Analysis: Trump’s parting gift to Noem: A suggestion that she lied under oath
Either President Donald Trump isn’t telling the truth, or Kristi Noem seems to have committed perjury. Noem repeatedly signaled in her testimony that Trump was aware of and even approved of the ad campaign. But Noem clearly agreed that Trump knew about the ad campaign and even the dollar amount, and that he consented to them. So he twice asked her if Trump knew she was going to do the ads. Whatever the case, who lied remains an important question — Noem is still going to be a government employee.

Stocks Slide As Oil Price Fears, U.S. Jobs Data Rattle Markets
The unemployment rate rose to 4.4%, from January’s 4.3%. “We’ve seen negative momentum in stocks in recent days on the geopolitical environment and concerns about a resurgence in inflation and rising oil prices,” said Jim Baird, chief investment officer with Plante Moran Financial Advisors.

As the war continues to escalate with no end in sight, Iranians are being forced to navigate a new reality. When asked on Wednesday evening how they were faring, one Tehran resident simply replied: “I’m still alive.”

With Washington Post Local diminished, other news sites step up their D.C. coverage
Despite all this local media activity, “the Post was always the thousand-pound gorilla in local reporting,” said Andrew Beaujon, senior editor at Washingtonian. “Even people who weren’t [directly] consuming Post Local news were consuming it — they just didn’t realize it,” he said. But in the wake of the Post cuts, Plotz decided City Cast D.C. had a bigger role to play in original local reporting. City Cast D.C. also just announced the hire of an executive editor, and is still hiring a managing editor. But he thinks “we’ll do a good job collectively” filling the void created by the Post Local cuts.

The Suns needed urgency against the Bulls. Instead they got a layup line
A team whose fan base is staring at the draft lottery like it is a lighthouse in the fog. A team that has spent the entire season clawing and scratching to stay above the Play-In line, but cannot seem to overcome it. Chicago poured in 68 points in the paint, and if you were sitting in the arena, it probably felt like 120. Chicago rebounds. Yes, it is one game in an eighty-two game season.
