The U.S. economy added 151,000 new jobs in February.
That's the most robust jobs report since federal data revealed a rebound in employment growth. President Trump touted the jobs gains while speaking to reporters in the Oval Office today.
Trump also issued a stern warning to Russia. He threatened new sanctions if the nation continues its bombardment of Ukraine.
Trump said he believes a ceasefire and peace between Russia and Ukraine is still within reach.

Meanwhile, President Zelensky said he will travel to Saudi Arabia next week to meet with U.S. officials for continued peace negotiations.

The State Department has revoked the visa of a Hamas-supporting foreign student on a U.S. campus, the first such action under President Trump's pledge to curb pro-Hamas protests.

The student faces deportation, but his or her name and school will remain undisclosed due to legal limits. This comes after President Trump promised to defund colleges allowing illegal protests.
FEMA has terminated three supervisors after an internal investigation prompted by reporting by The Daily Wire. Daily Wire deputy managing editor Tim Rice has has the story.
Three additional supervisors at FEMA have been fired for failing to stop disaster relief workers from bypassing Trump-supporting homes devastated by Hurricane Milton in Florida. In a letter, Acting FEMA Administrator Cameron Hamilton said that supervisors did not meet conduct standards, calling the incident reprehensible and announcing mandatory staff retraining to ensure impartial aid efforts.
The probe was sparked when the Daily Wire was notified by a whistleblower that there was widespread bias against families whose homes displayed support for Trump or MAGA, and that supervisors told FEMA field agents to avoid those homes. Therefore, those families were not offered any disaster relief.
A former top aide to Kamala Harris is now under criminal investigation, accused of forging paperwork to take advantage of Elon Musk's fork in the road buyout offer. Daily Wire investigative reporter Luke Rosiak, who first broke the story, has more.
The criminal investigation is likely to explore whether high-level officials, potentially including Harris herself, as well as Lena Kahn, Joe Biden's chair of the Federal Trade Commission, conspired to embed the vice president's deputy domestic policy advisor, Nathaniel Siegel, into a civil service job just before Trump's inauguration. He was placed on the payroll on direct orders of Kahn, despite the fact that he was missing essential paperwork, three Trump administration officials told The Daily Wire.
In mid-February, Siegel doctored a document to try to secure the deferred resignation program buyout despite not being eligible and its deadline having passed, the officials said. The buyout program gives eligible career employees benefits worth as much as $200,000 in exchange for leaving the government.

Reply stop to opt out. Governor Ron DeSantis is calling for the end of mRNA vaccine mandates in Florida.
Daily Wire investigative reporter Moreta Lordi has the story. DeSantis is urging the CDC to stop recommending COVID-19 vaccines for children and calling for a permanent ban on mRNA vaccine mandates in his state.

Listeners may remember the three men who were found dead outside a friend's home after watching a Kansas City Chiefs game. Now, prosecutors are bringing charges against two of their friends.
Both face involuntary manslaughter and drug charges. Prosecutors say the men died of fentanyl and cocaine toxicity.
Bags of drugs were found at the home where they died. A Platt County prosecuting attorney announced the charges Wednesday, noting the case's complexity delayed the investigation.
The Obama State Department interfered with the FBI and other law enforcement that wanted to take action against Iranian targets. Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has the story.
Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Chuck Grassley, released a report this week that shows the Obama administration worked to protect Iranian officials from U.S. law enforcement.
The interference took place while then-President Obama negotiated the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, known as the Iran Nuclear Deal. Grassley accused the Obama administration of jeopardizing U.S.
national security. The report says the interference only stopped when Trump entered the White House in 2017.
Grassley said, quote, Democrats' historic refusal to get tough on Iran emboldened its regime and allowed Tehran to continue funding global acts of terrorism, like what we saw on October 7th, 2023. Grassley added that we should all be breathing a sigh of relief.
President Trump is back in the White House to restore American strength on the world stage and hold Iran accountable for its evil acts. And the Broadway hit Hamilton will not play at the Kennedy Center.
Daily Wire culture reporter Megan Basham tells us why. Producer Jeffrey Seller announced this week that he and his team are canceling planned shows, saying that President Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center's leadership and his push for an anti-woke overhaul was the cause.
Hamilton was set to run from March 3rd to April 26th next year, but in a statement, a seller said, our show simply cannot, in good conscience, participate and be a part of this new culture that is being imposed on the Kennedy Center. Trump is now chair of the Kennedy Center, and interim president Richard Grinnell called Hamilton's cancellation a publicity stunt that will backfire.
