Fox News: Trump supports proxy voting for new mothers in Congress: 'Don’t know why it’s controversial'
President Trump has expressed support for allowing new mothers in Congress to vote by proxy while caring for their newborns. This proposal, backed by 218 lawmakers, aims to permit proxy voting for 12 weeks post-birth, despite House Speaker Mike Johnson's historical opposition to such measures.
Johnson previously deemed proxy voting unconstitutional and criticized its use during the Pelosi era. However, after Trump's endorsement, discussions have emerged about limiting proxy voting specifically to new mothers unable to travel. The future of this proposal remains uncertain as the House prepares for the April Recess.
Fox News: Dad claims son was harassed by staff for wearing 'Let's Go Brandon' shirt, sues school district
A father has filed a lawsuit against a school district in Ohio, claiming his son was punished for wearing a "Let's Go Brandon" T-shirt, which he argues violates the student's First Amendment rights. The lawsuit details multiple incidents where the boy faced disciplinary action for wearing the shirt, including being sent to the principal's office and receiving detention.
The phrase "Let's Go Brandon" is a conservative slogan that serves as a substitute for explicit anti-Biden sentiments. The father contends that the school's dress code is unconstitutionally vague and selectively enforced, as other political expressions were allowed. The case highlights ongoing debates about free speech in schools.

Breitbart: Poll: Maine Voters Oppose Governor, Back Trump on Trans Athletes
A recent poll shows that 64% of Mainers oppose allowing transgender-identifying boys to compete in girls' sports, contrasting with the stance of Gov. Janet Mills and state Democrats. Only 29% support their participation, while political divisions reveal limited backing among Democrats and independents.
Following President Trump's executive order aimed at protecting female athletes, Maine officials have refused to comply, citing state law that supports transgender participation.

Breitbart: Nolte: Eric Trump Warns Countries Not to Be Last to Negotiate on Tariffs
Eric Trump cautioned nations against delaying trade negotiations, asserting that early negotiators will benefit. President Trump has enacted reciprocal tariffs to encourage countries to eliminate their own tariffs, aiming to revitalize the American economy and support the working class.
This strategy seeks to counter the negative effects of free trade on American manufacturing and employment. Critics of the tariffs are reminded that similar tax burdens would be accepted if not for political biases. The approach is positioned as a necessary reboot for the economy.

Harris believes that the tariffs will encourage other countries, like Canada, to reciprocate, further benefiting U.S. industries. He acknowledged the challenges ahead but remains optimistic about the long-term benefits for American workers and manufacturers.
