| | | | | ✈️ Trump Slams Iran's New Supreme Leader
Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has been installed as Iran's new supreme leader following his father's death. Trump made clear he is displeased with the selection, saying flatly, "I don't believe he can live in peace." Despite his frustration with the leadership transition, Trump said results from Operation Epic Fury have been "way beyond expectation," signaling confidence in the military campaign's progress. The new supreme leader had already been sanctioned by the United States before taking power, a fact that further complicates any path toward diplomatic engagement. Trump's remarks came in an interview conducted in Florida, where he addressed both the battlefield situation and the shifting political landscape in Tehran. | 🌊 Trump Vows to Keep the Strait of Hormuz Open
Trump told reporters it would be an "honor" to keep the Strait of Hormuz open for global shipping, including for China, which relies heavily on the waterway for its energy supply. The strait, which sits between Iran and Oman and carries roughly 20 million barrels of oil per day, has been disrupted by back-and-forth attacks involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. Trump noted that while the United States is doing the work of securing the route, the benefits extend broadly to trading partners and allies around the world. He also announced that the U.S. would waive all oil-related sanctions on some countries in an effort to ease energy prices amid the regional conflict. Trump is scheduled to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping later this month, and called the current U.S.-China relationship a "very good" one. | ⚖️ Trump Fires Back at Judge Over Baltimore ICE Facility
A Biden-appointed federal judge issued a preliminary injunction ordering ICE to either dramatically improve conditions at its Baltimore processing center or relocate detainees to a facility capable of holding them humanely. U.S. District Judge Julie Rubin, in a 67-page ruling, found that conditions at the facility were "unhygienic, unsanitary," and unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment, citing allegations of severe overcrowding, inadequate medical screening, and denial of necessary medications for detainees with conditions including diabetes, HIV, and leukemia. DHS fired back, calling the court's findings "false" and asserting that detainees receive food, water, blankets, hygiene products, and medical care that rivals or exceeds what most U.S. prisons provide to citizens. Government records cited in the ruling show that between February and September 2025, only eight out of 3,250 detainees at the Baltimore facility were transported to a hospital for medical needs. The administration has not yet indicated whether it will appeal the ruling, but DHS officials reiterated that illegal immigrants have the option to self-deport through the CBP Home App and receive a $2,600 payment and a free flight home. | 💊 Trump's Drug Plan Draws Praise from Patients
The Trump administration launched TrumpRx, a federal price-comparison platform designed to lower out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for American patients, with healthcare costs remaining a central issue heading into the midterm election cycle. Economists warn, however, that lower prices today carry real consequences for tomorrow, as reduced revenue gives pharmaceutical companies less incentive to invest in the research and development needed to bring new treatments to market. Olivia Mitchell, a professor of business economics and public policy at the Wharton School, said that when drug prices are capped or negotiated down, companies anticipate lower returns and scale back investment in research and development, potentially slowing the arrival of new medicines. The American Action Forum's director of healthcare policy cautioned that government price-setting does not eliminate costs but simply redistributes them, with the risk that tighter coverage rules or fewer treatment options could emerge downstream. Supporters of the administration distinguish TrumpRx from strict price controls, describing it instead as a negotiated arrangement in which companies accept lower prices in exchange for expanded market access, a structure some analysts argue avoids the most damaging effects on future innovation. |

| | | | | | 🔔 Trump Reveals Plan for Midterm Push🔔 | President Trump addressed Republican lawmakers at the Republican Members' Issues Conference and delivered a pointed message: five specific legislative priorities, if passed, would guarantee the party holds its congressional majority in the November midterms. The list included banning transgender surgeries for minors, implementing voter ID, requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, restricting mail-in ballots, and prohibiting men from competing in women's sports. | Trump told the assembled members that delivering on these issues would produce a massive public mandate, saying he has "never been more confident" that keeping these promises would bring Americans to the polls in overwhelming numbers just as they did in 2024. The stakes are real, as Republicans currently hold just four more House seats than Democrats and six more in the Senate, margins that leave virtually no room for error heading into a historically hostile environment for the party in power. | The last time a governing party actually gained seats in both chambers during a midterm was in 2002, following the September 11 attacks, making the Republican task an uphill one by any historical measure. On the SAVE America Act specifically, Trump went further, posting on Truth Social that he would refuse to sign any other legislation until the Senate passed the voter ID and citizenship verification bill. Senate Majority Leader John Thune acknowledged broad support among Republican senators for the policy itself, but was candid that the procedural path to passing it remains "still unclear," and flatly ruled out eliminating the legislative filibuster to get it done. | Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer drew a hard line in response, calling the bill "Jim Crow 2.0" and declaring that Democrats would not help pass it under any circumstances, promising total gridlock if Trump held firm on his signing ultimatum. Republicans are also wrestling with a longer wish list from Trump that goes beyond the House-passed version of the SAVE Act, adding a near-total ban on mail-in ballots and a prohibition on transgender procedures for minors, changes that would require the legislation to pass the House again before reaching the Senate. | Adding further complexity, the Senate is simultaneously managing the DHS funding lapse now in its fourth week, the confirmation process for incoming DHS Secretary-designate Markwayne Mullin, a housing package, and a potential supplemental spending bill to replenish munitions used in the Iran campaign. On the political brand front, the latest NBC News poll found that only 30% of registered voters view the Democratic Party favorably, compared to 52% who view it negatively, the lowest the party's numbers have sunk in that survey's history. | Republicans fared only modestly better, with 37% viewing the GOP positively and 51% negatively, and a record 70% of registered voters disapproved of congressional Democrats in the latest Fox News national poll. The survey did show some openings for Democrats heading into the midterms, including a six-point generic congressional ballot advantage and a near-tie with Republicans on the question of which party would better handle the economy. Voters continued to trust Trump and Republicans more than Democrats on border security and immigration, the issues that drove the 2024 outcome in the first place. | With the Senate gridlocked, the DHS still unfunded, and Trump drawing a line in the sand on voter ID, the coming weeks will determine whether the Republican trifecta can hold together long enough to deliver what Trump is demanding before the midterm clock runs out. | | | | Will Your Retirement Income Last? | | A clear retirement income plan starts with knowing your costs and building a portfolio that can meet them.

"I don't want to get better. I want to get worse. I want to hate him more," Carville said, framing his remarks as a message he claimed to speak on behalf of many Americans. The White House responded by calling Carville "a stone-cold loser" whose Trump Derangement Syndrome had "rotted his peanut-sized brain." | 🗳️ The FBI subpoenaed Arizona Senate President Warren Petersen, a Republican, for records related to the state Senate's 2020 audit of Maricopa County, marking the second publicly confirmed jurisdiction the DOJ is investigating over 2020 election matters after Fulton County, Georgia. Petersen said he received and complied with the federal grand jury subpoena last week, and Trump amplified the news on Truth Social, writing "Great!!!" in response. Multiple U.S. officials confirmed the probe covers a large tranche of Arizona election data from both 2020 and 2024. | ⚽ Australia granted asylum to five members of the Iranian women's soccer team who had been competing in the Women's Asian Cup on the Gold Coast when the U.S. conflict with Iran began, following direct pressure from Trump, who posted on Truth Social that Australia would be making "a terrible humanitarian mistake" by sending the players back and vowed the U.S. would take them if Australia refused. Trump later confirmed he personally called Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who he said was "on it," and praised him for handling a "rather delicate situation" well. Some players chose not to seek asylum out of concern for the safety of family members back in Iran, who had reportedly received threats. | 🗳️ Voters went to the polls in Georgia's solidly Republican 14th Congressional District to fill the House seat vacated when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene resigned from Congress in early January after a public falling out with Trump. Trump endorsed district attorney Clay Fuller, who campaigned alongside the president at a stop in Rome, Georgia last month and described himself as a "MAGA warrior," while 16 other candidates also competed in the crowded all-party primary. With Republicans holding only a 218 to 214 House majority, any unexpected result could have significant implications for the GOP's ability to govern, and if no candidate clears 50%, the top two finishers will advance to a runoff on April 7. | God bless,
