🇺🇸⚡️ — Authorities have arrested Jeanine John Taele, 38, of Downey, after he was seen photographing and monitoring security preparations at Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes ahead of President Trump's scheduled fundraiser on Tuesday.

Deputies detained Taele on Sunday after federal agents reported suspicious activity. Investigators found a loaded magazine on him and a loaded handgun with additional ammunition in his vehicle.

A subsequent search of his home uncovered an illegally modified AR-style rifle, body armor, high-capacity magazines, bulk ammunition, two radio signal devices, and notebooks containing what authorities described as "concerning statements."

🇺🇸⚡️ — Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's preferred nominee for Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Christopher LaNeve, is facing growing resistance from Republican senators, placing his nomination in jeopardy, according to WSJ.

The nomination has stalled because Sen. Joni Ernst and other Republicans oppose advancing LaNeve, with Ernst said to have concerns over his relatively short tenure as a four-star general. Without unanimous Republican support, the nomination is not expected to clear the Senate Armed Services Committee.

LaNeve has served as acting Army Chief of Staff since Hegseth dismissed Gen. Randy George in April.

🇺🇸⚡️ — The White House is expected to extend its waiver of the Jones Act in the coming days as the Trump administration seeks to ease fuel transportation constraints and help lower gasoline prices, according to Reuters.

The current waiver, which is set to expire on August 16, has been used nearly 200 times since its introduction and is already the longest Jones Act suspension on record.

Officials are discussing ways to narrow the waiver's scope while preserving flexibility for critical fuel shipments, though no final decision has been made.
