Good morning. It’s Tuesday, March 4.

 

President Trump addresses a joint session of Congress Tuesday.

In Trump’s first six weeks he has started a federal government overhaul, driven by DOGE, dismantled USAID and moved to shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

Trump has also had a slew of executive orders, some of which have rolled back former President Biden’s actions.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced Tuesday that his office has launched a criminal investigation into Andrew and Tristan Tate, who face human trafficking charges in Romania, just days after their return to the U.S.

Uthmeier stated on social media that he has directed his office to collaborate with law enforcement on a preliminary inquiry into the Tate brothers.

“After a thorough review of the evidence, I’ve instructed the Office of Statewide Prosecution to execute search warrants and issue subpoenas in the now-active criminal investigation into the Tate brothers,” Uthmeier said.

CK Hutchison Holdings Ltd., the Hong Kong-based conglomerate, agreed to sell control of a unit that operates ports near the Panama Canal after pressure from US President Donald Trump to limit Chinese interests in the region.

A consortium including BlackRock Inc., Global Infrastructure Partners, and Terminal Investment Ltd. reached a deal in principle to acquire units that hold 80% of the Hutchison Ports group, which operates 43 ports in 23 countries.

The consortium will also acquire 90% of Panama Ports Co., which operates the two ports in Balboa and Cristobal.

On Tuesday, Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro launched a campaign urging President Donald Trump to pardon former police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of killing George Floyd in 2021.

Following a discussion about presidential pardons on his eponymous podcast, Shapiro explained why Trump should pardon Chauvin of his federal charges.

“The evidence demonstrates that Derek Chauvin did not, in fact, commit the murder of George Floyd,” Shapiro said. “George Floyd was high on fentanyl; he had a significant pre-existing heart condition. George Floyd was saying he could not breathe before he was even out of the car. He was in the car saying he could not breathe.”

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, just hours after President Donald Trump paused U.S. aid to his war-torn country, posted what could be considered a conciliatory message and an attempt to get back into Trump’s good graces after last week’s blowup in the Oval Office.

“Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be,” Zelenskyy posted in a lengthy statement to X. “It is regrettable that it happened this way.

“It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive.”

The Trump administration on Tuesday identified 443 federal properties that will possibly be put up for sale, including the headquarters of the FBI and Labor and Justice departments, as the president continues to downsize the federal government.

The General Services Administration posted the “non-core” properties, which are located in 47 states, as well as Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, totaling some 80 million square feet, Bloomberg reported.

“We are identifying buildings and facilities that are not core to government operations, or non-core properties for disposal,” the GSA states on its website.

Conservatives on social media slammed Senate Democrats for posting videos with identical scripts ahead of President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress Tuesday night.

Mashups of the identical videos, which included Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., leading the “Sh– That Ain’t True” social media campaign, have gone viral on social media. Many conservatives on social media, including Elon Musk, are asking, “Who is writing the words that the puppets speak? That’s the real question.”

Senators Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., led the charge with their matching social media videos this morning. About two dozen Senate Democrats have since followed with their own identical posts.

At least three lawmakers were injured on Tuesday, one of them seriously, after chaotic scenes in Serbia’s parliament, during which smoke bombs and flares were thrown, further fueling political tensions in the Balkan country.

Lawmakers were scheduled to vote on a law that would increase funding for university education, but opposition parties said the ruling majority was also planning to approve dozens of other decisions. They said this was illegal and that lawmakers should first confirm the resignation of Prime Minister Milos Vucevic and his government.

Chaos erupted about an hour after the parliamentary session started, with opposition lawmakers blowing whistles and holding up a banner reading “Serbia has risen so the regime would fall!” Hundreds of opposition supporters rallied outside the parliament building during the session.
