Former President Trump is gearing up to hold his first rally of the 2024 presidential cycle on Saturday as he grapples with a potential indictment. Trump will travel to friendly territory in Waco, Texas, for the campaign event, which is set to be in stark contrast to his campaign's more low-key events so far this cycle. |

Under increasing pressure from state and federal investigators, former President Trump escalated his violent rhetoric this week, heightening tensions as prosecutors weigh whether to bring criminal charges and sparking sharp criticism from Democrats, who are warning of another Jan. 6. |

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and a pair of Democratic lawmakers offered a tale-of-two-jails on Friday after a group visited the Washington, D.C. jail, where pre-trial Jan. 6 defendants are being held. Greene led the trip to the D.C. jail and was joined by other members of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee from both parties. |

House Democrats said their visit as part of a GOP-led trip to the Washington, D.C. jail where rioters from the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection are being held showed they had no remorse for their actions. The comments came after the trip, which was organized by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), following criticism from some Republicans about the conditions in the jail and about the defendants being held without bail. |

The Parents Bill of Rights was passed in the House on Friday in an educational policy win for Republicans that has gained steam at the state level. The legislation was introduced by Rep. Julia Letlow (R-La.) and approved in a largely party-line vote, as Republicans argue parents deserve more transparency from their schools and more of a say in what their children are taught. |

Five House Republicans broke from the GOP and voted against the Parents Bill of Rights on Friday, an education-focused measure the conference brought up to emphasize parental rights in the classroom. The House approved the measure in a 213-208 vote, with all voting Democrats opposing the legislation. |

The Chicago mayoral race is emerging as a key test for Democrats on how they handle the hot-button issues of crime and public safety. Two starkly different candidates in the Windy City's April 4 runoff have offered contrasting approaches over an issue that has been blamed for costing the party control of the House last year in New York. |

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said he is "more of an executive guy" in response to a question about whether he would join a ticket as former President Trump's running mate if Trump wins the 2024 GOP presidential nomination. DeSantis said that he wanted to be the governor of Florida, because it allowed him to be the one taking action on issues. |

On March 8, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank were both, according to public disclosures, "well capitalized," the optimal level of health by federal regulatory standards. Days later, both failed. |
WASHINGTON — The Navy admiral had a blunt message for the military contractors building precision-guided missiles for his warships, submarines and planes at a moment when the United States is dispatching arms to Ukraine and preparing for the possibility of conflict with China. |
It started out as strictly business: a huge private contract for one of the world's most advanced undersea fiber-optic cables.
