Today’s Big Story…

The House passed a funding bill to prevent a partial government shutdown and keep federal agencies running through September, but it did not come without a battle.

President Trump criticized Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) for being the sole House Republican opposing the proposed government funding bill and voting with Democrats, labeling him a "grandstander" and suggesting he should face a primary challenge. Massie stood against the bill due to concerns over sustained spending levels without cuts despite many identified wasteful expenditures included in the bill.

Throughout the day yesterday, Trump fired off Truth Social posts lambasting Massie for his opposition. Massie responded to his critiques via X, stating he won’t back down, but the schism between the two Republicans has also sparked friction in the MAGA base. While some share Massie’s concerns about adding more to the national debt, others believe getting Trump’s agenda started by funding the government to avoid a shutdown is more vital.

The measure, approved in a narrow 217-213 vote, now heads to the Senate, where bipartisan support is crucial for final approval. However, another Kentucky Republican, Sen. Rand Paul, is also signaling he will oppose the continuing resolution.

Another Big Story…

In Saudi Arabia, the U.S. and Ukraine agreed that Kyiv would accept a 30-day ceasefire with Russia following eight hours of talks led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

“Ukraine expressed readiness to accept the U.S. proposal to enact an immediate, interim 30-day ceasefire, which can be extended by mutual agreement of the parties, and which is subject to acceptance and concurrent implementation by the Russian Federation,” the U.S. and Ukraine said in a joint statement released by the State Department. “The United States will communicate to Russia that Russian reciprocity is the key to achieving peace.”

In return, Washington pledged to lift the federal freeze on intelligence sharing and military aid. President Vladimir Putin has yet to accept the ceasefire terms, but U.S. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff plans to visit Russia soon for further discussions in ending the war. Trump’s diplomatic victory will include inviting President Zelenskyy back to the White House soon, too.

My Thoughts…

It’s never fun seeing Republicans infighting, and while I think both Trump and Massie have their valid reasons and beliefs with the continuing resolution, the exasperation of their feud has been captured by Democrats looking to leech on the internal issues with the America First agenda. They are trying to sew discontent within the party, but the CR cannot be the breaker of a united GOP front, especially with midterms only two years out. Hopefully, Trump and Sen. Paul will not be as hostile in their disagreements with the upcoming Senate vote.

I think Trump is wasting time inviting Zelenskyy to America again, but if it’s more for diplomacy reasons, the Ukrainian leader better shape up his attitude this time. And he better give a big ‘thank you’ to Trump and Vance.

The Administration…

• The U.S. Department of Education's headquarters in Washington, D.C., was evacuated following credible bomb threats targeting Secretary Linda McMahon and other senior officials. The department evacuated staff and secured the premises. Thankfully, no one was harmed.

• Despite the bomb threats, the U.S. Education Department announced a nearly 50% workforce reduction as President Trump pushes to eliminate the agency. Layoffs and voluntary buyouts will cut staff in half from the department’s 4,100 personnel list.

• The Trump administration has ordered the USDA to halt federal funding to the University of Maine System over the state's refusal to protect women’s sports. Maine’s largest public college network serves nearly 30,000 students annually.

• Sean Curran was sworn in as Director of Secret Service by DHS Kristi Noem in the Oval Office, with President Trump in attendance.

• DOGE has deactivated over 200,000 unused or unnecessary credit cards across federal agencies after an audit.

• Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced that U.S. egg prices have dropped nearly $2 nationally.

• Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. met with top food executives in D.C., demanding the removal of artificial dyes from U.S. food products. Kennedy emphasized eliminating synthetic additives like Red Dye No. 40 and Yellow No. 5 as a key priority.

• During a White House briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed tariffs are a tax cut for Americans, sparking pushback from an AP reporter who argued they burden importers. Frustrated by the exchange, Leavitt ended it by saying she regretted calling on the AP.

• Leavitt also confirmed that Secretary of State Marco Rubio may revoke pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil’s green card or visa under the Immigration and Nationality Act if he is deemed a threat to U.S. foreign policy or national security.

• Illegal migration through the Darién Gap dropped nearly 99% in February 2025 compared to the previous year. Only 408 migrants crossed, down from 37,166 in February 2024. The figure marks an 82% decline from January 2025. Many migrants are heading south after President Trump’s border crackdown.

• Alina Habba announced that a "truckload" of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents is under review, with prosecutions expected soon.

• President Trump bought a Tesla in support of Elon Musk amid recent protester attacks on Tesla. The vehicle is listed on the Tesla website for $73,490-$88,490 for the all-wheel-drive Model S Plaid.

Vice President…

JD Vance dismissed criticism from his cousin Nate Vance, a former Ukraine volunteer fighter, over his stance on Ukraine and the treatment of President Zelenskyy.

In response to Nate’s remarks, Vance told The New York Post, “I love my cousin Nate, and never spoke publicly about his service in Ukraine because I didn’t want to endanger his life more than it already was… As far as his criticisms, I have no interest in arguing with him in public, but I do feel the need to address one issue in particular: his failed effort to contact me.”

Congress…

Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) was the lone Democrat to support the continuing resolution bill, helping it pass despite GOP Rep. Thomas Massie’s opposition. Golden defended his vote, citing billions for a DDG-51 destroyer at Maine’s Bath Iron Works and the largest junior enlisted military pay raise in 40 years.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) supports Trump’s tariffs to curb fentanyl but urges the strategy to remain temporary, warning of market uncertainty and negative economic impacts.

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) denies Tucker Carlson’s claim that he blocked the release of JFK assassination files. Carlson, speaking with Chris Cuomo, alleged Cotton opposed a Trump Cabinet nominee who would have pushed for disclosure.

Government watchdog group Americans for Public Trust has urged the House to investigate Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) over alleged misuse of taxpayer funds. In a letter to the Office of Congressional Ethics, the group cited “troubling expenses” in her disbursements, claiming potential violations of federal law.

Dem Rep. Pat Ryan and GOP Rep. John James led a round of pushups outside the Capitol.

During a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing, Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) referred to transgender Rep. Sarah McBride (D-DE) as "Mister McBride," sparking a heated exchange with Rep. Bill Keating (D-MA) and leading to the session’s adjournment. The video has gone viral to represent the Trump administration's mandate to recognize only two genders, male and female.

The Resistance…

In Non-Trump News…

Although we deliver you domestic and international news later this afternoon via the DML REPORT newsletter, here are a few worth mentioning now:

1. Private investigator TJ Ward, known for assisting Natalee Holloway’s family 20 years ago, has offered to help locate missing University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki, fearing she may have been abducted. Konanki vanished in the Dominican Republic, and her family has raised alarms over possible foul play. He agrees with their concerns, warning them that the circumstances surrounding her disappearance suggest something sinister may have occurred.

2. Frequent nighttime awakenings may signal serious health issues, not just inconvenience, experts warn. While occasional disruptions can stem from stress or diet, persistent patterns may indicate diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, or even cancer. Sleep expert Dr. Hana Patel advises seeking medical evaluation for recurring disturbances.

3. Kohl’s has slashed its 2025 sales forecast, expecting a 5-7% decline after weak back-to-school and holiday sales. Quarterly profits fell to $48 million from $186 million a year prior, causing a 26% stock drop. In response, Kohl’s will close 27 underperforming stores across 15 states by April 1.
