A late-night Senate move sparks outrage inside the Republican Party—accusations of betrayal, backroom deals, and a fight over border security funding. Did GOP leadership just hand Democrats a political win? EPISODE SUMMARY: A political firestorm is erupting in Washington after a controversial overnight Senate maneuver involving John Thune and Chuck Schumer. The move, which critics say effectively stripped additional funding from border enforcement agencies like ICE and Customs and Border Protection, has triggered backlash—especially among House Republicans. At the center of the controversy: a spending package passed in the early morning hours without coordination with House leadership, including Mike Johnson. Critics argue the strategy was designed to shift blame for a potential government shutdown onto House Republicans, while shielding Senate Democrats politically. While core funding for the Department of Homeland Security remains intact through 2029, this dispute centers on billions in supplemental funding—resources that support expanded enforcement operations, logistics, and infrastructure. House GOP leaders, including Tom Emmer, are calling the move dangerous and unprecedented, warning it could set a long-term precedent for dismantling key components of federal agencies through piecemeal funding cuts. Meanwhile, the broader debate exposes a deep divide within the Republican Party itself—between those pushing aggressive border enforcement and others accused of quietly aligning with more open-border policies. This episode unpacks: What really happened in the Senate overnight Why House Republicans are furious The difference between “core” and “supplemental” ICE funding The growing divide inside the GOP What this means for border policy moving forward SEGMENTS: The 3AM Senate Move Explained ICE Funding: What Was Actually Cut?

Are Democrats stuck on optics instead of results? From party strategists fretting over the “right” candidate to jaw-dropping claims about Christianity, abortion, and policy failures, this episode exposes the internal panic over winning the next election. Meanwhile, the border crisis and radical immigration policies loom large—yet party insiders think a straight, white Christian male can fix everything. It's politics, WTF-style. ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY This episode dives into the Democrats' secret internal debates about winning the presidency in 2026—or so they think. Key moments include: Party strategists whispering: “We may need a straight white Christian male to win.” Former first lady Michelle Obama fueling doubts about female candidates' electability. Explosive commentary on how policies, not diversity, may be the real problem. Open borders, defunding ICE and Customs, and the absurdity of thinking optics alone will satisfy voters. Questionable claims about Christianity, abortion, and internal party faith debates. Bottom line: The conversation is wild, the policies are crazier, and the Democrats' strategy might just be a WTF moment in itself.

Do you ever stop to consider all the things that go missing from the news cycle? If you listen to this show, you know I reflect often. Because I'm fascinated at how things move in and out of it.Before I deal with a few older items, let's look at Iran.Latest polling says Trump is at worst approval and it's based on war with Iran.For example, where is E. Jean Carroll? This woman was all the rage when Democrats targeted Trump. Google her and you find NOTHING new. Consider all the aspersions the Left casted against Trump, and what are the outcomes?Why has there been almost no mention of Trump as a rapist?And what of his indictments? What's the magic number? 34? When is the last time you heard mention of tariffs? Hardly a discussion around them. Remember the SCOTUS ruling that was going to scuttle the program?Speaking of SCOTUS, how about this story for the wayback machine…the SCOTUS leaker[X] SB – John SolomonUS intercepted conversations of Ukraine conspiring with USAID routed and moved into Biden's campaign.I feel like I'm playing what's that song?Here's one that I find really intriguing.Why is there no discussion of the man who supposedly attacked Ilhan Omar?Let's have more fun and look at the Democrats' skullduggery…Let's discuss the TSA shutdown. How's that working out for Democrats.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Can the Democrats put an end to Trump & his MAGA cult?Nick Cohen talks to leading U.S. commentator and conservative dissident Charlie Sykes about the continuing collapse of the U.S. Republic under the corruption, authoritarianism and incompetence of the Trump-MAGA regime. Nick asks Charlie the question increasing numbers of people are asking, "Can Democrats save the U.S. from becoming a despotic regime permanently controlled by Trump's MAGA cult?"Trump is desperately trying to get his so-called "Save America Act" passed through Congress and the Senate ahead of the midterm elections in November. The Act is widely seen as a brazen attempt by an unstable and rapidly ageing man to rig future elections to the Republicans' advantage by putting major obstacles in the way of voters' ability to vote. Meanwhile, the media, civic society and important institutions are under relentless assault by Trump and his MAGA minions. Trump's illegal tariffs are helping to impoverish many Americans - and billions more around the world - while his illegal and increasingly catastrophic war threatens to plunge the global economy into chaos and recession. His sinister support for Vladimir Putin not only threatens Ukraine but the security of the rest if Europe.Nick asks Charlie Sykes, "Can the Democrats finally get their act together and end Trump's increasingly toxic tyranny before it's too late?"Read all about it!Charlie Sykes @SykesCharlie is a leading highly respected United States conservative political commentator who was formerly editor-in-chief and founder of the highly influential website The Bulwark.

President Donald Trump will sign an order instructing the Department of Homeland Security to pay Transportation Security Administration officers during the partial government shutdown, he announced Thursday, though it is unclear where the money is coming from and what authority Trump will use to enact the order. KEY FACTS Trump said in a Truth Social post he will sign an order instructing Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin “to immediately pay our TSA Agents.” The president blamed Democrats for the lapse in pay for agents, blasting their demands for increased restrictions on Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Trump did not elaborate where the money to pay TSA agents would come from. More than 450 TSA officers have quit their jobs amid the shutdown after not receiving pay. BIG NUMBER Nearly $1 billion. That is how much money in payroll has not been paid to TSA agents in a timely manner this fiscal year, according to a Wednesday testimony from Ha Nguyen McNeill, a senior administrator for the TSA. Employees of the agency have gone without pay for about 40 days during the partial government shutdown. KEY BACKGROUND At the heart of the Department of Homeland Security shutdown and accompanying disorder at some major airports across the U.S. is disagreements over the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act stuck in the Senate. The measure proposes making changes to the voting process in the U.S. and includes a requirement for voter identification. Democrats have pushed back on the legislation for weeks, seeking to implement guardrails on ICE operations after federal agents killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti amid January protests in Minnesota. Democrats have countered Republican proposals with offers that include pay for TSA agents, but those measures have failed to gain traction. In the meantime, TSA officers have quit their jobs and called out of work at high rates while passengers at airports like Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport have been stifled with hours-long security wait times.

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – I argue that Democratic policies prioritize undocumented immigrants over American citizens, pointing to violent crimes and sanctuary city decisions as evidence. I contend these choices endanger communities, undermine law enforcement, and ignore victims. I call for stronger border enforcement, mass deportations, and an America First approach to restore safety and accountability...

This week on Face the Nation, continued conflicting messages out of the White House when it comes to the war against Iran and why Americans are increasingly bearing the brunt of Washington's actions, or inactions. It's a spectacular spring in the nation's capital, but Congress has fled the city after showing they're incapable of consensus when it comes to funding the Homeland Security department.   President Trump says he'll use other means to pay TSA officers until an agreement is reached, but will that be enough to ease the long security lines at some of the country's busiest airports while the House and Senate are out of town for the next two weeks? We'll address the challenges to DHS with White House Border Czar Tom Homan, plus we'll talk with the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee Jim Himes. Then, we'll check in with former Surgeon General Jerome Adams, about the alarming spread of measles and the impact of social media on children.

Andy Beshear is the most popular Democratic governor in the country – in a state Donald Trump won by more than 30 points in 2024. He explains why he believes a President JD Vance could be “more damaging than Trump”, lays out his playbook for winning back voters in Trump country, and calls out the litmus test he thinks Democrats should abandon. Can a Democrat who wins in deep-red Kentucky translate that success nationally? Beshear argues why someone like him may have an advantage at the top of the Democratic ticket in 2028.

This week we spoke with AC and E, two members of the DFW Support Committee about the recently finished federal trial for 9 defendants in the terrorism case around the Prairieland Detention Center noise demo in July of 2025. To recap the case, in the midst of increased racist and nativist rhetoric, ICE and CBP snatch squad deployments ripping apart communities across the US in the first year of Trump 2.0, and the buildup of immigrant rendition and imprisonment in the southwest there was a July 4th noise demonstration called for to happen outside the infamous Prairieland Detention Center outside Alvarado, Texas. During the protest, meant to be loud enough for people held there to hear that they were not forgotten, participants used bullhorns, shouted, shot off fireworks and painted slogans. In response the staff called the Alvarado police and upon arrival the cop drew his weapon and aimed at dispersing protestors. At this point the state narrative and that of the defendants diverge: on the one hand the state argues that this whole event was a planned ambush for law enforcement by a north Texas Antifa terrorist cell in black bloc meant to draw police into a fight and then liberate the prison; on the other side the defendants claim the event was escalated to targeted gunfire by defendant Song meant to deter deadly violence by the cop and allow the crowd to disperse without bloodshed. For the hour, you'll hear folks from DFW Defense Committee talking about what evidence and arguments were presented in court, what evidence and arguments were suppressed, the strange decisions of the judge in jury selection, venue and other elements effecting the ability of those facing decades in prison to mount and defense and where we're at now with the case. This case cannot be disconnected from the Trump administration's call to name Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, to tie in projects and movements they consider to be enemies (ranging from Democrats to civil liberties groups, queer folk and immigrants rights advocates to anti-fascists, communists and anarchists and everyone in between) with the goal, some speculate, of more fully capturing the federal government under a white, christian nationalist and fascist regime.

For decades, Japan has been politely sitting at the geopolitical dinner table, speaking only when spoken to, contributing economically while whispering apologies into the void like a country stuck in an eternal customer service loop.Then, in walked Donald Trump, who does not do quiet reverence the way diplomats prefer. He does not tiptoe around history as if it might explode underfoot. Instead, he treats it like a battle scar. Something you acknowledge, maybe even joke about, because the alternative is letting it define you forever.And in one offhand quip about not tipping off the enemy, referencing Pearl Harbor attack, he did something extraordinary.

Because for them, history is not something to be processed and integrated. It is a sacred museum where everything must remain frozen behind velvet ropes, accompanied by hushed tones and pre-approved emotional reactions.

Cattle Industry News Nebraska Fire Relief After more than 800,000 acres have burned in Nebraska wildfires, livestock producers are now searching for places to graze their animals. The Nebraska Cattlemen's Association says there are two main options — both showing how neighbors are stepping up to help. One option is feeding cattle hay. Donations are arriving by the truckload, but hay can still be expensive. The second option is a free online tool called the Nebraska Grazing Exchange. It connects ranchers who need land with farmers who have pasture available. People who want to help can sign up, list what they can offer, and connect directly with ranchers in need. Once a match is made, the next step is moving the animals to that land. Laura Field, Executive Vice President of Nebraska Cattlemen, says support has been overwhelming. She says tough times like this bring out the best in the agriculture community. Field says some ranchers have lost up to 70 or 80 percent of their summer grazing land, and may need to move cattle to entirely different regions — even out of state. But she says help is coming from all directions — across the country. Field also says she doesn't expect long-term economic damage. She says Nebraska's beef industry is strong and resilient, and will weather this challenge. While moving cattle — also known as rotational grazing — isn't new, the situation right now is complicated. Field says burned areas are filled with damaged equipment like fencing, water systems, and other infrastructure. She says groups are working with state and federal partners to match needs with resources and get supplies where they're needed most. As for concerns about ranchers leaving the state, Field says the grass will grow back — and the cattle will return. The Nebraska Department of Agriculture adds that grazing can actually help prevent future wildfires by reducing dry plant material. Nebraska Grazing Exchange   References: https://www.klkntv.com/online-tool-connects-farmers-with-available-land-to-cattle-ranchers-in-need-of-grazing-area-after-wildfires/   Global Meat Trade & Demand A series of market-moving events, including a strike at a JBS beef plant, geopolitical tensions involving Iran, shifting oil prices and tariff uncertainty, have yet to derail strong beef demand, as wholesale prices continued to climb, according to analysis by Drovers and Sterling Marketing Profit Tracker. Market fundamentals have shifted in recent weeks. Lower fed cattle prices combined with higher boxed beef values improved packer margins while pressuring feedlots. For the week ending March 14, packer margins were estimated at a loss of $54.17 per head, narrowing from deeper losses in prior weeks. The beef cutout rose to $390.66 per cwt. Feedlot margins turned negative, estimated at a loss of $48.79 per head. Elevated breakevens continue to  pressure feedlots despite strong demand. Hamburger prices on restaurant menus are 14% higher in the last three years, but beef production costs jumped 32% since January 2023, according to a new report from food industry intelligence firm,  Datassential. Burger inflation is roughly in line with broader restaurant prices, despite the effects of chronically tight beef supplies. Food away from home — which approximates all food service including dine-in, takeout and delivery — rose 4% in 2025 and is 13% higher since January 2023, according to the federal government's Consumer Price Index. The Datassential report pointed out that restaurant pricing strategy can keep prices on popular items in check to avoid hurting turnover, while causing cost burdens to be spread throughout the operation.

In recent months, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has floated legislation aimed at restructuring the industry, while President Donald Trump has ordered the Department of Justice to investigate major beef packers for potential antitrust violations. The unusual bipartisan convergence reflects mounting political pressure to address food affordability, even as economists and industry leaders say the fundamental driver of high beef prices lies elsewhere. The renewed focus on meatpacker consolidation follows years of debate over the market dominance of the so-called “Big Four” beef packers (JBS, Tyson Foods, Cargill and National Beef), which together handle roughly 80% of U.S. cattle slaughter. Trump last fall directed the DOJ to investigate whether large packers engaged in “Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation,” while several Republican lawmakers voiced support for stronger antitrust enforcement. At the same time, Schumer and other Democrats are preparing legislation that would attempt to curb consolidation across the food system, including potentially forcing meat companies to focus on a single protein.   Reference: https://meatingplace.com/in-depth-meatpacker-consolidation-back-in-washingtons-crosshairs/?utm_source=omeda&utm_medium=email&utm_cid=1103020073&utm_campaign=MTGMCD260320014&utm_date=20260321-0630   Florida Ban On Lab-Grown Meat Update Florida's ban on cultivated meat will stay in place after a federal appeals court upheld the law in a ruling released Monday. The case was brought by Upside Foods, a California company that produces lab-grown chicken, after the law took effect in July of 2024. A three-judge panel on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the ban does not conflict with federal laws regulating traditional poultry. The court said the state law doesn't control how the product is made — only whether it can be sold — meaning federal law does not override it. The decision also upholds an earlier ruling from a federal district court that dismissed the case. Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, who supported the law, called the ruling a win for farmers and consumers. Governor Ron DeSantis, who signed the bill, has also defended the measure, saying it protects Florida agriculture from what he calls “lab-grown alternatives.” Florida was the first state to pass a ban on cultivated meat. Since then, several others — including Alabama, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, and Texas — have followed. The bans come as the lab-grown meat industry is still in its early stages. The Food and Drug Administration first approved cultivated meat for sale in 2022. Supporters of the industry argue these state laws could slow innovation, cost jobs, and limit competition. It's not yet clear if Upside Foods plans to appeal the ruling.

Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) is facing expulsion, after a House Ethics Subcommittee found her guilty of misappropriating millions of dollars in COVID Aid funds to her campaign. She has maintained her innocence however, and a 90-day House “blackout period” ahead of midterms could throw a wrench into the punitive process. FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins the Rundown to share the latest details of the investigation, explaining the likelihood of an expulsion and the challenges the case poses to Congressional Democrats.

On this episode of the South Carolina Lede for March 28, 2026: we look at two other candidates who have jumped in the governor's race, including a Democrat; the first SCGOP governor's debate is next week—but not everyone will be on stage; we look at some of the major legislative moves this week, including the so-called Bathroom Bill that is now on its way to the Governor's desk; and more!

Joe Concha gives a fiery critique of contemporary liberal governance while championing populist, conservative values. Concha navigates a wide array of topics, beginning with a legislative deadlock over border security and government funding, specifically targeting Democrats and moderate Republicans for allegedly undermining ICE and DHS enforcement. The narrative shifts frequently between policy and personality, juxtaposing the legal and personal struggles of Tiger Woods against the "Shakespearean tragedy" of self-destruction. Throughout the show, Concha employs a combative tone to disparage figures like AOC, Gavin Newsom, and Candace Owens, whom he characterizes as out-of-touch elites or radical opportunists.

Tara fills in for Mike and lays out what she argues is the bigger picture behind recent political fights, pointing to statements from figures like Ilhan Omar and Pramila Jayapal as evidence of a broader vision that goes far beyond short-term policy battles—specifically, calls to dismantle agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, ICE, and Customs and Border Protection. She frames these positions as a long-term roadmap rather than negotiation tactics, warning that many Americans may not fully grasp the implications, and argues that messaging failures on the Republican side are allowing these ideas to go largely unchallenged. The conversation expands into concerns about government power, surveillance, and accountability, highlighting remarks from Ted Cruz about federal overreach, while ultimately emphasizing what she sees as a critical need for clearer communication and public awareness about the direction of national policy debates.

Democratic senators are proposing plans that would drastically reduce taxes on the middle and upper middle class. Tax cuts are always popular with the people who receive them - but are they a good idea?

Who is the leader of the party?Not the ceremonial answer. Not the press-release answer. The actual answer. Nobody.And what makes that answer so deliciously awkward is that it isn't even controversial. It's just… obvious. The party that once orbited figures like Bill Clinton or Barack Obama now resembles a group project where nobody wants to take the lead but everyone insists they're the smartest person in the room.Let's talk about the ghosts first.Joe Biden is less a political figure now and more a museum exhibit that occasionally blinks. Democrats still wheel him out rhetorically when it's convenient, but the energy behind that effort feels like trying to reboot a flip phone in the age of quantum computing. And then there's Kamala Harris, who, despite suffering a political defeat so decisive it practically came with its own soundtrack, is still treated by party insiders like a “top-tier option.” That's not confidence. That's denial wearing a pantsuit.The rest of the bench doesn't exactly inspire confidence either.Gavin Newsom, once hyped as the slick-haired savior of progressive politics, now feels like a canceled pilot episode. His national appeal peaked somewhere between French Laundry dinners and California's ongoing audition for a dystopian documentary. The idea of a Newsom presidential run in 2028 has all the excitement of reheated coffee, and about the same aftertaste. Pair him with any running mate and you've got a political version of Beavis and Butthead, minus the self-awareness.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Now I'm no fan of TSA, as I find them useless. But ICE is their real target.And you know why. ICE represents a real threat to Democrats. The more effective ICE is, the fewer votes Democrats have.As for TSA, Democrats believe that travelers will blame Trump for their delays. The 3rd time in six months Democrats have made TSA work without pay.Airports are setting up food drives for TSA. And now Elon Musk has offered to pay them…[X] SB – Mamdani on ICEThe same is true with gasoline, as Democrats think they can make hay with the price of gas…Already Democrats are saying Trump broke his promise not to raise gas prices. Do you know how hard you have to search for a lifeline to blame Trump for gas prices going back up to Biden levels?But this is their new battle cry.ICE is MEANGas is BACK TO BIDEN LEVELS. Trump broke his promise.In case you haven't noticed, Leftist media is piling on Trump and MAGA. Late night comedians are still at it, as Kimmel quipped about Trump wanting $200B for the war effort, saying give Trump $100B to go away.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

March 28, 2026; 7am:  Last night, the House of Representatives passed a short-term Republican proposal to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security after rejecting a deal passed unanimously by the Senate that would have funded most of DHS, except ICE. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says the House GOP bill is dead on arrival, and amid the standoff, President Trump signed an executive order to pay TSA workers as soon as Monday.

A new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that a large majority of Americans believe the recently released files connected to Jeffrey Epstein reveal a broader pattern in which wealthy and powerful figures in the United States are rarely held accountable for their actions. About 69% of respondents said the statement that the Epstein files “show that powerful people in the U.S. are rarely held accountable” reflected their views very or extremely well, and another 17% agreed somewhat. This sentiment cut across party lines, with more than 80% of both Republicans and Democrats saying the statement described their thinking at least somewhat well. The poll, conducted online with 1,117 U.S. adults and a 3-point margin of error, came shortly after the U.S. Justice Department released millions of pages of records showing Epstein's ties to prominent figures in politics, business, finance and academia.While some corporate leaders have resigned in the wake of the disclosures, others who had contact with Epstein remain in powerful posts, and individuals such as the Trump administration's Commerce Secretary and health official Dr. Mehmet Oz are noted in the documents without being accused of crimes. The issue remains politically charged: a significant portion of Republicans (67%) said it's time for the country to move on from talking about the Epstein files, compared with only 21% of Democrats. The poll reflects widespread skepticism about elite accountability and highlights partisan differences over how long the controversy should continue to figure in public debate.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Americans believe Epstein files show the powerful get a pass, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds | Reuters

Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff chops it up with Dropkick Murphys fiery and beloved frontman Ken Casey for a high-energy, no-BS conversation about patriotism, protest, and pushing back on authoritarianism at home and abroad. From Red Sox–Yankees trash talk and World Series rings to Ukraine, ICE, Iran and Trump, Ken explains why the band has spent 30 years standing with workers, veterans, cops, firefighters and immigrants—and why staying loud now is a moral obligation, not a branding choice.

Ken breaks down the power of the No Kings protests happening nationwide this weekend, the possibility of a general strike, and what real patriotism looks like when billionaires, racists and would‑be kings are calling the shots. And, if the “No Kings” protests need a new name.  They also go deep and keep it real on parenting through dark times, the mental health toll of nonstop crises, the healing power of community at shows and in the streets—and if Ken will ever run for office.
