SAVE America Act is 'No. 1 priority,' Trump tells Republicans The president focused on an elections bill as cost-of-living concerns weigh on the midterms.

War Is Not a Meme War requires strategy, discipline, and clarity. Instead we’re getting memes, trolling, and a mission that still hasn’t been explained.

America’s military belongs to the American people — not Donald Trump.

In a war with Iran, the country deserves more than memes and shifting talking points.

We deserve a clear mission.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

I thought Rubio knew better than this. To be pictured with that traitor is a travesty; he should be ashamed.

This is the man Senators who present themselves as serious human beings are going to rubber stamp into the office of Director of Homeland Security. Show some self-respect and some love of country and vote no.

Gonzales is out in Texas, and Dems see a chance to beat ‘The AKGuy’ Brandon Herrera’s controversial online presence and hardline politics could open another opportunity for House Democrats in a deep-red district.

www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
“After Gonzales dropped out of the race on Thursday night, the Democratic-aligned House Majority PAC pumped out a barrage of clips of Herrera podcasts including one where he marches and fires a gun overlaid with the German song “Erika” associated with Nazi Germany.

That’s a farce! They should be ashamed of themselves for being complicit in helping Donald Trump attempt to burn our representative-democracy to the ground.

Mojtaba Khamenei, son of slain ayatollah, named Iran’s supreme leader Though he has never held office, Khamenei has long wielded behind-the-scenes influence in governing affairs.

www.politico.com/news/2026/03...
“Iran has named Mojtaba Khamenei, the son of the former Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as its supreme leader — a move that suggests a push for stability as the Islamic Republic navigates the most significant threat to its survival in its nearly 50 years.”

ALFORD: We're not doing the drop boxes, which led to a lot of mistrust during the 2020 election


BORIS SANCHEZ: Well, a lot of that mistrust was sewn by the president, who made repeated false claims about widespread election fraud when there was none

There’s only 1 person in Congress who doesn’t trade stocks, doesn’t take corporate PAC money, and has a public schedule. That’s me. And it should be the standard.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff

The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items

When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"

Ossoff: "This is a seismic event. This should have people across the country absolutely shook. This is a huge deal. This is an FBI raid on the Fulton County Elections office ... This is a shot across the bow at the midterm elections. He tried to steal power when he lost it in 2020."

So very true. Gabbard never met an anti-American authoritarian leader-somewhere in the world- she didn’t automatically become a sycophant to. She’s pathetic.
