I'm going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America $5,000. Democrat policies won't allow this to happen. In fact, the opposite. They're going to raise your taxes. If the Democrats win, you will have an economic depression. If the Republicans win, you will each have $5,000 in your pocket. And economic success for our country like we have never ever seen before.

A screenshot of a White House-branded document (bearing The White House seal/logo at the top) listing a bulleted summary of Trump administration deregulatory actions by federal agencies (EPA, DOE, DOT, DOI, USDA, USACE) rolling back environmental and climate-related rules — including ending the "Good Neighbor Plan," terminating EPA's environmental justice department, DOE cutting 47 regulations, rescinding memoranda requiring environmental review of infrastructure projects, proposing to narrow Endangered Species Act permitting burdens, a presidential proclamation delaying compliance for coal-fired power plants, rescinding the Public Lands Rule, reforming permitting to favor natural gas/nuclear/coal over wind/solar, and rescinding a "Zero Emissions Building" definition. The page is one part of a longer list (items appear mid-list, cut off at top and bottom).

A screenshot of a White House official document/press release, topped with The White House seal logo and "THE WHITE HOUSE" text. The visible portion is a bulleted list (continuing mid-sentence from a prior page) organized under section headers, listing various federal agency deregulatory actions related to climate and environmental policy, grouped under headings "Finance" and "Electricity" (a third unlabeled section precedes them, covering DOE, USDA, DOT actions).

Text in image: THE WHITE HOUSE building owners of indirect pressure to account for federal guidelines that never had the force or effect of law. • The White House announced the U.S. withdrawal from 66 international organizations "that no longer serve American interests," including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). • DOE implemented reforms to ease burdensome permitting rules and regulations for construction projects at its 17 National Labs to accelerate critical infrastructure improvement projects while saving hundreds of millions of dollars for the American taxpayer. • USDA is simplifying the administrative process for grazing on federal lands favoring ranchers over environmental concerns, which will promote consistency with federal livestock permitting policies across all agencies. • DOT is in the process of rescinding overburdensome requirements regarding the Forest Highway Program, has rescinded guidance related to addressing resilience to climate change and extreme weather, and has adopted numerous categorical exclusions in order to streamline permitting. • DOT overturned a greenhouse gas emission rule, which would have required state transportation departments to measure and establish declining targets for carbon dioxide emissions on federally supported highways. Finance • The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), FDIC, and the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) announced they were withdrawing as members of the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) noting participation in the network extends well beyond the OCC, FDIC, and FRB statutory responsibilities and does not align with their regulatory mandate. • FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, and OCC withdrew interagency Principles for Climate-Related Financial Risk Management for Large Financial Institutions. • CFTC dismantled their Climate Risk Unit, disavowed the Market Risk Advisory Committee's (MRAC) 2020 Climate Risk Report and eliminated MRAC's climate-related market risk subcommittee, withdrew a Request for Information on Climate-Related Financial Risk, and withdrew CFTC Guidance regarding listing voluntary carbon credit derivative contracts. Electricity • The Trump Administration withdrew from a memorandum of understanding that provided for breaching of the Snake River dams for environmental reasons. The withdrawal provided over 3,400 MW of affordable, efficient hydroelectric power to millions of Americans. • NEDC saved over 17,000 MW of power generation (enough to power almost all of New England) from being forced offline due to ESG pressure.

A screenshot of a White House press release/fact-sheet document page, with "THE WHITE HOUSE" logo (an icon of the White House building with a small flag) centered at the top. The body text is a bulleted list detailing energy and land-management policy actions, split into an unlabeled section continuing from a prior page and a section headed "Alaska." It describes DOE halting a Biden-era hydroelectric policy in the Columbia River Basin, and DOI actions in Alaska including reopening ANWR's Coastal Plain, the Ambler Road right-of-way, the King Cove–Cold Bay Road land exchange, an updated Integrated Activity Plan for the National Petroleum Reserve, and a new record of decision reopening acreage in the Coastal Plain to oil and gas leasing with specific acreage figures.

Text in image: THE WHITE HOUSE • DOE halted the Biden Administration's radical anti-hydroelectricity policy in the Columbia River Basin, which could have led to the shutdown of more than 3,000 MW of affordable, reliable and secure hydroelectric power – enough generation to power about 2.5 million homes. Alaska • DOI announced a sweeping package of actions to boost energy development, modernize land and resource management across Alaska, and improve public health and safety for Alaskans. These steps include the following, previously prohibited by environmental activists: o reopening the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil and gas leasing; o completing right-of-way permits for the Ambler Road; o and moving forward with the King Cove–Cold Bay Road corridor through a land exchange. • DOI approved an updated Integrated Activity Plan for the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska that reopens nearly 82 percent of the 23-million-acre reserve to oil and gas leasing. The decision aligns management with the 2020 plan and restores the Reserve's core purpose as a strategic domestic energy supply. • DOI issued a new record of decision reopening 1.56 million acres of the Coastal Plain to oil and gas leasing, where the previous record of decision had closed it for environmental reasons. This action: o Opened 1,163,500 additional acres for oil and gas leasing. o Opened 126,400 additional acres to directional drilling. o Reverted 84,300 acres to leasing without controlled surface use restrictions. o Reduced 23,600 acres identified as riparian areas and wetlands.

A photograph of a damaged concrete ceiling and beam, captioned by a white banner above it. A section of concrete has broken away and shows crumbled material and rusted rebar. Pipes run diagonally across the frame: gray and blue-gray ones, a rusty brown one, a red-orange one at lower left and a thin red one at lower right. A yellow object is at the bottom left corner. The photo has no visible logo, building sign or other marking that identifies where it was taken. The banner caption says it shows the Kennedy Center, so the image asserts that the building is in a state of decay.

- For incredibly good reason, Trace. Look, as has already been said several times tonight, this is the most consequential leader that we've ever seen, not just in the United States of America, but I think worldwide, and I think that's why he faces as much opposition as he does. And with that, that's why he's loved the way that he is. And I think for someone like him, I like to imagine myself back on that campaign in 2016, the few times I got to either interact with him or see him come and talk to our team, it's almost like he was prepared back then, over 10 years ago, knowing this is exactly what was going to happen. Knowing he was not going to be another leader that went in and did absolutely nothing, and knowing that with those strong actions and with that courage, unfortunately, would come some really dark days, but also some incredibly bright ones as well.

Screenshot of a tweet/post from Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC, verified account, profile photo of a man in a suit gesturing while speaking), timestamped 12:13 PM · Mar 31, 2026, with 126.7K views. The post argues that the media is unreliable on DHS funding, blames Democrats for DHS funding lapse and unpaid employees over demands related to ICE and CBP, calls those demands "handcuffs" rather than reforms, and states he won't give in to what he calls hostage-taking demands that endanger federal agents.

Text in image: Lindsey Graham ✓ 🛡️ @LindseyGrahamSC If you count on the lazy and biased media to tell you what's going on in Washington regarding @DHSgov funding, you are making a mistake. Here's the reality. The Department of Homeland Security is not being funded and its employees are not being paid because Democrats refuse to vote for funding unless Republicans agree to hamstring @ICEgov and @CBP. The Democrats' demands are not reforms – they're handcuffs. I'm willing to work on DHS reforms, but our country's national security cannot be held hostage. I have no intention of giving in to hostage-taking and unreasonable demands that impede federal agents' ability to do their jobs and, in some cases, put their lives at risk. 12:13 PM · Mar 31, 2026 · 126.7K Views

The page has three columns: a left story "Money woes a 'rial' crusher" about Iran's currency collapse, a center story with a map graphic of the Persian Gulf/UAE/Iran region showing a red arrow pointing into Iran, headlined "That cut really hurts / UAE big Iran partner," and a right story "US will sanction nations that aid Tehran" by Josh Christenson and Ryan King about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's "Operation Economic Outcast" campaign. A faint repeating watermark reading "COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION IS ..." overlays the page.

Text in image: 4 nypost.com New York Post, Tuesday, August 25, 2026 THE BATTLE FOR IRAN $QUEEZING Money woes a 'rial' crusher Iran's currency plummeted to new lows Monday, sending citizens rushing to exchange lines to save their cash. The rial dropped to 2.02 million to $1 when the currency markets opened, about half of what it was worth at the start of the year. The continued plunge during nearly six months of war has led Iranians to sprint for the exchange markets in hopes of getting US bills. "There is no hope for a deal or peace," Sadegh Mahmoudi, 73, said as he waited at an exchange line in Tehran. The rial has been in a free fall since November due to years of sanctions and persistently high inflation, factors that have only gotten worse during the war. While Iran's official Central Bank rate stands at 1.5 million rial to the dollar, the market rate is what Iranians pay. "President Trump decimated Iran's economy to a point where the rial has never been weaker and inflation has rarely been higher," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent wrote Sunday in an opinion piece in the Financial Times. "The regime's final refuge now lies in the self-deception of fearful nations that still believe accommodating aggression can secure a durable peace." Bessent warned that the additional financial penalties announced Monday would effectively "collapse the regime," with Trump echoing the same threat on social media. "IRAN IS COMPLETELY COLLAPSING!!!" the president wrote on Truth Social. Tehran officials have threatened retaliation. "Any escalation of this situation will undoubtedly bring about consequences," a Foreign Ministry spokesperson told reporters on Monday. Ronny Reyes, With Wires ■ Dubai is Iran's biggest supplier of goods by far ■ One-third of Iran's imports come from the UAE, most flowing through Dubai ■ Nearly 15% of Iran's non-oil exports go to the UAE, sending $6.5B to the regime in the last 10 months ■ 70% of Iran's fuel oil exports went to UAE By RONNY REYES [Map showing IRAN, QATAR, Dubai (star), UAE, SAUDI ARABIA, OMAN, Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, Gulf of Oman, with a red arrow pointing from the Gulf region into Iran] That cut really hurts UAE big Iran partner A US ally in the Middle East has finally cut off Iran — and it could be one of the biggest threats to the regime yet. The United Arab Emirates, which serves as Tehran's largest supplier of goods, suspended all trade with the Iran over the weekend — nixing $6 billion in cash that went to the regime from exports, as well as access to vital supplies from the outside world. Dubai — the UAE's thriving commercial hub — is by far Iran's largest supplier of goods. The Emirati government finally felt fed up with Iran following repeated missile attacks that triggered evacuations for the first time during the war. The move not only threatens the $21.3 billion trade relations between the two nations, it also leaves Iran without its primary way to collect US dollars, Mark Kimmitt, a retired US general and former assistant secretary of state, told The Post. "If the Emirates cease trade and blocks dollar flows, it could have a crippling effect on the Iranian economy," Kimmitt said. Dubai essentially served as Iran's window to the world after years of being slapped by Western sanctions, with traders buying and re-exporting consumer goods, food and industrial equipment to Iran. The two nations strengthened their economic cooperation in 2024, with the UAE surpassing China as Iran's most vital trading partner. Iran imported about $14.8 billion worth of goods from the UAE during the first 10 months of the 2025 fiscal year, accounting for 30% of its total imports, according to the two countries' trade data. Meanwhile, Iran exported around $6.5 billion worth of goods to the UAE during the same fiscal period, nearly 15% of its non-oil exports. Most notably, Iran also depended on the UAE for 70% of its fuel oil exports, making the UAE its largest market for the product. Refined oil also came back in the opposite direction from Dubai — with gasoline and diesel imports from the UAE helping to offset Iran's supply deficit. The blow leaves Iran with fewer means to make money and import goods as its economy continues to plummet under the strain of US sanctions. US will sanction nations that aid Tehran By JOSH CHRISTENSON and RYAN KING WASHINGTON — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Monday the start of the Operation Economic Outcast campaign against Iran to "tighten the noose" around its regime, and warned countries against doing business with Tehran. The Trump administration aims to choke off revenue streams to the Iran by pressuring countries to stop making oil, energy and business deals with Tehran. "The clock just started ticking," he warned at a news conference, while declining to give a precise timeline before secondary sanctions against uncooperating countries would take effect. Prez on the horn Bessent revealed that the President Trump has been burning the phone lines to other capitals with demands, and stressed that America "does not have infinite patience" with countries to comply. "The president is making phone calls to world leaders with specific requests to cease their interactions with the regime. We are already seeing results," Bessent said, without citing examples. He issued a final warning to world leaders "to make a decision between . . . America and Iran." Trump is preparing to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping next month. Beijing purchases

Trump had called UAE leader Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed hours before the announcement. "And I would expect that you will see a major announcement of a financial institution being sanctioned by the end of this week," added Bessent. Bessent is authorized, "in consultation with the Department of State," to target countries or entities dealing with Tehran through digital assets, technology, gold, commercial aviation and shipping. That authority took effect Monday under an executive order Trump signed in January 2020. Evasion Treasury officials noted that the Iranian regime has been making use of cryptocurrencies to evade sanctions, stabilizing its rial currency with gold to hedge against inflation, using commercial planes or ships to transport weapons or their components, fighters, cash and gold. As the 6-month-old war with Iran has dragged on, the Trump administration has teased an "Economic D-Day" approach. As an example, Bessent said that countries have been told to shutter Bank Melli branches within their borders, referring to the largest government-owned commercial bank in Iran. That would include the bank's branches in the UK, France, Germany Russia and other countries. Bessent said the operation will "foreclose every other option available," calling it a "zero leakage approach" that will ensure the regime will have "no minimal breathing space" to rebuild. "Iran now faces a very clear choice, with only two paths before them: complete global isolation and a subsistence economy, or a path back to normalcy with an opportunity to rejoin the global economy," he said. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth told reporters later Monday, "The only choice they have is to come to the table and actually talk about their nuclear program, which is what the president has demanded." In addition, the Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control on Monday sanctioned more than 60 entities that enable Iran to obtain illicit nuclear and missile technology, conduct malicious cyberattacks and increase the regime's oil revenue through shadow fleets and other entities. Some of the now-sanctioned entities, located in China and Iran, helped move "proliferation-sensitive equipment" and other "highly sensitive dual-use technology" to Tehran's Malek Ashtar University of Technology.

A three-panel collage of photos of a dingy, deteriorated basement or utility space, under a white banner with a bold black headline. Left panel: a rusted, grimy metal-framed grate or hatch with mesh screens lying on a dirty concrete floor, with a dark painted column and concrete walls behind it. Center panel: a tall gray electrical cabinet or switchgear streaked with heavy rust, with red and yellow warning labels (one marked CAUTION), partly draped in plastic sheeting, with crumpled plastic on the floor and a dim corridor of more cabinets behind it. Right panel: a large concrete column or wall with a big section of concrete broken away, exposing rusted material inside, with a metal conduit running across it and a bright light fixture at the lower left. The panels have torn-paper edges between them. The image presents the photos as showing the condition of the Kennedy Center. It reads as a propaganda-style or promotional graphic about the building's state of disrepair, with no other context or attribution visible.
