While a handful of congressional Democrats have come out for Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin to resign this week, most simply don't want to broach the subject.

Why it matters: The apathy points to minimal momentum in the party for Martin's ouster despite bombshell stories revealing severe problems at the DNC ranging from its ongoing financial woes to an HR investigation.

Individual investors overwhelmingly oppose the Securities and Exchange Commission's proposal to ease the requirement that companies release quarterly financial reports.

The big picture: More than 99% of the comments opposed the proposal, according to a new tally.

President Trump's planned tariffs for generic drugs are the clearest test yet of whether the administration can keep its promises to both increase U.S. drug manufacturing and lower prescription costs.

Why it matters: Tariffs could give the country more control over the supply chain, but they could also make some of the country's cheapest medicines more expensive at a time when consumers are clamoring for relief.

President Trump's controversial "self-deportation" program, which pays unauthorized immigrants to leave the U.S., is on pace to account for more than 200,000 departures, according to internal data shared with Axios.

Why it matters: Launched last year alongside a multimillion-dollar ad campaign, the initiative is virtually the only carrot in an aggressive immigration crackdown that has been long on sticks.

Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with Donald Trump in the Oval Office Tuesday for the eighth time since the president returned to office. But the Israeli prime minister arrives at the White House weaker and less influential than the previous seven times.

Why it matters: On Feb. 28, Trump and Netanyahu went to war together and it looked like there was no daylight between them. But exactly five months later, their interests have diverged more than ever — and bad blood and frustration have deepened as they've grown suspicious of each other's intentions.

Canadian travel to the U.S. fell 25% last year, according to a new Canadian government report, which says early 2026 data show the decline has persisted.

Why it matters: The report provides some of the clearest measures yet of the economic cost to the U.S. tourism industry after trade tensions, tariffs and President Trump's repeated "51st state" comments led many Canadians to vacation elsewhere.

President Trump's economic assault on Iran has drawn a fraction of the attention devoted to his bombing campaign, even as senior U.S. officials believe it may ultimately do more damage to the regime in Tehran.

Why it matters: U.S. intelligence and open-source media reports point to a deepening economic crisis inside Iran, including gasoline shortages in one of the world's most oil-rich countries.

The small businesses behind high-profile legal challenges to President Trump's trade agenda are suing again to block his latest import taxes.

Why it matters: The lawsuits set up another legal test of Trump's tariff agenda after courts this year rejected one tariff regime and another remains tied up in court.

The conservative Club for Growth is wading into Florida's wildest GOP primary with a massive $1.1 million ad buy to crush one of its biggest foes: former Rep. Chris Collins.

Why it matters: It's the club's own ABC strategy: "Anybody but Chris."

Senate Majority Leader John Thune is pulling off something today's Republicans rarely attempt: telling President Trump "no."

Why it matters: Pressure from Trump and the MAGA base is piling up on Thune (R-S.D.), especially over a voter ID bill, but he has an important insurance policy: GOP senators have his back.
