Donald Trump unhappy following No Kings Day protests, Rubio engaged in quid pro quo with El Salvador which included outing DOJ informants, ceasefire in Gaza is over, Trump deliberates insurrection act
Good afternoon, everyone. Normally I would wait until Sunday evening to share a news update, but too much has already happened this week for me to stay silent. Here’s what you need to know: Donald Trump has posted a video depicting himself as a king dropping feces on American citizens. The Gaza ceasefire has effectively collapsed. Marco Rubio is caught up in a quid pro quo scandal that could expose DOJ informants. Trump is openly saying the Insurrection Act is “on the table.” And that’s just the beginning.
Let me be clear about one thing: I will not sane-wash what we’re witnessing. For too long, media outlets have shrugged off dangerous behavior as “just Trump being Trump.” I refuse to do that. I will tell you the truth, unfiltered, factual, and accountable.
Reports suggest that Donald Trump was unhappy with the fact that millions of Americans took to the streets during No Kings Day. This morning, following the No Kings day protests, Donald Trump posted the following bizarre AI generated image of himself as a king dropping feces on Americans protesting during the No Kings Day protest:
According to The Washington Post, Secretary of State Marco Rubio allegedly told Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele that the U.S. would send back nine imprisoned MS-13 leaders, some of whom were government-protected informants, in order to secure U.S. access to El Salvador’s notorious Terrorism Confinement Center. The report says the promise, made during a March 13 phone call, was part of a broader Trump administration effort to strengthen ties with Bukele and facilitate deportations to the prison.
Trump said, “Don’t forget I can use the Insurrection Act. Fifty percent of the presidents almost have used that. And that’s unquestioned power,” asserting that the law gives presidents broad authority to deploy the military within the United States.
Trump said that if he were a Democrat, Gavin Newsom would say, “Come on in. What do you have to lose?” When Maria Bartiromo noted he was sending the National Guard to San Francisco next, Trump responded that he was going there because “they want us in San Francisco,” and added that the city “went woke” about fifteen years ago.
When asked by ABC News if he could swear in Adelita Grijalva the next day, Mike Johnson replied, “No, not tomorrow. We couldn’t. We wouldn’t,” indicating that he was unwilling or unable to proceed with her swearing-in at that time.
The Gaza ceasefire neared collapse as Israeli airstrikes killed at least 11 people following alleged Hamas attacks, with Israel calling the violence a “blatant violation” and vowing stronger responses; Hamas denied involvement, accused Israel of escalation, and warned continued strikes would hinder the return of hostage remains, while both sides’ hardline rhetoric cast doubt on the truce’s survival.
Israel has suspended all aid deliveries into Gaza, accusing Hamas of breaching the ceasefire by not returning all deceased hostages, cutting off previously agreed daily convoys and keeping the Rafah crossing closed amid an ongoing famine.
Donald Trump lashed out at Colombia, threatening its President and the country.

The U.S. carried out its seventh recent strike on a vessel in the Caribbean allegedly tied to drug trafficking, killing three people on board, as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the ship was linked to a Colombian terrorist group; the action reflects the Trump administration’s intensified campaign against South American drug operations and escalating tensions with Colombia and Venezuela.
Senator Rand Paul criticized recent U.S. military strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug cartel boats in the Caribbean, calling them “inappropriate” and “against all of our tradition” during an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press. Paul argued that such actions lack due process and evidence, warning that innocent people could be killed without accountability.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Western allies not to appease Russia after returning from Washington, where he failed to secure US Tomahawk missiles from Donald Trump.

Thieves carried out a highly professional raid at the Louvre in Paris, stealing “priceless” historic jewellery from the museum’s Apollon gallery, which houses France’s crown jewels.

Georgia faces record electricity demand from AI datacenters, leading Georgia Power to seek $16 billion for 10 gigawatts of new energy capacity.
