Mike has zero problem with people hitting the streets, even when everyone knows these “No Kings” rallies were pre-packaged, pre-funded, and anything but spontaneous.

Iran Accuses U.S. Of Planning Ground Assault

Iran says it is ready to respond to any U.S. ground attack, accusing Washington of planning a land assault even as talks are underway. Regional powers, including Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt, met in Islamabad on Sunday to discuss reopening the Strait of Hormuz to shipping. More talks are expected on Monday. The conflict, now in its second month, has disrupted global energy supplies and killed thousands. Israel has launched over 140 air strikes on central and western Iran in the past 24 hours, targeting missile sites and storage facilities. A missile or debris struck a chemical plant near Beer Sheva in southern Israel, while another landed near homes, injuring 11 people. Major facilities in Bahrain and the UAE have also been damaged, with the UAE seeking reparations and guarantees against further attacks. Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis recently launched their first attacks on Israel, raising concerns about the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Thousands of U.S. Marines have arrived in the Middle East, with reports that the Pentagon is preparing for potential ground operations in Iran. President Donald Trump faces a choice between negotiating a ceasefire or escalating militarily, a decision that could further affect his approval ratings. Washington reportedly offered a 15-point ceasefire plan, including reopening the Strait of Hormuz and restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program, but Tehran has rejected the proposal and submitted its own.

Trump showcases White House ballroom plans, highlights donor funding and military complex

President Donald Trump showed off new renderings of the White House ballroom, calling it a long-awaited project and emphasizing that all costs are being covered by himself and private donors, with no government money involved. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump described the ballroom as “the same height as the White House” and said it will accommodate large gatherings, including visits from foreign dignitaries like China’s President Xi. He also noted that a “massive” military complex is being built underneath the ballroom. The project has faced legal and political hurdles, including a lawsuit from the National Trust for Historic Preservation alleging that required reviews and public input were bypassed. A federal judge is expected to decide by the end of March whether to issue an injunction to halt construction. No official completion date has been set, though the White House says it will be finished well before the end of Trump’s term. The ballroom will feature high-grade, bullet-proof glass and a drone-proof roof, the president added.

Trump Says Iran Negotiations ‘Going Extremely Well’

President Donald Trump said Sunday that negotiations with Iran are progressing “extremely well,” with Tehran preparing to allow oil tankers to pass through the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that Iran initially sent eight tankers, then added two more, and on Sunday gave 20 additional tankers carrying oil, describing the move as “out of a sign of respect.” He said the transit is set to begin Monday morning. “I would only say that we're doing extremely well in that negotiation, but you never know with Iran, because we negotiate with them and then we always have to blow them up,” Trump added. The remarks follow his statement on March 26 that Iran was permitting 10 oil tankers to transit the key global shipping route as a goodwill gesture. The president has been pushing Iran to agree to a deal that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and limit its nuclear program. Earlier, on March 24, Trump hinted that Iran had made an “expensive, energy-related concession,” though he did not provide details at the time.

TSA officers get emergency pay, long airport lines continue

President Donald Trump has ordered emergency pay for Transportation Security Administration officers who have been working without pay during the ongoing government shutdown. Despite the move, airports across the country are still advising travelers to arrive several hours early due to persistent long security lines. Officials say it remains unclear how quickly the pay order will ease delays. Federal immigration officers brought in to assist TSA operations could remain in place until staffing levels return to normal, as airports prepare for a busy travel period with spring break and holiday travel underway.

Trump Threatens Iran Infrastructure Strikes

President Donald Trump is escalating rhetoric against Iran, warning of potential strikes on key civilian infrastructure if a deal is not reached soon. In a social media post, Trump said his administration is in “serious discussions” with what he described as a “new and more reasonable regime,” but cautioned that military action remains on the table. He specifically threatened to target Iran’s electric generating plants, oil wells, and Kharg Island — and even suggested desalination facilities could be hit if talks fall apart. Trump also demanded that the Strait of Hormuz remain open to shipping, calling it a key condition in ongoing negotiations. The comments come as tensions remain high in the region, despite signs of progress in early ceasefire talks. Experts warn any strike on critical infrastructure could have widespread humanitarian and economic consequences.

74 Arrested After Tense “No Kings” Rally In Los Angeles

Dozens of people were arrested in Los Angeles after a “No Kings” rally escalated over the weekend. Police say 74 individuals were taken into custody for refusing to leave following a dispersal order. Officers deployed tear gas near a federal detention center to clear the crowds. One person was also arrested for allegedly carrying a dagger, and federal officials reported that two officers were injured by concrete thrown during the unrest. The rally was part of nationwide protests against President Donald Trump’s actions and the ongoing conflict in Iran, though most gatherings across the U.S. remained peaceful.

Spain Closes Airspace To U.S. Military Flights Over Iran Conflict

Spain has closed its airspace to U.S. military planes involved in operations related to the Iran conflict. The decision prevents American aircraft from flying over the country during missions in the Middle East. Spanish officials said the move reflects the country’s opposition to what it calls a unilateral conflict. The restriction does not apply in emergencies, but it could further strain diplomatic relations between Madrid and Washington.

Trump approves Russian oil delivery to Cuba amid blockade

President Donald Trump said he has “no problem” with a Russian oil tanker delivering fuel to Cuba, despite the ongoing U.S. blockade. The shipment comes as the island faces severe shortages of gasoline and electricity, with widespread blackouts affecting hospitals, public transportation, and daily life. Trump framed the decision as a humanitarian measure, saying the delivery is meant to help the Cuban people survive and that other countries could also send aid if needed.

Trump wants tractor companies to lower prices for farmers

President Donald Trump announced new measures on Friday to support U.S. farmers who are reeling from the administration's trade policies and the Iran war and suggested farm equipment makers cut prices - a call that sent their shares lower. "I want John Deere and Case and all of - they're great companies, Caterpillar... I want these companies to give it to you in the form of lower tractor and equipment costs," Trump told hundreds of farmers and ranchers gathered under drizzle at an event on the South Lawn of the White House. Deere & Co shares dropped 2% after the statement. Case IH manufacturer CNH Industrial NV fell 1% while Caterpillar Inc was down nearly 1.2% in late-session trading. In a statement to Reuters, Deere said it will keep working with the Trump administration, lawmakers, producers and other stakeholders to ensure accuracy about its affordability, technology and repair policies, while collaborating with regulators to support farmers and keep U.S. agriculture competitive. Farm equipment maker AGCO Corp, which had one of its tractors parked on the South Lawn for the event, said it welcomed policies that helped reduce farmer costs and was committed to working with the administration. CNH Industrial and Caterpillar did not respond to requests for comment. Trump called for lower prices in an aside during a speech that otherwise focused on shoring up support among the Republican president's loyal constituency of rural voters, who have backed Trump in all three of the last presidential races. For the fourth straight year, U.S. crop producers are facing tight margins, high production costs and low commodity prices - and are struggling financially - despite near-record government payments. The Trump administration is distributing $12 billion in aid to U.S. farmers - a move that farm trade groups and agricultural economists have said is helpful in the short-term but will not fully compensate farmers for financial losses that have topped $30 billion in recent years. On Friday, Trump said he would seek even more such aid for farmers from Congress. More than 50 farm-interest groups, such as the American Farm Bureau Federation, are urging Congress to approve additional aid in a military funding package. The event happened as the administration finalized new biofuel blending mandates for U.S. oil refiners, requiring them to mix more of the fuels made from corn and other agricultural products into the nation's gasoline and diesel than initially proposed, in an apparent win for farmers. Trump also said the U.S. Small Business Administration would open up new loan guarantees for farmers and food suppliers. Farmers are entering the critical spring planting season under a cloud of uncertainty as the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran disrupts global trade, causing fertilizer and diesel costs to spike. The long-term U.S. trade relationship with China also remains unclear amid the ongoing trade war launched by Trump's administration with the country, the world's top soy importer. Rural voters constitute a fifth of the U.S. electorate, and they favored Trump by a two-to-one margin over Democrat Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
