,” he added.
Meanwhile, Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) blasted Democrats on the Senate floor on Friday, as a second continuing resolution was rejected to keep immigration talks going without risking the department’s funding.
“We want to continue this conversation, but yet you’re penalizing a TSA agent. A TSA agent is gonna go without a paycheck. Why? So that you can posture politically. I’m over it. Everybody on that side of the aisle knows that ICE and CBP will continue to be funded,” the Republican said, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/homeland-security-shutdown-likely-as-schumer-accuses-trump-admin-of-thuggery?author=Cameron+Arcand&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Homeland+Security+Shutdown+Likely+As+Schumer+Accuses+Trump+Admin+Of+%E2%80%98Thuggery%E2%80%99" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
In the fall, the government faced a 43-day shutdown that resulted in a high number of TSA agents calling out, as they were working without pay.
“This one’s very different than the first. First, air traffic controllers are paid. They’ve been funded through the first appropriations bill a couple of weeks ago. That was the big linchpin concern for us in the first one,” President and CEO of Airlines for America, Chris Sununu, told <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/could-the-homeland-security-shutdown-impact-your-travel-plans?author=Cameron+Arcand&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Could+The+Homeland+Security+Shutdown+Impact+Your+Travel+Plans%3F" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> last week.
There was a second brief government shutdown earlier this month that was averted as part of a deal to split DHS funding from the rest of the spending package, as the rest of the federal government except for DHS remains fully funded through the end of the fiscal year in September.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump released a plan on Friday to expand American shipbuilding, ease regulations on commercial carriers, and boost domestic maritime jobs.
The plan represents what the White House called &#8220;the first holistic approach&#8221; to strengthening the maritime industry in the United States and streamlining government procurement, Principal Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly told reporters on Friday morning.
The White House said the initiative would involve &#8220;hundreds of billions of dollars&#8221; in new investments, fulfilling Trump&#8217;s promise &#8220;to build ships in America.&#8221;
Kelly argued that America&#8217;s &#8220;strategic position and shipbuilding industrial capacity&#8221; has been weakened over the decades due to unnecessary regulatory burdens and a lack of sustained policy focus.
Kelly also accused foreign competitors of using unfair trade practices to expand their shipbuilding industries.
The White House described Trump as the first president in decades to elevate &#8220;American maritime dominance&#8221; as a priority, pointing to the newly released plan.

&#8220;He has done more than anyone to revitalize this vital sector for our national security,&#8221; Kelly said, citing his April 2025 executive order directing his team to craft a maritime action plan.
The plan calls for strengthening maritime supply chains, developing a strategy to secure Arctic waterways, expanding the fleet of American-built and American-flagged commercial vessels, and recapitalizing government-owned sealift ships.
Kelly said the plan would improve coordination among federal agencies involved in ship procurement. She added that it would expand government programs, encourage private investment in domestic shipbuilding, and pursue deregulation.
A copy of the plan indicates that the proposal is structured around four key pillars: expanding domestic shipbuilding capacity, reforming maritime workforce education and training, protecting the industrial base from foreign competition, and strengthening national security.
The document concludes by projecting that the plan will &#8220;reestablish America’s position as a global maritime power,&#8221; thereby strengthening national security and economic prosperity.

WASHINGTON—As the nation&#8217;s capital braces for a partial government shutdown that would impact the Department of Homeland Security, the White House is warning that it is all but certain to occur — and says the Democrats will be to blame.
&#8220;They&#8217;re going to shut the department down,&#8221; a senior White House official said on a call with reporters Thursday afternoon in reference to the Department of Homeland Security. &#8220;They&#8217;re going to deprive Americans of critical services such as FEMA, such as TSA, and what will be the third partial government shutdown of this Congress.
&#8220;Make no mistake,&#8221; the official added, &#8220;this is a Democrat-driven shutdown that is caused by their intransigence and desire to use government funding for services all Americans rely on as a hostage in order to achieve unrelated political goals. The administration remains interested in working with these guys in good faith, but we will not be held hostage on an issue that the president was elected on.&#8221; 
On Thursday, Senate Democrats voted to block a motion to advance the House bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security and more than 260,000 federal staff. That motion failed by a 52-47 vote, thereby rejecting the White House&#8217;s offer to compromise.
The White House had sought a bipartisan agreement on the overall spending level in December, the senior White House official told reporters, and over the next few months, engaged in bipartisan negotiations over the remaining appropriations bills, culminating in a bipartisan deal on &#8220;all of the outstanding bills.&#8221;
<div id="attachment_1043285" style="width: 875px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrats-will-shut-down-the-department-of-homeland-security-this-week-white-house-says/topshot-us-politics-congress-immigration" rel="attachment wp-att-1043285"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-1043285" class="wp-image-1043285 size-large" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/02/GettyImages-2260385505-865x576.jpg" alt="" width="865" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/02/GettyImages-2260385505-865x576.jpg 865w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/02/GettyImages-2260385505-300x200.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/02/GettyImages-2260385505-768x512.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2026/02/GettyImages-2260385505.jpg 1024w" sizes=" (max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px" /></a>(Photo by ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS / AFP via Getty Images)</div>
In early February, due to the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Democrats &#8220;repudiated that agreement,&#8221; the official said, which &#8220;jeopardized the entire funding package that had previously been negotiated on a bipartisan basis.&#8221;
&#8220;At the request of congressional Democrats, the administration acceded to a bipartisan compromise,&#8221; the official explained. &#8220;We would take five of the six bills that were still outstanding appropriations bills, and we would pass those as a full year, but the Department of Homeland Security&#8217;s funding bill, we would put on a temporary two-week extension.&#8221; 
That two-week extension expires Friday at midnight, meaning that DHS will shut down tomorrow night. 
Democrats sent the White House their lengthy position letter on February 4 and followed up on Saturday, February 7, with the legislative text. The White House reviewed that text over the weekend and put together a position paper in response that they sent back on Monday — working &#8220;in good faith&#8221; to produce some legislative specifications.
&#8220;Those legislative specs are substantive, they are detailed, they are serious, and they are binding on the administration,&#8221; the official said, noting that those specifications were transmitted on Wednesday evening.  
Yet, at this point, the official said, &#8220;It seems clear that the Democrats are gonna walk away from that bipartisan conversation&#8221; and allow DHS to be shut down. 
As for specific provisions that the White House and Democrats can&#8217;t agree on, the White House official cautioned that the White House won&#8217;t be negotiating in public. But one very challenging aspect is the judicial warrants, the official said.
&#8220;Ultimately, the red line here is: [We&#8217;re] certainly happy to take feedback and work in a bipartisan way to ensure, as we&#8217;ve seen with Tom Homan in Minneapolis, that we&#8217;re enforcing immigration law in the optimal way possible, but the administration is not going to accept concessions that meaningfully affect its ability to carry out its immigration enforcement agenda.&#8221;

Democrats Will Shut Down The Department Of Homeland Security This Week, White House Says

On Thursday, President Trump returned to the National Prayer Breakfast and proceeded to give a speech that was reasonably religious in overtones.
Something fascinating about the president is that he&#8217;s been able to do things that a lot of Christian conservatives and religious Jews appreciate while maintaining a largely secular coalition.
What would appear to be a marginal increase in non-Christian affiliation inside the Republican Party is not marginal because the overall loss in the traditional religious constituency in the Republican Party is reflective of an overall loss of religiosity in the American public more generally.
Today, the majority of Republicans are religious, but an increasing percentage are not particularly religious, and it is pretty religiously diverse.
That does not mean that the Republican Party should somehow abandon the moral issues that make the Republican Party the Republican Party. That&#8217;s not my case.
My case is that making the Republican Party non-ecumenical as opposed to ecumenical is a mistake. We’ve seen this sort of move being made on behalf of some parts of the sort of the trad-Catholic Right, some of the quasi-integralists on the Right, who seem to be making a move to break up the Republican coalition by suggesting that there is a vast religious revival that is happening in the country that is going to drive Republicans to victory.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2363-sub?elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowHeadline=Recent+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-974957" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-1024x171.webp" alt="DailyWire+" width="1024" height="171" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-1024x171.webp 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-300x50.webp 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-768x128.webp 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-1536x256.webp 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/511983dad25841c8b1ec058d75769bbe-2048x341.webp 2048w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>
Those numbers do not exist. I wish there were; I wish there were a vast religious revival in the country and that the Republican Party was closer to its biblical moral values. I wish that were the case.
But that is not supported by the data, which is why Trump is the right president for this moment, and it&#8217;s why Republicans have to watch out for coalition building and how not to break it up.
When you talk about the increasing irreligiosity of the body politic, that is correct. That doesn&#8217;t mean that Republicans should abandon social issues. They absolutely should not.
But it does mean that the more overt you are about marginal social issues, the more you are likely to lose the Trump coalition. Trump is winning outsized shares of Christian evangelicals, Catholics, and religious people because the Left is crazy, not because he is campaigning as some sort of religious figure.
If you wish for Republicans to win, then presenting good policy with a moderate face — even if you have outsized rhetoric like President Trump — is a better path to victory than embracing the fringe positions taken by so many on X and elsewhere.
President Trump can go to the National Prayer Breakfast and give what are, at best, sort of vague religious statements. And that&#8217;s fine with people. President Trump literally joked about making it to heaven at the National Prayer Breakfast, saying:
I said, “I’m never going to make it to heaven. I just don’t think I qualify.” I don’t think there’s a thing I can do, but all of these good things I’m doing, including for religion — you know, religion’s back now hotter than ever before — but I said, “Even though I did that, and so many other things” —  I named things. I said, “I won’t qualify. I’m not going to make it to heaven.”
And the New York Times did a front-page story that Donald Trump is questioning his life and the meaning of his life. No, I was just having fun. I really think I probably should make it; I mean, I’m not a perfect candidate, but I did a hell of a lot of good for perfect people.
That last line, that he&#8217;s done a lot of things for people, is the reason he’s been elected president twice. 
President Trump says, listen, you have to believe in something. You have to have a religion in general. 
This is the American position. The American position is that Biblical values are good and that we like religious practice in this country. Freedom of religion and freedom from government intervention in religion are in the same amendment for a reason. That broad ecumenism is a winning approach for the Republicans.
And pointing out the anti-religious secularism of the Left is a winning approach for Republicans.
President Trump has the pulse of the American people on the vast majority of issues, which is why he usually takes the 80% on 80/20 issues.
Republicans need to continue to do that.

WASHINGTON—The White House Correspondents’ Association on Wednesday unveiled its new seating chart for the White House briefing room, giving The Daily Wire a seat in the room. 
The Daily Wire was one of a handful of news outlets granted a seat in the redesigned room. In a letter to members of the White House press corps, the White House Correspondent’s Association said that the new chart took into account the emerging digital media landscape
Mary Margaret Olohan became The Daily Wire’s first-ever White House correspondent just over a year ago, following the inauguration of President Donald Trump. Her assumption of that mantle marked the beginning of The Daily Wire’s Washington, D.C. operations, which continued with the opening of a D.C. Bureau in May and the addition of several new reporters.
There are surprisingly few seats in the briefing room, and reporters without set spots must arrive early and stand in the aisles, often for hours on end. Olohan has become a fixture of White House press briefings, asking questions from the standing room only area in the aisles of the room. 
Just this week, Olohan was seen breaking the news to President Trump in the Oval Office that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem had issued a requirement that all federal immigration agents wear body cams. Earlier this year, Olohan broke the news that the Department of Justice was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-trump-doj-considering-gun-ban-for-transgenders">considering a gun ban</a> for transgender-identifying individuals, exclusively <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/president-trump-to-sign-executive-to-keep-men-out-of-womens-sports">reported</a> that Trump was signing an executive order to keep men out of women&#8217;s sports, and last month that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-vice-president-vance-to-headline-march-for-life">Vice President J.D. Vance was set to speak at the March for Life</a>. 
Among the other media outlets granted a seat in the room for the first time were Semafor, Axios, and NOTUS. Some outlets, including The Daily Beast and Buzzfeed, had their seats taken away from them.
In a letter to members of the White House press corps, the White House Correspondents&#8217; Association said that the new chart took into account the emerging digital media landscape, including newsletters.
A permanent spot is both a testament to the quality of The Daily Wire’s White House coverage and a guarantee that this coverage will continue unabated.

President Donald Trump released a new rendering of the future White House ballroom on Tuesday.
The president posted a photo of what is to come on his Truth Social account. The photo shows the ballroom, which will replace the White House’s East Wing, overlooking a green lawn, with the White House visible in the background to the right.
“This beautiful building will be, when complete, the much anticipated White House Ballroom — The Greatest of its kind ever built!” the president <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/116008650149765600">wrote</a> on social media. “It is a rendering from the Treasury Building, directly across the street, and replaces the very small, dilapidated, and rebuilt many times, East Wing, with a magnificent New East Wing, consisting of a glorious Ballroom that has been asked for by Presidents for over 150 years.”
“Being an identical height and scale, it is totally in keeping with our historic White House. This is the first rendering shown to the Public. If you notice, the North Wall is a replica of the North Facade of the White House, shown at the right hand side of the picture. This space will serve our Country well for, hopefully, Centuries into the future!” Trump said.

Construction on the new ballroom <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/work-begins-on-trumps-new-big-beautiful-white-house-ballroom">began</a> in October with the tearing down of the East Wing. The new ballroom will cost an estimated $250 million, which the president has said will be funded by himself and through private donations, not taxpayer money.
The president has been careful to note that the ballroom is “going to be very much in keeping with the White House.” He personally approved the plans for the addition, not wanting the building to tower over the White House nor look out of place on the White House grounds.
The construction project is the latest major renovation to the White House grounds, with one of the most recent coming in 2009 when former president Barack Obama had the White House tennis court turned into a basketball court.
The ballroom has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/catholic-classical-architect-james-mccrery-to-lead-white-house-ballroom-construction">designed</a> and will be built with oversight from architect James McCrery. McCrery, a professor of architecture at the Catholic University of America, is an expert in classical and traditional architecture. Previously, he has led such projects as the Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Knoxville, Tennessee; Our Lady of the Mountains Church in North Carolina; and St. Mary Help of Christians church in Aiken, South Carolina.
“Presidents in the modern era have faced challenges hosting major events at the White House because it has been untouched since President Harry Truman,” McCrery said in a statement last year.
“I am honored that President Trump has entrusted me to help bring this beautiful and necessary renovation to The People’s House,” he added, “while preserving the elegance of its classical design and historical importance.”
In previous remarks, the president reminded donors that the new ballroom would be constructed to match the architecture of the White House grounds, and include more modern features such as bulletproof glass.
“We&#8217;re going to have a phenomenal ballroom. It&#8217;s going to be one of the best anywhere in the world. There won&#8217;t be anything like it, actually,” the president <a href="https://x.com/Acyn/status/1978613637175787901">said</a>. “It&#8217;s four sides of glass, beautiful glass, but totally appropriate in color and in window shape and everything else with the White House moldings, so it&#8217;s going to be very much in keeping with the White House.”
The ballroom will be about 90,000 square feet and capable of seating around 650 people.

Trump Releases New Rendering Of Future White House Ballroom: ‘Greatest Of Its Kind’

Washington D.C.

President Donald Trump and Senate Democrats agree to a deal as Friday&#8217;s midnight deadline to avoid a partial government shutdown approaches, border czar Tom Homan puts anti-ICE activists on notice, and a federal minority contracting program bans more than a thousand companies after they refuse to prove they did any work.
It’s Friday, January 30, 2026, and this is the news you need to know to start your day. Today’s edition of the Morning Wire podcast can be heard below:
<iframe style="width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 10px;" src="https://embed.podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/homan-crackdown-inbound-government-shutdown-averted/id1576594336?i=1000747327891" height="175" frameborder="0" sandbox="allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation"></iframe>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Government Shutdown Averted?</h2>
The White House and Senate Democrats say they’ve <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-and-senate-dems-strike-deal-ahead-of-government-shutdown">reached</a> a deal to avert a government shutdown as the Friday deadline inches closer. The deal would fund most government departments through September 30 and, in the short term, fund the Department of Homeland Security through a continuing resolution that expires after two weeks. In those two weeks, lawmakers are expected to negotiate over reforms to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. President Trump took to Truth Social on Thursday evening, saying, “I am working hard with Congress to ensure that we are able to fully fund the Government, without delay.” He went on to say that he hopes “both Republicans and Democrats will give a very much needed Bipartisan ‘YES’ Vote.” The deal hit a snag on Thursday night as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/29/shutdown-spending-deal-trump-00756372">reportedly</a> blocked a vote over &#8220;a House-passed provision undoing a law that allows senators to receive cash payouts if they had their phone records seized by former special counsel Jack Smith,&#8221; according to POLITICO.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Homan Vows Activist Crackdown</h2>
Border czar Tom Homan is putting anti-ICE activists on notice that they will be held accountable for obstructing law enforcement. Homan <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/homans-presser-sheds-light-on-trump-admins-shift-on-minneapolis-immigration-raids">took</a> the podium on Thursday for his first significant public remarks since being sent to clean up the mess in Minnesota. And he seemed to have a two-fold message. First, to make it clear that law and order are going to be restored. He pledged to remain on the ground “until the problem’s gone.” Then Homan also made it clear that despite the bad press coming from the shooting deaths of anti-ICE activists Renee Good and Alex Pretti, he’s not going to be deterred from investigating activist networks. Meanwhile, Minnesota Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar is entering the race for governor. She first filed papers a week ago, but the incredibly bad optics of the chaos on the ground in Minneapolis again – the city was ground zero for Black Lives Matter unrest in 2020 – gives Klobuchar a chance to showcase herself as a moderate who will restore order.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Government Contracting Fraud Exposed</h2>
One thousand companies were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-quarter-of-minority-contracting-firms-banned-after-refusing-anti-fraud-check?author=Luke+Rosiak&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=A+Quarter+Of+%E2%80%98Minority+Contracting%E2%80%99+Firms+Banned+After+Refusing+Anti-Fraud+Check">banned</a> from the federal minority contracting program on Wednesday after they declined to provide records showing whether they were actually performing the work or simply keeping a cut while passing the contract to a larger company. The program is known as 8(a). Last month, Kelly Loeffler, the head of the Small Business Administration, which issues <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-the-military-gave-a-homeless-lesbians-minority-contracting-firm-19-million">8(a)</a> status, demanded that all firms provide bank statements and payroll records. It would have been a lot of work for the SBA to go through all those records. But the agency didn’t need to look at many at all, because a lot of fraudsters may have self-identified by choosing not to turn over records that would incriminate them. A quarter of all 8(a) firms, collectively receiving $5 billion over the last four years, didn’t turn anything in.

Federal immigration agents have endured a sharp spike in vehicle-ramming attacks in recent weeks as anti-ICE violence surges, Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin tells The Daily Wire.
McLaughlin sat down with The Daily Wire&#8217;s Mary Margaret Olohan at the White House on the one year anniversary of Trump taking office, and shared the shocking account of the threats federal immigration agents face in cities like Minneapolis, which has become a flashpoint for violent confrontation following a recent fatal shooting during an ICE operation.
And the violence hasn&#8217;t let up since an ICE officer shot and killed protester Renee Good, who appeared to be blocking federal agents before hitting one of them with her car in Minneapolis earlier this month. McLaughlin described such attacks as &#8220;chronic.&#8221;
&#8220;Because we&#8217;re seeing it not just from the rioters themselves, who are blocking our agents in and then weaponizing their vehicles, but we&#8217;re also seeing it from aliens who are targets of our operations. They&#8217;re seeing this as a tactic to potentially evade arrest,&#8221; she said.

Federal immigration agents have been left to fend for themselves in Minneapolis, where local authorities are under the thumb of sanctuary laws, McLaughlin said. She noted that agents have at times been forced to establish their own medical areas after leftist agitators followed them to the hospital.
McLaughlin placed the blame on Minneapolis Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz as anti-ICE attacks surge.
&#8220;It&#8217;s a dangerous situation that Jacob Frey and Tim Walz have allowed to spiral out of control because they&#8217;re not giving our federal law enforcement the backup they need. They won&#8217;t allow any interaction or engagement backup from state and local law enforcement, so what we&#8217;re seeing on the ground is that where our law enforcement are staying or expected to be staying by these rioters, they have bomb threats there,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve seen that our officers have had fireworks launched at them, they&#8217;ve been pummeled by ice chunks, by rocks, pushing, shoving, general assault, but also those vehicular rammings. We&#8217;ve seen a major increase in that, 3,200% increase,&#8221; she added.
Still, DHS remains undeterred, with McLaughlin pledging that Americans can expect more deportations in President Donald Trump&#8217;s second year of his second term.
During the first year of Trump&#8217;s second term, ICE deported 675,000 illegal immigrants. An additional 2.2 million illegal immigrants left on their own, according to DHS.
The Trump administration upped the exit bonus paid to illegal immigrants who voluntarily self-deport from $1,000 to $2,600, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Thursday. McLaughlin said roughly 100,000 people have voluntarily self-deported in the past year.

Top DHS Official Lays Out Spike In Attacks On ICE, Says It’s Becoming ‘Chronic’

Immigration and Customs Enforcement

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado expressed optimism in Washington, D.C., on Friday following her meetings with President Donald Trump and lawmakers on Capitol Hill this week.
“We are definitely now into the first steps of a true transition to democracy that will have not only immense impact in the lives of Venezuelans,” she said at a press conference at The Heritage Foundation. Machado said she was “impressed” by how much the president knew about the situation in Venezuela, saying the president “understands the moment” and the “implication for the whole hemisphere.”
“It took a lot of courage to do what he did,” she said regarding the Jan. 3 military operation that resulted in the capture and arrest of dictator Nicolás Maduro.
Machado, who won the coveted Nobel Peace Prize in 2025, gifted Trump her Nobel medal as the two discussed the next steps for the South American nation.
Shortly after Maduro was brought to the U.S. to face federal narcoterrorism charges, Trump said that Machado did not have the “respect” of the country to be its leader. Prior to Maduro&#8217;s arrest, <a href="https://x.com/cameron_arcand/status/2007660393787715848?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio about the relationship between the U.S. and Machado, with Rubio noting that it had been a while since he and the opposition leader had spoken, saying she &#8220;was in hiding.&#8221;
Maduro’s vice president, Delcy Rodriguez, is now the acting president of the country, albeit with staunch oversight from the United States.
After their Thursday meeting, Trump posted to Truth Social that “It was [his] Great Honor to meet María Corina Machado, of Venezuela, today. She is a wonderful woman who has been through so much. María presented [him] with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Thank you María!”
However, when asked about the leftist acting president, Machado said, “This has nothing to do with tension or decision between Delcy Rodriguez or myself &#8230; This is about the cartel and justice. This is about a criminal regime, and the mandate of the Venezuelan people.”
Trump has adopted more of a conciliatory tone toward Rodriguez, saying that they spoke earlier this week and that “she’s a terrific person,” according to <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/14/trump-delcy-rodriguez-venezuela-00730397" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Politico</a>.
“This morning I had a very good call with the Interim President of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez. We are making tremendous progress, as we help Venezuela stabilize and recover,” the president said in a Wednesday post to Truth Social. “Many topics were discussed, including Oil, Minerals, Trade and, of course, National Security. This partnership between the United States of America and Venezuela will be a spectacular one FOR ALL. Venezuela will soon be great and prosperous again, perhaps more so than ever before!”
Although it’s still very early in the process of navigating Venezuela&#8217;s future, Machado explained that she thinks that the “regime is forced to dismantle themselves” and that there are major steps needed to truly become a democratic nation once again, including the closure of “torture centers,” the liberation of political prisoners, and “guarantees for journalists to speak out.”
“There is a criminal structure of terror … not only of the civilian population but also in the military,” she said. When it comes to having fair elections in Venezuela, she stressed that it’s important for Venezuelans still in the country and around the globe to believe democracy is on the horizon, and she believes people will be willing to return to the country if that is the case.
Maduro remained in power following the 2024 Venezuelan presidential election, with international concerns that it was not conducted fairly. Maduro was up against Edmundo Gonzalez, a political ally of Machado.
In the press conference Friday, she stressed the importance of voting rights for Venezuelans. When it comes to her own political ambitions, she told &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/foxandfriends/status/2012180372755268040?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fox &amp; Friends</a>&#8221; in an interview that aired Friday morning that she is confident she will lead the South American nation one day.
&#8220;I believe I will be elected, when the right time comes, as president of Venezuela,&#8221; she told the outlet.

Venezuelan Opposition Leader Says Next Steps Have To Address ‘The Cartel And Justice’

Europe’s weakness is no longer just Europe’s problem; it is the West’s crisis. For decades, the continent has drifted into complacency, retreating from free markets, hollowing out its militaries, and outsourcing its security to Washington. What began as integration hardened into dependency. The result is a Europe that is economically stagnant, strategically vulnerable, and increasingly unsure of its own identity.
President Trump’s recently released National Security Strategy and the National Defense Authorization Act are the first major American documents in a generation that speak to Europe not as a ward, but as an adult. They state, in effect, that the West cannot survive if its largest democratic bloc insists on remaining structurally weak. America will not abandon Europe, but it will no longer indulge Europe’s illusions. The ball is now in Europe’s court.
Trump’s statecraft is often misdescribed as improvisation. In reality, a Trump Doctrine of strategic sovereignty has emerged. Its core is simple: no nation is entitled to protection from the United States unless it actively contributes to collective security; coalitions are built on shared interests and values, not on inertia; and the West is worth preserving. Once the United States and Europe shared these beliefs, and their alliance was strong on this basis.
This abandons the fantasy of a self-enforcing “rules-based order.” Russia’s attack on Georgia or Ukraine, and other similar powers’ attacks on other weaker countries, have repeatedly shown that there is no universally accepted rules-based order. The simple, stubborn fact is that order is made and maintained by sovereign states that possess power, will, and clarity of purpose. Trump’s approach replaces the old habit of open-ended guarantees with a “balance of sovereigns”: the United States will remain the preeminent Western power, but its allies must become genuine pillars, not permanent dependents, to keep the balance of power in the West and keep at bay geopolitical adversaries that understand solely strength.
Trump has already done more to weaken the Russia-China-Iran-North Korea axis than his predecessor. Trump’s pressure on Moscow has been more consequential than Joe Biden’s. By pushing NATO allies to raise defense spending, by imposing secondary measures that hit Russian oil revenues, and by brokering peace in the Caucasus, Trump has constrained Russia’s maneuvering space.
Iran, once emboldened by Western appeasement, is now reeling. Israeli and American strikes have gutted its nuclear and military infrastructure. Combined with the Abraham Accords and the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace agreement, the Middle East has been reshaped in ways that keep Russia out and leave Tehran increasingly isolated. Iran’s proxies are weakened, its economy strangled, and its strategic depth reduced.
The updated Monroe Doctrine has likewise kept China out of the Western Hemisphere. Beijing’s attempts to buy strategic assets and political influence in Latin America have been blocked or rolled back, while Venezuela’s dictator is now under arrest, with his regime destabilized. Trump’s declarations about the Panama Canal and Greenland should be seen as part of this larger doctrine.
Taken together, these moves have fractured the “unholy alliance” of America’s adversaries. Europe should take note: Trump has shown that strength and clarity can weaken adversaries far more effectively than platitudes and half-measures. The United States is doing its part to reshape the global balance. The question is whether Europe will do its part to reshape itself.
Security begins with production. Europe’s retreat from free-market dynamism has hollowed out its competitiveness. While Trump has pursued reindustrialization, deregulation, near-shoring, and energy abundance in the United States, Europe has doubled down on regulatory maximalism and green utopianism — policies that have driven factories, capital, and talent elsewhere.
A continent that once powered the Industrial Revolution now tries to regulate its way into relevance. High taxes, rigid labor markets, and hostility to conventional and nuclear energy have produced dependence on Russian gas, Chinese supply chains, and American defense spending. There is no single European entity in the top 10 biggest companies, startups, or AI firms, because the European instinct has become “regulate before even creating”. 
Real recovery will not come from new Brussels programs, but from unleashing the energy and initiative of millions of individuals and families who are now trapped under layers of taxation, bureaucracy, and paternalism. Europe does not lack talent; it lacks permission to use it.
Trump’s doctrine treats Europe’s stagnation not as an internal matter, but as a strategic liability. Economic weakness means underfunded militaries, brittle societies, and a politics increasingly tempted by accommodation with authoritarian suppliers of energy and credit. A Europe that cannot sustain industry will not sustain deterrence.
If Europe wants to be something other than a museum of past greatness, it must rediscover growth: lower and simpler taxes, domestic energy, and a serious commitment to frontier technologies. Otherwise, the center of gravity of the democratic world will keep shifting from the Atlantic to the Indo-Pacific, not by American design but by European default.
Trump’s strategy does something European elites have avoided for years: it links power to identity. It speaks of restoring the West’s “civilizational self-confidence” and calls on the nations of the free world to defend their histories, cultures, and borders.
This is not nostalgia. It is strategic clarity. A society that doubts its right to exist cannot project power. A civilization that treats its past as a moral burden will not endure the costs of defense, child-rearing, or long-term investment.
For too long, influential European institutions have treated national identity as suspect, the family as optional, borders as administrative details, and free speech as a negotiable privilege. The result is fragmentation: uncontrolled migration, parallel societies, and cultural self-censorship. In such a context, phrases like “strategic autonomy” are empty. Autonomy presupposes cohesion. 
Trump’s message is that the West is not an NGO; it is a civilization. The President does not seek American domination of Europe. He seeks equilibrium. America First does not mean America Alone; it means an America strong enough to lead, partnered with European allies strong enough to matter. For Europe, that means three things: (a) Rearmament as an act of self-respect, not of deference to Washington. A Europe that cannot field serious forces from the Baltic to the Mediterranean is not “pacifist”; it is strategically unserious. (b) Reindustrialization and energy realism. A continent that shuts down reliable power without viable alternatives, and that drives industry offshore, will find its foreign policy constrained by whoever keeps its lights on. (c) Civilizational recovery. Europe must stop apologizing for its existence. Its nations, cultures and Judeo-Christian roots are not obstacles to the future; they are the only basis on which a free future can be built.
Trump has laid out a doctrine that treats Europe not as a client but as a potential equal. The question is whether Europe will seize this moment or shrink from it.  The United States has made its choice: strength, sovereignty, and renewed Western leadership. If Europe fails to rise, the West will fall, not because America abandoned it, but because Europe abandoned itself.
