NEW: A fundraising email from President Donald Trump’s political action committee has a provocative pitch: using an image from Saturday’s dignified transfer honoring six fallen US soldiers, it promises access to the president’s “private national security briefings.” cnn.com/2026/03/13/pol…
"We're not at war, we have no intention at being at war. The president and the DOD have made it very clear, this is a limited operation." - Mike Johnson says there’s no need to constrain Trump’s war powers since the U.S. isn’t actually at war. (2026)
Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility: “I guess,” he says “Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.” time.com/7382697/trump-…
Apparently @jamestalarico won with a huge turnout from young adults. Want to know why? Here is my guess: On social media, the algorithms give you more of what you consume. Talarico’s messages are positive. To the point of being “syrupy”. Voters that committed to watching his social posts, got more of not only his posts, but also other positive messages. Contrast that with historically negative messaging across past elections, and I think the contrast was striking and motivational for many. Enough to draw record numbers to a primary. It may be crazy to some, but the idea of “my feed and FYP got better the more I watched his videos” is enough to get voters excited to support and vote for him. Call it “PositivityMaxxing” 😂. But I truly believe that candidates that can give positive messages, authentically and confidently , can be part of a new successful trend. Regardless of party or office. Thoughts ?
