| | | | | π₯ Trump Demands Omar and Tlaib Leave the Country Trump said Wednesday that Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib should be sent back from where they came after their antics at the State of the Union on Tuesday. Trump called the congresswomen low IQ on Truth Social and said they should be institutionalized, describing them as having the bulging, bloodshot eyes of crazy people when they shouted during his speech. Omar began screaming after Trump trapped Democrats by asking all those who agreed that the U.S. government's job is to protect American citizens and not illegal aliens to stand, with no Democrats standing as Republicans gave a lengthy clap. Both Omar and Tlaib shouted "you have killed Americans" at Trump during his speech, an apparent reference to ICE agents fatally shooting two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in January. Trump also said they should get on a boat with Robert De Niro, calling the actor another sick and demented person with an extremely low IQ. | ⚖️ Judge Blocks Trump's Third Country Deportation Policy A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration's policy of deporting immigrants to third countries to which they have no ties is unlawful and must be set aside. U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy in Massachusetts suspended his decision for 15 days, giving the government time to appeal his latest ruling in the case. Murphy said migrants challenging the Department of Homeland Security's policy have the right to meaningful notice and an opportunity to object before they are removed to a third country. The Supreme Court's conservative majority had previously ruled in the administration's favor last year, pausing Murphy's earlier decision and clearing the way for a flight carrying several migrants to complete its trip to war-torn South Sudan. Murphy noted that Trump's administration has repeatedly violated or tried to violate his orders, including the Defense Department deporting at least six class members to El Salvador and Mexico last March without providing required process. | π Trump Administration Sues UCLA Over Antisemitism The Trump administration sued the University of California on Tuesday, alleging UCLA administrators routinely ignored and failed to report employee antisemitism complaints and allowed a hostile work environment for Jewish and Israeli employees. The Justice Department alleges an ongoing severe and pervasive antisemitism problem and points to pro-Palestinian protests, including one in January, that it contends were anti-Jewish or anti-Israel. The lawsuit filed by the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division alleges violations of Title VII, the federal law that bars workplace discrimination. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the department's investigation found UCLA administrators allegedly allowed virulent anti-Semitism to flourish on campus. The case follows the administration demanding nearly $1.2 billion in August to settle civil rights investigations tied to UCLA, including allegations involving antisemitism complaints by students and employees. | π¨π³ Trump Skips China in State of the Union Address Trump delivered the longest-ever State of the Union speech on Tuesday night, but his marathon performance had no room for China other than a humorous aside about unreliable Chinese military hardware during his remarks on Venezuela. Trump's dig at China came when he saluted the heroes who executed the raid to capture Nicolas Maduro, noting the Venezuelan military fortress was protected by Russian and Chinese military technology before adding "How did that work out? Not too good." The speech marked the first time since 2005 that China has gone unmentioned in a State of the Union address. Trump is planning to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing in late March, the first trip by an American president since Trump's last visit in 2017. Chinese state media returned Trump's benign neglect by staying fairly quiet about SOTU, aside from a few social media posts highlighting Democrat opposition to Trump's remarks. |

| | | | | | π Trump's Iran Ultimatum Enters Final Days π | Trump has drawn his line on Iran, and now the clock is running. After publicly giving Iran roughly 10 days to 15 days to reach a nuclear agreement, Trump used his State of the Union address to make clear the deadline is backed by force. Trump told lawmakers Tuesday night that he will never allow the world's number one sponsor of terror to have a nuclear weapon. The president first outlined the short timeline on Feb. 19, saying the world would know within probably 10 days whether Tehran was prepared to strike what he called a meaningful deal. Trump said absent an agreement, it's going to be unfortunate for Iran, warning that bad things will happen and acknowledging he is considering further steps. During Tuesday's State of the Union, Trump reinforced the pressure from the House chamber, telling Congress negotiations are underway but Iran has not met his core condition. | Trump said the U.S. is in negotiations with Iran and they want to make a deal, but the U.S. hasn't heard those secret words that they will never have a nuclear weapon. Trump also pointed back to Operation Midnight Hammer, the 2025 U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear infrastructure, describing it as having obliterated Iran's nuclear weapons program. Trump said after that operation, Iran was warned to make no future attempts to rebuild its weapons program, adding that Iran is now starting it all over again. The diplomatic ultimatum is underscored by the largest assembly of U.S. naval power in the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. | The world's most advanced aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford, arrived at Souda Bay, Crete, on Monday and joined USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been conducting 24-hour flight operations in the Arabian Sea since late January. Between the two strike groups, the U.S. now commands a fleet of 14 major warships, including nine Arleigh Burke-class destroyers armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles. Meanwhile, 12 U.S. F-22 Raptor stealth fighters touched down at Ovda Airbase in southern Israel, designed to suppress enemy air defenses and protect penetrating strike platforms like the B-2 Spirit bomber. | Vice President JD Vance said Wednesday that Trump still prefers a diplomatic solution with Iran, warning that the president has been as crystal clear as he could be that Iran can't have a nuclear weapon. Vance said Trump has a number of other tools at his disposal to dissuade Iran from having a nuclear weapon and is willing to use them. Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner met Thursday in Geneva with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi for a third round of nuclear talks mediated by Oman. Witkoff told a private gathering that the Trump administration is demanding Iran agree any future nuclear deal will remain in effect indefinitely, ruling out the sunset provisions that plagued the 2015 Obama-era deal. Araghchi said before departing for Geneva that a fair, balanced and equitable deal was within reach, while reiterating that Iran was not seeking an atomic weapon and was not ready to give up its right to peaceful use of nuclear technology. | Iran pushed back against Trump's pressure tactics, with officials alternating between calling his remarks big lies and saying negotiations may yield an agreement through honorable diplomacy. Administration officials have signaled that any agreement would require Iran to halt all uranium enrichment and provide verifiable guarantees that its program cannot be reconstituted — terms Iran repeatedly has objected to. Both Washington and Iran appear to believe the other is bluffing, with Trump framing the timeline as a final opportunity for diplomacy backed by overwhelming force while Iranian leaders have publicly dismissed U.S. threats and warned that any strike would trigger retaliation against American forces and regional allies. | | | | | π Quick Bite News π | π§ Dalilah Coleman's family is pushing for congressional support of the Dalilah Law after Trump honored the girl at the State of the Union address. The proposal would bar states from granting commercial driver's licenses to people in the country illegally after Dalilah was critically injured at age 5 when an 18-wheel tractor-trailer driven by someone Trump said was in the country illegally slammed into her vehicle at over 60 mph. The crash left Dalilah with a fractured skull, a broken femur and a traumatic brain injury, and she continues to relearn how to walk while relying on a feeding tube. | π° Vice President JD Vance announced Wednesday the Trump administration is temporarily halting $259 million in Medicaid funding to Minnesota, giving Walz 60 days to clean up how the state doles out funding after rampant fraud schemes. Vance said officials verified that a program intended to provide after-school care to autistic children actually benefited fraudsters, noting that a lot of people are getting rich off the generosity of American taxpayers while kids in Minnesota who deserve these services are not getting them. Oz said if Minnesota fails to clean up the systems, the state will rack up $1 billion of deferred payments this year. | π³️ A DHS official told state election administrators Wednesday that immigration agents will not be stationed at polling places during November's midterm elections, trying to swat down Democrats' fears about possible election interference. Heather Honey, who serves as deputy assistant secretary for election integrity, told secretaries of state that any suggestion ICE will be present at any polling location is simply not true. Democratic secretaries of state asked Honey several questions about Trump administration cuts to election security funding and fears about federal law enforcement officers appearing at polling places in the fall. | π Trump slammed low IQ Robert De Niro on Wednesday after the actor accused the president of destroying America, saying De Niro should get on a boat with Omar and Tlaib. Trump called De Niro another sick and demented person with an extremely low IQ who has absolutely no idea what he is doing or saying. Trump added that when he watched De Niro break down in tears, much like a child would do, he realized De Niro may be even sicker than Crazy Rosie O'Donnell. | ⚓ Cuba's Interior Ministry said Wednesday its forces killed four people and wounded six others aboard a Florida-registered speedboat after passengers opened fire on Cuban border guard troops who approached for identification. The ministry said the speedboat was carrying 10 armed Cuban residents of the U.S. with assault rifles, handguns and Molotov cocktails who intended to carry out an infiltration for terrorist purposes. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called the shootout highly unusual and said it's something that frankly hasn't happened with Cuba in a very long time, adding the U.S. would conduct an independent investigation before responding. | God bless,
