Summary

Today’s Headlines: Congressman Andy Ogles proposed a constitutional amendment allowing presidents up to three terms, excluding two-term presidents like Obama. Trump’s busy second term saw Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth confirmed as Cabinet secretaries, an order to release JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr. assassination files, and NIH cancer research halted due to restricted agency operations. Trump’s administration launched a crypto task force, paused gender "X" passport processing, halted most foreign aid (except to Israel and Egypt), and tied California wildfire aid to election law changes. Immigration raids intensified, with costly military deportation flights rejected by Mexico and Colombia, sparking a tariff feud. Egg prices soar due to avian flu, killing 130M poultry. Internationally, Israel and Palestine exchanged hostages under a ceasefire. Elon Musk backed Germany’s far-right AFD, questioning historical guilt and endorsing their agenda.
