#1Iran Ceasefire Deadline Falls Today — Vance in Overnight Talks

President Trump's 48-hour ultimatum to Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz expires tonight, with VP JD Vance conducting overnight negotiations through Pakistani intermediaries. Trump called Iran's latest proposal "significant but not good enough," and warned that Tuesday would be "power plant and bridge day" if no deal is reached. A proposed framework — dubbed the "Islamabad Accord" — calls for an immediate ceasefire followed by 15–20 days of broader negotiations.

#3Tariff Dividends Coming? Trump Promises $2K Checks as Revenues Climb

Following the Supreme Court's February ruling blocking IEEPA-based tariffs, Trump raised the global tariff rate to 15% and is now promising Americans dividend checks funded by tariff revenues — estimated to begin by mid-2026. The U.S. collected $215.2 billion in tariff duties in FY2025, with $40.4 billion already in FY2026. Trade czar Jamieson Greer insists the payments won't fuel inflation.
