No Elon. No JD. But Marco Rubio is beside him.

This is super interesting on multiple levels. Several key issues are rapidly approaching an inflection point at the same time. Urgency scale 1-10: Trade deals (5), BBB (9), Russia-Ukraine conflict (9) and now domestic ICE operations which will require intervention against California (9).
In addition, thanks to work by National Security Advisor Marco Rubio and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the corrupt Intelligence Community network has taken several hits below the waterline.
From a White House official to traveling press: “On Sunday, the President will depart Bedminster and spend the night at Camp David before returning to the White House on Monday. The White House has organized what will become a regular off campus retreat of principals attended by the President and Vice President. They will meet on a number of issues and topics.” (source)
It’s a smart move.
Remember, it’s Team MAGA facing down DC.
Quiet time, in a casual format, for tight, secure team-building focus on specific high priority issues as they increase in urgency.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced it is not his job to enforce the law, protect the citizens of California or provide for domestic tranquility. He is giving the rioting mob carte blanche to continue the chaos:
As a consequence of the mayor, police commissioner and now Governor abdicating their responsibility to retain law and order, President Trump is now coordinating a full federal response to assist the citizens of Los Angeles.
Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, Pam Bondi and John Ratcliffe need to get their ass in gear!
Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; instead, what they did was take the preexisting system and retool it so the weapons only targeted one side of the political continuum. This point is where many people understandably get confused.

In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.
What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms so that only their ideological opposition became the target of the new national security system. This is very important to understand as you dig deeper into this research outline.
Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01. DHS came along in 2002 and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the ODNI was formed. When Barack Obama and Eric Holder arrived a few years later, those newly formed institutions were viewed as opportunities to create a very specific national security apparatus that would focus almost exclusively against their political opposition.
After President Trump had a direct telephone call with Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping, President Trump announced from the Oval Office that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer would meet with their counterparts from China again, only this time Bessent and Greer will be accompanied by Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
President Trump repeated the same announcement via Truth Social: “I am pleased to announce that Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer, will be meeting in London on Monday, June 9, 2025, with Representatives of China, with reference to the Trade Deal. The meeting should go very well. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
While each of the trade Wolverines have teeth, Howard Lutnick is the enforcer. The issue surrounds prior promises made in Geneva to Bessent and Greer on the continuation of mined and refined rare earth minerals from China needed in batteries.
The addition of Lutnick is akin to President Trump saying, go ahead and make the promise again – only this time Lutnick will be there to spell out the consequences of inaction.
Vice President JD Vance joins Theo Von to talk about the Elon Musk fallout, the debate over what’s actually in the “Big Beautiful Bill” and the night he watched Gladiator 2 in the White House movie theater.
The interview was happening on Thursday as President Trump and Elon Musk were having a very visible public conflict. At 18:30 Vance notes how this interview will air after the public is much more aware of the backstory. WATCH:

President Trump was traveling from Washington, DC to New Jersey aboard Airforce One and took the time to walk back in the plane to the assembled press pool. President Trump took numerous questions on the topics of Kilmar Garcia, the Chinese trade negotiations, Elon Musk and current economic conditions.
President Trump also notes the Big Beautiful Bill is gaining support in the Senate and he is optimistic it will pass without too much issue. Additionally, President Trump responded to a question about Ukraine by noting the drone attack against the bomber installations ends up giving President Putin the motive to continue more aggressive bombing of Ukraine, “here we go”… WATCH:

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran native whose deportation generated a left-wing furor and sympathy campaign, is back in U.S. custody and will face federal human trafficking charges in Tennessee. [SEE INDICTMENT HERE]

Abrego Garcia faces up to 10 years in prison for each undocumented immigrant he transported. The grand jury leveled a series of serious allegations against Garcia including that he was a serial trafficker of undocumented immigrants, molested some of the victims of trafficking, and was involved in the abuse of children he transported.
As we have watched things unfold, we have noticed that Tulsi Gabbard and Marco Rubio seem to be the most effective at delivering results despite the efforts of the entrenched control mechanisms of the deep state intelligence community. Actions speak louder than words, and while the words of many are strong, it is the actions of Gabbard and Rubio that show focus.
Previously Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard removed the National Intelligence Council from the CIA and removed the heads. In the latest development, the intelligence apparatus is in a state of apoplexy because DNI Gabbard has experienced the politicization of the Intelligence Community Inspector General’s network (ICIG), and she is now taking bold actions around the silo control mechanism.
Before getting to the substance, it is worth reminding everyone of clear politicization within the ICIG when Michael Atkinson changed the CIA whistleblower rules in order to facilitate a false accusation against President Trump using CIA operative Eric Ciaramella and Alexander Vindman. Atkinson worked with his former boss in the DOJ, Mary McCord, to frame the construct of an impeachment against President Trump.
Also remember, Atkinson’s testimony to the House impeachment committee was sealed and classified by co-chairs Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler who were part of the framing. That transcript has NEVER been released.
In the latest development, DNI Tulsi Gabbard has installed a key ally, Dennis Kirk, into the ICIG apparatus. Kirk is in place to monitor the political operations of the Intelligence Community and report to DNI Gabbard so that she can eliminate the bad actors. To say the Deep State IC embeds are apoplectic would be an understatement. The Inspector General system within the Intelligence Community is a critical control mechanism for politicization of intelligence.
The leaks to the media are to the Washington Post, because this core part of the IC is a CIA element. The CIA uses the Washington Post as their public relations and narrative distribution network.
