"Advocates for people with serious illnesses, like cancer and HIV, say the strict Medicaid work rules that the Trump administration released this week are likely to put ongoing treatments in jeopardy."
“The global economy entered 2026 with robust momentum, but the outlook has weakened significantly since the start of the conflict in the Middle East, with effects likely to be felt for some time. The longer the disruptions last, the larger the economic and social costs become.”
1. Don't believe the headlines.
Trump's $1.776 billion slush fund is not "dead."
The Trump administration wants to the public to believe it's dead.
But their ACTIONS tell a very different story.
Doesn't care about Americans financial hardship because of his War, loves slush funds for criminals.
"President Trump on Wednesday said he still loved the idea of a $1.8 billion fund to use taxpayer money to pay his allies who claim they have been politically persecuted."
Before his big victory in Iowa last night, Paralympian Josh Turek showed CNN’s @jeffzeleny how he campaigned door-to-door by wheelchair to try to win every last vote in the Senate primary.
The U.S. Senate candidate posted AI-generated images of the Carolina Hurricanes, then struggled to name a favorite player. #ncpol

Making it clear: Today, Trump said he "loves" his $1.8 billion fund for his political allies and J6 insurrectionists who attacked police officers and thinks it's "so important."
He doesn’t care about working Americans.
President Trump, asked if the DOJ anti-weaponization fund is dead for good, didn't commit to that:
"It's uh, I'd have to ask the lawyers, I don't know."
"The weaponization fund, as far as I'm concerned, was a beautiful thing. It was something I was, I didn't make it but I heard that, I thought that was the greatest thing because people like you have abused our people so badly."
And in the same answer, on Jan. 6: "People that went there to, with love, they went there with love. You know when I made that speech early in the day, tremendous crowd. I hate to say it because they'll say 'oh I was wrong on the number.' But I believe it's the largest crowd I've ever spoken to by, by twice. Biggest crowd I think, bigger than the inaugurations, bigger than anything. And there was so much love and, and friendship. It was the most amazing thing. People were crying."
Kaitlan Collins: Is the $1.8B slush fund dead or is it on hold?
Trump: Uhhh I'd have to ask the lawyers, I don't know. It's a beautiful thing. It's the greatest thing. Be quiet. She used to be a conservative from Alabama
Collins: I'm still from Alabama
Trump: They raided my house, Mar a Lago. It turned out that it was a total fake. We have all the information here, the good advantage to sitting here is we can get information that you wouldn't get. We are going to be it showing over the coming weeks
Slavish devotion to Donald Trump does not make Bill Pulte qualified to lead our national intelligence apparatus. His selection is a threat to our national security, and – in the middle of a war – it is as outrageous as it is dangerous.

Josh Turek is a proven leader. We need his integrity, tenacity, and commitment to putting working families first in the Senate.
Excited to cheer on @turek4iowa this November!
Acting AG Todd Blanche sat with Sean Hannity for an hour and a half interview and they spent so much of it talking about uncharged people who are targets of President Trump that the video ends with this notable disclaimer -->

The most critical decisions affecting our national security and the lives of our service members must always be made by human beings, not unaccountable machines.
Right now, the Pentagon is moving toward deploying incredibly powerful AI technology without commonsense guardrails in place, which could have catastrophic consequences that make all of us less safe.
We must act now – not to stifle technological progress, but to establish clear rules of the road that keep humans in charge and keep AI’s use in warfare smart and safe.
