According to a memo that OMB sent to Congress, it appears the White House plans to take “additional executive action” to pay civilian support employees at ICE & CBP via the OBBB since they aren’t being paid now and won’t be paid through appropriations because the Senate DHS bill Republicans are agreeing to provides no funding for ICE & CBP.
It appears the WH intends to get those support employees paid via OBBB so they don’t want to wait until June for a reconciliation bill.
They haven’t been paid since mid February.

@marcthiessen I have been to Poland countless times and they are more pro-American than even Israel. I am very surprised at this decision. I'd like to know what the people of Poland think.
English
So many longtime NATO supporters saying the same thing right now. I helped bring Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic into NATO. But denying us basing and overflight is inexcusable, as is their failure to help with Strait of Hormuz. No one asking them to bomb Iran, just let us use our bases and help escort ships. If they can’t do that, NATO has no purpose.
Clifford D. May@CliffordDMay
I'm pro-NATO. But I can't think of a single argument to refute what @MsMelChen says here. Not one. If others can, please weigh in.

@charlescwcooke Sorry, but I am just not paying for other people’s babysitters.

He’s absolutely right. Not only is it bad policy per se, but adding any new federal entitlements would be absurd.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

A different perspective: your children *will be burdened* by the vast deficit spending Trump has engaged in and the vast increase in the debt he irresponsibly accrued far more than this speculative, paranoid nonsense.

Birthright citizenship means the children of illegal aliens can vote to tax your children and seize their inheritance.

@TheLeoTerrell I want to know her LSAT score. With DEI, everything else is mambo jumbo and none of the accolades or prior jobs mean anything. To find out how good a lawyer she is, I want to know her else at score.

@DschlopesIsBack And what the hell is he talking about using a “rain barrel” for? Did he literally live in an era where the only way for an individual human to get water was to collect it from the sky?

I love the fact that this will go down in history as Joe Biden’s most famous speech 😂😭
English
@KurtSchlichter I guess he just does not appreciate the benefits of civilian control of the military. I think that makes him kind of scary.
English
It’s weird when the guy in command undercuts the authority of the command. How does that happen? Oh wait, it doesn’t.

In an extraordinary move, Hegseth reverses Apache helicopter crew suspension before Army even investigates the incident, undercutting the service's authority and underscoring his contempt for legal guardrails in the military w/@ESCochrane nytimes.com/2026/03/30/us/…
English
@gregkellyusa Do you not believe in civilian control of the armed forces? It sounds like you don’t. That’s kind of scary.
English
So what if those “fly boys” flew by Madonna’s house and Took a Bow? Or Robert DeNiro. That would Not be cool, right? But it’s just fine for Kid Rockhead? What an amateur move, posting it on Social Media. Meanwhile HEGSETH runs the Pentagon like he ran his phony “non-profits” —RECKLESSLY. He has No business Micro-Managing Army Units. They MUST Discipline Hot Dog Pilots performing Unauthorized Stunts. Because Next Time something could go Very Very Bad.
Pete Hegseth@PeteHegseth
Thank you @KidRock. @USArmy pilots suspension LIFTED. No punishment. No investigation. Carry on, patriots. 🇺🇸
English
BREAKING: We just filed a complaint asking the Pentagon IG to investigate whether the flyover of Kid Rock's house violated any federal or DOD rules, how much taxpayer money was spent and Pete Hegseth’s decision to reverse Army personnel’s suspension.

@EricLDaugh BTW, so much for a “separation of church and State.“ We need to change the regulation that lets churches become local political hubs. It’s gross.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! A Democrat congressman just tried to prove that the SAVE America Act and voter ID would disenfranchise everyone, and it BACKFIRED
Rep. Figures tries making a point: "Watch this. How many people here DO NOT have ID?!"
*Not a SOUL raises hand*
"Everybody has ID? So...I thought something a little bit different."
All this after he went on a rant that SAVE America would make it super hard to become a voter
BRUTAL 😭😭

Jennings: I think over time the American people will think it was a good decision.
Garcia-Navarro: L O L
Jennings: I'm sorry. What does that mean?
Garcia-Navarro: I know it's not your age group, but laugh out loud.
Jennings: Is that a serious response to a serious answer?
Garcia-Navarro: It wasn't a serious answer

@tomryanlaw And I believe in civilian control of the military. I guess you do not?

I DO NOT PAY MY FEDERAL TAXES SO KID ROCK CAN HAVE A PRIVATE MILITARY HELICOPTER SHOW AT HIS HOUSE IN NASHVILLE. COLOR ME PISSED!

@ByronYork Great. Thankfully, nobody was hurt so let’s just leave him alone for a little while.

@TeamKClark So all the judge-made law contradicting what their state legislatures said was also unconstitutional. That means Trump wins 2020.
English
Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the Constitution:
“The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof.”
Another illegal order by a wannabe dictator.
Headquarters@HQNewsNow
Trump announces he is issuing an unconstitutional executive order to shut down mail-in voting nationwide and he will defund states if they do not comply with him

Conversion therapy is cruel and inhumane, plain and simple. This SCOTUS decision is dangerous for LGBTQ+ Americans.
Our LGBTQ+ community deserves safety, acceptance, and love. We won’t ever let up in our fight for a better nation.
The Associated Press@AP
BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled against a law banning “conversion therapy” for LGBTQ+ kids in Colorado, one of about two dozen states that banned the discredited practice. apnews.com/article/suprem…

This is already public knowledge. TSA shared w/ ICE that the targets had active deportation orders since 2019, making them ICE fugitives. What is alarming about ICE arresting Guatemalan illegal aliens who had their due process & have been ordered removed by an immigration judge?
Adam Schiff@SenAdamSchiff
I'm launching an inquiry with @SenAlexPadilla on the alarming actions by ICE at San Francisco International Airport. We must know what immigration data TSA is sharing with ICE and why. The last thing we need are more scenes like the one we witnessed last week. ICE agents shouldn't be at our airports.

@bennyjohnson I got excited when I first saw your post b/c I did not know we were about to land on the moon again.
Then I saw the word, “flyby,” and realized that we are not doing that so that’s why I don’t know about it.
English
America is going back to the moon this week and legacy media is hardly talking about it.
Artemis II will be the first crewed lunar flyby in over 50 years.
This will lay the foundation for travel to Mars.
We are witnessing History.

@StateDept “[D]isappointing” is weasel-speak. The President should state publicly that the US will not send any troops under Art. V to or for the defense of Spain and should invite Putin to do what he wants w/Madrid.
English
SECRETARY RUBIO: It’s disappointing to see that in a time of need for the United States, we have countries like Spain, a NATO member that we are pledged to defend, denying us the use of their airspace and bragging about it.
English
@marcthiessen The President should State unequivocally that he will not send US forces under article 5 to the defensive Spain for any purpose. Just go out and make that statement or put it out in a tweet. NATO is over anyway.
