 Stranded NASA astronauts depart ISS for Earth

By Simon Kent | Breitbart NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore were on their way home Tuesday after being stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) orbital laboratory for 286 days. Their return is thanks in no small part to the combined drive and ambition of President Donald Trump and Elon Musk to “go get them.” The pair decided to accelerate the astronauts’ return and laid the blame for their troubles on the tardy Biden administration.

Trump to talk with Putin on Tuesday in hopes of Ukraine deal, dividing ‘land, power plants’

By Oliver JJ Lane | Breitbart President Donald Trump confirmed that he is set to hold Ukraine war peace talks with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday this week, saying land and power plants are among the items on the agenda for how a post-war Ukraine will look. Negotiations over the future of the Ukraine War have been continuing behind closed doors between the United States of America and the Russian Federation, President Trump said, as he revealed that leader talks are scheduled for Tuesday. President Trump greeted journalists aboard Air Force One as he flew from Florida to Washington D.C. late Sunday night and opened with thoughts on the Ukraine War before taking questions. Summarising the advances in communications with Russia in recent days — which, until weeks ago, ...

Secretary Bessent on ‘reprivatization’ of economy: ‘We are laser-focused on getting this deficit under control’

By Matthew Boyle | Breitbart Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Breitbart News exclusively that President Donald Trump’s administration is “laser-focused” on cutting the deficit and getting spending “under control,” part of his larger vision of “reprivatization” of the U.S. economy so economic growth is no longer dependent on government spending but instead on private sector growth. Bessent said he joined Trump on the campaign trail last year and later joined his cabinet because he was “so alarmed” by the “high level of government spending” that had taken hold in recent years. Bessent delivered a major address to the Economic Club of New York last week in which he called for a “reprivatization” of the U.S. economy, arguing that under former President Joe Biden’s administration, th...

Producer inflation stopped cold in Trump’s first month, core prices fell

By John Carney | Breitbart Promises made, promises kept. “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One,” Donald Trump said on the campaign trail last summer. Critics claimed, without evidence, that Trump’s tariff plans would raise inflation. Many economists argued that while the rate of price increases might slow, prices would not decline and Americans would simply have to adjust to the new higher price level. In February, however, the core producer price index for final demand declined by 0.1 percent. In other words, prices of goods and services— excluding food and energy—sold by U.S. businesses came down. The broader index for producer prices was flat for the month, indicating that there was no inflation at all in the month. READ THE FULL STORY ...

EPA Chief Lee Zeldin Moves to clear massive Biden-era agency backlog to improve air quality faster

By Sean Moran | Breitbart EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin on Wednesday announced he would move to clear the hundreds of backlogged cases to clean air, saying the Biden administration focused on “ideological pursuits” rather than the agency’s “core mission.” The agency said it would commit to working with states and tribes to resolve the hundreds of backlogged State Implementation Plans (SIPs) and Tribal Implementation Plans (TIPs) the Biden-Harris administration could not or would not resolve. At the end of the Biden administration, there were 685 unresolved SIPs with 322 considered overdue. “The Biden Administration’s focus on ideological pursuits instead of the agency’s core mission and statutory duties resulted in a delay of air quality improvement,” the EPA administrator wrote in...

Marco Rubio cancels 83% of USAID programs

By Simon Kent | Breitbart Eighty-three percent of the programs directly funded and administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) were canceled Monday by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio took to social media to announce the latest step in the Trump administration’s efforts to cleanse the deep state from government institutions. The decision came after a six week review of the programs, Rubio set out, citing their funding as antithetical to the core interests of the United States: READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Google begs Trump DOJ to reverse course on breaking up monopoly after antitrust trial

By Lucas Nolan | Breitbart Google is asking the Trump administration’s Justice Department to reconsider its push to break up the search giant, arguing that such a move could harm U.S. national security and the economy. Bloomberg reports that representatives from Google met with officials from the DOJ last week, urging them to take a less aggressive approach in their ongoing antitrust case against the company. The search engine giant is currently facing potential remedies that could force it to sell its Chrome web browser and make significant changes to its business practices, including ending billions of dollars in exclusivity payments to companies like Apple. Google’s argument centers around the potential impact on national security and the economy if the company were to be brok...

EPA working with DOJ, FBI on NGO corruption after eight groups tied to ‘gold bars’ scheme

By Sean Moran | Breitbart Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin detailed on The Alex Marlow Show how the Biden administration protected $20 billion in “gold bars” meant for leftist NGOs, many of them with connections to the Biden administration. Zeldin sent shockwaves in mid-February after he had pledged to recover $20 billion in taxpayer funds that had been sent by the Biden administration to climate change projects and other pet projects of Democrat staffers. The EPA Administrator at the time likened it to “throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” saying that it was a “rush job with reduced oversight.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Zelensky says ‘End of War with Russia is very, very far away’

By AP via Breitbart A deal to end the war between Ukraine and Russia “is still very, very far away,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, adding that he expects to keep receiving American support despite his recent fraught relations with U.S. President Donald Trump. “I think our relationship (with the U.S.) will continue, because it’s more than an occasional relationship,” Zelenskyy said late Sunday, referring to Washington’s support for the past three years of war. “I believe that Ukraine has a strong enough partnership with the United States of America” to keep aid flowing, he said at a briefing in Ukrainian before leaving London.

WaPo editor quits after Bezos orders opinion page to defend free markets, personal liberty

By John Nolte | Breitbart Washington Post  opinion editor David Shipley resigned Tuesday after the paper’s owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, announced that, going forward, on the opinion pages, “We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.” Bezos made the announcement to the Post staff on Tuesday. “We’ll cover other topics too of course,” he added, “but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.” “I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical,” Bezos continued. “And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART
