TOP STORY
Billionaire Trump Says He 'Couldn't Care Less' About Your Gas Prices
A man worth more than $6 billion told a room of GOP donors on video Wednesday night that he knew his Iran war would spike gas prices and tank the stock market — and "it didn't matter" to him.
That's not spin. That's a direct quote from the President of the United States, at a Republican fundraising dinner, casually admitting the economic pain crushing working families was always part of the plan.
His approval rating on the economy just hit 29 percent — lower than anything Joe Biden ever recorded during a term defined by post-pandemic inflation.
Gas prices are climbing. Economists are warning recession.
And Trump's defense is: I knew, and I didn't care.
➡️ Question of the Day
🗳️ Yesterday’s poll results
Yesterday, we asked, Will Democrats take the House AND the Senate in the midterms?
OVER 99% OF YOU SAID YES!
“If the pattern holds, the democrats will take over. By how many seats remains to be seen. Fingers crossed for a huge takeover.”
- twoasps
“As Trump’s behavior becomes more erratic and his mental decline more severe, even diehard fans won’t be able to support him and his policies. ”
- laceydance6
“This will be the most important election in the history of our nation. If Democrats don't win, we won't recognize our country as the land of the free and home of the brave at the end of trumps term.”

“As long as it’s not rigged”
- vikingschmitzds
“Setting aside for a moment the immoral and corrupt nature of the current Republican party and its support of billionaires over everyday Americans, the fact that they promised prosperity and peace and instead delivered stock market collapse, rising prices, terrible jobs reports, murder of US citizens and a war, I suspect they will lose. They are beyond redemption.”

🗞️ Making News
Meta and Google Found Liable in Landmark Social Media Addiction Trial
A California jury just handed down the first-ever verdict holding Meta and Google responsible for deliberately addicting a child to their apps. The jury awarded $3 million in damages to a 20-year-old who started using YouTube at age 6 and Instagram at age 11 — despite Instagram's own rules barring anyone under 13. An internal Meta memo showed 11-year-olds were four times more likely to use Instagram than rival apps. The ruling could shape roughly 2,000 ongoing lawsuits.
Most Americans Think the Iran War Has Gone Too Far
A new AP-NORC poll finds 59% of Americans say U.S. military action against Iran has been excessive — and 45% are now worried about affording gas, up from 30% right after Trump promised to lower the cost of living. About 9 in 10 Democrats and 6 in 10 independents say the attacks have gone too far. Trump is responding by deploying more warships and troops.
Airport Chaos Is Killing TSA Workers' Paychecks — And Congress Is Going on Vacation
TSA officers are donating plasma to pay their bills after 41 days without a paycheck, while daily callout rates hit 11% nationwide and the acting TSA administrator warns some airports may have to shut down entirely. Congress's answer? Leaving town for spring break. Trump, who engineered this shutdown last fall as a strategy, says he "wouldn't be happy with any deal."
Melania Trump Walked Into Her Own Education Summit With a Robot and Left After 7 Minutes
The wife of the president gutting public education spent seven minutes at her own White House summit pitching an AI teacher named "Plato" — then left before the actual panel discussion started. Melania arrived flanked by a humanoid "Figure 3" robot, fantasized about machines replacing human educators, and walked out. Outside the White House, real teachers are buying their own classroom supplies while her husband defunds the schools they work in.
Bruce Springsteen, Bernie Sanders, and 3,000 Protests: No Kings Day is Back
Bruce Springsteen wrote a protest song about two Americans killed by federal agents in Minneapolis — and Saturday he's performing it for 80,000 people 15 miles from where they died. The St. Paul flagship rally is one of 3,000 protests planned nationwide, with organizers expecting to surpass the 7 million who turned out in October — which would make it the largest single day of mass protest in American history.

IN DEPTH
The GOP's Iran war gamble is starting to cost them at the ballot box
A Democrat just flipped a Florida state legislative district that includes Mar-a-Lago.
Let that land for a second. Emily Gregory didn't win some deep-blue college town. She won Trump's backyard — a seat that Republicans held — while Trump was literally telling the National Republican Congressional Committee on Wednesday night that his party is "winning so big."
The Florida result is the most concrete data point yet, but the broader picture is worse for Republicans than their leadership is letting on.
