Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Demands All 50 Governors Remove Political Road Paintings — Including Rainbow Crosswalks:

Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy has had enough of America’s highways being treated like social-justice canvases.

According to the directive issued this week to every governor in the nation, the Trump-appointed cabinet official ordered states to scrub their roads, intersections, and crosswalks of “political messages or artwork,” singling out rainbow-themed crosswalks as prime offenders.

“Roads are for safety, not political messages or artwork. Today I am calling on governors in every state to ensure that roadways, intersections, and crosswalks are kept free of distractions,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. 

“Far too many Americans die each year to traffic fatalities to take our eye off the ball. USDOT stands ready to help communities across the country make their roads safer and easier to navigate.”
He’s giving states just 60 days to produce a hit list of their most dangerous arterial segments and intersections, and until the end of FY 2026 to fix them. Those fixes, the letter makes clear, include stripping away partisan paint jobs that confuse motorists and autonomous-vehicle sensors alike.

South African Elon Musk Launches ‘America Party’:

Editor’s Note: Despite viral claims circulating on social media, Elon Musk has not filed a statement of organization with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to formally establish his so-called “America Party.”

Musk, a native of South Africa and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, announced the launch of the America Party this weekend via a poll on his social media platform X.

Musk launched the party in response to his public fallout with President Donald Trump over the “One Big Beautiful Bill” tax and spending package, which he fiercely opposed.

Musk claims the America Party will serve as a centrist force, targeting two or three Senate seats and eight to ten House districts to act as a deciding vote on contentious laws. He claims it will represent the “80% in the middle,” referring to voters who are disillusioned with both Democrats and Republicans. However, specifics on its platform remain vague. He has hinted at themes prioritizing debt reduction, deregulation, and tech innovation — all of which would benefit him.

Contrary to earlier reports, no official filing exists under Musk’s name or the name of his party.

“This filing is false and has been reported as such to the FEC,” Musk wrote.

Brooke Rollins Announces USDA National Farm Security Action Plan to ‘Promote Agricultural Prosperity’ and ‘Strengthen’ U.S. Food Supply:

During a virtual pen & pad event on Monday evening, ahead of a press conference on Tuesday, Rollins explained that the plan includes “seven key action items.” One of the key action items focused on “securing and protecting the American farmland,” while another key point focused on “rooting out fraud, abuse, and foreign adversaries” that were posing a threat to the U.S. nutrition safety net and food stamp programs.

“First we are securing and protecting the American farmland — first of the seven. Within that number one, we all know that land owned by foreign nationals can pose a threat to national security and future economic prosperity. Too much American land is owned by nationals of adversarial countries, and more than 265,000 acres in the United States are owned by Chinese nationals — much of which is located near critical U.S. military bases,” Rollins explained.

“The second pillar; we are enhancing the resilience of the agricultural supply chain. American agriculture is currently at a disadvantage on the world stage because the production of key ag-inputs and the transportation of American ag-commodities around the world rely on components produced in other countries..."

“The third pillar; rooting out fraud, abuse, and foreign adversaries that threaten the U.S. nutrition safety net. You all know that the largest program at USDA is not a farming program, it’s actually the SNAP or the food stamp program. And, vulnerabilities within that payment system are a persistent target of transnational criminals and gangs,” Rollins continued.

"...USDA is instituting a new process to ensure that all research funded by USDA provides value to American farmers, ranchers, producers, and foresters,” Rollins explained.

DHS: San Antonio City Council Candidate Calls for Shooting ICE Agents:

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that a San Antonio City Council candidate called for the shooting of ICE agents on the streets of Los Angeles. The threat by the self-described Democrat political consultant comes as ICE agents are increasingly assaulted, and a Border Patrol station in Texas came under attack from a gunman.

Many on social media quickly called for the arrest and prosecution of Gauna.

Texas Attorney General candidate Aaron Reitz also called for Gauna’s arrest.

@patrician His name is spelled incorrectly.  It should be guano.

Yes, I know that it is bat poo, but I looked it up on Google and it seems to really be his name.

@yohanan 

Upon further research, I guess the joke is on me.  His name is Matthew Guana.

From the San Antonio Report: "Matthew Gauna is an environmental science student at UTSA. He previously worked as an auditor and has run unsuccessfully for the District 1 seat in the past."

Netanyahu Tells Trump, at Dinner, He Nominated Him for Nobel Peace Prize:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed U.S. President Donald Trump during a dinner at the White House on Monday night he had nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize for his Middle East policies.

The dinner kicked off a crucial three-day visit by the Israeli leader, during which the allies, victorious in the 12 Day War over Iran, will discuss the future of peace for the region. The dinner was meant to be private, but the media were allowed access for just over half an hour to hear remarks and ask each leader questions.

Netanyahu stood and presented Trump with a copy of his letter to the Nobel Prize committee. Trump appeared to have been visibly moved: “Coming from you in particular, this is very meaningful.”
