#1 - Megyn Kelly Just Shook Up the Media World With Blockbuster Announcement — by Teri Christoph

Kelly announced the birth of MK Media on Tuesday morning, telling her audience that the exciting new venture will be a "podcast network of video and audio shows, which we are going to produce and help promote." Kelly said they would be "launching with three out of the gate," with the new shows set to premiere in April and May.

The first three personalities to make their home at MK Media are:

  • Mark Halperin, the seasoned political journo who launched his own media platform, 2Way, in 2024;
  • Maureen Callahan, a Daily Mail columnist who often joins Kelly to discuss pop culture and entertainment stories; and,
  • Link Lauren, a former advisor to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who will host a show focused on news and commentary.


#2 - Bondi Warns Jasmine Crockett to ‘Tread Carefully’ After Threat to ‘Take Down’ Elon, Crockett Responds — by Rusty Weiss

Attorney General Pam Bondi warned Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) after the congresswoman issued a message to supporters wishing Tesla CEO Elon Musk would be "taken down."

Bondi spoke with Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures" about charges against three individuals suspected of using Molotov cocktails to set fire to Tesla cars and charging stations.

The AG then pivoted to Crockett's seeming dog whistle calls to violence.

"She is an elected public official, so she needs to tread very carefully because nothing will happen to Elon Musk, and we are going to fight to protect all the Tesla owners throughout this country," Bondi asserted.

#3 - Trump Answers the One Question That Has Confused Democrats – and One Supreme Court Justice – for Years — by Rusty Weiss

Would he be able to answer? Or would he get tripped up like so many before him?

"What is a woman?" one reporter wondered. "And why is it important that we understand the difference between men and women?"

As one would imagine, Trump fielded the question rather easily, providing his trademark sense of humor in the process.

"Well, it's sort of easy to answer for me, because a woman is somebody that can have a baby, under certain circumstances," he replied. "She has a quality - A woman is a person who is much smarter than a man, I've always found."


#4 - Watch: Sen. Kennedy Dismantles Constitution-Hating Leftist Law Professor As Only He Can — by Mike Miller

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) thoroughly took apart a radical leftist law professor over her past quotes and tweets she has posted attacking the U.S. Constitution — and then some in a Tuesday hearing before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution regarding the Censorship Industrial Complex. 

As only he can, the cagey, wicked-smart Louisianan was not only well prepared to question George Washington Law School professor, author of "The Cult of the Constitution," and radical activist Mary Anne Franks, but he did so in his typical mild-mannered style, with a bit of wry wit tossed in for good measure.

#5 - Police Find 43-Year-Old, Former Federal Prosecutor Dead in Her Alexandria, VA Home — by Becca Lower

Questions linger about the death of a former federal prosecutor who police say was found dead in her Alexandria, Virginia, home on Saturday morning, according to reports:

Officers with the Alexandria Police Department were dispatched to the home at 9:18 a.m. Eastern Time on a report of an unresponsive woman.

They arrived to find 43-year-old Jessica Aber, former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, dead at the scene, police reported. It was not immediately clear if the home belonged to Aber, or who had contacted police.

Former colleagues of Aber, though, confirm that the home where she was found deceased belonged to her. 

Update to the above: Police have now indicated they found no evidence suggesting Aber's death was the result of foul play — it appears to have resulted from "natural causes," though the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner will make the final ruling on the cause/manner of death.
