Live updates: Trump says US considering ‘winding down’ Iran war, US removes sanctions on 140 million barrels of Iranian oil
The US decision to allow as much as 140 million barrels of Iranian oil at sea to be sold will be of little financial benefit to Iran, according to US officials. 140 million barrels is roughly 1.5 days of global consumption. Most Iranian oil goes to China on board a fleet of sanctioned tankers. More than 2 million barrels a day of Iranian crude arrived off China in February, almost double normal quantities, according to commodity analysts at Argus Media. Since the beginning of the conflict three weeks ago Iran has continued to ship an average of more than 1 million barrels a day from Kharg.

Talks intensify in Washington to end DHS shutdown as airport delays mount nationwide
A meeting with White House border czar Tom Homan and bipartisan Senate appropriators Friday evening was brief, with Democrats leaving without speaking to reporters less than an hour after it began. Asked if the group would meet again Saturday, Collins replied, “I certainly hope so,” but noted that depends on Democrats. They argue the White House is refusing to make any real concessions. Multiple GOP senators told CNN they would only support a bill that fully funds DHS – not simply funding agencies in a piecemeal fashion. Republicans have already given them enough money to last years through their massive domestic policy bill last year, they say.

Voting is fundamental. Why make it harder?
This week the U.S. Senate has been debating the SAVE America Act, which the House approved on February 11. The SAVE America Act “builds on the framework” from last year’s SAVE Act; Issue One explained the differences between the two bills here. The obvious purpose of the SAVE Act, SAVE America Act, and MEGA Act is to make voter registration and voting more difficult. It incorporates all of the SAVE Act and SAVE America Act provisions, and would also require paper ballots for all federal elections. So the SAVE, SAVE America, and MEGA bills, if enacted in their present form, would probably be unconstitutional.

Ex-CNN Correspondent Urges Trump, Hegseth to Tone Down Attacks on Press Over Iran Coverage: Insults ‘Paint a Target on the Back of a Journalist’
Former CNN Pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr argued the Trump administration is putting the lives of journalists at risk with its rhetoric toward the press. Since the start of the war in Iran, President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have been especially hostile toward the press. Trump has accused the press of wanting the U.S. to lose the war, insisting that coverage of the conflict has been far detached from reality. Hegseth, on the other hand, has claimed that the press is only concerned with making the president “look bad.” He also took issue with the coverage surrounding the fallen troops in the war. Mr. Trump, of course, is trying to improve his coverage perhaps with these exclusives.

US judge blocks Pentagon’s restrictions on press after New York Times lawsuit
A federal judge has blocked key portions of the Pentagon’s press access policy, siding with the New York Times and ruling that the Trump administration’s controversial policy was unconstitutional. News outlets including the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, Reuters, Bloomberg News and the Atlantic joined TV networks in refusing to sign. Of 56 news outlets in the Pentagon Press Association, only one agreed to sign onto the new policy. Friedman, in ruling against the Pentagon policy, said while national security “must be protected”, it is also imperative that the public stay informed. The policy change was criticized by journalism advocates, who called it another attack on the free press by Trump and his administration.

Pentagon policy limiting independent press access is unlawful, judge rules
It must not be abandoned now.”The New York Times challenged the policy late last year, arguing it violates its First Amendment and due process rights. The parts of the policy Friedman struck down required beat reporters to sign a pledge not to obtain or use unauthorized material. Scores of news organizations, including the Times and CNN, declined to agree, resulting in reporters being denied press badges that give them access to the Pentagon. Friedman ordered officials to reinstate the press badges of seven national security reporters at the Times who lost access to the Pentagon last year. “The Court recognizes that national security must be protected, the security of our troops must be protected, and war plans must be protected,” Friedman wrote.
