President Trump on Thursday signed an executive order expanding high-quality retirement accounts for millions of Americans.

“Beginning at the start of next year, every American will be able to go to http://TrumpIRA.Gov and open a new, low-cost IRA account. You’ll then be able to access the same type of retirement accounts that federal employees enjoy,” Trump said.

“As part of the Federal Savers Match program, low income Americans will be eligible to receive up to $1,000 per year in matching funds deposited directly into their accounts,” Trump said.

“This is a great thing for millions of Americans who lack employer-sponsored plans. This will be really revolutionary because they’ll be covered,” he said.

Full executive order and statement from the White House:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, and to ensure that every American worker has access to a simple, portable, low-cost retirement-savings option, it is hereby ordered:

Section 1. Policy. Tens of millions of Americans lack access to employer-sponsored retirement plans. Workers in small businesses, part-time workers, independent contractors, and self‑employed workers face unnecessary barriers to saving for retirement. My Administration intends to give these often-left-out American workers access to the same type of retirement-savings opportunities offered to every Federal worker and to establish an easy and transparent way for eligible workers to obtain up to a $1,000 match for their savings. Hard-working Americans deserve retirement security in portable savings vehicles that offer access to low-cost investments similar to those offered to Federal workers in the Thrift Savings Plan.

It is the policy of the United States to promote high-quality, low-cost individual retirement accounts (IRAs) offered by private-sector financial institutions that meet objective standards of cost, transparency, and fiduciary responsibility.

It is further the policy of the United States to increase public awareness of the Federal Saver’s Match enacted in the bipartisan SECURE 2.0 Act (Public Law 117-328, Division T) and to facilitate participation in eligible retirement-savings vehicles that provide diversified, index-based investment options.

Through a federally administered retirement-savings informational platform that highlights qualifying high-quality, low-cost, private-sector IRAs, the United States will promote retirement-savings participation, provide access to retirement-savings options similar to those enjoyed by Federal employees, and encourage workers to reap the rewards of the vibrant American private-sector along with the power of compound earnings.

Sec. 2. Establishment of TrumpIRA.gov. (a) The Secretary of the Treasury shall, by January 1, 2027, establish a website (TrumpIRA.gov) that provides individuals, with a particular focus on independent contractors, self-employed individuals, and other workers who do not have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan, with information about high-quality, low-cost IRAs. Individuals who contribute to qualifying IRAs, and who are otherwise eligible, are entitled to a Federal Saver’s Match contribution of up to $1,000 pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 6433.

(b) TrumpIRA.gov shall list financial institutions that offer IRAs under 26 U.S.C. 408, accept the Federal Saver’s Match contribution under 26 U.S.C. 6433(e)(2)(C), and meet other criteria, as directed by the Secretary of the Treasury, consistent with applicable law. In addition, TrumpIRA.gov shall explain the cost and quality criteria described in subsection (c) of this section, allow individuals to filter and select IRAs based on their cost and quality, and provide information regarding the opportunity to receive the Federal Saver’s Match contribution under 26 U.S.C. 6433, consistent with applicable law.

(c) TrumpIRA.gov shall identify financial institutions that offer IRAs that:

(i) provide a menu of investment options that meet stated criteria including:

(A) investment fund products or model portfolios, including life-cycle or targeted-retirement-date options as described in 29 C.F.R. 2550.404c-5(e)(4)(i), or balanced funds as described in 29 C.F.R. 2550.404c-5(e)(4)(ii); or

(B) funds that are designed to protect principal on an ongoing basis, as described in 29 C.F.R. 2550.404c-5(e)(4)(iv);

(ii) maintain low administrative costs, with overall net-expense ratios, inclusive of operating costs, management fees, and administrative expenses, limited to .15 percent; and

(iii) do not impose minimum-contribution or balance requirements.

(d) In accordance with section 104(a) of the SECURE 2.0 Act, TrumpIRA.gov shall be designed to increase public awareness of the opportunity for eligible individuals to make contributions to retirement-savings vehicles and receive the Federal Saver’s Match contribution; facilitate low-cost, safe, and informed retirement-savings decisions; and increase retirement saving.

Sec. 3. Federal Saver’s Match Implementation. (a) The Secretary of the Treasury shall take all necessary steps, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to ensure that qualifying individuals who contribute to IRAs, including those who open IRAs listed on TrumpIRA.gov and otherwise satisfy all applicable requirements, receive the Federal Saver’s Match contribution.

(b) The Secretary of the Treasury shall take all necessary steps, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to encourage financial institutions to accept the Federal Saver’s Match contributions in accordance with rules established by the Secretary.

Sec. 4. Charitable Contributions. The Secretary of the Treasury and the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service shall, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, provide guidance with respect to the tax treatment of contributions made by tax-exempt organizations to IRAs maintained by workers who are members of a charitable class entitled to receive the contribution without jeopardizing the organizations’ tax-exempt status.

Sec. 5. Worker Protection. The Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Labor shall issue regulations, exemptions, or guidance, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to ensure that IRAs maintained by financial institutions, including those listed on TrumpIRA.gov, protect workers, maintain transparency, and prevent prohibited transactions within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. 4975.

Sec. 6. Legislative Recommendations. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, shall prepare legislative recommendations to codify the policy set forth in this order so that workers lacking access to employer-provided retirement plans, including workers in small businesses, part‑time workers, independent contractors, and self-employed workers, have access to a retirement option with low fees, eligibility for the Federal Saver’s Match or other matching contributions, diversified index‑based investment options, automatic portfolio choices, and portability.

Sec. 7. Severability. If any provision of this order, or the application of any provision to any individual or circumstance, is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of its other provisions to any other individuals or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.

Sec. 8. General Provisions. (a) Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i) the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii) the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b) This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c) This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

(d) The costs for publication of this order shall be borne by the Department of the Treasury.

“The View” cannot end their hot streak of completely vapid leftist takes, and at this point, it almost seems like their intention is to incense audiences above all else.

After Saturday’s assassination attempt against President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., we’re once again having conversations about the left’s rhetoric against the president, with leftists desperately downplaying how they’ve encouraged violent actors.

On Tuesday, former FBI Director James Comey made his way back into these conversations as ABC News reported that he faces an indictment over a 2025 post on social media platform Instagram where he shared a photo of seashells that read “8647,” a reference to Trump that appeared to call for his ousting via assassination.

Comey faces charges for threats against the president and successors and transmitting a threat in interstate commerce.

Senior Advisor to the Attorney General Alina Habba made an appearance on “The View” to discuss Comey’s past remarks on Wednesday.

The hosts tried to run damage control for the former director, but as a former official in the nation’s top law enforcement agency, he knew what he was doing.

When Sunny Hostin asked Habba if the post should be considered a threat to the life of Trump, she replied, “I do, I’ll explain why. After Comey’s post — and this is where I go back to Saturday’s events — the responsibility of certain individuals like us, we all have a very big voice, he is a former FBI director, he knows what 8647 meant. There’s no question about it.”

While The View plays* stupid about what “8647” meant, Alina Habba schools them on it:

“What do you think 86 means?” Hostin asked.

“To kill the president,” Habba told her. “To get rid of the president.”

Hostin laughed and stated, “the dictionary disagrees with you on that,” as if that was going to end the discussion. “Well, he’s the FBI director, he knows better,” Habba told her.

Fellow host Joy Behar, also never one to let a chance pass to give a moronic take, jumped in. “They use it in restaurants too. Do they mean to kill any of the meat?”

Habba added context, mentioning her own experience with someone calling for her to be “86’d.”

“Let me just tell you what happened after James Comey’s post. A gentleman posted that about me. He posted on Twitter, ’86 Habba,’ and he was also charged. He was charged in Florida, and he was held accountable because you cannot do it,” she described.

“Now, this is an FBI director. We have responsibilities. You guys have responsibilities not to call the president certain things or say things that could incite violence. I most certainly think after Saturday I have a completely new perspective on how important our voices are and how we use them.”

Comey could post “Kill Trump,” and the left would still be doing mental gymnastics. These are lame, idiotic excuses.

The president’s life is in danger.

It’s inarguable that comparisons to Adolf Hitler, calling him a threat to democracy, and labeling him a dictator have only made the situation worse.

This should have stopped immediately after the assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, back in 2024, but the left doesn’t want to stop.

They want to keep playing this game.

The Justice Department on Thursday released high-resolution video of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooter sprinting past a Secret Service checkpoint and opening fire.

The newly released footage shows Cole Allen, 31, of Torrance, California, sprint through a magnetometer metal detector and open fire at a Secret Service agent in the lobby of the Washington Hilton on Saturday night.

A police officer fired five shots at Cole Allen as he sprinted past security.

Attorney’s for Cole Allen argued the video does not show a muzzle flash.

Pirro however said there is zero evidence that a Secret Service agent was shot as a result of friendly fire.

Full statement from US Attorney Jeanine Pirro:

Today, we are releasing video already provided to U.S. District Court showing Cole Allen shoot a U.S. Secret Service officer during his attempt to assassinate the President at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire.

The video also shows Allen casing the area in the Hilton Hotel the day before the attack.

My office along with the FBI will continue this extensive investigation to bring Cole Allen to justice.

WATCH:

Cole Allen made his initial appearance in federal court in DC on Monday.

The 31-year-old was previously charged with using a firearm during a crime of violence and assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon.

On Monday, Allen was hit with a total of 3 charges: Attempting to assassinate the president of the United States, transporting a firearm and ammunition with intent to commit a felony and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence.

On Sunday, it was revealed that Cole Allen wrote a manifesto and expressed his hatred for “pedophile, rapist” Trump.

Cole Allen’s manifesto sounded like Democrat-media talking points. He called himself a ‘friendly federal assassin.’

“Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial,” Cole Allen wrote in the manifesto.

“I’m not a schoolkid blown up, or a child starved, or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when *someone else* is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes,” he wrote.

“I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes,” Allen wrote.

Dramatic video shows the moment Secret Service rushed President Trump and First Lady Melania:

The growing terrorist coalition in Mali, comprising FLA-JNIM, does not yet match ISIS at its 2014 peak; however, JNIM is strangling the Malian state from within, blockading fuel supplies, taxing rural communities, coordinating with separatists, and positioning for negotiation rather than outright conquest.

On April 25, 2026, Mali suffered the largest coordinated jihadist attack in its history, as two armed groups, the al-Qaeda-affiliated Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin (JNIM) and the Tuareg separatist Azawad Liberation Front (FLA), struck simultaneously from the capital, Bamako, to the northern city of Kidal, roughly 1,500 km away.

The attack is the latest in a region that now leads the world in terrorist attacks. The Sahel, a band of West African states including Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Chad, accounts for over half of all terrorism-related deaths worldwide in 2025, a share that stood at under one percent less than two decades ago.

A wave of military coups since 2020 expelled Western and UN counterterrorism forces across the region and replaced them with Russian mercenaries, accelerating the collapse of state authority in rural areas that jihadist groups have systematically exploited. In the April 25 attack, terrorists struck Bamako, Kati, Sévaré, Mopti, Gao, and Kidal across Mali’s full geographic span. Shortly before 5:20 a.m., two explosions and heavy gunfire were reported near Kati, the main military base outside Bamako and the residence of junta leader Gen. Assimi Goïta.

A suicide attacker drove an explosives-laden vehicle into the residence of Defense Minister Sadio Camara. He survived the blast but later died of his injuries in the hospital. His second wife and two grandchildren were also killed.

Camara was a key architect of the military government’s security partnership with Russia, described by Ulf Laessing of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation as the “architect of cooperation with Russia.” He proposed deploying Russian mercenaries in 2021 and expelling MINUSMA, helped bring Wagner Group forces into Mali, and regularly announced Russian military equipment transfers, most recently after visiting his counterpart in June 2025.

In Bamako, sustained heavy weapons and automatic rifle fire were reported near Modibo Keïta International Airport, about 15 kilometers from the city center. All flights were canceled, and the U.S. Embassy issued a security alert urging Americans to shelter in place. A 72-hour curfew from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. was imposed.

In the north, the FLA claimed control of Kidal within the first hour of fighting, with checkpoints at the city’s entrance changing hands. Malian troops and Russia’s Africa Corps withdrew from Kidal, Aguelhok, and Tessalit in Kidal Region; Tessit in Gao Region; and Ber in Tombouctou Region. Kidal had been recaptured in November 2023 with the help of Wagner Group forces and was touted as a major symbolic victory for the junta. Its loss now directly reverses that achievement and undermines the regime’s claim that its pivot toward Russia improved security.

FLA spokesman Mohamed Elmaouloud Ramadane told the BBC the operation had been long planned and coordinated with JNIM. A field commander said preparations took months and that the rebels aimed to block the Kidal–Tessalit road to prevent reinforcements, with the goal of seizing Gao before moving on to Timbuktu.

Separately, fighters from the Islamic State Sahel Province (ISSP) entered the northeastern town of Menaka near the Niger border by Tuesday morning, according to residents, security analysts, and an FLA official. They established checkpoints in some neighborhoods while Malian soldiers withdrew to a nearby camp, with no direct clashes reported.

JNIM and ISSP have fought since 2019, with more than 2,100 killed in their clashes, according to ACLED. Their simultaneous advances on separate fronts highlight the Malian military’s inability to hold territory against either group.

The April 25 offensive culminated months of military and economic pressure. On March 22, 2026, the junta struck a hostage deal with JNIM that included a pause in fuel convoy attacks through at least the end of May, meaning the offensive was launched while a negotiated détente was still in effect.
On March 31, FLA rebels used drones to strike a Russian-Malian camp in eastern Mali. Since 2023, JNIM has conducted nearly 100 drone attacks, reflecting a steady increase in tactical capability.

From September 2025, JNIM intensified attacks on fuel convoys, targeting tankers and blocking key supply routes from Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire, causing severe fuel shortages. In July, the Maçina Liberation Front (FLM), JNIM’s most active coalition member, launched seven simultaneous attacks across western Mali, expanding operations beyond its traditional northern and central strongholds. In August 2025, JNIM struck Malian army positions in Farabougou and Biriki-Were in the Ségou region, drawing condemnation from the African Union Commission.

Gen. Goïta did not appear publicly until April 29, four days after the attacks, when his office released photos of him meeting Russian Ambassador Igor Gromyko. The two discussed the situation and Russia’s support for Mali. That evening, Goïta declared “the situation is under control” and vowed “the complete neutralization of the groups involved.” His absence had fueled speculation about the junta’s cohesion. Independent researchers say that the Malian army is now fragmented, with commanders negotiating separately for their own troops rather than operating under unified command.

JNIM spokesman Bina Diarra released a video threatening a full siege of Bamako, describing the attacks as retaliation for Malian drone strikes. “As of today, Bamako is closed off from all sides,” he said.

Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed its Africa Corps forces prevented a coup by stopping insurgents from seizing key facilities and inflicting heavy losses. The claim is unverified and contradicts reports that Russian forces withdrew from multiple northern positions.

Analysts note parallels with HTS in Syria, where a rebel coalition aligned with al-Qaeda overthrew Bashar al-Assad in 2024 and transitioned into a governing political-military force. JNIM appears to be pursuing a similar strategy, combining military pressure with positioning for influence over future authorities rather than outright control.

The group already exercises de facto authority in areas it controls, imposing its interpretation of sharia, dispensing justice, and collecting taxes, including zakat, while banning secular music, alcohol, and uncovered women.

The Africa Center for Strategic Studies assesses that the insurgent threat now exceeds the Malian military’s capacity and poses growing risks to coastal West African states. The April 25 attacks are not an isolated escalation but part of a sustained trajectory targeting key elements of Mali’s security structure, with no sign of reversing.
