Leftist Democrats are expected to launch a variety of attempts to disrupt President Donald J. Trump’s address to Congress on March 4. Members of the party are divided on the level of disruption, however.
Reported tactics include carrying symbolic props like egg cartons to highlight inflation, holding protest signs, and coordinating clothing colors. Additionally, some Democrats have considered leaving the chamber if the president touches on certain topics, such as childhood gender transitions.
Democratic leaders have urged their members to keep any forms of dissent respectful, cautioning that loud disruptions could backfire by galvanizing support for Trump.
One component of the Democratic protest is the Democratic Women’s Caucus, which is calling for members to wear pink, while the Congressional Black Caucus has considered dressing in black.
The White House, meanwhile, has dismissed the Democrats planned stunts, saying, “Democrats behaving like children would be the least surprising news of the night.”
The address, expected to be a significant political event, will commence at 9 PM EST. White House officials have previewed the themes of Trump’s speech, which will highlight achievements both domestically and internationally, as well as plans for further economic development and border security.

The German-based pharmaceutical and biotechnology giant Bayer AG has ramped up its political spending at the state level in the United States—especially in Missouri—as it continues to fight thousands of lawsuits stemming from its acquisition of the infamous American biochemical company Monsanto. When Bayer AG bought Monsanto in 2018 and folded the company into its crop science division, officially dissolving Monsanto as a corporate entity, it also assumed the American company’s legal liabilities. Monsanto has faced ongoing lawsuits since 2015 that allege its popular herbicide Roundup’s primary active ingredient, glyphosate, is a dangerous carcinogen and that the company failed to adequately warn consumers.
Missouri has especially become a concerning litigation hotspot for Bayer AG, with an estimated 25,000 lawsuits currently pending in the state’s Cole County alone. The evidentiary discovery process in one of those Cole County lawsuits has revealed an aggressive media campaign being run by alleged agricultural industry advocacy groups—pushing for changes in state law that would be more legally favorable to the German company—are essentially political fronts funded by Bayer AG.
Since this past November, Modern Ag Alliance—one of the agricultural industry advocacy groups backed with money from Bayer AG—has spent over $100,000 on a radio advertising campaign in and around Missouri’s state capital, Jefferson City, claiming glyphosate is not harmful and critical to the American farming industry. The money appears to have been well spent, as controversial legislation shielding Bayer AG from most of the current Monsanto Roundup litigation narrowly passed in the Missouri House of Representatives last month. However, the bill faces increasing opposition in the State Senate from Republican and Democrat lawmakers who contend it is a dubious effort to shield Bayer AG from being sued over their legal liability regarding the once popular herbicide.
Sponsored by State Representative Dane Diehl (R), the legislation would mandate that the federal warning label that the EPA requires to be visible on Roundup is sufficient to comply with Missouri state law. If adopted by the state senate and signed by the governor, the measure would likely end most of the pending litigation against Bayer AG in the state. Notably, Bayer AG set aside $16 billion after purchasing Monsanto to cover any legal damages stemming from the Roundup lawsuits. The German company has already paid $10 billion in damages and settlements from the $16 billion fund.
Meanwhile, some Missouri lawmakers also see the legislation and the Bayer AG-backed media campaign as part of an effort to sideline any pushback from President Donald J. Trump’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, which is led by Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert. F. Kennedy Jr.
“I strongly believe we shouldn’t be granting major corporations special exemptions from the law,” State Rep. Mazzie Christensen (R) said in a statement sent to The National Pulse. She continued: “This reminds me of the federal PREP Act, related to COVID-19 vaccines, which granted legal immunity to manufacturers, distributors, and administrators, leaving most lawsuits against vaccine manufacturers off the table. The Republican lawmaker notes that many countries around the world are moving to either limit or ban the use of glyphosate-based herbicides, including Roundup.
Rep. Christensen added: “These companies also attempt to invoke government contractor immunity in their defense.”

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has indicated his openness to a potential presidential run in 2028. Walz remarked, “If I feel like I can serve, I will,” while acknowledging that, “If, nationally, people are like, ‘Dude, we tried you and look how that worked out,’ I’m good with that.”
When addressed directly about a future presidential bid, Walz highlighted a piece of advice from a friend: “Never turn down a job you haven’t been offered.” Walz mentioned that he would consider running if he believes he possesses something valuable to contribute. “I’m also, though, not arrogant enough to believe there’s a lot of people that can do this.”
The Democrats and their media allies pitched Walz to the public as a moderate “Midwestern Dad” and veteran in 2024, opening to soften leading candidate Kamala Harris’s history of radical left politics on immigration and transgenderism. One popular left-wing commentator went so far as to describe him as “the first white male DEI hire.”
However, it soon became apparent that Walz has a track record as radical as Harris’s, overseeing the installation of tampons in boys’ restrooms in Minnesota schools as Governor and praising Chinese communism as a system where “everyone shares” and “everyone is the same.” His record in the National Guard also came under scrutiny, with his claims to have carried weapons “in war” during an anti-war speech proven false and former comrades branding him a “coward” and a “deserter” as well as a “habitual liar.”
One prominent Democrat activist to back Walz, 60, as “the future” of the party is anti-gun campaigner David Hogg. Walz, in turn, has endorsed Hogg for Democratic National Committee (DNC) vice chair.

PresidentDonald J. Trump is set to issue an executive order on Friday declaring English the official language of the United States. The order will rescind a directive by former President Bill Clinton mandating federal agencies and entities receiving federal funding provide alternatives for non-English speakers.
Since its founding, the United States has never had an official language at the federal level. However, surveys consistently show elevating English to official status is politically popular and that most Americans believe those residing in the country should speak the predominantly native language. According to Pew Research, just over eight in ten American adults say speaking English is very or somewhat important to “truly be American.”
While President Trump’s executive order rescinds the Clinton-era directive, it does not bar federal agencies from continuing to provide language assistance for non-English speakers. The Trump White House contends the President’s order will help to establish greater civic cohesion, promote national unity, and streamline government services.
Individuals seeking to become naturalized U.S. citizens already have to demonstrate an ability to speak, read, and write in English—which nearly 80 percent of Americans speak at home. Around 30 states have also passed laws making English the official language at the state level.
Notably, during his time in the U.S. Senate, Vice President J.D. Vance introduced legislation along with Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) that directed the federal government to conduct all official business in English.

CNN’s Jake Tapper is claiming he has been covering former President Joe Biden‘s cognitive decline “for years” as he hawks a new book titled Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, And His Disastrous Decision to Run Again, based on interviews with many Democratic Party insiders.
Despite once claiming that “Joe Biden has dementia” was a narrative pushed by “the Russians,” Tapper is now denouncing Biden’s decision to seek reelection. Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson, of Axios, now say that Biden’s declining faculties were hidden from the public, with Tapper claiming CNN viewers “know” he has “been covering the concerns about President Biden’s age and health for years.” However, he was, in fact, one of Biden’s top apologists.
In a 2020 interview with Lara Trump, for instance, Tapper slammed Lara Trump for highlighting Biden’s mental deterioration, alleging she was “mocking” people with stutters—including “little kids”—and that she had “no standing” to “diagnose” the elderly Democrat.
The book comes as Tapper faces legal challenges. He was central to a defamation case in which Navy veteran Zachary Young accused CNN of misrepresenting him as an “illegal profiteer” during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. CNN was ordered to compensate Young with $5 million in damages.

Federal agents are reportedly probing a social media “influencer” over a video calling for the assassination of tech billionaire Elon Musk. Sarah C. Roberts explicitly called for the killing of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief on TikTok.
Roberts, who has around 4,000 followers on the social media platform, posted a video where she mimicked a throat-slitting gesture accompanied by the words, “We need to X him,” referring to Elon Musk. She elaborated, “And by X, I mean formally known as assassination.”
In addition to these violent remarks, the New Yorker seemed to boast about not filing taxes for approximately eight years. “Arrest me,” she stated, challenging law enforcement.
The video was subsequently shared on X by the account Libs of TikTok, attracting over 16 million views, including one from Musk himself. Musk alerted Ed Martin, the U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C., about the post.
Musk labeled the video’s comments as a “death threat and admission of multiple counts of tax fraud” and remarked on the audacity of individuals admitting crimes publicly. Martin acknowledged the video with a response, saying, “Thx for letting us know. We’ll put you in the system. Talk soon, M’am.”
Musk has previously claimed there have been at least two assassination plots against him in the past. Last year also saw two unsuccessful attempts to murder President Donald J. Trump.

President Donald J. Trump has stated that the purpose of the European Union (EU) is to “screw the United States,” announcing a decision has been made to enact a 25 percent tariff on automobiles and other products imported from the bloc. Speaking to reporters during the first meeting of his new Cabinet, the President said, “They don’t accept our cars, they don’t essentially accept our farm products; they use all sorts of reasons why not.”
Trump explained that he loves the countries of Europe, recognizing his own European ancestry, but that the U.S. has a deficit of around $300 billion with the EU. “It was formed to screw the United States; I mean, let’s be honest,” Trump said. “And they’ve done a good job of it. But now, I’m President.”
When asked about potential retaliation from the EU, Trump stated, “They can’t. I mean, they can try, but they can’t.”
President Trump also announced that tariffs against Canada and Mexico are set to be enacted on April 2— although they may be delayed again. The tariffs were previously delayed when both Canada and Mexico vowed to do more to tackle border issues, including the trafficking of the deadly drug fentanyl.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard is announcing the imminent dismissal of over 100 intelligence community employees connected to a series of sexually explicit and graphic posts regarding sexual fetishes and transgenderism on an intragovernmental server. The individuals—employed by the National Security Administration (NSA) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)—engaged in the inappropriate discussions during work hours.
Gabbard notes the severity of the situation, describing it as a significant violation of trust, potentially having national security and blackmail implications. “There are over 100 people from across the intelligence community that contributed to and participated in what is really just an egregious violation of trust,” President Donald J. Trump’s DNI said during an interview yesterday. Gabbard added: “I put out a directive today that they will all be terminated and their security clearances will be revoked.”
On Tuesday, the National Pulse reported that NSA and CIA staff had made a series of posts discussing transgenderism and castration fetishes on a DEI-themed chat channel hosted on an intergovernmental server. The logs, originally obtained by City Journal, show NSA, CIA, and DIA employees discussing polyamory, transgender surgeries, and explicit sexual topics on government time using the NSA’s Intelink messaging platform.
Meanwhile, Gabbard—in a post on X (formerly Twitter)—confirmed that action is being taken against those identified. “Memo sent. We know who they are. Action is underway,” the Trump White House’s Director of National Intelligence wrote.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) blew through millions of taxpayer dollars funding Ukrainian businesses, according to an investigation by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA). USAID staff attempted to block the Iowa Republican’s investigation, appearing to insist certain documents pertaining to their Ukraine activities were classified. However, this was not actually the case.
In October 2024, Sen. Ernst and her staff were finally allowed to access the Ukraine assistance data and found that the agency had funded numerous businesses and start-ups in the country with only the most tenuous connections to actual aid needs related to the ongoing Russian invasion. The inquiry revealed millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars were allocated to various Ukrainian businesses, some of which included unexpected ventures such as a pet tracking app.
Ernst’s office noted significant financial support for projects initialized under USAID‘s Competitive Economy Program and Investment for Business Resilience funds. The investigation found approximately $300,000 earmarked for a pet collar manufacturer and $300,000 for a pet food packaging enterprise.
The investigation further identified that fashion-related businesses received a total of around $733,000. Various fashion enterprises benefitted notably from the funding, including a women’s clothing company and a bridal brand. Moreover, more significant disbursements were made to ventures such as a carpet manufacturer, which received nearly $2 million.
Financial assistance was extended to the food sector in addition to manufacturing, with grants provided to a pickle maker and a condiment manufacturer. A separate allocation provided approximately $319,000 to a meatpacking facility.
Subsequently, following President Donald J. Trump’s inauguration and an investigation by the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), USAID has seen over 1,600 staff dismissed from their jobs and its functions absorbed into the State Department—effectively ending the rogue agency.

President Donald J. Trump‘s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, announced at Tuesday’s press briefing that the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) will no longer determine what media outlets will comprise the White House press pool. In the past, the WHCA has held a monopoly on White House media access—though President Trump has moved swiftly to end that control by initially inviting independent and alternative media outlets—like podcasters—to attend press briefings and travel pools for senior officials and cabinet members.
“The President and this entire White House are committed to ensuring the American people continue to receive this same level of historic transparency, access, and visibility,” Leavitt stated at Tuesday’s White House press briefing before continuing: “As you all know, for decades, a group of D.C..-based journalists, the White House Correspondents’ Association, has long dictated which journalists get to ask questions of the President of the United States in these most intimate spaces. Not anymore.”
“I am proud to announce that we are going to give the power back to the people who read your papers, who watch television shows and listen to your radio stations. Moving forward, the White House press pool will be determined by the White House press team,” the White House press secretary said, adding: “Legacy outlets who have participated in the press pool for decades will still be allowed to join, fear not, but we will also be offering the privilege to well deserving outlets who have never been allowed to share in this awesome responsibility.”
The WHCA—which turned 111 years old on Tuesday—has long controlled which media outlets have access to the President of the United States and senior White House officials. This has led to an environment in which independent media has been frozen out of these traditional avenues of access in favor of corporate and legacy media organizations.
