Top House Democrat Says Trump Will Be Impeached After Midterms.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Representative Ro Khanna (D-CA) called for the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump after the midterms, citing alleged war crimes and other actions.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Rep. Ro Khanna, President Trump, House Republicans, House Democrats, Senate Republicans, and Senate Democrats.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The comments were made on Thursday evening, April 2, 2026.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The Democrats will impeach him once we take back the House, and should impeach him for all the things he’s done.” — Rep. Ro Khanna

🎯IMPACT: Khanna’s comments confirm that Democrats intend to use their potential House majority to again move to impeach President Trump and hamstring his political agenda for his remaining two years in office.

IN FULL

Congressman Ro Khanna (D-CA)—a top progressive lawmaker in the House of Representatives—confirmed Thursday evening that impeaching President Donald J. Trump will be a top priority for Democrats should they retake the lower legislative chamber in the 2026 midterm elections in November. The California Democrat said he believes the ongoing war with the Islamic Republic of Iran will, at least in part, be used as justification for impeachment.

“He should be impeached now. He’s taken us into a disastrous war, threatening war crimes in Iran, in terms of knocking out plants, and knocking out electricity,” Khanna said in a television interview. He continued, “And the Democrats will impeach him once we take back the House, and should impeach him for all the things he’s done.”

“And, depending on the Senate, he may face conviction if we get to 60, especially if the—his numbers keep going down, and the Epstein issue continues to be a vulnerability,” the House Democrat lawmaker added.

Democrats have long insinuated that they will move to impeach Trump—who was also impeached twice by the House during his first term in office—should they regain the majority in the November elections. However, Khanna’s proposition that his party could take enough seats in the Senate to secure a conviction and removal of the President is fairly far-fetched.

The National Pulse reported at the end of March that a record number of Republicans are retiring from Congress ahead of the midterms. While there are paths for Republicans to retain control of the lower chamber, the number of House retirements—especially committee chairmen—suggests a Democrat takeover is expected. However, the Democrat path to taking the Senate majority is far more difficult, with the open seat in North Carolina being among the more competitive races. Republicans must also defend Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) in Maine—though the 73-year-old lawmaker has consistently defeated Democrat challengers that the corporate media and political establishment expected to unseat her.

EXC: A Bill to Block Illegal Immigrants from U.S. Banking Gets the Nod from Trump’s Treasury.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Senator Tom Cotton introduced the Know Your American Customer Act to ban illegal migrants from accessing the U.S. banking system, and a statement from the Treasury to The National Pulse appears to embrace it.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), U.S. financial institutions, and illegal migrants.

📍WHEN & WHERE: March 2026, Washington, DC.

💬KEY QUOTE: “U.S. Treasury remains committed to supporting the President’s agenda with all available tools, including the targeted use of anti-money laundering capabilities.” – Treasury spokesman.

🎯IMPACT: The bill aims to ensure that U.S. financial institutions comply with immigration laws and prevent illegal migrants from using banking services.

fast

IN FULL

Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has introduced the Know Your American Customer Act, a bill designed to restrict illegal migrants from accessing the American banking system. The legislation mandates that U.S. financial institutions verify the legal status of new customers to ensure compliance with immigration laws. A statement from the Treasury to The National Pulse appears to be broadly supportive of the move.

The bill would require banks and credit unions insured by the FDIC or NCUA to confirm that individuals opening new accounts are U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or legally present on a valid visa. Customers would need to present identification, such as a driver’s license or passport, along with proof of legal status.

Existing customers would be grandfathered into the system, allowing them to maintain or open new accounts at their current institutions. However, it would become a federal crime for illegal migrants to open or maintain accounts at covered institutions under the proposed law.

In 2025, Senator Cotton sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, urging a review of current rules regarding illegal immigrant access to the U.S. banking system. Cotton emphasized the importance of upholding sovereignty and ensuring that financial institutions do not inadvertently assist in breaking immigration laws.

Speaking exclusively to The National Pulse, a Treasury spokesman said: “President Trump has taken a stronger stance against illegal immigration than any president in history, securing our border on day one and leading a government-wide effort to stop the flow of criminals and deadly fentanyl into our country. U.S. Treasury remains committed to supporting the President’s agenda with all available tools, including the targeted use of anti-money laundering capabilities, to protect American citizens from illegal aliens and cartels.”

“Access to the American banking system is a privilege that should only be reserved for those who respect our laws and sovereignty,” Senator Cotton stated.

REPORT: Second Air Force Plane Lost in Middle East, Pilot Rescued.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A second Air Force combat plane crashed in the Persian Gulf region, according to reports.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The lone pilot of the A-10 Warthog attack plane, U.S. officials.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Friday, near the Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf region.

🎯IMPACT: Search-and-rescue operations are reportedly ongoing following a separate incident involving the downing of another plane by Iran.

IN FULL

According to two U.S. officials speaking on condition of anonymity, a second Air Force combat plane crashed in the Persian Gulf region on Friday. The officials said the A-10 Warthog attack plane’s lone pilot was safely rescued.

The crash is said to have happened near the Strait of Hormuz at roughly the same time an Air Force F-15E was reportedly shot down over Iran. Media reports claim that one crew member has been rescued in that incident, while search-and-rescue operations continue for a second airman, but these details are not officially confirmed.

Information on the A-10 crash, including its precise location and cause, is still limited, because officials have not formally confirmed the loss.

New Data Shows U.S. Economy Added Far Fewer Jobs in February Than Previously Stated.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has revised downward February’s already troubling job numbers, with employment losses now topping 133,000 for the month instead of the initially reported loss of 92,000.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Trump administration, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), and American workers.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The revision was announced on Friday, April 3, 2026.

🎯IMPACT: The revision continues to suggest weakness in the U.S. labor market—despite far stronger job numbers in March.

IN FULL

The federal government’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has revised downward February’s already troubling job numbers, with losses now topping 133,000 for the month instead of the initially reported loss of 92,000. Importantly, the revision continues to suggest weakness in the U.S. labor market—despite far stronger jobs numbers in March.

The February revision is especially concerning, as economic forecasters had initially projected a jobs gain of around 60,000. While the initial report showed a net swing of 152,000 jobs between the forecast and actual numbers, the revision reveals an even more troubling gape of 193,000.

Still, March’s job report shows a significant rebound. The National Pulse reported earlier on Friday that the BLS revealed the U.S. added 178,000 jobs in March. Barring future revisions, this indicates the employment market recovered from February and gained a net 45,000 jobs over the last month.

Despite the positive March numbers, what appears to be a systemic problem in how the government calculates its jobs data has resulted in numerous downward revisions for prior months’ data, dating back several years. In 2025, the BLS’s annual benchmark jobs report revision showed there were nearly one million fewer jobs added to the economy during the final year of the former Biden government than initially reported.

Cuba to Release Over 2,000 Political Prisoners Amid Trump Admin Pressure.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Cuba announced the release of 2,010 political prisoners as a “humanitarian and sovereign gesture” during Holy Week.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Cuban communist government, political prisoners in Cuba, and U.S. President Donald J. Trump.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The announcement was made on Thursday by the Cuban embassy in the U.S., with the release coinciding with Holy Week.

🎯IMPACT: The announcement comes amid U.S. political pressure, fuel shortages, and ongoing blackouts in Cuba.

IN FULL

Cuba has announced the release of 2,010 political prisoners as a “humanitarian and sovereign gesture,” according to a statement issued Thursday by the Cuban embassy in the United States. Among those being released are a number of foreign nationals, young people, women, and people aged over 60.

The embassy noted that the decision was made “in the context of the religious celebrations of Holy Week,” which it described as a customary practice in the nation’s criminal justice system. Eligibility for release was determined through “a careful analysis” of offenses, good conduct in prison, time served, and prisoners’ health conditions.

This marks the second such announcement this year. In March, 51 prisoners were freed following talks with the Vatican. Notably, the release comes as Cuba faces mounting political and economic challenges, including U.S. sanctions implemented by President Donald J. Trump. These sanctions have blocked oil shipments to the island, resulting in severe fuel shortages and widespread blackouts.

Cuba’s Communist government, led by Miguel Díaz-Canel, has engaged in talks with the Trump administration to find a resolution to the ongoing tensions. The National Pulse reported last month that President Trump predicts he will have “the honor” of “taking Cuba,” and has posited that the U.S. will lead a “friendly takeover” of the Caribbean island after over 67 years of communist rule.

ICE Detains Islamic Society President Over Alleged Terror Links.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: U.S. federal immigration agents arrested Salah Sarsour, a Palestinian immigrant suspected of funding terror groups.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Salah Sarsour, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Sarsour’s attorneys.

📍WHEN & WHERE: April 2026, Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

💬KEY QUOTE: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says Sarsour was previously “convicted for throwing Molotov cocktails at the homes of Israeli armed forces.”

🎯IMPACT: Sarsour’s arrest has sparked allegations that the U.S. is “doing the bidding” of Israel by silencing pro-Palestinian voices, but U.S. officials say he lied on his immigration forms and has links to fundraising for terror groups.

IN FULL

Salah Sarsour, president of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee and Wisconsin’s largest mosque, has been detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). U.S. officials say he is suspected of funding terrorist organizations.

Sarsour has lived in the United States as a legal permanent resident for more than 30 years. His supporters are demanding his release, arguing that he has been singled out because of his criticism of Israel. One of his attorneys, Munjed Ahmad, said, “Our government should not be doing the bidding of a foreign government,” adding that the arrest is intended to suppress pro-Palestinian voices.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) says Sarsour was previously “convicted for throwing Molotov cocktails at the homes of Israeli armed forces,” although his attorneys claim a conviction related to this incident was known to U.S. authorities when he arrived in 1993.

DHS insists that Sarsour “lied on his immigration application,” adding: “This terrorist will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.”

Trump Proposes $1.5 TRILLION Military Budget.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump rolled out his new federal budget proposal on Friday, which includes a record $1.5 trillion Department of War budget for the fiscal year 2027. This marks a nearly 40 percent increase over the fiscal year 2026 military spending.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, the Department of War, and the U.S. Congress.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The fiscal year 2027 budget was released on Friday, April 3, 2026.

🎯IMPACT: The increase in military spending is likely to include $185 billion for President Trump’s Golden Dome missile defense system, as well as significant allocations of money for replenishing munition stockpiles that have been nearly depleted through the former Biden government’s transfer of weapons to Ukraine and the ongoing war with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

IN FULL

President Donald J. Trump rolled out his new federal budget proposal on Friday, which includes a record $1.5 trillion Department of War budget for the fiscal year 2027. This marks a nearly 40 percent increase over the fiscal year 2026 military spending.

Last year, the U.S. military and defense budget topped $1 trillion for the first time ever, after Congress adopted a $150 billion supplemental funding bill that added the initial $892.6 billion appropriation they had previously approved. The budget revealed by the Trump White House on Friday only includes top line number, with the Pentagon expected to provide a more detailed breakdown on April 21.

Still, the increase in military spending is likely to include $185 billion for President Trump’s Golden Dome missile defense system, as well as significant allocations of money for replenishing munition stockpiles that have been nearly depleted through the former Biden government’s transfer of weapons to Ukraine and the ongoing war with the Islamic Republic of Iran. In addition, the budget is expected to include significant appropriations for new warship construction, including the Trump-class battleship—a U.S. Navy guided-missile vessel.

The Trump White House is pushing Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill to adopt around $350 to $500 billion of the $1.5 trillion proposal through the use of the budget reconciliation process. This likely means that the current plan to fund detention and deportation operations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through reconciliation will be folded into the military reconciliation plan.

Congressional rules prohibit the use of reconciliation more than twice per Congress, though some experts contend there are mechanisms that allow it to be used a third time.

REPORT: U.S. Jet Shot Down Over Iran.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Iran has reportedly shot down a U.S. fighter jet, according to Iranian media and a source familiar with the incident.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The incident involves the Iranian military and the U.S. military, with a search and rescue effort underway for two crew members.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The event was reported on Friday, with Iranian state media releasing images and videos allegedly showing parts of the downed plane.

🎯IMPACT: This incident marks the first time a U.S. jet has been downed by enemy fire since the start of the war.

IN FULL

Iran has reportedly shot down a U.S. fighter jet, with Iranian media and a source familiar with the incident confirming the event. A search and rescue operation is underway to locate the two crew members.

This marks the first instance since the beginning of the war that a U.S. jet has been downed by enemy fire. The U.S. military and the White House have not yet responded to requests for comment.

Iranian state media released images and videos on Friday, allegedly displaying parts of the downed aircraft and one of the ejection seats.

The visuals suggest that the aircraft in question is an F-15 fighter jet, although this has not been officially confirmed by U.S. authorities.

The situation remains tense as efforts continue to recover the crew and ascertain the full details of the incident.

Trump Economy: Jobs Rebound With 178,000 Positions Added.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: The U.S. job market added 178,000 jobs in March, rebounding from February’s loss of 133,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate dipped to 4.3 percent.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Labor Department, health care companies, construction companies, and factories contributed to the job growth.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The report was released on Friday, detailing job gains in March across the United States.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The trend reflects an aging U.S. population,” said Vanguard economist Adam Schickling in commentary on the report.

🎯IMPACT: Despite the rebound, concerns remain over high interest rates, artificial intelligence (AI), and geopolitical uncertainty surrounding the Iran war and other flashpoints.

IN FULL

The U.S. job market rebounded in March, adding 178,000 jobs according to the Labor Department—a sharp turnaround from February’s loss of 133,000 jobs. The unemployment rate fell to 4.3 percent, from 4.4 percent the month before.

Health care led the gains with 76,400 new positions, including the return of 31,000 Kaiser Permanente workers who had been on strike in February. Construction added 26,000 jobs and factories gained 15,000, both helped by milder weather.

The March figures came in much stronger than economists had predicted. However, the labor force shrank by 396,000 people, which partly accounts for the lower unemployment rate. Average hourly wages rose 0.2 percent from February and 3.5 percent from March 2025, staying in line with the Federal Reserve’s inflation target.

Even with the improvement, the job market has faced headwinds over the past year. Businesses have been reluctant to hire amid high interest rates and uncertainty over President Donald J. Trump’s trade policies, which have been disrupted by lawfare campaigns. Worries about artificial intelligence (AI) displacing entry-level roles and the ongoing war in Iran have added to the cautious outlook.

Most new jobs continue to come from health care and social assistance sectors, a trend driven by the country’s aging population. Vanguard economist Adam Schickling argues that “the trend reflects an aging U.S. population,” noting similarities with Japan’s experience in the early 2010s.

Throat-Slashing Venezuelan Migrant Feared to Be Serial Killer ‘Copycat.’

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A Venezuelan man has been charged with attempted murder following a throat-slashing incident, raising fears of a potential serial killer copycat.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Ruben Guanipa Ramirez, 26, and an unidentified male victim.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The incident occurred at a remote beach in Suffolk County, New York.

💬KEY QUOTE: “The evidence recovered from his vehicle raises serious questions about what he intended that night.” – Ray Tierney

🎯IMPACT: The incident fuels concerns of a copycat crime linked to the Gilgo Beach serial killer case.

IN FULL

New York prosecutors have charged 26-year-old Venezuelan national Ruben Guanipa Ramirez with attempted murder in an incident that has raised concerns about a possible copycat attack modeled after alleged Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann. According to the authorities, Ramirez drove a man to an isolated beach, then attacked him from behind with a knife. The victim was smothered with a rag, stabbed on the left side, and an attempt was made to slash his throat.

“During the altercation, the victim sustained defensive wounds to his hands but was able to wrestle the knife away from Ramirez,” Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney’s office said in a statement. The victim then took control of Ramirez’s car, called 911, and drove himself to a friend’s apartment in Queens, where he was met by New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers and received medical care.

A search of Ramirez’s vehicle turned up knives, rope, duct tape, and a “large-wheeled bag,” items that have prompted serious alarm. Although no direct connection to the Gilgo Beach case has been confirmed, retired NYPD sergeant Joseph Giacalone, former head of the Bronx Cold Case Unit, highlighted disturbing parallels. “Was this a copycat crime… related to what is happening with Rex Heuermann in the news?” he asked. “They need to take a long, hard look at this guy.”

Giacalone pointed out that the recovered items were especially troubling, noting that Heuermann’s alleged victims had been bound with duct tape and wrapped in burlap or plastic, with some dismembered.

Ramirez is being held at Suffolk County Jail—the same facility housing Heuermann. If convicted, the Venezuelan could face up to 25 years in prison.

Two States Enact Strict Proof of Citizenship Requirements to Vote.

PULSE POINTS

❓WHAT HAPPENED: Florida and Mississippi have enacted measures requiring proof of citizenship to vote.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Officials in Florida and Mississippi, voters in both states.

📍WHEN & WHERE: April 2, 2026, in the states of Florida and Mississippi.

💬KEY QUOTE: “This is another win for election integrity in Mississippi (and America),” said Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves.

🎯IMPACT: These measures aim to prevent voter fraud and ensure election integrity, aligning with reforms pursued by President Donald J. Trump.

IN FULL

Florida and Mississippi have passed strict measures requiring proof of citizenship in order to vote. Florida’s new measures require potential voters to provide a birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or passport. Those seeking to vote must also match their citizenship status with the status shown on their driver’s license. Similarly, Mississippi’s new measures compel electoral officials to check if those registering to vote have driver’s license numbers on their voter application. Mississippi’s law also mandates annual checks of the voter roll against a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) database to flag any potential voter fraud.

“This is another win for election integrity in Mississippi (and America),” Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves (R) said on X (formerly Twitter), adding: “We will continue to do everything in our power to make it infinitely harder—with a goal to make it impossible—to cheat in our elections!”

Florida and Mississippi are among four Republican-controlled states, along with South Dakota and Utah, that have enacted proof-of-citizenship measures this year. These measures reflect election integrity reforms demanded by President Donald J. Trump, such as requiring a birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or passport.

President Trump has also issued an executive order to reform mail-in ballot voting, which is facing obstruction from Democrat lawmakers, left-wing activists, and liberal judges.
