1. Trump will address a joint session of Congress at 9 p.m. tonight. Since retaking office, he has issued a flurry of executive orders, cutting federal jobs, tightening immigration policies, and questioning U.S. commitments abroad. While not a State of the Union, the speech will follow similar traditions. (WGME)

2. Maine will continue allowing residents to choose “X” as a gender marker on IDs, despite recent federal changes to passports. The state’s policy, in place since 2018, remains unaffected as driver’s licenses are governed by state law, not federal orders. (WMTW)

3. Governor Janet Mills tapped a Blaine House maple tree Monday to mark the start of Maine’s maple sugaring season. Maine’s 42nd Maple Weekend is less than three weeks away, scheduled for March 22nd and 23rd. (WGME)

4. Microsoft will officially discontinue Skype on May 5 after nearly 20 years. The company has been phasing out the platform since 2017, steering users toward Microsoft Teams as Skype’s popularity declined from its peak of 300 million users. (JN)

5. To celebrate Pancake Day today, IHOP is giving away its signature pancakes for free. Swing by an IHOP between 7am and 8pm and get a free short stack of original buttermilk pancakes. (AR)
