I think that it was a terrible, terrible mistake. The investigation may prove me wrong, I hope so. The kids are still dead. But I think was a horrible, horrible mistake. I wish it hadn't happened. I'm sorry it happened. I can assure you it wasn't intentional. That's the sort of thing Russia does. We don't do that.
I think it will take them years to restart their nuclear program. I think that they can't control their airspace; they don't have the will to do it. From what I've seen, I'm in shock and awe. You know, it's just, it's shocking how much damage we did to their facilities.
In a February 19 memo sent to civilians across the DoD, secretary of defense Pete Hegseth wrote that he expects "every supervisor to encourage their civilian employees to volunteer. Leadership must continue to promote this detail program and educate their civilian employees on its importance."
The country is almost certain to enter the next shock more indebted than we have ever been before, which may significantly hamper our ability to marshal an appropriate response. The U.S. has never experienced an economic shock as indebted as we are today. This situation leaves the U.S. immensely vulnerable.
The Trump administration can't say why the United States went to war with Iran, and it can't say what the goal of the war is. Now it can't even decide whether the war is still going on. During an interview with CBS News yesterday afternoon, President Trump all but declared victory. "I think the war is very complete, pretty much," he said.
On the [government's] reading, the president would have had no need ever to seek the Senate's advice and consent for his [US attorney] appointments. Whenever there was a fair prospect of the Senate's rejecting his preferred nominee, the president could have appointed that individual unilaterally to serve ad infinitum. It is unthinkable that such an obvious means for the executive to expand its power would have been overlooked by Congress.
Well, that's not the first time the President has said that he chose to launch Operation Epic Fury because he felt as though Iran was going to strike the United States and our assets in the region first. Again, I addressed this in the last briefing. This was a feeling the President had based on facts—facts provided to him by his top negotiators who had been engaged with the Iranian regime in a good-faith effort.
The president, up to this moment, and his administration have complied in every way with every provision of law. They have informed us before, after, and during the operation. We've been in almost constant contact about it. They're keeping Congress apprised, which is the legal obligation.
So I will be the sole independent member of the House of Representatives. With Kiley's move, Republicans will have a 217-214 majority in the House, with one independent. The last independent to serve in the House was Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, who dropped his Republican affiliation in 2019.
Republican former prosecutor Clay Fuller is likely to come out of Tuesday's jungle primary, in which the top two candidates go to a runoff regardless of party, alongside retired army general Shawn Harris, a Democrat. The two would face a run-off election on 7 April. Fuller has Trump's endorsement and had raised more than $1m leading into voting Tuesday, but Harris, who faced Greene two years ago, has raised more than four times as much.
In perhaps a vain attempt to prove themselves moderate, the Democratic lawmakers helped override Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's vetoes. Voters responded with the kind of ballot-box fury that should serve as a lesson to other incumbents. It wasn't just a case that the incumbents lost. They were buried, with several of them getting trounced by margins of 40 points or more.
The Uber-backed plan to lower car insurance rates has drawn criticism from legal professionals and crash victim advocates who say the legislative changes would strip crash victims of rights while misstating the drivers of high costs. Hochul and the car insurance industry have argued that fraud and "jackpot" payouts have increased costs for insurance companies so much that they can't reduce premiums.
Today, I met with Colorado Senator Matt Ball, co-author of Colorado OS Age Attestation Bill SB26-051. Sen. Ball suggested excluding open source software from the bill. This appears to be a real possibility. Amendments are expected for the CA age attestation bill. It's my hope we can move fast enough to influence excluding open source in the CA bill amendments.
John Diehl, the former Republican house speaker, received about $380,000 in federal loans for his law firm between 2020 and 2022 through a program intended to help cover operating expenses for businesses affected by the coronavirus pandemic. But Diehl admitted in a September plea agreement that he instead used the money for personal expenses such as country club dues, swimming pool maintenance, his home mortgage and vehicle payments for a Tesla, Audi and Jeep.
Affordability has been, understandably, the watchword for Democratic candidates over the last year. After downplaying inflation under Joe Biden, the party learned a brutal lesson when Donald Trump rode the cost-of-living crisis back to the White House in 2024. In 2025, Zohran Mamdani put affordability at the center of his own campaign and surged from the back of the pack to City Hall.
Nevada is structurally dependent on California's refining system. Nevada relies on California for approximately 88% of its transportation fuels - gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. These fuels are supplied mainly via the CALNEV Pipeline, which connects Southern California refineries to Las Vegas. While Nevada has limited oil production of its own, it is almost entirely dependent on California's refining capacity.
Trump clearly perceives himself in such royal terms—he's said as much. But as we show in the new season of our investigative podcast series Master Plan: The Kingmakers, Trump did not create the kingly authority he is now employing. He is exercising powers concentrated in the executive branch by previous presidents and courts.
Futures are trading lower as many across Wall Street breathed a semi-sigh of relief yesterday after oil futures, which shot up to $120 overnight, retreated below $100 on Monday. That was the biggest spike in oil pricing since 2020. With the retreat in the black gold, the major indices did a massive midday turnaround.
Balat and Kayumi sought to incite fear and mass suffering through this alleged attempted terror attack in the backyard of an elected city official. James Barnacle, who runs the FBI's New York office, characterized the incident as a serious threat to municipal leadership and public safety during a statement following the court appearance.
In the coming weeks, the Department will issue clear guidance on next steps for borrowers enrolled in the illegal SAVE Plan, including details regarding how borrowers can move into a legal repayment plan. The Trump Administration will continue to realign the federal student loan portfolio to better serve students and taxpayers.
In one moment, Kai Trump said that she will have to "file for bankruptcy" after learning about a store-branded sweater that costs $165. The ultra-luxe grocery chain in the Los Angeles area is known for its remarkably high-priced products, such as $22 smoothies and $13 Medjool dates.
