Scot Bertram | JB Pritzker likely to run for President in 2028 | Deeply insults Americans

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — Another piece of Donald Trump’s cabinet is in place. The Senate has confirmed Kash Patel as the next Director of the FBI.  The vote was 51-to-49.  Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins were the only Republicans who voted against Patel. 

 

Two ---- Unlawful crossings at the U.S. southern border are down 94% from the same period last year, Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks told CBS News. He credits the Trump administration's government-wide crackdown on illegal immigration.

Over the past seven days, Banks said, Border Patrol agents have apprehended an average of 285 migrants per day along the entire southern border, compared to roughly 4,800 during the same time last year.

 

 

And number three —   Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell will not seek reelection next year.  The Republican lawmaker made the announcement in a speech on the Senate floor on his 83rd birthday Thursday.  McConnell was first elected to the Senate in 1984.  McConnell broke the record for longest-serving Senate party leader before stepping down in November.

Scot Bertram | Kash Patel is in - Mitch McConnell is out

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — President Donald Trump is preparing to dissolve the leadership of the U.S. Postal Service and absorb the independent mail agency into his administration. That’s according to a Washington Post story. Trump is expected to issue an executive order as soon as this week to fire the members of the Postal Service’s governing board and place the agency under the control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick. However, a White House spokesperson said no such executive order is planned.

Two ---- Israel's military says one of the four bodies handed over by Hamas Thursday was not a hostage.   The bodies released included two children, ages four and nine months.  Another was supposed to be the children's mother, but forensic analysis confirmed it was not her.  The Israel Defense Forces say this is a very serious violation by Hamas.

And number three —   Amazon has beaten out Walmart in quarterly revenue for the first time ever.  The online retail giant reported nearly 188-billion-dollars in revenue during the fourth quarter.  Walmart reported Thursday 180-point-five-billion dollars in revenue for the same period.  Walmart is still leading Amazon when it comes to annual sales, although Amazon is gaining ground.

Scot Bertram | Pete Buttigieg speaks on the current Democratic approach

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — The Senate is adopting a budget resolution after pulling an all-nighter to get through all the amendments being tacked onto a GOP proposal.  The vote was 52-48 along party lines.  The so-called "vote-a-rama" began last night at the Capitol and lasted until the early morning hours.  Senate Democrats filed dozens of amendments in opposition to the budget plan. 

 

Two ---- There are no reports of injuries after three buses exploded near Tel Aviv.  Police are calling it a suspected terror attack.  Explosive devices on two other buses failed to detonate.  Combined with the return of an unidentified corpse instead of a promised Israeli hostage yesterday, the news threatens to tear apart a shaky ceasefire in the region.

 

And number three —   State lawmakers have approved a bill to reform paid sick time laws ahead of a midnight deadline.  The House bill blocks a 2018 ballot initiative from going into effect today that would have required companies with at least ten employees to give workers up to 72-hours of paid sick leave a year, and smaller companies would have had to provide at least 40 hours.  Small businesses will not be required to offer at least 40-hours of paid sick leave until October 1 now.  The bill joins Senate Bill 8 to preserve the tipped wage for servers and bartenders and both are expected to be signed by Governor Whitmer.
