President Trump is saddened and outraged over the brutal murder of two Israeli embassy staff here in Washington, D.C., last night.

Yaron Leshinsky and Sarah Milgram were a beautiful young couple.

In fact, we learned that Yaron was planning to propose to Sarah next week in Jerusalem.

Yaron's father, Daniel, spoke about the young couple's devotion for one another this morning.

The embassy told us they were like a star couple at the embassy.

These words, especially every parent knows, are heart-wrenching.

The evil of anti-Semitism must be eradicated from our society.

I spoke to the Attorney General this morning.

The Department of Justice will be prosecuting the perpetrator responsible for this to the fullest extent of the law.

Hatred has no place in the United States of America under President Donald Trump.

Everyone here at the White House is praying for the victims' friends and families during this unimaginable time.

On Saturday morning, President Trump will deliver the commencement address at the United

On Monday, to commemorate Memorial Day, the President will visit Arlington National Cemetery and participate in a wreath-laying ceremony.

The President will further honor our military next month on June 14th, when he hosts the 250th anniversary of the United States Army with a grand military parade celebration right here in our nation's capital.

President Trump will be joined by veterans, active-duty troops, wounded warriors, Gold

Star families, and patriotic Americans from across the country to celebrate our heroes who have kept us safe.

Tickets for the parade and the celebration are available through the America 250 Commission's event registration portal.

It will be a truly historic and special day for our country.

After the parade, President Trump will travel to the G7 Leaders Summit in Canada from June 15th through the 17th.

We will be sending additional logistics information out after the briefing.

Last night, Republicans in the House passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the most significant piece of legislation in years.

There were a lot of good-faith negotiations in the Republican conference leading up to the final passage, but as always, President Trump came in at the end to bring all sides together and get this deal done.

This One Big Beautiful Bill will implement President Trump's Make America Great Again agenda by delivering the largest tax cut in American history for middle-class families, the working class, and small businesses.

The One Big Beautiful Bill fulfills President Trump's promises of no tax on tips, which was applauded today by the CEO of Uber, no tax on overtime, a made-in-America auto tax break, Trump savings accounts for newborn babies, and substantial tax cuts for our amazing seniors' Social Security benefits.

The One Big Beautiful Bill will permanently secure the border by delivering the largest border security investment in history, funding at least one million annual removals of illegal aliens to carry out the largest deportation campaign ever, finishing the Trump border wall, and giving pay raises and bonuses for our incredible ICE and Border Patrol agents.

The One Big Beautiful Bill protects the Medicaid program and its benefits for the most vulnerable

Americans that the program was designed for by kicking off 1.4 million illegal aliens from receiving benefits and implementing common-sense work requirements for abled, bodied Americans.

The One Big Beautiful Bill also helps get our fiscal house in order by carrying out the largest deficit reduction in nearly 30 years, with $1.6 trillion in mandatory savings.

Every single Democrat in the House of Representatives who voted against all of these common-sense and massively popular policies, the Democrat Party has never been more radical and out of touch with the needs of the American people.

The One Big Beautiful Bill is the final missing piece toward ushering the golden age of America.

The Senate should pass this as quickly as possible and send it to President Trump's desk for a final signature.

After today's briefing, President Trump will hold a Make America Healthy Again event alongside

Secretary Kennedy and several other Cabinet secretaries to unveil the Maha Commission Report.

President Trump wants every child in America to grow up and to live a long and healthy life.

That's why he's working alongside Secretary Kennedy to end the chronic disease epidemic to keep our children healthy, safe, and disease-free.

The Maha Commission Report is a historic assessment, the first of its kind by any presidential administration, of current evidence and research about the health crisis affecting America's children.

This report is a review of pre-existing research to comprehensively assess what we understand about our health problems and what we don't understand, and how we can find those answers.

All of the findings will be based on the gold standard of science, and I think I speak for all Maha moms across the country when I say we look forward to the President's event and remarks later this afternoon.

And as we head into the Memorial Day weekend, a quick update on gas prices.

According to the fuel savings platform GasBuddy, the national average price of gasoline is expected to be $3.08 on Memorial Day.

We expect that to continue to decline because of the President's energy policies.

But this is down from Memorial Day last year, and adjusted for inflation, it's the second cheapest price for a gallon of gas on Memorial Day since 2003, thanks to President Trump.

And finally, in other news, the Department of Homeland Security conducted a deportation flight from Texas to remove vicious, illegal criminals in the United States.

All of these individuals were sent, or are trying to be sent, to a third country.

And President Trump promised to get vicious, illegal alien murderers, rapists, and pedophiles like these out of our country, and he is delivering, trying to deliver, on this promise.

But no matter how upset this makes Democrats, we will continue to deport these monsters to keep Americans safe.

And here are the heinous individuals who were on that flight.

A Cuban national convicted of homicide, armed robbery, false impersonation of an official, kidnapping, and robbery strong arm.

A Cuban national convicted of attempted first-degree murder with a weapon.

A citizen of Laos convicted of first-degree murder and robbery.

A Mexican national convicted of second-degree murder.

A citizen of South Sudan convicted of robbery in the possession of a firearm.

A citizen of Burma convicted of lascivious acts with a child less than 12 years old.

A citizen of Burma convicted of first-degree sexual assault involving a victim mentally and physical incapable of resisting.

And a Vietnamese national convicted of first-degree murder.

Now, a liberal activist district court judge in the city of Boston, Massachusetts is trying to force the President of the United States to bring these monsters back to our country.

Judge Brian Murphy is ordering the Department of Homeland Security to give these illegal criminals 15 days to reopen their immigration cases with access to phones and attorneys.

Every single one of these individuals I will add had final orders of removal from our country.

And now Judge Murphy is forcing federal officials to remain in Djibouti for over two weeks, threatening our U.S. diplomatic relationships with countries around the world and putting these agents' lives in danger by having to be with these illegal murderers, criminals and rapists.

Judge Brian Murphy is not the Secretary of State.

He is not the Secretary of Defense or the Commander-in-Chief.

He is a district court judge in Massachusetts.

He cannot control the foreign policy or the national security of the United States of

America and to suggest otherwise is being completely absurd.

According to new reporting about this judge, he's a registered Democrat in Massachusetts who during his Senate confirmation hearings failed to disclose his ties to a radical left-wing organization that claimed the word illegal to describe illegal aliens was inherently prejudicial.

This massive judicial overreach by Judge Murphy is part of the same opposition our administration has faced since day one.

Radical left-wing judges are egregiously trying to stop President Trump from using his core constitutional powers as head of the executive branch and commander-in-chief.

These judicial activists want to unilaterally stop President Trump from deporting foreign terrorists and keeping the American people safe.

Nearly 80 million Americans reelected this president to deport illegal criminals from our homeland, and polling consistently shows that 90 percent of Americans want illegal alien criminals, especially those with final orders of removal from our country, who have chosen to continue to stay here illegally.

We hope the Supreme Court will continue to rein this in as soon as possible to restore proper constitutional order in our country.

And here in our new media seat today, we have Jillian Michaels.

I certainly do, watching fitness videos growing up.

And a media powerhouse who has continued to expand her reach with her podcast, Keeping

Jillian, I know you're here today for the Make America Healthy Again event.

We're proud to welcome you to the White House.

As a maha mom yourself, how do you interpret the significance of this report in terms of delivering measurable health improvements for Americans and their kids?

And what specific actions does the administration plan to take in response to it?

Again, thank you very much for being here.
