ICE is proud to stand side by side with our brothers and sisters at @TSA — this is a message we received from the field: “I’m at LaGuardia, we did our training and now there’s no wait time. 99% of travelers are happy we’re here helping!”

ICE is operating the entire TSA pre-check operation in LaGuardia. Checking boarding passes, helping people load bags onto the scanner. TSA agents on metal detectors and screens. Massive line that stretches to the street, made it through in less than 30 minutes. ICE rocks.

"It might be old for me, but there's a lot of new. And I'm just grateful, I really am." While Geno Auriemma is excited to head back to his 25th Final Four, he appreciates the process and that some of his players will be making their first appearance 👏

The objective of the war has become undoing the consequence of the war. The stupidest war in history.

EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check
Chair of *Intelligence* Committee deosn't understand that cops can work without masks and that banning the masks has nothing to do with the ability to deport people. It DOES have to do with ICE (and CBP's) propensity for assaulting innocent people.
Tom Cotton@SenTomCotton

Democrats want to protect illegal migrants by banning ICE officers from wearing masks. That’s why TSA lines are so long.

Florida Surgeon General says the state will end vaccine requirements for kids in school and wants to end ALL mandates: “Who am I to tell you what to put in your body? It’s a gift from God.” Fact-check: Vaccines have saved millions of lives. (2026)

It has been 10 days since Hegseth and Caine last briefed on Iran. No CENTCOM briefing since 3/10, and no Pentagon daily press briefing at all. We learn more of what the U.S. military has been doing from bystander videos than DoD. Historic lack of transparency and accountability.

A letter, dated 26 March 2026, from the commanding general of Marine Forces Reserve (MARFORRES) and Marine Forces South, Lieutenant General Leonard Anderson IV, to all Marines under his command stresses the importance of being ready to deploy in light of current operations in Iran, going on to say that a mass mobilization could become reality.

RFK JR: President Trump is exactly the opposite of everything I believed him to be. I basically drank the Kool-Aid—that he was this bombastic narcissist who didn’t read books and was ill-informed. But now I know the exact opposite. He’s the opposite of a narcissist—he’s an empath. You see that every time he talks about the Ukraine war. He talks about the casualties on both sides.

Because Texas was in response to New York as well as necessary because of a court decision, which we’ve discussed ad nauseam. Texas also never had an independent commission. And finally, Texas is an R+14 state that drew a couple more red seats. Virginia is following California and drawing a 10-1 map that wouldn’t even be suitable for Maryland. It’s a D+5.7 state that just had a bipartisan moderate Republican governor who respected the will of voters. Voters went +33ish for an “independent commission” in 2020. Virginia’s New Democrat fakemajority is trying to gerrymander the state with a deceptively worded off-cycle referendum being held in April, so they’re not even getting the Real Voice of all voters. And they broke multiple laws to get that ballot measure, to boot.
S.V. Dáte@svdate

Why was Texas’ partisan, mid-decade redistricting okay but not Virginia’s?

Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський
When I travel outside of Ukraine, I get daily intelligence updates online. This morning, I was briefed that U.S. military facilities in the Middle East and the Gulf region were photographed by Russian satellites in the interests of Iran. On March 24th, they imaged the U.S.–UK joint military facility on Diego Garcia located in the Chagos Archipelago in the Indian Ocean. They also captured pictures of Kuwait International Airport and parts of the infrastructure of the Greater Burgan oil field. On March 25th, they took pictures of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The Shaybah oil and gas field in Saudi Arabia, İncirlik Air Base in Türkiye, and Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar were all imaged on March 26th. There are no Ukrainian facilities on this list. But who is helping whom when sanctions are lifted from an aggressor that earns daily revenue and provides intelligence for strikes against American, Middle Eastern, UK, and U.S.–UK bases and so on? When surveillance is carried out over facilities in Ukraine, we always understand that they must be protected, since plans are in motion to destroy them – energy and water infrastructure, military facilities, and so on. Everyone knows that repeated reconnaissance indicates preparations for strikes. How can sanctions be eased if this is what the Russians are doing? There must be pressure on the aggressor. And lifting sanctions is certainly not pressure. It looks strange. Sanctions are being lifted, while the aggressor is providing intelligence to strike facilities, including those of the countries that are discussing or have already lifted sanctions. From my conversation with journalists (3/3).
