President Trump released a video statement early Saturday morning after the US and Israel conducted strikes on Iran.

“A short time ago, the United States military began major combat operations in Iran. Our objective is to defend the American people by eliminating imminent threats from the Iranian regime—a vicious group of very hard, terrible people—whose menacing activities directly endanger the United States, our troops, our bases overseas, and our allies throughout the world,” Trump said.

“Finally, to the great, proud people of Iran, I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand. Stay sheltered. Don’t leave your homes. It’s very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere,” Trump said.

Trump told the Iranian people to take over their government after the military operation concludes.

“When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take. This will probably be your only chance for generations. For many years, you have asked for America’s help—but you never got it. No president was willing to do what I am willing to do tonight,” Trump said.

Everyone’s waiting for SpaceX to go public.

That’s the mistake.

IPOs are liquidity events.
They’re not ground-floor opportunities.

By the time the bell rings:
• Early capital is already multiplied
• Institutions are already positioned
• Valuation has already expanded

This isn’t new.

Amazon. Google. Tesla.
Opening day buyers didn’t build generational wealth.

Early positioning did.

What if you could compress a lifetime of wealth-building…

Ten… twenty… even thirty years…

Into a single 24-hour window?

It sounds absurd.

But Elon Musk is about to make it a reality with something I’m calling…

“Day-One Retirement Plan.” Click here to see the details.

Washington state House Majority Leader Joe Fitzgibbon, a Democratic representative, has issued an apology after he was caught intoxicated during a critical hearing.

The Wednesday evening hearing turned into a PR nightmare for Fitzgibbon, when he was participating in an executive session on House Bill 2289, according to The Center Square.

The entire affair was, in simple terms, a disaster.

Fitzgibbon was so clearly out of it that the committee chair called a recess in the middle of the session to remove him from the room.

The 39-year-old lawmaker would return just moments later.

You can watch a video of the concerning behavior from Fitzgibbon below:

“I am grateful to all the members of this committee, all the members of the House for putting forward their ideas and making sure that the operating budget that we’ve put forward does not forget that the people we are working to represent, people that we are working to lift up and support don’t always have a voice in this process, and their voice is carried forward by the members of this body,” said Fitzgibbon, whose hair The Center Square described as “disheveled.”

“He appeared glassy eyed, with speech slurred as he urged support for the legislation,” the outlet added.

Perhaps realizing how bad a look this was, Fitzgibbon issued a groveling statement apologizing for his behavior, according to KOMO-TV.

“I deeply regret and apologize for the fact that I consumed alcohol before the work of the Appropriations Committee was completed on Wednesday, and the result was obvious,” Fitzgibbon said. “This was a serious mistake for many reasons. Being impaired in that situation was harmful to my work and to my co-workers.”

He added: “This was a painful and embarrassing lesson, one I won’t forget, and I will not put myself and others in this situation again in the future.

“Again, I apologize.”

Despite the “painful and embarrassing lesson” and the apology, Fitzgibbon was promptly lambasted by his fellow Washington lawmakers for the boozy incident.

Speaking to The Center Square, local GOP Rep. Michelle Valdez condemned Fitzgibbon’s drinking — while adding quite a shot at the Democrats.

“The sad part is you have to understand: He is responsible for our state and for Washington Democrats and also for our state budget,” Valdez told The Center Square. “He has so much power, and it is so disenfranchising to know that he’s drunk on the job.”

She then added the zinger: “To be honest, if I was in charge of our state budget and destroying the state, I’d probably drink, too.”

When President Donald Trump gets termed out of the White House in 2028, many expect the president to remain active in GOP politics.

While Trump obviously can’t run for a third term, it is widely expected that he will be something akin to a “kingmaker” within Republican circles for the foreseeable future.

But that doesn’t mean Trump can’t already begin wielding that influence.

Trump took to Truth Social on Friday and blasted out a flurry of different endorsements for various Republican candidates vying in various House races ahead of the 2026 midterms.

One of the biggest names Trump endorsed was former Texas Rangers and New York Yankees standout Mark Teixeira.

“Mark Teixeira is a former Major League Baseball STAR, and tremendous America First Candidate, who is running to represent the incredible people of Texas’ 21st Congressional District!” Trump posted.

“I know Mark well, and he is a TOTAL WINNER, on and off the field! An MLB All-Star, Mark’s career was “loaded up” with Accolades and WINS, including five Gold Gloves, three Silver Sluggers, and a World Series Championship.”

He added: “Mark Teixeira has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Representative from Texas’ 21st Congressional District – HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”

But it wasn’t just House races. Trump also took some time to endorse the incumbent leadership in the Lone Star State.

Trump used Truth Social to offer his endorsement of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.

“Greg Abbott has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election. He is an exceptional Governor and man — HE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” Trump wrote.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Trump also posted about his endorsement of incumbent Texas Lieutenant Gov. Dan Patrick.

“As Texas Chair of our Presidential Campaigns in 2016, 2020, and 2024, Dan has been an incredible friend to our Movement, helping us WIN BIG in the Primaries and General Elections,” Trump posted.

“In his next Term, Dan will fight tirelessly alongside of us to Secure the Border, Stop Migrant Crime, Grow the Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Champion School Choice, Support our Great Military/Vets, Restore American Energy DOMINANCE, and Strongly Protect our always under siege Second Amendment.”

In total, there were over a dozen Texas-related endorsements pumped out by Trump on Friday.

One noticeable omission from these endorsements, however, was the Texas Senate race.

As KTBC-TV reported, Trump has “consistently” declined to offer an endorsement in what’s turning out to be a heated race pitting incumbent Sen. John Cornyn against two GOP challengers Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt.

“Rep. Dan Crenshaw is the only incumbent House Republican that did not get an endorsement from the president Friday,” the news outlet added.

Trump’s endorsements came on the final day of early voting for the March 3 primaries.
