Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Tuesday that the entire southern border wall will be painted black as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to increase the effectiveness of the wall as a deterrent.

Speaking in front of a portion of the southern border wall in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, Noem explained that the wall would be painted entirely black for the dual purposes of making it heat up more and thus harder to climb, as well as increasing the lifespan of the metal.

Noem said the new paintwork comes at the request of President Donald Trump.

"If you look at the structure that's behind me, it's tall, which makes it very, very difficult to climb, almost impossible. It also goes deep into the ground, which would make it very difficult, if not impossible, to dig. Read more and see video here.

Teamsters Back GOP Rep, Another Sign That Working-Class America Is Bucking the Dems

In a significant political shift that further cements the GOP’s growing blue-collar coalition, Rep. Rob Bresnahan (PA-08) has officially earned the support of the Teamsters, one of the largest and most influential labor unions in the country.

According to POLITICO, the Teamsters are backing Republicans up and down the ballot this cycle — and that includes Rep. Bresnahan, whose tireless work on behalf of Northeastern Pennsylvania’s working families is turning heads not just locally, but across the nation.

This isn't just a symbolic win — it’s a warning shot to Democrats. Working-class Americans are done waiting for empty promises from the Left. They want results. And Rep. Bresnahan is delivering.

The momentum behind Bresnahan’s pro-worker record was on full display during a recent visit from House Republican Conference Chair Lisa McClain, who joined him in NEPA to showcase the impact of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” — a sweeping legislative victory that Bresnahan helped craft and champion.
