On Saturday, President Donald Trump said that he could “feel the love” at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland.

There he announced that he will be signing an executive order requiring colleges and universities to support free speech if they want federal research dollars.

Trump also spoke out against the New Green Deal, a 10 year plan to combat climate change.

Early Saturday, SpaceX, an aerospace company founded by Elon Musk, made history and launched its first commercial spaceship called the Crew Dragon.

The spaceship holds a mannequin and 400 pounds of supplies and equipment. Dragon’s arrival marked the first time in eight years that an American-made spacecraft capable of carrying humans has flown to the space station.

If this test flight goes well, a Dragon capsule could take two NASA astronauts to the orbiting outpost this summer.

On Sunday, harsh weather covered the nation, producing fatal tornadoes in the northeast.
A powerful tornado travelled through southeast Alabama and killed at least 23 people, including children.

Yesterday, Minnesota hit the record low temperature in March, when it got as low as -13 degrees fahrenheit.

This hasn’t happened since 1873. Make sure to dress warm, unfortunately bitter cold weather is expected to stick around this week.
