[b]Mike Johnson caves to Democrats' DHS funding bill demands.[/b]
“The shift also highlighted deep Republican divisions over how to handle Democrats’ demands for changes to immigration enforcement, after the Senate’s early-morning voice vote advanced a bill funding most of DHS without ICE and Border Patrol.”

[b]Trump not immune from civil claims from Jan. 6 speech, judge rules.[/b]
“A federal judge is allowing a civil suit brought against President Trump for his actions on Jan. 6, 2021 to proceed in court, a victory for Democratic lawmakers and Capitol Police officers who brought the litigation.
The late Tuesday ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta found that Trump’s speech on the Ellipse that day was not covered by the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling, determining it could not be considered a core presidential act.”

[b]Bondi fired because even she couldn't be as awful as Trump.[/b]
“As attorney general, Pam Bondi lied for President Donald Trump. She hurled insults at Democrats for him. She tried to shield him from the Jeffrey Epstein files. She groveled and doused him with praise in Cabinet meetings.
But in the end, doing everything the president wanted, selling her soul and whatever shards of dignity she had left, just wasn’t enough.”

[b]Amy Coney Barrett Unraveled the Case Against Birthright Citizenship With One Question.[/b]
“Wednesday’s Supreme Court arguments over birthright citizenship went very poorly for Donald Trump. The president watched from the front row as a majority of the justices expressed deep skepticism toward his executive order seeking to deny U.S. citizenship to the American-born children of many immigrants. He walked out of the courtroom midway through arguments and later ranted on Truth Social that the nation is “stupid” for protecting this fundamental right. Trump is not a sophisticated legal observer, but even he seemed to understand that the case is not going to go his way.
There was no single turning point against the administration at arguments—but one exchange between Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Solicitor General John Sauer may have locked in the government’s loss.”

[b]US military jets hit in Iran war are the first shot down by enemy fire in over 20 years.[/b]
“Iran shooting down two American military jets marks an exceedingly rare assault for the U.S. that has not happened in more than 20 years and shows the Islamic Republic’s continued ability to hit back despite President Trump asserting it has been “completely decimated.”
The attacks came five weeks after U.S. and Israeli strikes first pounded Iran, with Trump saying earlier this week that Tehran’s “ability to launch missiles and drones is dramatically curtailed.”

[b]World leaders bypass Trump to tackle Strait of Hormuz crisis.[/b]
“The United Kingdom convened 41 countries on Thursday to discuss plans to reopen the Strait, pinning the blame on Iran for holding the global economy “hostage” by hijacking the international shipping route. 
While not publicly addressed at the meeting, allies are deeply frustrated with Trump, who launched the operation in Iran on Feb. 28 without a plan to keep the Strait open, and without consulting the countries he is now telling to take charge of resolving the crisis. 
French President Emmanuel Macron has taken a hard line against the U.S. war against Iran, rejecting Trump’s pleas to European nations to join offensive operations to open the Strait. 
“They cannot then complain about not being supported in an operation they decided on their own. It is not our operation,” Macron told reporters on Thursday, on the sidelines of his visit to South Korea.”

[b]Austria bans US military planes from its airspace.[/b]
“Austria is rejecting a request from the U.S. to use its airspace for military flights related to the war against Iran, with the Austrian government reaffirming its neutral stance and separating itself from President Trump’s war. 
“We want nothing to do with Trump’s policy of chaos and his war, which will bring us the next energy crisis,” Austria’s Vice Chancellor Andi Babler wrote in a post on social platform X. “

[b]Iran’s war propaganda homes in on Trump with Lego memes.[/b]
“One shows a panicked Trump ordering an airstrike after reviewing the “Epstein File” alongside Satan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Another, a rap diss track, calls Trump a “loser” and accuses him of being Netanyahu’s “puppet” over images of stock market sell-offs, missile strikes and coffins.
Those and other messages out of Iran regularly reference Jeffrey Epstein, the late notorious sex offender and former Trump friend at the center of conspiracy theories that the president launched the Iran war to distract the public from headlines about releases of files related to the Epstein investigation.
The plain intent of Iran’s messaging is not just to project defiance and counter U.S. assessments of Tehran’s military weakness, but also to undermine Trump by homing in on some of his biggest political vulnerabilities.

[b]Trump gushes over his policies – ‘Thank you Mr. Tariff!’ – as desperate search continues for US pilot missing in Iran.[/b]
“Trump’s tone on Truth Social Saturday morning ranged from fuming about the media and leveling new threats against Iran, to jauntily celebrating his trade tariffs amid soaring gas prices. 
“THANK YOU MR. TARIFF!” he crowed in one post.
While he has been active on his social media platform, the president has kept a relatively low profile since reports of the missing U.S. airman broke on Friday, and the last time he spoke publicly was late Wednesday in an address to the nation about the war.”

[b]Trump’s VA killed a home loan program. Vets are now losing their homes because of it.[/b]
“More than 10,000 veterans lost their homes to foreclosure since May of last year, when the Trump administration shut down a key safety net in the VA home loan program, according to the latest industry data. That is the highest pace of foreclosures for VA loans in a decade.
Another 90,000 vets are heading toward foreclosure. This comes after a years-long debacle inside the Department of Veterans Affairs has whiplashed thousands of vets between various enacted and canceled programs and left many of them on the brink of losing their homes — often through no fault of their own.
…
The Trump administration was warned this would happen.”

[b]A Walmart-related recession indicator that's preceded the last 4 economic downturns is flashing red.[/b]
“Paulsen noted that the Walmart Recession Signal has seen a sharp increase leading up to the past four US downturns. So far this year, it's climbed about 28 basis points, likely due to economic anxiety surrounding the Iran war, he said.
"The WRS is increasingly advising caution about the US economy," Paulsen wrote. "My guess is the economy avoids a recession this year, but I am becoming more convinced that a significant US economic slowdown is unfolding," he added.”

[b]Bigotry among young conservatives has Republicans on edge.[/b]
“And online, Republicans have fretted about the rise of white-supremacist influencer Nick Fuentes, who courts disaffected young men and has summed up his views as, “Jews are running society, women need to shut the f--- up, Blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part, and we would live in paradise.” The College Republicans of America this month appointed a longtime fan of Fuentes as their political director.
Radicalization on the young right has set off a bitter debate in the GOP about how much Republicans should police their movement and how serious a threat its most extreme elements pose. ”

““In a recent interview on The Claman Countdown, Delta CEO Ed Bastian said the company is “beyond frustrated at the lack of leadership that is coming out of Congress.” Because of what he described as faltering leadership, Bastian argued that it would be inappropriate to continue extending privileges that allow lawmakers to bypass the very system they helped disrupt. “We want to make sure they understand and stand in line just like everybody else,” he said.”

[b]Even Republicans are frantic for Trump to 'shut up' about his ballroom: ex-GOP strategist.[/b]
“President Donald Trump's "obsession" with putting a massive ballroom onto the White House has become such an optics problem that even Republicans want him to stop talking about it, former GOP strategist Rick Wilson told MS NOW on Wednesday.
…
"I think Trump's in some real trouble on this because ... it's a perfect split-screen of, of out of touch. It's not just the corruption. It's that he's out of touch. He doesn't get it. And part of his shtick was always, I'm the guy that gets the middle class, I'm the guy that gets the working class, I'm your billionaire advocate. And it's just not true."

[b]Oracle’s Ellison, Trump crony, slashes 30,000 jobs with a cold 6 a.m. email.[/b]
“The layoffs are directly tied to Oracle’s aggressive and debt-heavy expansion into artificial intelligence infrastructure. According to analysis from TD Cowen, the job cuts are expected to free up between $8 billion and $10 billion in cash flow — money the company urgently needs to fund a massive buildout of AI data centers.
The financial picture surrounding that expansion is striking. Oracle has taken on $58 billion in new debt within just two months. Its stock has lost more than half its value since reaching a peak in September 2025. Multiple U.S. banks have reportedly stepped back from financing some of its data center projects. All of this is happening even as the company posted a 95% jump in net income — reaching $6.13 billion — last quarter.”

“The move comes amid an ongoing controversy. The National Grocers Association (NGA), which represents more than 21,500 independent grocery retailers, wholesales and suppliers, is requesting that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) address market manipulation “by dominant national grocery retail power buyers, especially Walmart.”

[b]Suit asks court to force Trump administration to use 'The Kennedy Center' name.[/b]
“In the filing, Beatty’s attorneys wrote: “Can the Board of the Kennedy Center — in direct contradiction of the governing statutes — rename this sacred memorial to John F. Kennedy after President Donald J. Trump? The answer is, unequivocally, ‘no.’ By renaming the Center — in violation of the law — Defendants have breached the terms of the trust and their most basic fiduciary obligations as trustees. Shortly after President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, Congress designated the Kennedy Center as the ‘sole national memorial to the late’ President in the nation’s capital.”

[b]Not just the base: Democrats in recent elections are flipping independent and Republican votes.[/b]
“Two special election victories in Florida provided more evidence that the Democratic success in elections since Donald Trump’s return to the White House rests not just on a motivated base but also on winning over Republicans and independents.
More registered Republicans than registered Democrats voted in two special elections on March 24, according to turnout data from election officials. In state House District 87, the district including Mar-a-Lago that was flipped by Democrat Emily Gregory, voter turnout was 46% Republican to 36% Democrat. In state Senate District 14, Democrat Brian Nathan finished ahead in a race with 46% GOP turnout versus 37% Democrat.”

“We need to be sad about Trump,” he continued. “This is not funny. This is not good. But he’s gone, and that’s it. And all the people rallied around him, you can see (Pete) Hegseth’s freaked out. You can see the press secretary is freaked out. They’re being loyal. They think it’s the lesser of two evils and OK. But Trump needs an intervention. Needs to take some time off. We need to pray for Trump and that the Holy Spirit takes his heart and loosens him from whatever evil control he is under, and I’m being serious. I think that’s the answer. We need to pray for President Trump.”
