Former Rep Lincoln Diaz-Balart, brother of sitting congressman, dead at 70
Former Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., has died at the age of 70, his brother and current House member Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., announced. “Defender of the silenced and oppressed, author of the democracy requirement for the lifting of U.S. sanctions against the Cuban dictatorship, and the author of the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA). Lincoln’s legacy of achievements will endure for generations, and continues the work of the Congressional Hispalic Leadership Institute (CHLI) which he co-founded in 2003,” Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart said in a statement about his brother. Lincoln Diaz-Balart served Floridians as a member of the Republican Party. The Cuban refugee first got into politics by “leading the Florida Young Democrats and running an unsuccessful campaign for the Florida legislature as a Democrat in 1982,” his congressional biography states. He formally switched his party allegiance in 1985 and was elected to the Florida legislature in 1986. Then, he “sponsored laws strengthening sentences for crimes against law enforcement officers, increasing penalties for drug-related money laundering, providing low-interest loans for home construction, creating a statewide program to combat substance abuse, and establishing disclosure rules for Florida companies doing business with Cuba,” according to the biography. WHITE HOUSE WILL NOT RELEASE VISITOR LOGS DURING TRUMP’S SECOND TERM He was sworn into Congress in January 1993 and served until his retirement in 2010. That same year, his brother Mario won the election to succeed him in the 21st Congressional District. Diaz-Balart leaves behind his wife of 48 years, Cristina; his son Daniel; two grandsons and three brothers. He was preceded in death by his first son, Lincoln Gabriel. RUBIO SIGNS DECLARATION TO EXPEDITE $4B IN ARMS TO ISRAEL ‘WRONGLY WITHHELD’ BY BIDEN “Lincoln’s profound love for the United States, and his relentless commitment to the cause of a free Cuba, guided him throughout his life and his 24 years in elected public service, including 18 years in the U.S. House of Representatives,” Mario’s announcement said. “We will miss him infinitely.”
Dems hit Medicaid, Elon Musk fears in expensive campaign targeting 23 House Republicans
FIRST ON FOX: A group closely tied to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is spending millions of dollars on a new ad campaign against 23 lawmakers, accusing Republicans of trying to take away healthcare from senior citizens and children. The ads, which begin running on Monday, accuse Republicans of “threatening healthcare for 37 million kids and kicking seniors out of nursing homes just to make billionaires like Elon Musk even richer.” Fox News Digital got a first look at a list of 23 Republican lawmakers being targeted by House Majority PAC (HMP), a fundraising operation aligned with Democratic leadership. The majority of them won close races across California, Pennsylvania, Arizona and other states that were critical to clinching the House GOP’s razor-thin majority in the 119th Congress. RUSSIA REVELS IN OVAL OFFICE SPECTACLE AFTER ZELENSKYY SPARS WITH TRUMP, VANCE Mike Smith, president of HMP’s action arm House Majority Forward, linked the ads to House Republicans’ vote last week to advance President Donald Trump’s agenda via the budget reconciliation process. “Last week, Republicans betrayed the American people – breaking their promise and paving the way to strip millions of men, women, and children of their health insurance,” Smith said. “We will make sure every American knows exactly who is responsible.” It’s part of Democrats’ continued pushback against the proposed $880 billion in cuts Republicans are seeking to programs under the jurisdiction of the House Energy & Commerce Committee. Republicans are looking for at least $1.5 trillion in cuts to government spending to offset the cost of Trump’s priorities expected to be included in the bill, including eliminating taxes on tipped and overtime wages as well as more funding for U.S.-Mexico border operations. GOP lawmakers have consistently pointed out that Medicaid and other federal aid programs are not mentioned in the text of their framework for that legislation. WHITE HOUSE BACKS ISRAEL’S DECISION TO HALT GAZA AID SHIPMENTS UNTIL HAMAS ACCEPTS CEASEFIRE EXTENSION Republicans have argued they are only looking to root out waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government. Trump, for his part, told reporters last week that he would not touch Medicaid. Mike Marinella, spokesman for House Republicans’ campaign arm, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), told Fox News Digital in response to HMP, “Democrats are running the same playbook of resorting to shameless fearmongering and outright lies because they’re trying to hide the fact that they just voted to raise taxes on hardworking Americans. This is a disgusting, pathetic attempt to distract voters from their failures, and they know it.” But Democrats and some moderate Republicans are skeptical that the savings can be found without cutting deeply into those programs. Democrats also appear to have found a potential new boogeyman in Musk ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, as he and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) work to find at least $1 trillion in cuts to the federal bureaucracy. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP HMP’s ad strategy was first reported by Punchbowl News last week. The NRCC pointed Fox News Digital to a memo sent by them last week that accused Democrats of weaponizing the Trump budget bill vote. “They have turned their backs on the working class and have taken a wrecking ball to America’s fiscal future. This vote is an anvil around the ankles of vulnerable House Democrats, and the NRCC plans to weaponize it to ensure they lose their races in 2026,” the memo said.
New polls reveal where Trump stands on eve of his first major address to Congress
President Donald Trump, the consummate showman, is shining a spotlight on his primetime address Tuesday to a joint session of Congress. “TOMORROW NIGHT WILL BE BIG. I WILL TELL IT LIKE IT IS!,” the president touted in a social media post on Monday ahead of his first major speech to Congress during his second presidential administration. As Trump prepares for his address, he’s in a stronger polling position than where he found himself eight years ago when he first entered the White House. A national survey released Monday by Marist College for PBS News and NPR indicated Trump at 45% approval and 49% disapproval. And a survey from CNN released on Sunday put the president’s approval rating at 48%, with 52% disapproving. Both surveys were conducted last week. TUNE IN: LIVE COVERAGE OF TRUMP’S ADDRESS TO CONGRESS TUESDAY NIGHT ON FOX NEWS But Trump’s approval ratings are slightly above water in other new polls, including one for CBS News that was also conducted in recent days and released over the weekend. Trump has kept up a frenetic pace during his opening six weeks back in the White House with an avalanche of executive orders and actions. His moves not only fulfilled some of his major campaign trail promises, but also allowed the returning president to flex his executive muscles, quickly put his stamp on the federal government, make major cuts to the federal workforce, and also settle some long-standing grievances. TRUMP’S UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL OF EXECUTIVE ACTION Trump as of Monday had signed 81 executive orders since his Jan. 20 inauguration, according to a count from Fox News, which far surpasses the rate of any recent presidential predecessors during their first weeks in office. “Best Opening Month of any President in history,” Trump wrote in a social media post last week, as he touted his accomplishments. Expect Trump in his address to Congress and the nation to showcase the moves – many of them controversial – that he’s taken so far. That includes a high-profile crackdown on immigration, threatening tariffs on major trading partners, including Canada and Mexico, and upending the nation’s international agenda and freezing foreign aid. TOP WILDEST MOMENTS FROM PRESIDENTIAL SPEECHES TO CONGRESS “We’re seeing a president who is certainly back in the realm of major controversy just over a month since he took the oath of office. And it’s been a flooding-of-the-zone here every day, often multiple times a day,” Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, told Fox News Digital. Miringoff noted, “We’re just seeing a lot of things happening with little time for the public to digest. The net effect of it all is there’s a sense, on the part of the public, that some things are moving just a little too fast.” An average of all the most recent national polls indicates the president’s approval ratings are just above water. But Trump’s seen his numbers edge down slightly since returning to the White House in late January, when an average of his polls indicated the president’s approval rating in the low 50s and his disapproval in the mid 40s. “The honeymoon is over, and he’s actually governing, and that typically does bring numbers down,” veteran political scientist Wayne Lesperance, the president of New Hampshire-based New England College, told Fox News Digital. “I expect the numbers to continue to slip as the changes in Washington really do begin to impact people’s everyday lives.” It’s no surprise that the polls indicate a massive partisan divide over Trump’s performance. In the CNN survey, 90% of Republicans gave Trump a thumbs up, while nine out of 10 Democrats disapproved of the job he’s been doing. Independents by a 59%-41% margin disapproved. HEAD HERE FOR THE LATEST FOX NEWS POLLING While Trump’s approval ratings for his second term are an improvement from his first term – he started in 2017 in negative territory and remained underwater throughout his tenure in the White House – his numbers are below where former President Joe Biden began his single term in office. Biden’s approval rating hovered in the low to mid 50s during his first six months in the White House, with his disapproval in the upper 30s to low to mid 40s. However, Biden’s numbers sank into negative territory in the late summer and autumn of 2021, in the wake of his much-criticized handling of the turbulent U.S. exit from Afghanistan and amid soaring inflation and a surge of migrants crossing into the U.S. along the nation’s southern border with Mexico. Biden’s approval ratings stayed underwater throughout the rest of his presidency.
Trans airmen, Space Force personnel have until March 26 to resign under Trump order: Memo
The Pentagon is urging transgender military personnel in the Air Force and Space Force to “separate voluntarily” by the end of the month, saying that individuals with gender dysphoria are “incompatible with the high mental and physical standards necessary for military service.” Troops have until March 26 to resign, according to a memorandum filed Sunday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia as part of Talbott v. Trump – one of the first lawsuits filed against President Donald Trump’s executive order barring transgender troops from the military – by GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD Law) and the National Center for Lesbian Rights. “Service members eligible for voluntary separation pay will be paid at a rate that is twice the amount for which the service member would have been eligible under involuntary separation pay,” the memo, signed by Acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs Gwendolyn R. DeFilippi on March 1, states. PENTAGON SAYS TRANSGENDER TROOPS ARE DISQUALIFIED FROM SERVICE WITHOUT AN EXEMPTION Cross-sex hormone treatments will continue for service members who have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria that began prior to a separate memo issued last week until the “separation is complete” by direction of a Department of Defense medical provider “in order to prevent further complications.” However, transgender service members are required to adhere to conduct matching their biological sex, “effective immediately,” including in showers, bathrooms and living quarters, until their withdrawal is completed. Physical dress and fitness standards must also match service members’ biological sex, the memorandum states. Last week’s internal Pentagon memo states that service members who are transgender or otherwise exhibit gender dysphoria are prohibited from military service unless they obtain an exemption. IOWA GOVERNOR SIGNS BILL REMOVING TRANSGENDER PROTECTIONS FROM CIVIL RIGHTS CODE “The Air Force memo is consistent with this purge of highly accomplished, dedicated transgender service members,” attorney Jennifer Levi of Glad Law told Fox News Digital in a statement Monday. “It is shameful. The memo also demonstrates the chaos and havoc being wreaked by this administration in ways that undermine our national security.” The Trump administration’s transgender military ban is currently facing legal challenges, and the Justice Department filed a complaint against the presiding judge, Ana Reyes, accusing her of potential bias and misconduct. There are currently a handful of lawsuits specifically challenging Trump’s gender-related executive orders.

New House report exposes how controversial ‘amnesty’ program exploded under Biden
FIRST ON FOX: The number of immigrants protected from deportation by a controversial Clinton-era immigration program nearly quadrupled under the Biden administration, according to a new House report obtained by Fox News Digital. The House Judiciary Committee report looks at the use of Temporary Protected Status under the previous administration. The program was implemented in the 1990s and grants protection from deportation and allows work permits for nationals living in the U.S. from countries deemed unsafe for them to be returned, due to armed conflict or natural disasters. The first Trump administration moved to limit the number of migrants protected by the program, but it then expanded massively under the Biden administration, with more than 1.4 million aliens from 16 different countries granted TPS as of January. TRUMP ADMIN TURNS TABLES ON POLICY ‘EXPLOITED BY BIDEN DHS TO SHIELD MORE HAITIANS FROM DEPORTATIONS The report found that the Biden-Harris administration added one million aliens in four years, after just 410,000 benefiting from TPS at the end of the first Trump administration, “What was intended by Congress to be a temporary status has become, over time, a permanent, automatically renewed designation, with some countries being designated for TPS for decades despite changed country conditions,” the report says. “The Biden-Harris Administration vastly expanded this de facto amnesty to hundreds of thousands of new aliens, many of whom are in the country illegally.” The report found that roughly 725,000 of those with TPS initially entered during the Biden administration, with the majority from Haiti and Venezuela. There were no Venezuelan TPS beneficiaries during the BIden administration as it was not designated, with designations coming in 2021 and 2023. As of January 2025, there were 614,044 Venezuelan TPS beneficiaries — nearly half of the total. The report also found that 95% of Venezuelans protected were not admitted with a visa, and so either entered illegally or via humanitarian parole. TRUMP ADMIN ENDS DEPORTATION PROTECTIONS FOR MASSIVE NUMBER OF VENEZUELANS AMID ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN Meanwhile, for Haiti, TPS beneficiaries jumped from 55,000 in Jan. 2021 to 342,260 in Jan. 2025, with 91% having entered without a visa. The report does not solely criticize the Biden administration and says that prior administrations have “abused [TPS] for decades.” But it says with the expansion of TPS came a great deal of fraud “potentially in [the Biden administration’s] rush to prevent the Trump Administration from being able to remove vast swaths of illegal aliens.” It says it found multiple instances of aliens brought in claiming one nationality for parole and another for a grant of TPS, including 99 Afghans who later were granted TPS as nationals of Haiti. Since the Trump administration took office, there have already been dramatic changes in policy on TPS. The administration last month vacacted a decision by the Biden administration to extend TPS for Haitians. “President Trump and I are returning TPS to its original status: temporary,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement. CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGE That move came after an earlier move that revoked the TPS status of more than 300,000 Venezuelan nationals. But the Judiciary Committee report says that more needs to be done, calling the moves by Noem a “critical first step” in restoring integrity to the program. “However, far more work is needed to root out fraud, end TPS designations that violate the statute and thus are no longer in the interest of the American people, and institute appropriate reforms to ensure such abuse can never again be inflicted on the country by a future open-borders Administration,” it says, adding that Congress has a “critical role” to play in such reforms.
Trump should ‘stew in his own juice’ during congressional address, Pelosi advises Dems
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi gave some advice to Democrats ahead of President Donald Trump’s Tuesday address to both chambers of Congress: “Let him stew in his own juice.” “Any demonstration of disagreement, whether it’s visual or whatever, just let him stew in his own juice,” Pelosi told the Washington Post in a Thursday interview. “Don’t be any grist for the mill to say this was inappropriate.” Trump is set to deliver an address before both chambers of Congress at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Tuesday – his first speech before Congress since his return to the Oval Office in January. The speech, though similar to the State of the Union, does not carry the same official title as Trump has not been in office for the past year. Trump’s speech is expected to champion his “Make America Great Again” policies and further preview his administration’s priorities. The 45th and 47th president previewed on Monday morning in a Truth Social that, “TOMORROW NIGHT WILL BE BIG. I WILL TELL IT LIKE IT IS!” TUNE IN: LIVE COVERAGE OF TRUMP’S ADDRESS TO CONGRESS TUESDAY NIGHT ON FOX NEWS PELOSI TEARS UP TRUMP’S SPEECH IN STUNNING STATE OF THE UNION SCENE Pelosi came under fire from conservatives during Trump’s 2020 State of the Union address, when she ripped up a copy of his speech while standing behind the president on the House dais. Pelosi reflected on tearing up the speech in 2020 during her interview with the Washington Post, explaining she made little tears on each page when she disagreed with a comment from Trump. HERE’S WHO BIDEN BLAMES FOR HIS 2024 ELECTION LOSS, TRUMP DIVULGES AFTER PRIVATE CONVO “Then, when I saw that every page was a lie, I had to tear it up,” Pelosi said, adding that “Parchment is very hard to tear.” Pelosi continued in her advice to Democrats, that only those in safe districts should make big political splashes about fighting Trump’s policies, instead of a cacophony of Democrats vowing to take on Trump and the GOP. “The most important thing in all of this is to prioritize. And (House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries), he has that down. I have every confidence that he has that down,” Pelosi said. “Again, members will say I want this, I want that. Yeah, that’s interesting, talk about that at home.” She said Democrats should hold back any outbursts during the speech, maintaining that it was appropriate in 2020 to rip up a copy of Trump’s speech because she was provided an opportune “moment” in the spotlight to protest the president’s policies. TOP WILDEST MOMENTS FROM PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESSES TO ENTIRE CONGRESS, FROM REAGAN TO BIDEN “Unless you have something that is a moment,” she told the Washington Post. “That’s what a moment was, when I tore up the speech.” Pelosi argued that Democrats should not focus on Trump’s next four years in office, but instead on rallying support for Democrats during the 2026 midterm cycle. “It’s not four years, it’s not even two years. It’s between March and September. Where are the numbers?” “This fall is everything. And we only need three seats,” she said. “I don’t want three seats, I want many more than that.” Fox News Digital reached out to Pelosi’s office on Monday morning for additional comment, but did not immediately receive a reply.
Trump admin promises to be ‘ruthlessly aggressive’ in response to suspected cartel killing of US citizen
In response to the killing of an elderly South Texas rancher and U.S. citizen by a suspected cartel explosive, the Trump administration is promising to continue being “ruthlessly aggressive” in responding to cartel threats to Americans. After 74-year-old U.S. citizen Antonio Céspedes Saldierna was killed in the blast, National Security Council spokesperson Brian Hughes told Fox News Digital that the administration will be relentless in working to fully secure the border. He said that President Donald Trump’s recent designation of eight cartels – including MS-13, Venezuelan criminal group Tren de Aragua and several Mexican cartels – as foreign terrorist organizations, “makes clear his intention to treat violent cartel members exactly as they should be treated – as terrorists.” Hughes did not offer any specifics on whether the administration is considering a military response to the suspected cartel killing but noted that the “administration has proven to be ruthlessly aggressive in pursuing criminal gangs that threaten our homeland.” TEXAS GOVERNOR ANNOUNCES CRACKDOWN ON MASSIVE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY NEAR MAJOR CITY He said that “President Trump will stop at nothing to secure our border, protect our communities, and dismantle terrorist organizations.” As reported by local outlet KRGV-TV on Tuesday, Saldierna was driving in his truck about two hours south of the border in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas when he drove over an IED which exploded, taking his life. His death comes after weeks of growing concerns among border leaders about an increase in cartel violence and activity just south of the U.S. border. On Jan. 27, U.S. Border Patrol agents took fire from cartel members near Fronton, Texas. ACTIVISTS IN MEXICO REPORT FLOW OF MIGRANTS HAS ‘ENORMOUSLY DECREASED’ ONE MONTH INTO TRUMP ADMIN In early February, footage obtained by Texas Republican Rep. Chip Roy’s office revealed the cartel also has drone capabilities and the capacity to drop airborne missiles on targets on the ground. After Saldierna’s killing, Roy called for the U.S. to finally “take the fight to the cartels.” “The results of Biden’s pathetic border policies have now culminated in the death of a Texas rancher driving to his ranch in Mexico through a cartel-planted IED – an explosive device commonly used by terrorist organizations in the Middle East,” Roy told Fox News Digital. “This savage display of violence is further evidence that these cartels must be treated as the terrorists that they are.” Roy said Congress must act now to solidify the Trump administration’s designation of cartels and other migrant criminal groups as foreign terrorist organizations. BLUE STATE SHERIFF UNLEASHES ON ‘UN-AMERICAN’ SANCTUARY LAWS, MAKES SPECIAL OFFER TO HOMAN “President Trump issued an Executive Order to designate Mexican drug cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Since 2019, I have introduced legislation to designate these lawless groups as FTO,” he said. “Now is the time to codify President Trump’s EO to take the fight to the cartels and wipe them out once and for all.” Stressing the urgency of responding to the persisting cartel violence at the border, Mayra Flores, a former Republican congresswoman from South Texas, told Fox News Digital that Saldierna’s death “highlights the challenges that many face daily.” CLICK HERE FOR MORE IMMIGRATION COVERAGE Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz, another South Texas Republican, emphasized ICE’s role in reducing the cartel’s ability to inflict violence on Americans. She told Fox News Digital she would “work with the Trump Administration to support the Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol and ICE Agents as they work to arrest every criminal and cartel member in our country and secure our border.” Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales, whose district covers vast portions of the Southern border, also commented on the deaths, telling Fox News Digital that “cartels have no regard for our laws, let alone the sanctity of life.” ‘ON NOTICE’: EX-VENEZUELAN MILITARY OFFICIAL APPLAUDS TRUMP’S ‘FIRST GOOD STEP’ TARGETING BLOODTHIRSTY GANG Gonzales said that he “fully” supports the Trump administration designating cartels as terrorist groups, which he said, “gives our government more resources to shut down their operations.” “They are terrorists and deserve to be designated as such,” he explained. “This tragic death in South Texas is just another example of that.” Fox News Digital also reached out to South Texas Democrat Reps. Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez but did not receive a response by publication.

UK prime minister lays out Ukraine peace deal framework as Zelenskyy responds to resignation calls
U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer put forward a framework for a peace plan between Ukraine and Russia on Sunday, though he acknowledged it relies heavily on assumed U.S. support. Starmer revealed the plan along with French President Emmanuel Macron and other European leaders during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday. In a concession to President Donald Trump’s administration, Starmer emphasized that European countries would need to “step up their own share of the burden” toward security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a peace deal. Starmer said the U.K. is prepared to deploy boots on the ground in Ukraine as well as air force assets to ensure Russia does not infringe on a peace agreement. He nevertheless stated that the plan would rely heavily on U.S. backing as well. Macron told French media that European leaders were discussing a plan that would freeze strikes from the air, sea and on energy infrastructure for 30 days in Ukraine. He said the window could be used to negotiate a wider peace deal. ZELENSKYY MEETS WITH BRITISH PRIME MINISTER KEIR STARMER IN LONDON FOLLOWING TRUMP OVAL OFFICE CLASH Meanwhile, Zelenskyy himself has been on damage control since a disastrous meeting with Trump and Vice President JD Vance at the White House on Friday. Zelenskyy has emphasized that he is still willing to sign a rare earth minerals deal with the White House. The Ukrainian leader remains largely unapologetic, however, saying after Sunday’s meetings in Europe that the “best security guarantees are a strong Ukrainian army.” ZELENSKYY SPEAKS OUT AFTER PUBLIC SPAT WITH TRUMP, VANCE, SAYS DUSTUP ‘BAD FOR BOTH SIDES’ “The failure of Ukraine would not just mean Putin’s success, it would be a failure for Europe, it would be a failure for the U.S.,” he said. Many Republicans on Capitol Hill have rallied behind Trump’s criticism of Zelenskyy. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called on the Ukrainian leader to resign on Sunday. “He either needs to resign and send somebody over that we can do business with, or he needs to change,” Graham said after Friday’s meeting. TRUMP SAYS ZELENSKYY CAN ‘COME BACK WHEN HE IS READY FOR PEACE’ AFTER FIERY WHITE HOUSE EXCHANGE Zelenskyy retorted that Graham could weigh in on Ukrainian leadership when he became a Ukrainian citizen, to which Graham responded: “Unfortunately, until there is an election, no one has a voice in Ukraine.” According to the senator, he doesn’t think Americans saw the Ukrainian president as someone they feel comfortable going “into business with” following the televised dispute. Graham also stressed that the Ukrainian-American relationship is “vitally important.” However, he cast doubt on whether Zelenskyy could ever “do a deal with the United States.” Fox News’ Greg Wehner contributed to this report.
