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.”

BOROWITZ REPORT 3/24/26 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.”

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON 3/22/26 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.”

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON 3/22/26 LEWANDOWSKI’S EXTRAORDINARY POWER Yesterday Hamed Aleaziz, Alexandra Berzon, Nicholas Nehamas, Zolan Kanno-Youngs, and Tyler Pager of the New York Times reported on the extraordinary power Lewandowski had in DHS under Noem, explaining that he held meetings without her present, sat in on classified briefings, read a version of the highly classified President's Daily Brief, and issued orders as he spearheaded detention and deportation of migrants. In addition to approving government contracts that worried officials, Lewandowski helped put Greg Bovino, a midlevel Border Patrol leader, into a senior position that gave him national power.

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON 3/22/26 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.

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON 3/22/26 NEW LEVEL OF INCOMPETENCE On Meet the Press today, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said: "We're gonna give Iran $14 billion to fund this war with the United States? We're gonna give Russia billions of dollars to fund their war with Ukraine? We're literally putting money into the pockets of the very nations that we are fighting right now. We've never seen this level of incompetence in war-making in this country’s history.”

TRUMP PAYS IRAN FOR HIS WAR
HEATHER COX RICHARDSON 3/22/26 FORMER DEFENSE AND CIA DIRECTOR: “THAT'S WHAT KIDS DO" 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.”

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON 3/22/26 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.
