TRUMP FLOATING RETURNING 20% OF DOGE SAVINGS TO AMERICAN PEOPLE
President Donald Trump floated the idea of delivering 20% of savings from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) directly to the American people. Trump said 20% of the savings could be delivered to U.S. citizens in personal checks to taxpaying households, while another 20% would be used to pay down the national debt. Users on X, formerly Twitter, first pitched the idea of a "DOGE dividend" to Elon Musk earlier this week, suggesting payouts of $5,000. The billionaire Tesla owner said he would "check with the president" about the plan. "I love it," Trump said. "A 20% dividend, so to speak, for the money that we're saving by going after the waste, fraud and abuse and all of the other things that are happening. I think it's a great idea." Trump went on to suggest that the dividend could serve as an incentive for Americans to report government waste on their own.

TOP RUSSIAN, US OFFICIALS MEET BEGIN TALKS ON UKRAINE WAR WITHOUT UKRAINIAN OFFICIALS
Senior Russian and U.S. officials met in Saudi Arabia to discuss improving relations and an end to Moscow's war in Ukraine ... without representatives from Kyiv. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov led the delegations that met at the Diriyah Palace in Saudi Arabia's capital of Riyadh. Rubio was accompanied by National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, while Lavrov brought along the Kremlin's foreign affairs advisor, Yuri Ushakov. Ukrainian officials are not participating in Tuesday's meeting and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Monday that Kyiv will not accept the outcome if his country is not in attendance for the talks. The meeting symbolizes another significant step by the Trump administration to reverse U.S. policy on isolating Russia. The event was meant to lead to a meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
