| | | WHAT WE'RE WATCHING | | 🏆 Trump signed an order banning men from women's sports. President Trump signed an executive order at the White House flanked by young female athletes, ensuring that women's sports will remain exclusive to women. The US will "rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities," according to the bill, "which results in the endangerment … of women and girls and deprives them of privacy." | ⏸ AG Pam Bondi paused all federal funding for sanctuary cities. On her first day as attorney general, Bondi issued a directive to stop all federal funding for sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration laws. Bondi's day-one directives also included creating a "Weaponization Working Group" to review instances of "politicized justice," and working with Homeland Security to eliminate cartels. | 🪖 Hundreds of troops were sent to Guantanamo Bay for migrant facilities. Around 300 military personnel have been deployed to Guantanamo Bay to help build shelters for deported migrants as part of the Trump administration's mass deportation efforts. Additional troops are expected to arrive in the coming weeks to help with construction and security, with plans to house up to 30,000 migrants on the island. | 🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Biden-Obama-Clinton-allied groups wage lawfare against Trump. Upward News' new investigative journalist, Victoria Churchill, uncovered how Democracy Foward, a group with ties to top Democrats, is leading the charge to block Trump's federal grant freeze by filing a lawsuit against his executive order. The supposedly unbiased non-profit is stacked with left-wing operatives and even provides resources to federal workers on how to evade participation in certain investigations. |

| *Indicates content from our sponsors | | | THE MAIN STORY | Does Trump really want to rebuild Gaza? | | What's happening: During a Tuesday night press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Donald Trump called for the US to take over Gaza and fully dismantle its infrastructure, including buildings and even unexploded bombs. | Relocating Palestinians: A key part of this new plan — hailed by Netanyahu as "something that could change history" — is the relocating of Palestinians to new communities in Egypt or Jordan, with the financial backing of wealthy nations in the region. | | American reactions: Trump's plan to take over the Gaza Strip has splintered conservatives. The plan was celebrated by commentator Ben Shapiro as "absolutely transformative," and Breitbart Senior Editor-at-large Joel Pollack observed that Trump made his billions on accomplishing these kinds of deals — and that he may just transform Gaza into "a little island of prosperity." | Not every conservative hailed the proposal. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) knocked the move, saying, "I thought we voted for America First." Famously hawkish Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) even hesitated, claiming the idea is "problematic."
| 3-D Chess: Many on the right believe the proposal is actually just a negotiating tactic to attain concessions from Israel and its Arab neighbors. If the United States took control of Gaza, that would effectively end Israel's campaign in the region — something Trump wants but Netanyahu does not, as his goal is to entirely eliminate Hamas. | The upshot: One remark made by Trump, which could be the focal point of the entire proposal, is that the displaced Palestinians will not be permitted to return to Gaza. The Israelis likely believe a Palestinian presence in Gaza is too dangerous and are pushing to move the population further away. | Why it matters: Whether or not President Trump's proposal for the US to control Gaza is just a negotiating tactic, it represents a stark departure from years of status quo in the region and signals Trump's willingness to take unorthodox approaches in foreign policy. | |
