ROLLINGSTONE INTERVIEW WITH AL GORE
“He cast the interview as a rallying cry ahead of this
weekend's No Kings events—nationwide protests
against President Donald Trump's sweeping
consolidation of federal power. His message for those in
the MAGA movement who have embraced what Gore
has called authoritarianism was blunt: “There is a
feeling on the part of some that we do need a king, we
do need an autocrat,” he said. “Well, to hell with you, we
do not. We're Americans. And the whole spirit of these
demonstrations is to reassert that fact.”
Gore pointed to the historic scale of the protest
movement so far, noting that earlier demonstrations
drew millions, and predicted an even bigger turnout this
weekend. "Everybody's kind of expecting that it'll blow
the roof off of those numbers,” he said. “I think these
things matter."

BOROWITZ REPORT 3/25/26
Trump Claims Florida Failed to Count All 15,000
Ballots He Mailed In
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—Hinting
darkly that “there's something going on,” Donald J.
Trump on Wednesday blamed the Republican defeat
in his home district in Florida on election officials’
failure to count the fifteen thousand ballots he
mailed in.
“1 had Eric, Don Jr., JD, and Little Marco shove
ballots into every mailbox in Washington,” he said.
“The fact that we still didn’t win is proof that voting
by mail doesn’t work.”
He complained that “now I'm going to have to spend
valuable time calling up the Florida Secretary of
State and telling him to find me more votes.”
“This should never be allowed to happenin this
country,” he said. “I have more important things to
do with my time, like insider trading.”

of the world. All things break. And all
things can be mended. Not with time, as
they say, but with intention.
So go. Love intentionally, extravagantly,
unconditionally.
‘The broken world waits in darkness for
‘the light that is you.

TSA Arrests ICE Agents After Guns Set Off Metal
Detectors
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (The Borowitz Report)—
TSA officers arrested hundreds of ICE agents on
Monday after the untrained individuals inadvertently
set off airport metal detectors with their guns.
In airports across the nation, ICE agents walked
through the detectors despite signs warning that
firearms were not permitted.
“This is so unfair,” said one ICE agent as he was being
handcuffed. “When | took this job | was promised it
wouldn't involve reading.”

SHREDDING OF EPSTEIN PRISON DOCUMENTS
Yesterday Julie K. Brown of The Epstein Files, whose
work digging into the cover-up of the Epstein story for
the Miami Herald has been instrumental in bringing the
scandal to light, and her colleague Claire Healy
reported that after sex offender Jeffrey Epstein was
found dead in his prison cell on August 10, 2019, a
corrections officer called the FBI's Threat Operations
Center saying the officer “found it suspicious that an
after-action team charged with investigation would be
shredding huge amounts of paperwork” while FBI
agents were in the building.
An inmate who helped shred documents told guards:
“They are shredding everything,” and an assistant
federal prosecutor noted the destruction or misplacing
of relevant records. Another corrections officer wrote to
the FBI on August 19 about an unusual amount of
shredding and disposal, and suggested: “you may want
to investigate why [Bureau of Prisons] employees are
destroying records.”

Lewandowski had in DHS under Noem, explaining that
he held meetings without her present, sat in on

he spearheaded detention and deportation of migrants.
In addition to approving government contracts that

that gave him national power.

LEWANDOWSKI DENIES WRONG DOING AS HE MAKES
DEALS AND STRONG ARMS
On Thursday, March 19, Julia Ainsley, Matt Dixon,
Jonathan Allen, and Laura Strickler of NBC News
reported that Lewandowski told George Zoley, the head
of the giant private prison company GEO Group, that he
expected to be paid for steering contracts to GEO
Group. Zoley said he declined initially but later offered
to put Lewandowski on retainer with a consulting fee.
But, sources told the journalists, Lewandowski “wanted
payments—what some people would call a success fee”
based on awarded contracts. When Zoley refused, GEO
Group lost out on contracts. A senior DHS official told
the journalists Lewandowski had told him not to award
any more contracts to GEO Group.
Lewandowski’s official title was that of a “special
government employee,” with a temporary appointment
that permitted him to work only 130 days in a year, but
DHS officials told the journalists that Lewandowski had
broad authority over contracts in the department and
was referred to as “chief.” He allegedly sidestepped the
limits of his appointment by going into the building
accompanying Noem, and thus without swiping in using
his badge. Lewandowski has denied any wrongdoing.

As former defense secretary and Central Intelligence
Agency director Leon Panetta told David Smith of The
Guardian, "[1]f there was an escape here for Trump, it
would be to declare victory and it's over and we've been
able to be successful in all of our military targets. The
problem is he can declare victory all he wants but, if he
doesn’t get the ceasefire, he's got nothing. And he’s not
going to get a ceasefire as long as Iran is holding the
gun of the strait of Hormuz against his head.”
“He tends to be naive about how things can happen,”
Panetta told Smith. “If he says it and keeps saying it,
there's always a hope that what he says will come true.
But that's what kids do. It's not what presidents do.”

TRUMP PAYS IRAN FOR HIS WAR
In a frantic attempt to lower oil prices, the
administration on Friday lifted sanctions on Iranian oil
currently at sea. The lifting of sanctions will enable Iran
to sell about 140 million barrels of oil, worth about $14
billion, including to the United States and to China.
National security scholar Phil Gordon, who served as
the White House coordinator for the Middle East, North
Africa, and the Persian Gulf Region during the Obama
administration, posted: “When Obama sent Iran $400m
+ $1.3bn in interest in 2016 Trump called it ‘insane’ and
he and others spent a decade mocking the idea of
‘pallets of cash’ even though it was Iran’s own money,
American prisoners were released, courts were likely to
require the U.S. payment, and Iran had just agreed to
significant and verified reductions and restrictions on
its nuclear program for 15+ years.
“Now Trump is giving Iran up to ten times that amount
of revenue—one of the most significant measures of
sanctions relief provided to the Islamic Republic since
its founding—in exchange for marginal and temporary
relief from the big increase in oil prices his actions have
caused, without any concessions from Tehran, and
even as Iran continues to target the US, its allies, and
world oil supplies.
