 | Tuesday, March 18, 2025 | | | Good Morning! On this day in 1766, the British Parliament repealed the Stamp Act after four months of widespread protests in the colonies about taxation without representation, a major cause of the Revolution. Today we introduce a special section devoted to the next three weeks of March Madness, covering the men's and women's NCAA tournaments in detail for college basketball fans. Take a look below and let us know what you think! We're flying today with our sponsors at Sunday's Dog Food, offering top quality dog food for your canine companions. | | | |  Navy Destroyer Sent to Southern Border
The Pentagon confirmed that a Navy guided-missile destroyer was deployed to the southern border to aid in securing the U.S. border and operate in international waters. The USS Gravely, an Arleigh Burke-class warship armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles, will be stationed in the Northern Command area, which includes the Gulf of America, the Straits of Florida, and much of the Caribbean region. The destroyer will also house a squad of U.S. Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachment operators, elite specialists in maritime missions such as combating piracy and intercepting drug trafficking. The warship recently served in the Middle East, where it was involved in shooting down ship attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels. | Trump: Biden Autopen Use 'Voids' Pardons President Trump declared Sunday that preemptive pardons granted by former President Biden to members of the House Jan. 6 select committee were "void" and "vacant" because he said they were signed with an autopen and not by hand.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump also said Biden "knew nothing" about the pardons, raising the question as to whether his staff had "committed a crime." Trump warned that members of the former Jan. 6 House select committee to whom Biden issued pardons would be "subject to investigation at the highest level."
At a press briefing Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump was "raising the point" of the legality of the pardons and that questions about autopen usage should be directed to former Biden White House officials. | List: U.S. Military Bases Around the World A recently released map shows the location of every known overseas American military base, totaling at least 128 bases across 49 countries. Here's the map. The information is based on unclassified data from a Congressional report published in 2024. The bases shown in red are controlled by the U.S., and the ones in blue are controlled by the host country.
Japan has the most U.S. bases, with 14, followed by the Philippines (9) and South Korea (8). The U.S. also has numerous bases across Europe and some, though fewer, in the Middle East. You can see the data on troop totals here.

For All the Good Boys and Girls This brand of dog food beats traditional kibbles 39-0 in a third-party taste test. What's your pup waiting for? Sundays is no regular dog food. Their recipes stick to a short list of human-grade meats, fruits, and vegetables to ensure dogs are fed to a higher standard. And unlike other human-grade dog foods, Sundays needs no fridge, no prep, no cleanup, and no hassle. Just pour into a bowl and watch your pup devour it. Because every batch is made and air-dried in the US for over 11 hours, these tasty jerky-style pieces retain maximum nutrition to help your dog look and feel its best (while loving what they are eating). It's time to try the Sundays challenge: let your pup decide between Sundays and your current dog food. We're pretty sure we know who's going to win.
