A bombshell audit from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy reveals that California, under the direction of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), illegally issued thousands of Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) to dangerous foreign truck drivers. Duffy said the CDLs are now being revoked.
This week, Duffy’s Department of Transportation (DOT) announced that the California Department of Motor Vehicles admitted to illegally issuing 17,000 CDLs to foreign truck drivers, who DOT officials said are dangerous and unqualified to drive semi-trucks.
“After weeks of claiming they did nothing wrong, Gavin Newsom and California have been caught red-handed,” Duffy said in a statement:
Now that we’ve exposed their lies, 17,000 illegally issued trucking licenses are being revoked. This is just the tip of the iceberg. My team will continue to force California to prove they have removed every illegal immigrant from behind the wheel of semitrucks and school buses.
Duffy said that the 17,000 foreign truck drivers who were issued CDLs by California have now been notified that their licenses do not meet federal requirements and will expire in 60 days.

Tesla CEO and notorious hypemaster Elon Musk has suggested a new use for the company’s Optimus humanoid robots — having them track and surveil former criminals to prevent them from reoffending. Musk plans to end prisons in favor of a “more humane form of containment of future crime.”
Futurism reports that at a recent Tesla shareholder meeting, Elon Musk unveiled his latest unconventional idea: using the company’s Optimus robots to monitor criminals and intervene if they attempt to commit new crimes. Musk framed this as a “more humane form of containment of future crime” compared to the current prison system.
“You don’t have to put people in prisons and stuff,” Musk said. “If somebody’s committed crime, you now get a free Optimus and it’s just gonna follow you around and stop you from doing crime. But other than that you get to do anything. It’s just gonna stop you from committing crime, that’s really it.”
The proposal immediately generated controversy and raised numerous ethical and practical questions. Musk provided few details on how exactly the robots, which are still in early development, would be able to identify and prevent criminal acts. There are also significant concerns around privacy, surveillance, and the societal implications of having for-profit robots integrated into the criminal justice system.
“This shows a complete lack of understanding of criminology, the justice system, and frankly, basic human rights,” said Michael Johnson, a legal expert at the Brookings Institution. “The idea that a robot can somehow rehabilitate offenders better than comprehensive support programs is absurd. It comes across as a dystopian surveillance scheme more than anything else.” (Read more from “Elon Musk Plans to End Prisons by Having His Robots Follow Crooks and Stop Them from ‘Doing Crime’” HERE)

Newly released emails from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein appear to claim that President Donald Trump was aware of Epstein’s relationships with underage girls, according to documents made public Wednesday by House Democrats.
The three emails — part of a 20,000-page tranche of Epstein estate records — were shared by Democrats on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, revealing previously unseen correspondence between Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and author Michael Wolff.
In one 2011 message to Maxwell, Epstein wrote, “That dog that hasn’t barked is Trump… [victim] spent hours at my house with him… he has never once been mentioned.”
Another email from 2019 to Wolff reads, “[Victim] Mar-a-Lago. [REDACTED]. Trump said he asked me to resign, never a member ever. Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.”
Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the top Democrat on the Oversight panel, said the emails raise urgent questions about what Trump and his administration knew — and when.
“The more Donald Trump tries to cover up the Epstein files, the more we uncover,” Garcia said in a statement. “These latest emails raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding. The Department of Justice must release the Epstein files to the public immediately.”
Democrats have been pushing for the DOJ to fully declassify Epstein-related materials, a move that could gain traction as the House prepares to vote to reopen the government. Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) is expected to be sworn in Wednesday, providing the final signature needed to force floor action on the bill compelling the DOJ to release all Epstein documents.
The White House condemned Democrats’ release of the emails as “selective and misleading,” defending Trump’s past actions toward Epstein.
“The Democrats selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative to smear President Trump,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “President Trump kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club decades ago for being a creep to his female employees, including Virginia Giuffre.”
Leavitt noted that the victim referenced in the emails — whose name Democrats redacted — was Virginia Giuffre, the former Mar-a-Lago employee and one of Epstein’s most vocal accusers, who died by suicide earlier this year.
“Giuffre repeatedly said President Trump was not involved in any wrongdoing whatsoever,” Leavitt added. “These stories are nothing more than bad-faith efforts to distract from President Trump’s accomplishments and the government reopening.”
Giuffre’s family criticized Trump earlier this year after he claimed Epstein had “stolen” her from Mar-a-Lago.
“It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been ‘stolen,’” her family said. “It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal actions.”
Epstein’s correspondence with Wolff shows a calculated attempt to use Trump’s public image to his advantage. In one message, Wolff suggested that if Trump denied their relationship, Epstein could gain “political currency.”
“If he says he hasn’t been on the plane or to the house, that gives you valuable PR and political currency,” Wolff wrote. “If it looks like he could win, you could save him, generating a debt.”
In a separate controversy earlier this year, Trump sued The Wall Street Journal for defamation after it published a story revealing a 2003 birthday note he allegedly wrote to Epstein. The note — later verified by the Oversight Committee — referred to a “wonderful secret” and said the two men “have certain things in common.”
The email release comes just days after House Judiciary Democrats revealed whistleblower claims that Ghislaine Maxwell is receiving “concierge-style treatment” in a Texas federal prison while preparing to seek a commutation of her sentence from Trump.
According to those reports, Maxwell has access to staff-only areas, private workouts, and custom meal deliveries — privileges that critics say highlight her ongoing influence and connections.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday that the Trump administration is considering setting an income cap for President Trump’s proposed $2,000 “tariff dividend,” potentially restricting the benefit to families earning less than $100,000 a year.
“Well, there are a lot of options here — the president’s talking about a $2,000 rebate, and that would be for families making less than, say, $100,000,” Bessent said during an appearance on Fox & Friends. When pressed on whether a final decision had been made, he clarified, “We haven’t. It’s in discussion.”
The proposal follows a turbulent week for the administration, coming days after Trump defended his use of “reciprocal” tariffs before the Supreme Court. The president first floated the idea of a $2,000 dividend last week but offered few details on how it would be funded or distributed.
Bessent later elaborated on ABC’s This Week, suggesting that the payments could take various forms — including tax relief. “It could be just the tax decreases that we are seeing,” he said, referencing provisions in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the sweeping economic package Trump signed into law earlier this year.
According to Bessent, the administration’s broader tax strategy — which eliminates taxes on tips, overtime pay, and Social Security income — has already begun delivering “big refunds” for working families. He also highlighted a lesser-known feature of the same law: the creation of “Trump accounts” for children under 18. Between 2025 and 2028, the federal government will open accounts for minors and deposit a one-time $1,000 contribution for each.
Trump teased the idea of a $2,000 dividend again on social media Sunday, writing that “a dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone.” But analysts and lawmakers remain skeptical about the feasibility of such a payout.
Any large-scale direct payment program would require congressional approval, and even some Republicans have expressed concerns about the cost. “It’ll never pass,” Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) said in July. “We have a $37 trillion debt.”
Revenue from Trump’s tariffs, enacted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), has totaled roughly $90 billion since their implementation, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data. That figure pales in comparison to the hundreds of billions needed to fund a nationwide $2,000 dividend.
The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget previously estimated that a similar COVID-era proposal for $2,000 stimulus checks would cost about $464 billion. Even with an income cap of $100,000, the payments would still likely carry a price tag of around $300 billion, according to Erica York, vice president of federal tax policy at the Tax Foundation.

The House on Wednesday passed a funding bill to end the longest government shutdown in US history, sending the legislation to President Trump’s desk for the final step to end the 43-day standoff.
In a 222-209 vote, the House voted to pass the funding bill it received from the Senate which will restart paychecks for federal workers and air traffic controllers, and fund food assistance programs.
The legislation finally “reopens the government, restores critical services, and puts an end to the needless hardship Democrats have inflicted on the country,” said GOP House Appropriations Committee Chairman Tom Cole of Oklahoma.
Trump will sign the measure into law Wednesday night in the Oval Office, officially ending the shutdown.
“We feel very relieved tonight,” House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told reporters after the vote. “The Democrat shutdown is finally over thanks to House and Senate Republicans, who stood together to get the job done.” (Read more from “House Votes to End Unprecedented Government Shutdown After 43 Days, Sending Funding Bill to Trump’s Desk” HERE)

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released a trove of Epstein-related files on Wednesday following House Democrats’ release of emails showing Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell discussing President Donald Trump. . .
The emails released by the Republicans are also not flattering for Trump, with an exchange including Epstein writing, “you see , i know how dirty donald is.”
The email dated August 23, 2018, appears to show Epstein and former Obama White House Counsel Kathy Ruemmler discussing Trump’s former fixer, Michael Cohen, flipping on him.
The subject line on the email chain reads, “NYTimes: Donald Trump’s High Crimes and Misdemeanors” and begins with Ruemmler sharing an article with Epstein. “Here’s a story from The New York Times that I thought you’d find interesting: The principled case for impeachment is clear. What’s missing is the courage,” reads Ruemmler’s email. “Donald Trump’s High Crimes and Misdemeanors” is the title of August 22, 2018 oped in the Times by Bret Stephens that included the sub head, “The principled case for impeachment is clear. What’s missing is the courage.”
Epstein replied:
I think he makes the argument that it was his, trumps money , making it not illegal. though he also said he only found out afterwards? and the fact according to the indicment [sic] was billed as services rendered and grossed up. im sure his acct has flipped anyway. , I did talk in detail to starr yesterday re indicments [sic] how trump can make a deal (special counsel). clintons trash can yes starr gave me more. YECHHHH!.

A discharge petition for a bill to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein got enough signatures Wednesday to force action on the matter, teeing up a long-sought vote on the House floor relating to the convicted sex offender.
Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) became the 218th and final signature on the discharge petition shortly after she was sworn in Wednesday. She joined all other Democrats and four Republicans: Reps. Thomas Massie (Ky.), Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.), Lauren Boebert (Colo.) and Nancy Mace (S.C.).
Grijalva signed the petition on the House floor immediately after being sworn in as Democrats in the chamber cheered and two Epstein survivors looked on from the gallery.
“Just this morning, House Democrats released more emails showing that [President] Trump knew more about Epstein’s abuses than he previously acknowledged. It’s about time for Congress to restore its role as a check and balance on this administration and fight for we, the American people,” she said in her first speech.
She added, “Justice cannot wait another day.” (Read more from “Discharge Petition to Force House Vote on Epstein Files Succeeds With Grijalva’s Signature” HERE)

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that Veterans Day will now also be known as “Victory Day for World War I,” marking a symbolic shift meant to emphasize America’s military triumphs and global leadership in the 20th century.
Speaking at Arlington National Cemetery during a blustery outdoor ceremony, Trump said he was inspired by other nations’ celebrations of wartime victories and wanted the United States to “properly honor the wars we won.”
“Today is not only Veterans Day, but it’s my proclamation that we are now going to be saying and calling [it] Victory Day for World War I,” Trump said, standing before rows of headstones as cold winds swept across the hallowed ground.
Trump cited France’s celebrations of Armistice Day and Russia’s annual Victory Day parade, saying America had been “too modest” about its own military achievements.
“I saw France celebrating Victory Day, and I saw the UK and Russia doing it too. They were all celebrating — and we’re the ones that won the wars,” Trump said to applause from attendees. “From now on, we’re going to say Victory Day for World War I and World War II. And maybe someday, somebody else will add a few more — because we won a lot of good ones.”
Before delivering his remarks, Trump laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, joined by Vice President JD Vance, an Iraq War veteran, and Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins.
The ceremony took place under harsh weather conditions, with wind gusts around 16 miles per hour and wind chills below freezing. Trump, wearing a scarf and gloves, saluted as the military band played “Taps” in tribute to fallen service members.
“Our heroes have lived through unthinkable nightmares so we could live the American dream — and the American dream is coming back again, stronger than ever before,” Trump said. “You’ll see that as the next few years evolve.”
Trump had first floated the idea of renaming Veterans Day earlier this year, posting on Truth Social in May that he wanted May 8—the anniversary of Germany’s surrender in 1945—to be recognized as “Victory Day for World War II.” While that proclamation did not materialize, his latest remarks suggest a renewed effort to institutionalize “Victory Day” alongside Veterans Day on November 11, the date of the World War I armistice.
The official White House Veterans Day proclamation, released Monday, made no mention of the new title, though Trump’s public statement appears to make the change ceremonial for now.
A small plane carrying two people on a Christian hurricane-relief mission to Jamaica crashed Monday morning in Coral Springs, Florida, killing both on board just minutes after takeoff.
Authorities later confirmed that the victims were Alexander Wurm, 53, the CEO of the evangelical ministry Ignite the Fire, and his daughter Serena Wurm, 22. The two were traveling to deliver hurricane-relief supplies to communities in Jamaica when tragedy struck.
“Alexander, known for his warmth and unwavering kindness, devoted his life to serving others — both through his actions and by sharing the gospel of Jesus across the globe,” Ignite the Fire said in a heartfelt social media statement. “He and Serena were on a mission to bring help and hope to those in need.”
The turboprop King Air plane, manufactured in 1976, went down in a retention pond inside a gated residential neighborhood in Coral Springs, a suburb northwest of Fort Lauderdale. Witnesses said the aircraft narrowly missed several homes before crashing just five minutes after takeoff.

According to the Coral Springs Police Department, both occupants were pronounced dead at the scene. No residents on the ground were injured.
“The crash occurred shortly after departure. The plane came down into a pond, just yards away from several houses,” said one local resident, describing the frightening moment.
Authorities have not yet released the cause of the crash and said investigators would remain in the area through Tuesday to collect evidence and document the scene.
Records from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) identify the downed aircraft as a King Air model capable of seating seven to twelve people. Federal records show it was registered to International Air Services, a company that manages trust agreements allowing non-U.S. citizens to register aircraft with the FAA.
Flight-tracking data from FlightAware indicates the plane had made four previous trips between Jamaica and the Cayman Islands over the past week, stopping in Fort Lauderdale on Friday before Monday’s ill-fated flight.
Wurm’s ministry, Ignite the Fire, is known for organizing international outreach projects and humanitarian missions across the Caribbean and Central America. Supporters described him as a man of deep faith and relentless compassion, often seen leading teams into disaster-stricken areas to provide food, aid, and the gospel.
Messages of grief and prayer poured in across social media from friends, mission partners, and churches around the world.
“Alexander and Serena lived out their faith in action,” one post read. “They died doing what they loved — serving God and serving others.”

Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa deflected responsibility for the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks during a Fox News interview on Monday.
Nearly 3,000 people died across New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pa. during the 9/11 attacks, according to the Pew Research Center. When asked directly on “Special Report with Bret Baier” if he regrets the attack, al-Sharaa distanced himself entirely from the event.
“I was only 19 years old, so I was a very young person, and I didn’t have any decision-making power at that time, and I don’t have anything to do with it,” al-Sharaa said. “And al-Qaeda was not present right then in my area. So you’re speaking to the wrong person about this subject.”
The Syrian leader then shifted the conversation.
“We mourn for every civilian that got killed, and we know that people suffer from the war, especially civilians who pay the price, a hefty price for the war,” al-Sharaa said.
President Donald Trump hosted al-Sharaa at the White House on Monday, welcoming the former al-Qaeda member who once fought U.S. forces in Iraq and served time in Abu Ghraib prison. The U.S. government removed al-Sharaa from its terror list just days before his meeting with Trump, according to CBS News.
