President Donald Trump will depart the White House on Friday for a weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, first stopping in Corpus Christi, Texas, to deliver a speech on energy and economy before flying to Palm Beach, with an expected return Sunday evening, according to a report from Faytuks Network at 1:30 PM UTC on February 25, 2026 (https://x.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/2026647711663939828). The trip schedule was detailed in the Faytuks Network post during the reporting window from 12:45 PM to 1:45 PM UTC, marking the primary development over the past hour. Separately, Georgia State Election Board Chair John Fervier dismissed calls for a state takeover of Fulton County's elections, stating “There’s just a lot of political theater” in an interview with PoliticallyGa, as reported by Laurie Bluestein (https://x.com/bluestein/status/2026646232341397963).
