President Trump is touting his administration's affordability efforts. While speaking to the Detroit Economic Club in Michigan on Tuesday, Trump said he's orchestrated the greatest economic turnaround in U.S. history, since his return to office. His comments come on the same day a report showed consumer prices rose less than expected in December. 
The Supreme Court seems poised to uphold states transgender athlete bans. On Tuesday, the justices heard two cases -- one out of Idaho, the other from West Virginia -- challenging whether states can ban transgender girls from participating in girls' and women's sports. Several legal analysis conclude the 6-3 conservative majority seems poised to uphold the bans. President Trump is telling anti-regime protesters in Iran that "help is on its way" and to "keep protesting." In a Truth Social post this morning, Trump said he's canceled meetings with Iranian officials as protests continue. The U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency has reported at least two-thousand people have died in the protests. Cancer patients are getting encouraging news. According to the American Cancer Society's annual report on cancer facts and trends, seven in ten people now survive their cancer five-years or more, up from only half in the mid-70s. The lead author of the report, Rebecca Siegel, states this stunning victory is largely the result of decades of cancer research, that provided clinicians with the tools to treat the disease more effectively, turning many cancers from a death sentence into a chronic disease. The Atlantic Amateur Hockey Association says it's investigating a viral youth team fight that's being described as a staged. It happened when the Central Penn Panthers Youth Ice Hockey Club played an intra-squad scrimmage during intermission of a minor league game on Saturday in Hershey. Video shared on social media show the team made up of players eight years old and younger fighting each other for a minute without any adults intervening. Mike Tomlin is stepping down as the coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. That's according to multiple reports. Tomlin has coached the Steelers for 19 seasons. This comes after the team was blown out in the AFC Wild-Card round against the Houston Texans.
