Former President Trump's feud with the head of the United Auto Workers (UAW) union has reached a fever pitch since the union endorsed President Biden last week. The UAW backed Biden's bid for reelection at the union's conference in Washington, D.C., last Wednesday, after previously withholding its endorsement over concerns about the administration's push toward electric vehicles. |

The judge overseeing former President Trump's election interference case suspended his March 4 trial Friday, saying she will set a new trial date after an appeals court weighs whether the case should be tossed because of his claims of presidential immunity. The brief order from U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan makes official what she had already previewed — that she would need to push back the trial date to accommodate time lost to review Trump's appeal. |

Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis (D) acknowledged developing a "personal relationship" with the top prosecutor in former President Trump's Georgia criminal case in a new court filing Friday, but she said it was no reason for her to step aside. Trump co-defendant Michael Roman last month first accused Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade of having romantic ties, claiming it rendered the far-reaching Georgia election interference indictment "fatally defective." |

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley poked at former President Trump Friday over an apparent mix-up about the Indiana GOP primary ballot deadline. Her quip came after Trump criticized Haley on Truth Social for "still scrambling" to get her name to appear on the Hoosier State ballot. |

South Carolina is officially kicking off the Democrats' presidential nominating cycle with its primary Saturday, weeks after President Biden won as a write-in candidate in New Hampshire's unsanctioned contest last month. It's the first time the Palmetto State will be first in the party's official lineup, and the state is expected to be a crucial metric of Biden's reelection bid. South Carolina hosts its Republican primary three weeks later, as former President Trump and former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley battle to win Haley's home state. Here's what to know about South Carolina's primaries this month. |

South Carolina goes to the polls Saturday, offering the first official primary test for President Biden. The president has invested heavily in the state and comes off a win in New Hampshire's unsanctioned primary last month as a write-in candidate. Democratic strategists said the attention Biden has given to the state should pay off in a major victory against two long-shot opponents. |

The U.S. military began an initial round of airstrikes on Iranian-backed groups in Syria and Iraq in retaliation for an attack on a base in Jordan last weekend that killed three American troops. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said it began airstrikes around 4 p.m. ET in Iraq and Syria against Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force "and affiliated militia groups." |

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) criticized the Biden administration for what he called a slow response to the attack on a U.S. base in Jordan that killed three American service members, as Capitol Hill reacted Friday night to the first set of retaliatory U.S. strikes on Iranian-linked militia groups in the Middle East. "The tragic deaths of three U.S. troops in Jordan, perpetrated by Iran-backed militias, demanded a clear and forceful response," Johnson said in a statement. " Unfortunately, the administration waited for a week and telegraphed to the world, including to Iran, the nature of our response." |

The Supreme Court ruled the U.S. Military Academy at West Point may continue using race as a factor in admissions, leaving intact the slim remains of affirmative action in higher education. At the end of its last term, the high court in a landmark decision gutted race-conscious admissions policies at universities nationwide, except at military academies. |

| OPINION | I don't have hard evidence, but I keep thinking Donald Trump must be a mole, that he must be an undercover agent working for the other side. I don't mean Putin and the Kremlin. I mean Biden and the Democrats. This uneasy suspicion about our former president has become a reoccurring thing with me. In this space in 2022 I wrote about how Donald Trump was the best friend the Democrats ever had, no matter what nasty things they say about him in public. |
OPINION | The drone strike on an American facility in Jordan called Tower 22 that resulted in the deaths of three soldiers and the wounding of at least 34 others prompted President Joe Biden to blame Iran-backed militias for the attack. Indeed, the so-called Islamic Resistance in Iraq took credit for the attack. While Biden promised an American response "at a time and in a manner [of] our choosing" he did not specify the nature of that response. Admiral John Kirby, the National Security Counsel spokesperson, asserted that whatever that response might be, "we do not seek another war. We do not seek to escalate." He added that "we will respond … on our schedule in our own time." |

Stumping for the president ahead of South Carolina's Democratic primary, Ms. Harris has been working to shore up his vulnerabilities with Black voters and younger voters. |
Listen to firms on Wall Street these days, and you might think you're knocking down beers with a gaggle of crypto bros. Larry Fink, chief executive of BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, told CNBC last month that he was a big believer in bitcoin. A few days later, Howard Lutnick, the CEO of financial-services firm Cantor Fitzgerald, predicted that bitcoin would rally this year. He also praised Tether Holdings, the firm behind the widely used stablecoin tether. |

RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Hamas has begun deploying police forces and making partial salary payments to some of its civil servants in Gaza City in recent days, resurfacing in areas from which Israel had withdrawn the bulk of its troops a month ago, four residents and a senior official in the militant group said Saturday. |

Social media is full of complaints from airline passengers — dirty seats, barefoot neighbors, reclining chairs, waiting for hours on the tarmac. But sometimes, they take on a more nervous tone. |
