Month: March 2026

President Trump demanded that Senate Republicans get tough and nuke the filibuster, noting that RINO Senate Leader John Thune needs to actually lead and whip up the votes on Sunday evening. 

While speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Sunday, Trump went off on the Democrats, calling them “sick” and likening them to terrorists for their attempts to defund ICE and protect illegal aliens.

When asked about the garbage funding bill that Senate Republicans passed in the middle of the night to reopen the government without funding for ICE, Trump said, “It’s a shame” and that Senate Republicans are “playing it too soft” by failing to take necessary action. “They should terminate the filibuster, and they should vote,” Trump said.

“Terminate the filibuster, just vote, and you’ll get everything you want.”

Trump was further asked to respond to John Thune’s claims that they don’t have enough votes to terminate the filibuster, and he said, “Well, he’s only a couple of votes short, but that’s what being a leader is.” Still, Trump refused to condemn Thune, telling reporters, “I like him so much. He’s a high-quality person.”

WATCH:

Reporter: Starts being having very good meetings, both directly and indirectly. And I think we’re getting a lot of very important Were you caught off guard when the Senate passed the DHS funding bill?

Trump: It’s a shame. They should really just go to a filibuster. They should terminate the filibuster, and they should vote. That’s what I think. I think the Senate is playing it too soft. The Republicans are wonderful people, but we’re dealing with very sick individuals. The Democrats are sick. There’s something wrong. They’re like terrorists, and we have to protect our country, we have to protect our border, have to protect our wall. If it was up to them, they’d open up the wall, they’d let millions of people pour into our country again, and we’ve all been through that. And I don’t care if you’re liberal or conservative, what we have now is we have a beautiful, closed border.

We’re getting murders out of our country that Biden let in, the administration, the Democrats. We’re getting the drug lords out of our country, we’re bringing them back to other countries where they came from, from all over the world, we have great crime numbers, despite the fact that they let in 25 million people, and we’re focused on the bad ones, the ones that came in. We’ll work on something. But we have to get the killers out. We have to get the drug dealers out. We have to get the criminally insane. We have people that are criminally insane. They are unbelievably violent people that come out of insane asylums. The Democrats want them protected. I want them out. They have to be out. You can’t have a country if they’re here.

Reporter: Leader Thune told me that they do not have the votes to terminate the filibuster. How will you get around that?

Trump: I know, but that’s part of being a leader. You have to get the votes.

Reporter: Do you have confidence in Leader Thune?

Trump: I mean, I like him so much. He’s a high-quality person, and he told me the same thing: “We don’t have the votes.” Well, he’s only a couple of votes short, but that’s what being a leader is. You have to get the votes. You have to get the votes, and those people will not be able to withstand the onslaught because Republicans and the country want it. You know, it’s polling at 87%, voter ID. Think of it. We’re talking about Save America, and it’s not the SAVE Act. It’s SAVE America Act because it’s saving America. SAVE act, nobody knows what it’s saving. It’s the SAVE America Act.

And you have to have it. You have to have it, the SAVE AMERICA Act, voter ID, all these things, proof of citizenship. It’s an 87% issue with all voters, including Democrats! The only ones that don’t want it are Schumer and these corrupt Democrat leaders because it will not give them the ability to cheat in an election. Look, why wouldn’t you want voter ID? There’s not a reason in the world you wouldn’t want it, except to cheat. And if they don’t cheat, their policy is so bad, they’ll never win another election.

Thune now faces calls for his removal as Senate Leader.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) went off on Thune over his failure to reopen the government or pass the SAVE America Act.

“You, as a member of the media, ought to be disgusted to the fact they passed that thing at 2:25 in the morning, and left all the other senators kind of hanging,” Burchett told Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich, slamming Thune for cutting a deal with Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) tore into the US Senate and Senate leadership over their failure to reopen the government and the Republican Party’s refusal to execute on its mandate and pass the SAVE America Act on Sunday. 

The Senate remains deadlocked on both issues due to a slim majority, but could quickly solve both by terminating the 60-vote requirement to pass legislation in the filibuster. However, Senate RINOs, including Leader John Thune, refuse to follow the will of their voters and do so.

Butchett went off on John Thune for his failure on the highly popular SAVE America Act, which would require voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, and for passing a garbage funding bill in the middle of the night to fund the Department of Homeland Security without funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, then ditching town.

“you, as a member of the media, ought to be disgusted to the fact they passed that thing at 2:25 in the morning, and left all the other senators kind of hanging,” Burchett told Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich, slamming Thune for cutting a deal with Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer.

“The whole deal of the stereotype of Congress is, and it’s well deserved, is that we pass stuff in the dark of night because we don’t have any guts, and that’s clearly what’s shown in the Senate leadership,” he added, calling for Thune to be ousted.

“I think they need to get some new leadership over there, in my opinion.”

WATCH:

Burchett: I think he made a huge mistake, ma’am. 83% of the population supports President Trump and SAVE America Act, which they should. He ignores that, and you, as a member of the media, ought to be disgusted to the fact they passed that thing at 2:25 in the morning, and left all the other senators kind of hanging.

All he had to do is have five of his cronies on the floor. He cuts a deal with Schumer. Obviously, the leadership in the Senate, and that’s on both sides of the aisle, has a real disgust for this President and House leadership because they didn’t even have the guts to call Speaker Mike Johnson and let them know what happened.

The whole deal of the stereotype of Congress is, and it’s well deserved, is that we pass stuff in the dark of night because we don’t have any guts, and that’s clearly what’s shown in the Senate leadership. I think they need to get some new leadership over there, in my opinion.

He further slammed the Senate for bailing on vacation while the government remains shut down, touting his Do Your Job Act, which he has introduced numerous times since 2019 to freeze Congressional salaries if federal employees are not getting paid due to a shutdown.

“When government’s in a shutdown, or a partial shutdown, as this is, we shouldn’t get paid, he said,” slamming his colleagues as “spoiled brats.” To the members who complain about their nearly $200,000-a-year salary for almost no work, he said, “Dadgummit, go home!”

WATCH:

Burchett: I think we need to get back and get back to work, Ma’am. We used to say in the state legislature, you shouldn’t have hired on if you didn’t want to work. And clearly they don’t want to work. But honestly, I do more work when I’m at home. You know, I can’t get used to those two hour work weeks when I’m in Washington, waiting on the Senate to budge on something, and that’s clearly what’s going on here. And Harvey’s right. TMZ, he is correct. I hope they bust some people on this thing because this is ridiculous. America’s suffering, we’re paying more at the pumps.

These ridiculous lines, were forcing TSA agents to work for free multiple times this year, and yet, Congress has continued to be paid. That’s why I sponsored legislation to do away with that. When government’s in a shutdown, or a partial shutdown, as this is, we shouldn’t get paid, but we’re a bunch of spoiled brats, ma’am. And you know, I get sick and tired of congressmen saying they can’t, you know, “You know how much money I could make if I just went home and worked?” Well, dadgummit, go home!

More people have played professional baseball than have been in the United States Congress. You need to treat it as— I treat it as an honor. Every time I get off that plane and look at that capital, I get chills, and when you don’t you need to pack it up and come home.

Disgraced former CNN anchor, turned YouTuber, Jim Acosta was on video laughing and praising a protest sign that called for President Donald Trump’s death during the “No Kings” rally in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.

While doing a live “pregame” YouTube stream ahead of the third round of nationwide “No Kings” protests, Acosta stopped to review several signs held by demonstrators.

One sign, held by a woman who appeared to be a senior citizen, featured a photo of President Trump in golf attire and the message, “OK cholesterol, do your job!”

Acosta read the sign out loud and laughed about it.

“I think I know what that means!” Acosta said, gleefully.

He added, “That’s very funny, it’s very clever!”

Acosta continued his live coverage of the protest, later commenting on another sign referencing the unreleased Epstein files.

The full encounter happens at approximately the 21-minute mark in Acosta’s YouTube episode titled “NO KINGS 3 WASHINGTON, DC: THE PRE GAME SHOW.”

Anti-Trump “No Kings” protesters in the nation’s capital added a verse celebrating open borders to the song “America the Beautiful” during their rally on Saturday.

Several men in pink vests stood on stage and led the crowd in singing the altered lyrics promoting mass migration into our nation.

The leftists sang:

For beautiful, thy immigrant

Who hail from every land

By grace and work and diligence

Like gifts from God‘s own hands

America, America

By grace, shall that remain

To greet the poor,

And reach the shore

With open arms again

The tune was caught on video by Daily Wire reporter Brecca Stoll.

An upside-down American flag can be seen waving behind them.

The “No Kings” protests took place nationwide on Saturday with little fanfare, as they were much smaller than the previous demonstrations.

The protests are being organized and funded by progressive far-left groups, including Indivisible, the 50501 movement, and MoveOn.

A Fox News investigation found that roughly 500 organizations with a combined $3 billion in annual revenue backed the protests. This network includes well-funded Democratic-aligned nonprofits and explicitly socialist/communist groups.

Indivisible, the lead national coordinator for many events, has received millions from Soros’ Open Society Foundations. One documented grant was a two-year, $3 million award in 2023, with additional funding flowing through the network.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has come into the crosshairs of an ethics complaint for using campaign contributions for personal use after allegedly spending almost $19,000 on a psychiatrist who is known for specializing in Ketamine therapy.

The National Legal and Policy Center filed a joint complaint with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) and the House Ethics Committee on Friday.

It reads, “NLPC alleges that AOC’s expenditure of almost $19,000 of campaign funds in 2025 to psychiatrist Dr. Brian W. Boyle ostensibly for ‘leadership training and consulting’ was expended instead for personal psychiatric services provided to AOC or members of her campaign staff. Accordingly, those expenses were also misreported by the campaign committee with the FEC. NLPC requests that the FEC and OCC immediately investigate the facts and circumstances of these payments and impose appropriate penalties and disciplinary sanctions against AOC.”

However, “there is reason to believe that Dr. Boyle does not provide campaign ‘Leadership Training and Consulting,’” the complaint continues, highlighting his specialty in depression and his status as a “leading authority” on Ketamine therapy.

The complaint further provides receipts of the expenditures from FEC data.

Paul Kamenar, the group’s general counsel, told the New York Post, “AOC’s spending almost $19,000 in campaign funds for a shrink appears to violate both the FEC and House Ethics rules prohibiting use of such funds for personal purposes.”

He added, “While AOC has been in therapy in the past, she should spend her own money if she needs psychiatric treatment from Dr. Brian Boyle, whose specialty includes narcissistic personality disorder.”

More from the New York Post:

Boyle — the chief psychiatric officer at Stella, a chain of mental health clinics focusing on “novel” therapies popular with Hollywood and Wall Street – received four payments from the socialist pol’s campaign last year totaling $18,725.

The expenses were marked as “leadership training and consulting.”

However, it’s unclear what the sessions consisted of or who participated. Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

Boyle, a Harvard-trained doctor, calls himself an “interventional psychiatrist” and specializes in unorthodox methods for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD and anxiety.

This isn’t the first time AOC has come under fire for an ethics violation.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, AOC was previously found guilty of an ethics violation after the House Ethics Committee found that she impermissibly accepted more than $3,700 worth of apparel and accessories and a $35,000 Met Gala ticket for her then-boyfriend, Riley Roberts, during her infamous “Tax the Rich” dress stunt.

Rep. Eric Swalwell on Saturday responded to news of a renewed FBI probe into his relationship with Fang Fang, the Chinese honeypot who infiltrated his congressional campaign from 2011 to 2015.  

Swalwell told CNN’s Jim Sciutto that the members of the Trump administration are “dangerous individuals” and claimed that the investigation is only happening because he’s sued the Trump campaign, helped lead an impeachment during Trump’s first term, and is running for Governor of California.

WATCH:

Sciutto: As I believe you know that he has now restarted an investigation of you, which the FBI previously conducted and found no accusation or evidence of wrongdoing. Do you suspect, because this wouldn’t be the first time, that this is politically motivated?

Swalwell: I suspect it’s politically motivated. Jim. I have the only lawsuit that has survived this presidency; It’s me in the January 6 officers. I was an impeachment manager, I worked with Adam Schiff on the Russia investigation, and I’m a candidate for governor, and Californians start voting in about 35 days.

So, these are dangerous individuals who have gone after over 500 political opponents and organizations, Donald Trump and the FBI. And we know that they want a Western White House. There’s a threat right now that two Republicans will get through in the top-two primary in California. This is an effort to knock out the person who’s been in the lead.

And Kash Patel, by the way, in his own book called “Government Gangsters,” has a list of government gangsters. I’m not on the list. I’m above the list. Adam Schiff and I are in the prelude to that list, but Californians know better. They are going to pick the next governor, not Donald Trump.

Swalwell has been tweeting about the news all weekend in an attempt to fundraise and build support for his gubernatorial run.

In a statement responding to the reports, Swalwell also wrote,

Through great reporting, we now know the outrageous ends the White House will go to target political opponents.

The reason Trump is so desperately trying to stop me is not because I’m running for Governor of California but because now I’m the favorite.

But Donald Trump and Kash Patel do not get to pick the next Governor.

Californians do.

Devin Nunes and Peter Schweizer were on “Sunday Morning Futures” to talk about the ongoing investigation into the Russia Hoax, which goes back about 10 years.

“Devin is now the chairman of the President’s Outside Intelligence Advisory Committee,” Bartiromo said.

“Give us your sense of where we are today after that subpoena of Jim Comey,” Bartiromo said.

“The only thing that I would add to that, Maria, is that this hoax is ongoing. This is a conspiracy that has gone on for a decade,” Nunes said.

“Remember, you mentioned about Clinton trying to win, but what it really was about was covering up for her missing emails. That’s what it originates with,” Nunes said.

“It goes into the Mueller witch hunt, it goes into the Ukraine impeachment hoax. It goes all the way, we can just fast forward to the raid at Mar-A-Lago,” Nunes said.

“So, the victim in this is President Trump, his family, his associates, campaign members. We now know Senators, Congressmen. I think virtually everyone has been brought into this conspiracy over the last ten years,” Nunes continued.

“Florida is the right home for this. It’s what myself, and other scholars have been talking about. The victims were mostly in Florida. This is where it should be centered,” Nunes explained.

“It’s been a long time, as you said. We all want accountability, but you have to work at this day by day, step by step, to try to deliver this accountability and hope that the Department of Justice can bring significant charges against the perpetrators,” Nunes said.

“Who knows what was in those emails, right? The Hillary Clinton emails and whether they were treasonous. You mentioned John Brennan. I mean, he has severe animosity for President Trump,” Bartiromo said.

“We didn’t know at the time, but we know today that he knew this was a hoax. He knew that the Clinton campaign was playing a game and that they were trying to cover up for the emails. That was all declassified at the end of President Trump’s last term,” Nunes said.

“I’d like to see if we actually get conspiracy charges and that would be the first step in that road. Peter Schweizer, your reaction?” Bartiromo asked.

“You have intentionality, and the question is what was the goal here? Barack Obama was leaving the White House, Donald Trump was coming in. The intentionality was to disrupt and undermine the normal functioning of the American government,” Schweizer explained.

“If there is any classical definition of a conspiracy to undermine the government’s function, this to me seems to fit it,” Schweizer said.

Just hours after an American Airlines flight was diverted to Detroit with a disruptive passenger prompting an FBI response, a second U.S. commercial flight declared a potential hijacking incident upon landing in Atlanta on Sunday evening.

Frontier Airlines Flight 2539 (flight number F92539), an Airbus A320 flying from Columbus, Ohio (CMH) to Atlanta (ATL), landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport around 5:09 p.m.

As of Sunday evening, neither Frontier Airlines, the FBI Atlanta field office, nor Atlanta airport authorities have released an official statement on the exact sequence of events or any charges filed against the passenger.

The incident is still under active investigation.

This marks the second reported in-flight disturbance involving law enforcement response on U.S. commercial flights within hours on the same day.

As this was unfolding, as The Gateway Pundit previously reported, an American Airlines flight from New York City to Chicago was diverted to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) after a reported disturbance involving a disruptive passenger.

We appreciate our customers for their patience and thank our crew for their professionalism,” the airline said.

The disruptive passenger was removed from the aircraft.

Passengers were later deplaned and held in the terminal while authorities conducted their investigation and cleared the plane.

No injuries were reported.

As of Sunday evening, neither the FBI nor American Airlines has released additional details about the nature of the disturbance, the passenger’s identity, or whether any criminal charges have been filed.

The exact circumstances that prompted the diversion and the involvement of federal agents remain unclear.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to discuss a range of space-related topics, including satellites and security.

Isaacman also talked about NASA’s Artemis II launch, scheduled for April 1st. It is a 10-day manned mission to circumnavigate the moon and return safely to Earth.

“I want to talk about your role, and I recognize that you are running a peaceful exploration of space, and it is the Department of War’s domain to talk specifically about the operation,” Bartiromo said.

“I wanna get your take on the satellites that we rely on so much in space to track what Iran is doing,” Bartiromo said.

“My job at NASA is certainly about the peaceful exploration of science and discovery in space. That said, certainly not lost on anyone that space is the ultimate high ground,” Isaacman said.

“This is why President Trump created the Space Force during his first term. So, you have observation satellites that are up there that can see, you know, weapons that are being launched to provide early warning and then targeting of those weapons. You have communications satellites for command and control,” Isaacman continued.

“The President had great vision to create that Space Force in his first term. Jared, how should we expect the Space Force and those satellites to expand in space to further prioritize space for this operation?” Bartiromo asked.

“We are looking at the most competitive, the healthiest launch market, so the rockets that put satellites in space than we’ve ever seen since the beginning of the American space program,” Isaacman said.

“Instead of having to put up one really expensive, multi-billion-dollar satellite for observation or communication, you now can put up constellations of satellites like what you see SpaceX do with Starlink,” Isaacman continued.

“This is a priority of yours to get our astronauts back on the moon. You are launching Artemis II this Wednesday, April 1st. You’ve got three US astronauts and one Canadian astronaut traveling to the moon. What can we expect?” Bartiromo asked.

“President Trump created the Artemis program during his first term. It was the first meaningful step since the Kennedy era of getting back to the moon,” Isaacman said.

“Now, Artemis II is on the launch pad. This mission, these astronauts about 8.8 million pounds of thrust are gonna launch on a trajectory around the moon. They are gonna go potentially farther into space than anyone has ever gone before, about 250,000 miles away from Earth. They are gonna test out their spacecraft. 10 days later, they come back to Earth,” Isaacman said.

Isaacman explained that the ultimate goal is to get American astronauts back to the lunar surface by 2028.

The last time astronauts were on the Moon was during Apollo 17 in 1972.

“In 2027, we are gonna launch another moon rocket. This time, we are gonna test out the spacecraft, plus the lunar landers, and make sure that it works really well. And then in 2028, under President Trump’s term, we’re gonna land those landers on the moon. American astronauts, NASA astronauts are gonna return to the lunar surface,” Isaacman continued.

Watch:

“Space is the ultimate high ground.”

A security incident on Sunday caused a temporary ground stop and the deployment of military aircraft at Palm Beach International Airport, where Air Force One was scheduled to fly back to Washington, DC with the President on board.

Initially, reports on social media claimed that a drone breached the airspace near Air Force One.

Video from a Delta Airlines flight at Palm Beach International shows a pilot announcing a ground stop, telling passengers, “apparently there was like a drone that came in too close,” and that “they had to scramble some helicopters to go and investigate that.”

According to the White House press pool, the motorcade departed Trump International Golf Course at 2:15 p.m.

Now, the New York Post has reported that there was no drone, according to the White House and Secret Service.

Instead, the issue was an aircraft that was “out of communication” with air traffic control, and there was no risk to the President, who was playing golf at Trump International Golf Course at the time, or the First Lady.

Per the New York Post:

However, the White House and Secret Service said the incident did not involve a drone — but a private plane that lost communications.

“A general aviation aircraft was briefly out of communication with the air traffic control tower at Palm Beach International Airport, but contact was ultimately established and the ground stop was lifted,” a White House official told The Post.

“There was no drone incursion or concern regarding Air Force One, which is not slated to take off until this evening.”

Secret Service told The Post that “At no point was there any risk to AF1 or the President’s safety.”

According to Fox News, the private plane entered the secure airspace, and F-16 fighter jets had to use flares to get the pilot’s attention and divert the plane.
