Summary

Today’s Headlines: In one of the wildest security slip-ups ever, The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally added to a Trump administration Signal chat where officials were planning military strikes in Yemen. Meanwhile, Elon Musk attended his second cabinet meeting—this time getting showered with praise instead of pushback. Trump also announced a 25% tariff on any country buying Venezuelan oil, a move aimed at pressuring both Venezuela and China. Second Lady, Usha Vance is scheduled to visit Greenland as tensions heat up after VP JD Vance suggested the U.S. should take a “territorial interest,” prompting outrage from Danish officials. In other news, The IRS is bracing for a $500 billion revenue shortfall thanks to mass staff cuts, while the White House is now selling corporate sponsorships for its annual Easter Egg Roll. Finally, 23andMe just filed for bankruptcy, a shocking turn for a company once valued at $6 billion.
