Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announces Nicole Shanahan as his vice presidential pick

By Diana Glebova | The New York Post Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his running mate Tuesday after months of speculation, picking entrepreneur and attorney Nicole Shanahan as his No. 2. Introducing Shanahan, 38, at an event in her hometown of Oakland, the 70-year-old Kennedy said he was “looking for a partner who is a young person.” “I wanted that because I wanted Nicole to be a champion of the growing number of millennial and Gen Z Americans who have lost faith in their future,” he added.

By LIA RUSSELL and DILLON MULLAN | The Baltimore Sun Authorities will resume searching Wednesday for six missing construction workers who fell into the Patapsco River after a cargo vessel struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday morning. Gov. Wes Moore and representatives from the U.S. Coast Guard and Maryland State Police said Tuesday evening during a news conference in Dundalk that they would transition to a recovery operation to find the six men, who have not been officially identified, and are presumed to be dead after they fell into the river following the bridge’s collapse at 1:27 a.m. Tuesday. Two others were rescued early Tuesday from the water, one of whom was treated and released from the hospital, according to officials. READ THE FULL STORY...

Trump Media stock jumps as much as 50 percent before brief halt for volatility

By Jack Phillips | The Epoch Times Shares of former President Donald Trump’s social media and technology company jumped about 50 percent on Tuesday in its first day of trading on the Nasdaq before it was briefly halted for volatility. After making its debut, shares for the Trump Media & Technology Group stock, called “DJT,” spiked 50 percent. But it was briefly halted because of the sharp rise before it had resumed trading at around 9:40 a.m. ET. It’s not uncommon for the trading of highly-watched stocks to be suspended when the price increases or plunges too quickly. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE EPOCH TIMES

Congress tells BLM: Fewer roundups, more humane fertility control

By The Fence Post (Via American Wild Horse Conservation) WASHINGTON, D.C. — Last week, Congress took decisive action to prioritize humane wild horse and burro management practices over controversial helicopter roundups. President Joe Biden signed into law a $460 billion package of fiscal year 24 spending bills on Saturday, March 9, narrowly averting a government shutdown. Among the provisions was a significant spending cut for the Bureau of Land Management’s Wild Horse and Burro Program budget, emphasizing the need for a shift toward humane and sustainable in-the-wild conservation strategies. The bill allocates $141.9 million for the BLM program, marking a $5.9 million reduction from last year’s budget. Notably, the legislation preserves $11 million in funding specifically designa...

Jensen: Why conservative climate leadership is needed

By Sarah Jensen | Guest Columnist New findings from the University of Colorado Boulder’s Center for Environmental Futures suggest that by embracing a conservative approach to climate change, one that is pro-American and pro-innovation, the Republican Party can win over voters and ensure a cleaner, healthier future for all Americans. Specifically, the report found that the number of American voters concerned about climate change is becoming an increasing majority and that views on climate change were one of the strongest predictors of pro-Democratic voters in the 2020 general election, especially among Independents and younger generations. The authors discovered that voters who stated climate change was somewhat or very important represented 67% of voters in the 2020 election, 77%...

Trump says he’ll post $175M in fraud case after new court order

By Catherine Yang | The Epoch Times The Appellate Division, First Judicial Department of the New York State Supreme Court has granted a stay of enforcement on the $464 million judgment on former President Donald Trump with conditions, allowing the Trump Organization to avert having assets imminently seized by the New York attorney general. The order came after defense attorneys argued a $464 million bond was impossible after having contracted four brokers to negotiate with more than 30 companies. Sureties don’t issue bonds that big for private individuals, and even if the Trump Organization was a public conglomerate they could issue such a bond to, it would require some $570 million in cash to cover additional premiums.

Former Defense Secretary Says Jan. 6 Committee Issued ‘Latent Threat’ to Keep Quiet

By Jack Phillips | The Epoch Times A former Trump secretary of defense revealed that he was pressured by the House Jan. 6 committee into staying silent about claims that then-President Donald Trump authorized the deployment of National Guard troops before the breach at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Speaking to the Daily Mail on March 23, former acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, who was only on the job for about two months, said that members of the Democrat-led panel used “aggressive” tactics after he spoke to several media outlets about the Trump authorization. The final report from the Jan. 6 subcommittee, which was dissolved after the current Congress took over, claimed that President Trump did not authorize the deployment of the National Guard.

Greene files motion to oust Speaker Johnson after House passes $1.2 trillion spending bill

By BRIANNA LYMAN | The Federalist Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene filed a motion to oust Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday after the House passed a $1.2 trillion spending bill that includes dozens of left-wing earmarks but no Republican voters’ priorities. Greene urged Johnson not to allow the bill a floor vote, calling it a “complete departure” from the party’s core values. “No Republican in the House of Representatives in good conscience can vote for this bill. It is a complete departure from all of our principles, especially if you call yourself ‘pro-life’,” Green said on the House floor. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST

Congress Unveils $1.2 Trillion Plan to Avert Shutdown

SOURCE: Newsmax Lawmakers introduced a $1.2 trillion spending package Thursday that sets the stage for avoiding a partial government shutdown for several key federal agencies this weekend and allows Congress, nearly six months into the budget year, to complete its work in funding the government through September. Democrats were largely able to swat back scores of policy mandates and some of the steeper budget cuts that House Republicans were seeking to impose on nondefense programs, though House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., highlighted some policy wins, including a nearly 24% increase in detention beds for migrants awaiting their immigration proceedings or removal from the country. This year's spending bills were divided into two packages. The first one cleared Congress two weeks ...

Poll shows who Republicans want as Trump’s VP running mate

By Casey Harper | The Center Square (The Center Square) – Republican voters have suggestions for former President Donald Trump when he considers his running mate for vice president. The Center Square Voter’s Voice poll released this week asked voters this question: “Who should Donald Trump choose as his vice presidential candidate?” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis narrowly edged out the other potential candidates. DeSantis was once seen as a serious threat to Trump for the presidential nomination, but after Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was raided by the FBI, Trump’s poll numbers soared. DeSantis was left behind in the polling and never recovered. Now, according to the survey, 18% of Republicans want DeSantis to be Trump’s vice presidential running mate.
