Numismatic glorification: Trump team wants his image on a second coin, this time in gold. But an obscure panel is blocking it. "Only those nations ruled by kings or dictators display the image of their sitting ruler on the coins of the realm.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/25/u...

NEW: Behind the scenes, a lobbying alliance of Saudi Arabia's MBS and Israel's Netanyahu urged Trump to level a major strike against Iran in the days before the president's decision (even as as Riyadh publicly advocated for diplomacy) www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
That figure would far surpass the costs of the U.S. airstrike campaign to date and aims to boost production of critical weapons depleted in the conflict, people familiar with the matter said.
EMS crews were called to the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas at least 11 times since September for children in medical distress, records show.
