Recognizing the narrow margin the party currently holds, Trump said he didn’t want to risk losing a seat in Congress. “We have a few elections going on,” he noted, just days after Stefanik expressed enthusiasm about her UN appointment on Fox News.

The Trump administration is reportedly weighing the possibility of letting the 2017 tax cuts lapse for the wealthiest Americans as a potential way to finance former President Donald Trump’s campaign promise to eliminate taxes on tips, according to a report from Axios.
As outlined in the report, the proposal would raise the top income tax rate from its current level of 37% back to the 39.6% rate that existed before 2018. Additionally, it would reduce the income threshold for that rate, which currently starts at $609,351 for single filers and $731,201 for married couples.
Trump initially announced his plan to end federal taxes on gratuities at a Las Vegas campaign rally in June of last year.

Israel’s Foreign Ministry issued a sharp rebuke of Turkey yesterday following Ankara’s condemnation of Israeli military operations targeting Hezbollah positions in Lebanon.
“We condemn Israel’s airstrikes against Lebanon in violation of the ceasefire agreement. We stand firmly by the people of Lebanon,” stated the Turkish Foreign Ministry.
“These attacks have once again exposed Israel’s flagrant disregard for international law and its ongoing threat to the region’s security and stability. The international community must stand united against Israel’s efforts to create a perpetual state of conflict in the region,” the statement continued.

During these busy days of erev Pesach, a rare and deeply moving event took place in the Torah world. For the first time ever, a splendid and kosher l’mehadrin matzah bakery was set up right inside the holy study room of Maran the Mashgiach, the Gaon and Tzaddik Rav Don Segal shlit”a, in Yerushalayim. This was done for the sake of baking matzos for the generous supporters of Yeshivas “Ateres Shlomo,” under the leadership of the Rosh Yeshiva, HaGaon Rav Shalom Ber Sorotzkin shlit”a.

Millions of Israelis in central Israel and the Jerusaelm area ran to bomb shelters on Sunday morning after the Houthis fired a ballistic missile at Israel, including in the cities of Tel Aviv, Beit Shemesh, Bnei Brak, Modiin Illit, Beitar Illit, Elad, Ramat Gan, Givat Shmuel, Hetziliya, Rishon L’Tzion, Rechovot, Holon and Be’er Yaakov. The IDF spokesperson later stated that the missile was intercepted outside Israel. A woman in her 30s was moderately injured when she stumbled and fell into a ditch on Route 1 from a height of about three meters after fleeing her car to take shelter on the side of the highway during the siren. Paramedics treated her at the scene and evacuated her to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.

The Hamas terror group murdered one of the leaders of the anti-Hamas protests that took place in Gaza last week. Over the weekend, Hamas terrorists abducted Odai Naser Saadi, 22, tortured him for four hours and executed him. They then dumped his body at the doorstep of his family’s home with a message: “This is the price for those who criticize Hamas.” There are also reports that Hamas has been carrying out a scare campaign, threatening anyone who participates in the protests and even those who published the videos abroad. The campaign appears to have been successful as the protests came to a halt after three consecutive days. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)

As losses mount in lower federal courts, President Donald Trump has returned to a tactic that he employed at the Supreme Court with remarkable success in his first term. Three times in the past week, and six since Trump took office a little more than two months ago, the Justice Department has asked the conservative-majority high court to step into cases much earlier than usual. The administration’s use of the emergency appeals, or shadow docket, comes as it faces more than 130 lawsuits over the Republican president’s flurry of executive orders. Many of the lawsuits have been filed in liberal-leaning parts of the country as the court system becomes ground zero for pushback to his policies.

The country’s death toll from the disaster soared to 1,644. The figure was a sharp rise compared to the 1,002 announced just hours earlier, highlighting the difficulty of confirming casualties over a widespread region and the likelihood that the numbers will continue to grow from Friday’s 7.7 magnitude quake. The number of injured increased to 3,408, while the missing figure rose to 139. The number of dead also rises in Thailand In neighboring Thailand, the death toll increased to 10.
