In a 6-3 ruling, the Supreme Court held that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize presidential tariffs, invalidating Trump's broad levies on imports from many countries that had generated $130 billion. Trump brushed it off in a White House briefing, signing an executive order for a new 10% global tariff under the Trade Act of 1974—later raised to 15%—while calling critics like Hakeem Jeffries low IQ and praising dissenting justices. He urged Republicans to stick together amid private GOP relief over the decision and Democratic cheers for checking executive power, as refund lawsuits pile up ahead of midterms.

Key Takeaway

Hours after a Supreme Court smackdown on his global tariffs, President Trump turned to Truth Social to blast fellow Republicans as disloyal and demand they unite to win.

Russia, Iran, and China began the 'Maritime Security Belt 2026' exercises on Thursday, focusing on countering maritime threats like piracy through coordinated special forces operations near the Strait of Hormuz. The drills come amid rising U.S.-Iran friction over Tehran's nuclear program, with President Trump issuing a short deadline for a deal and deploying carriers, drones, and bombers to the region. A Russian command plane's arrival in Tehran fueled online worries of escalation, though experts call it posturing tied to deepening Moscow-Tehran ties rather than war preparations.

Key Takeaway

Helicopters hovered as Iranian and Russian special forces rappelled onto a mock hijacked ship, practicing rescues in the Gulf of Oman just as U.S. forces build up nearby.

Conservative voices are ramping up demands for McConnell to retire, pointing to his age, health issues like a February flu hospitalization and past freezes, plus his role chairing the Senate Rules Committee that's stalling the SAVE America Act. The House-passed bill requires proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration, a Trump-backed measure with strong GOP support, but it lacks a Senate hearing amid McConnell's rift with the president. Trump and influencers like Laura Loomer are pressing Senate GOP Leader John Thune to remove McConnell from the chairmanship, highlighting broader party tensions as his Kentucky seat faces voters in November.

Key Takeaway

At 84, Sen. Mitch McConnell faced a recent hospital stay and unsteady moments at podiums, fueling urgent calls from conservatives for him to step aside.

Host Iain Dale role-played as Putin on LBC Thursday evening, prompting Polanski to stress negotiation amid nuclear risks. Commentators mocked the remarks harshly, with Alex Massie comparing Polanski unfavorably to Jeremy Corbyn and James Cleverly calling them less sophisticated than children's views. While the Green Party backs Ukraine and sanctions, internal motions push to quit NATO, and defenders like Owen Jones cite past Western interventions as reasons for caution. The controversy underscores divides in British politics over Russia, Ukraine, and NATO amid U.S. shifts.

Key Takeaway

During a live radio interview, England's Green Party leader Zack Polanski urged diplomacy with Vladimir Putin, warning of mutual nuclear obliteration if talks fail.

The Siege of the Alamo began February 23, 1836, when General Santa Anna's forces surrounded the fortified mission in San Antonio, home to leaders like James Bowie and Davy Crockett. For 13 days, the outnumbered defenders held out under heavy fire until a pre-dawn assault on March 6 overwhelmed them, killing nearly all. Though a loss, their stand inspired the 'Remember the Alamo!' cry that led to Texas victory at San Jacinto. Today, the 190th anniversary draws reflections on the chapel's legacy, family visits, and planned reenactments through March 6.

Key Takeaway

On a crisp morning in 1836, about 200 Texian defenders inside the old mission faced down 1,500 Mexican troops demanding surrender. Lt. Col. William B. Travis fired back—with a cannon shot and his 'Victory or Death' letter.

DeMario and Alcantu, who came to the U.S. from Cuba 25 years ago via the Visa Lottery, both supported Trump— he voted for him, she prayed for his win. But during a routine ICE check-in last June, agents found the old order from a traffic stop with three Xanax pills, shackled her, and moved her from Florida to Louisiana without a judge yet. Now running his Miami-Dade guitar shop alone, DeMario started a GoFundMe for her costs and vowed never to vote Republican again amid Trump's ramped-up deportations of Cubans, including ending parole programs.

Key Takeaway

Wayne DeMario teared up on camera, pleading to President Trump: 'Please get her home! She prayed for you.' His partner of 20 years, Yamile Alcantu, has been in ICE detention for eight months over a forgotten 2008 deportation order.

The high-performance EVM-compatible layer-1 chain now holds $120 million in total value locked, with smart money investing $1.2 million in its MON token. Yet NFT projects like Monuki saw floor prices drop from 118 MON to 80 MON, leaving minters underwater after high fees. The MON airdrop to 76,000 wallets led to quick sales, tanking the token from $0.10 to $0.027, while some question favoritism toward the mascot project Chog. Monad's tech shines at 10,000 TPS with sub-second finality, but builders call for better balance between growth and ecosystem support.

Key Takeaway

Just 11 days after its November 24 launch, Monad added 529,000 new wallets in a week, processing 14.5 million transactions. But NFT creators feel the pinch with slow mints and falling prices.
