1/ Congress is demanding to see Trump’s still-secret U.S.-Iran agreement before it’s formally signed Friday, triggering a 60-day ceasefire and negotiating period. The draft agreement reportedly would give Iran immediate economic relief before a final nuclear deal is reached, including waivers allowing Iranian oil and petrochemical exports, while other sanctions relief and frozen assets would be tied to further negotiations. A proposed $300 billion reconstruction and development fund remains central to the deal, though Trump denied the U.S. would “invest” money in Iran and the fund would reportedly be private, not taxpayer-funded. The nuclear issue remains unresolved, with JD Vance saying inspectors would “absolutely” return and help destroy Iran’s highly enriched stockpile. The draft, however, leaves the future of Iran’s enriched material and future nuclear activity to a final agreement negotiated in the next 60 days. Trump, meanwhile, said he “never even thought about” sending the agreement to Congress, but “I like the idea.” (Reuters / New York Times / Bloomberg / Wall Street Journal / NBC News / Associated Press / Washington Post / CNBC / Politico / Reuters / CBS News)

2/ The Senate rejected a resolution to force Trump to withdraw U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran despite four Republicans breaking with their party to support limiting Trump’s war powers. Democrats are still trying to advance a separate resolution that the Senate narrowly advanced last month. The House has passed its own war-powers measure. The vote came as Trump said he’ll release and “read” an initial U.S.-Iran agreement once it’s finalized, even as lawmakers in both parties said they still haven’t seen the text of a memorandum that could trigger congressional review under the 2015 Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act.

3/ Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to replenish weapon stockpiles that’ve been depleted by his war in Iran and other conflicts. Trump said “limited production capacity, fragile supply chains, long-lead dependencies, and related production bottlenecks” could threaten national defense. The memo gives Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authority to pursue voluntary agreements with defense contractors and other private companies to address shortages in solid rocket motors, igniters, guidance systems, and other critical weapons components. Last month, Hegseth said that “the munitions issue has been foolishly and unhelpfully overstated” and that “we have plenty of what we need.” (Bloomberg / Reuters)

4/ Trump said “Russia should make a deal” with Ukraine. Following a “very good” meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump said he would do “whatever I can” to end Russia’s war now that the Iran war is “in the rearview mirror.” Zelenskyy said the talks focused on strengthening Ukraine’s air defenses and advancing diplomacy “to make Russia end its war,” while European leaders pushed Trump to stay aligned with their strategy of maintaining support for Kyiv and increasing pressure on Moscow.

5/ Federal authorities arrested five people accused of planning to attack the UFC event on the White House lawn with explosive drones and gunfire after the mother of 19-year-old Tycen Proper called police about his gun purchases and online contacts. Proper later told investigators that members of a roughly 19-person Signal chat planned to meet near D.C., stage a demonstration, detonate drones over the arena, and shoot “wealthy people and politicians” to “jumpstart” a revolution. Court records don’t show that any explosive drones were found or how close the alleged attack came to being carried out. (CNN / Washington Post / Associated Press / NBC News)

6/ Trump claimed “no taxpayer” would put up “10 cents” for his White House ballroom project, but internal contractor records show taxpayers are expected to cover more than half of the $600 million cost. Clark Construction’s March project summary estimated $293 million from private sources, with $155 million from the Secret Service, $149 million from the White House Military Office, and $3 million from the Executive Residence, which are all taxpayer-funded sources. The White House didn’t answer questions about the estimates or taxpayer funding, but instead claimed Trump and “generous American patriots” were funding the ballroom at “approximately $400 million” and that the East Wing project was “inextricably tied” to White House security.

7/ The Trump administration is moving special education and civil rights enforcement out of the Education Department as part of Trump’s effort to dismantle the agency without congressional approval. The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, which oversees IDEA and roughly $15 billion in grants for about 7 million students, will move to Health and Human Services. Most of the Office for Civil Rights’ work investigating discrimination complaints will move to the Justice Department. The Education Department, however, is legally obligated to investigate all civil rights complaints it receives. (ABC News / Associated Press / Politico / NPR / Washington Post)
