Trump saying Gavin Newsom suffers from a mental disability and that he doesn't want a president to have a cognitive deficiency, followed by a montage of Trump with a very obvious mental disability and cognitive deficiency.

The AJC reports that Trump will order DHS to pay TSA workers. So, he could've done this the whole time.

Trump praised the CNN poll that said he has 100% support from MAGA. But the CNN polls are the worst polls. Then slams the Fox News polls, and everyone laughs awkwardly.

CPAC attendee: He is the president of peace. When this gets taken care of, it's going to be peace. I'm on Truth Social, that's the only social media I do... he's got a plan. He's a genius. And we trust President Trump.

Barbara Boxer: Democrats... are focused on the problems of the American people brought on by Donald Trump and the Republicans. I'll give you a statistic... the last year of Joe Biden, there were 2.2 million jobs created in 2024. In Trump's first year, 181,000 jobs.

Brianna Keilar: When you were Ohio Secretary of State and you could vote using a utility bill, bank statement or government check, that was a fair, safe and secure election. Jon Husted: And we had fraud. Keilar: There were 29 cases... that went through the full process.

Brianna Keilar: You were Ohio Secretary of State for eight years. Would you agree that you ran safe and secure elections? Jon Husted: Of course we did. Keilar: You could use a utility bill, or a bank statement, or a government check as an acceptable form of ID, so why is that not acceptable now?

Jon Husted just said on CNN that Georgia already has voter ID laws "that worked well."

Watch Jon Husted get owned by Brianna Keilar for lying about being the Secretary of State when the voter ID law passed in Ohio. He also gets called out that the Ohio law is "significantly more lax than the SAVE Act requirements."

Jon Husted just debunked what Georgia Republicans have been lying about for years. "States across our country have shown that you can simultaneously make it easy to vote and hard to cheat. Georgia, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, and my home state of Ohio have photo ID requirements."

Alex Padilla: This bill would also force states to hand over to DHS the sensitive information of every voter in America. More than half a dozen states led by Republicans are refusing to comply with the administration's demand that they hand over their voter rolls. This is a voter suppression bill.

Alex Padilla: This so-called voter ID amendment would also impose new requirements on the tens of millions of Americans who choose or rely on voting by mail... and in case you missed it, President Trump once again voted by mail in the special election in Florida.

Alex Padilla on SAVE Act: What this bill would do... is block common forms of IDs. Veterans IDs. Veteran service members can't use that ID after their service and sacrifice to our nation. Sorry, that's not enough to exercise your right to vote.

Americans can't afford food or rent, we're in a war with Iran, Republicans want to suppress your vote in November, and Trump is talking about... Sharpies.

Trump: I did a mail-in ballot for elections in Florida because I felt I should be here... Q: You were in Palm Beach the last few weekends. TRUMP: That's right. And I decided that I was going to vote by mail-in ballot because I couldn't be there, because I had a lot of different things.

Finally something Democrats and Republicans can agree on. Everyone hates Mark Zuckerberg.

Tammy Duckworth: One of the things that Donald Trump wants to negotiate with Iran is an open Straits of Hormuz. Guess what? The Straits of Hormuz was open before he launched the attack. With the $200 billion that Trump wants, we could actually fund free universal preschool for four-year-olds.

Excellent. No notes.

Tom Nichols: I've described the president as a gambler who's chasing a bad bet. Now he's going to keep investing more money, and he's going to up his bat, and he's going to stay at the table until something pays off. That's certainly not the way to run a war.

Tom Nichols: The president doesn't have a grasp of reality; he's not stable. There's something not right here. He started a war, he can't get out of it, and he doesn't know where to turn. He's getting a very filtered view of reality. They're showing him heroic montages every morning. That's bonkers.

Dan Goldman: It is the Republicans who have voted down TSA funding over and over again. You don't have to take my word for it. Let's listen to Senator Kennedy on Fox News. Kennedy: We submitted that to President Trump. He said, 'No deals with the Democrats.' Goldman: No deals with the Democrats.

Delia Ramirez: Some of my colleagues would like to say that there's no correlation between the administration and the Heritage Foundation's plan. Didn't DHS announce on March 7th, 2025, that DHS was ending collective bargaining for TSA officers? McNeill: Yes, it did.

Seth Magaziner at DHS Funding Hearing: I'd like to remind everyone why we are here. Please play the video. *Plays an absolutely brutal video montage*

Lou Correa with a massive W: Do you believe we should end this shutdown as quickly as possible? *They all answer yes* Apparently, President Trump disagrees with you. He said on Monday that Republicans should stop negotiating with Democrats and instead focus on passing his voter legislation.

Q: President Trump has railed against mail-in voting as rigged, he said it's a form of cheating as recently as Monday... but in yesterday's special election in Florida, he voted by mail. How do you square those two statements? Mike Johnson doesn't answer the question.

Harry Enten: "There is no floor for Donald Trump... Donald Trump is just so freaking unpopular." Quinnipiac -20 points. Yahoo/YouGov -21 points. Verasight -23 points. Ipsos -26 points. All of these are term-two record lows. Foreign policy approval rating hits a term-two low at -27 points.

Harry Enten: How delicious for Democrats this morning. Florida's 87th district, in 2024 Donald Trump won it by 11 points. We got Gregory, winning it by two points. When a party outperforms a special elections in midterm cycles, 5 out of 5 times that same party went on to win the US House.

Trump in 2019: We're not looking for regime change. March 3: Do you want to see regime change in Iran? Trump: No. March 23: There'll be a form of regime change. March 24: We have regime change.

CNN: A jury in New Mexico has just found that Meta violated the law in failing to warn users about dangers on its platforms and failing to protect children from sexual predators. They were ordered to pay $375 million.

Dick Durbin: What's the future of the FBI? Christopher O'Leary: What the FBI deserves and needs is an unbiased leader, somebody with investigative and operational experience. Unfortunately, I do not see that in the current director. The country is less safe under his leadership.

Dick Durbin with a dig at Ted Cruz: This hearing will not help a single person other than Donald Trump, and the Republican majority should do better for their constituents. A senator from Texas should know a dead horse when he sees one. This hearing is an attempt to throttle a dead horse to a gallop

Sheldon Whitehouse: Jeffrey Clark, who worked at DOJ at the time, tried to convince the Department of Justice leadership to send a letter to try to overturn the election results in Georgia. President Trump almost made him acting Attorney General.

Same interview: Ron Johnson claims it's "Democrats who have caused this shutdown," and Martha MacCallum contradicts him 30 seconds later by admitting it's Trump who "doesn't want that to happen."

This is completely mental and designed for an audience of one. Paul Clement: "Real or perceived, it doesn't make a difference because even perceptions of fraud are going to make a huge difference in undermining public confidence in the elections... the losers are not going to accept that result."

Here's Mississippi Solicitor General Scott Stewart telling SCOTUS that none of the RNC attorneys cited any cases of election fraud. "It's notable that my friends with the United States sounded the anti-fraud theme; they haven't cited a single example of fraud from post-election ballot receipts."

Q: Whose idea was that to put ICE at the airport? Trump: Mine. That was like the paper clip. 182 years ago, a man discovered the paper clip. It was so simple... ICE was my idea. His brain is mush.

John Oliver on Trump's Iran war: Hegseth insists 'we're winning decisively,' but reality looks like an ongoing war, rising gas prices, toxic fallout, and an oil blockade at the Strait of Hormuz.

John Oliver: Trump keeps declaring 'victory' while the war clearly isn't over, and the Pentagon is seeking billions more. "The lies are getting pretty flagrant here, even by this president's standards."

John Oliver rips into Pete Sessions for his absurd redefinition of 'boots on the ground' because troops would not be 'in cities.'

Senator Foghorn Leghorn has a plan: I would accept the Democrats' offer to open up everything except ICE and DHS. And then the very next day, I would pass a reconciliation bill which crafts a budget for ICE. We can do it without any Democratic votes

😆

Iranian media released this animation to troll Trump, titled “Lord of the Straits.”

Harry Enten: Trump will or is making you financially worse? Just 18% say better. Among independents, only 13% say better. "This puts Trump in historic company you don't want to be. He's last in the pack among 21st century presidents. Twice as bad as Barack Obama."

Dave McCormick: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a problem. We have a problem with voter confidence. We have a problem with voter integrity. Yeah, we have a problem because your Cult leader can't accept he lost the 2020 election.

Mike Lee: The information should be freely flowing on a very regular basis between the states to the Department of Homeland Security. They should be running their voter roll data through the Safe database so they can make sure that those who are registering to vote are citizens of the U.S.

This is wild. Senate debate was shut down just now because, in the middle of John Kennedy's speech, Brian Schatz objected and then immediately left the chamber. So now nobody knows what to do. We are being governed by incompetent idiots.

The Senate voted 54-37 to limit debate and advance Markwayne Mullin to be DHS Secretary.

Mike Lee admits that the SAVE Act can't pass in its current form and tips his hand at the Republican strategy: We can have a few weeks to debate it... and members grow exhausted over time, and with that exhaustion, we'll find ways of achieving consensus. This will pass if we give it enough time.
