Vance: ‘Emergency’ Exists Over Drug Ingredients, Supply Chain
During a Thursday interview with Newsmax TV’s Greg Kelly, Vice President J.D. Vance defended President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff strategy, calling it a necessary response to a national emergency involving U.S. supply chains. Vance argued that foreign governments—some adversarial—have threatened to disrupt access to critical goods like pharmaceutical ingredients and components essential to manufacturing. “If these governments are threatening to cut us off from that stuff, that is, by definition, a national emergency,” Vance said. The discussion followed a recent legal dispute over Trump’s use of tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). A federal trade court initially blocked the tariffs, claiming Trump lacked authority, but a federal appeals court has since temporarily reinstated them while the legal process continues.
Vance emphasized that the president holds broad discretion in foreign policy and economic protection during emergencies. He maintained that even if courts raise legal objections, the president can still act decisively to shield American industries and consumers from unfair trade practices and foreign manipulation.
“The president has very broad discretion to fight back, to bring American industry back home, and to make American consumers protected and much safer,” Vance asserted. He warned that underestimating these supply threats could weaken U.S. resilience and endanger national security. Trump echoed these sentiments on Truth Social, criticizing the court ruling and urging the Supreme Court to restore full presidential authority over emergency economic measures.

Kai shared that she had a date to her prom
The social media personality opened up in an interview on the Impaulsive podcast about the difficulties of dating while having her own Secret Service team on hand at all times.
"To be honest with you, it's really awkward when you're sitting and going on a date with a guy, and [the Secret Service are] like two tables behind you. It's a little weird," she admitted.
"But I try my best not to let it bother me, and I think I've learned especially over the past year now…I've had to learn to [think] yes, they're following me, but also focus and pretend like they're not there."

Kai's golfing dream hit a speed bump in January when she was forced to undergo surgery on her wrist due to a sporting injury. "Today, I underwent left wrist surgery to address injuries to the stabilizing tissues of my ECU tendon and damage to my fibrocartilage complex," she wrote on social media.
"The surgery was successfully performed at the Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute by Dr Thomas Graham, Chief of Jefferson Orthopedics. I look forward to my rehab in the coming months. I am excited for the ability to play golf pain-free."
A Reflective Moment From Donald Trump in Washington
Away from the roar of rallies and the sharp edges of televised clashes, the former president’s silence in that Washington room carried an unexpected charge.
The absence of performance revealed a different kind of presence—one defined less by dominance than by the gravity of memory, consequence, and possibility. For a few suspended moments, the usual choreography of power gave way to something unnervingly human.
Those watching weren’t looking at a headline, a poll number, or a caricature. They were watching a person who has altered the country’s trajectory sit with the invisible cost of those choices. In that stillness, leadership looked less like certainty and more like the burden of knowing there are no easy answers.
The city moved on, as it always does, but for those who witnessed it, that quiet pause said more than any speech.
