Republicans live it up on vacation amid partial government shutdown

 Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina shrugs after meeting with fellow Republicans on the Homeland Security budget stalemate, on March 26.

Congressional Cowards is a weekly series highlighting the worst Donald Trump defenders on Capitol Hill, who refuse to criticize him—no matter how disgraceful or lawless his actions.

Congressional Republicans have jet-setted across the country after refusing to ensure the very Transportation Security Administration officials keeping them safe on their travels get a paycheck.

The entertainment outlet TMZ has been posting user-submitted photos of GOP lawmakers leaving town and even vacationing after failing to reach a compromise to fund the Department of Homeland Security. 

The agency has been shut down for over 50 days as Republicans refuse to work with Democrats to reform Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the wake of officers killing two U.S. citizens and brutalizing immigrants.

Thirty members of Congress—including Republican Reps. Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin, Claudia Tenney of New York, and Jason Smith of Missouri—took a taxpayer-funded trip to Scotland. Many of them even got to visit Edinburgh Castle, a must-see with tourists.

The most embarrassing of the photos, though, were a series of shots of Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who was spotted enjoying himself—perhaps a little too much—at Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Florida. 

Graham ate a meal at Chef Mickey's (which this Disney traveler wants you to know is one of the most overpriced and gross eateries on the sprawling property). The childless Graham was also pictured holding a Little Mermaid bubble wand and waiting to ride Space Mountain, the iconic indoor roller coaster.

After the humiliating images surfaced, Graham gave this lame statement to TMZ: "I voted 7 times to fully fund the government. Call a Democrat.”

Of course, Democrats do not control either chamber of Congress, thus Republicans have the responsibility to put forth legislation that can actually pass. 

Even some mainstream media outlets, which often couch their words to avoid losing access to GOP sources, are now placing the shutdown blame at the feet of Republicans in Congress.

In this image from video, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas walks to check in for his flight back to the U.S., at Cancun International Airport, in Mexico, on Feb. 18, 2021.

Meanwhile, Democrats have offered their own funding measures to make sure TSA agents and other non-immigration-enforcement DHS functions are funded, but they were blocked by Republicans.

But I digress, back to the cowards fleeing D.C. while DHS is still shut down.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, infamous for hitching a flight outta dodge when faced with challenging circumstances, was spotted flying to sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which seems to be a popular location for Republicans on this ill-advised two-week break amid a partial government shutdown.

Other Republicans TMZ caught fleeing Washington, D.C., include Sens. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and John Barrasso of Wyoming, the latter of whom was confronted by angry travelers, per TMZ.

Ultimately, Republicans abdicated their responsibility and left town without a funding deal. It’s no wonder the Congress they control has an abysmally low 11% approval rating, according to the latest Economist/YouGov poll.

Dumb and disturbing developments in Trump’s ballroom boondoggle

Ballroom just a “shed” needed to protect a below-ground military complex

President Donald Trump looks out at White House ballroom construction on Jan. 9.

What if President Donald Trump’s ballroom wasn’t just an ugly vessel for his obsession with gold-plated detritus? And what if it wasn’t just a way to bribe the president or a way to turn Washington into Mar-a-Lago 2.0? What if it was also … a shed?

Yes, a shed.

“The ballroom essentially becomes a shed for what's being built under the military, including from drones and including from any other thing,” Trump said.

That sentence makes no sense, as nothing is being built under “the military,” so let’s try that again.

President Donald Trump holds renderings of his ballroom on Oct. 22, 2025.

“The military is building a big complex under the ballroom, which has come out recently because of a stupid lawsuit that was filed,” Trump said. “But the military is building a massive complex under the ballroom, and that's under construction, and we're doing very well. So we’re ahead of schedule.”

Who is paying for this “massive complex?” Is it covered by the ballroom’s $400 million price tag?

Trump didn’t explain how the existence of his top-secret military complex was revealed due to a lawsuit, but he did already blab about it during a Cabinet meeting last week.

“I mean, now it's no secret, the military wanted it more than anybody. It was supposed to be secret, but it became unsecret because of people that are really unpatriotic saying things, but doesn't matter, doesn't matter. It's going to be great,” he said.

So it’s top secret but was revealed in a lawsuit, so you decided to just tell everyone. Got it.

It isn’t wise to try to divine what the hell is going on in Trump’s mush of a brain, but let’s do it anyway. The “stupid lawsuit” is definitely the one filed by the National Trust for Historic Preservation seeking to block construction of the monstrosity. In that case, the White House has insisted that construction can’t be stopped—even below ground—for national security reasons. 

The administration argued in a public filing that completion of the ballroom project “in a timely fashion is imperative for reasons of national security” and that it is “unworkable to distinguish between construction elements that are national security-related and those that are not.” 

But that argument rests on classified ex parte filings, which are seen only by the judge—not the opposing party. 

So, the NTHP has to fight back against this amorphous assertion that the ballroom is necessary for national security without the benefit of knowing exactly how or why. Things aren’t entirely a mystery, though. In its motion for a preliminary injunction, the NTHP noted that the White House has “all but admitted in public filings that the national-security claims relate to a bunker long located at the site of the former East Wing.”

The East Wing is being demolished to make way for President Donald Trump’s ballroom on Oct. 23, 2025.

No problem, said the NTHP. It doesn’t want to stop construction of a bunker or anything else related to national security—just the ballroom. 

And that’s where the ballroom-as-shed concept seems to come in. It’s Trump’s dumb, bombastic way of saying what the administration has already argued in court. But anything beyond the vague invocations of national security has been seen only by the judge. 

No one else knew that the ballroom was a “shed” needed to protect a below-ground military complex, nor what would be included in that top-secret installation. 

Trump’s big dumb mouth is the only reason we know about it now. And, hilariously, the entire reveal seems to have occurred because The New York Times made Trump sad. 

Over the weekend, the Times published a piece showing just how much the ballroom design, well, sucks. Like, objectively sucks because it cannot possibly be built as is. 

Trump’s minions on the Commission of Fine Arts, in their zeal to approve whatever slop Trump put in front of them, signed off on plans with teeny-tiny issues like “stairs to nowhere” and a portico that “has no doors to get you into the ballroom.”

The article also unpacked how much the ballroom design aesthetically sucks. The frenzy of columns in the portico will block the daylight inside, and the White House driveway has to be rerouted, destroying its symmetry. The whole thing is far too large, with a proposed East Wing that will be 60% larger in square footage than the White House residence. 

The Times noted that, measured by cubic volume and including the porticos, it’s actually three times as large as the residence because the ballroom is so tall. 

“Viewed from the south, the ballroom’s size will make it the dominant building of the White House complex,” the article stated.

In response, Trump decided that correcting the record was the most important thing he could do. So he gathered reporters on Air Force One Sunday night to show them new designs that attempt to fix the whole stairway problem.

“We took the stairs out that were on the south side and really replaced them with these stairs,” Trump said, referring to what he called a “fire stair.” 

He also shared that the columns will be hand-carved in the Corinthian style—Trump’s personal favorite type of column. These plans are entirely different from the ones his lackeys signed off on, which really brings home how little they matter.

Daily Kos 

Trump’s comments about how the lawsuit made him share top secret information came at the same time as the new designs, part and parcel of his shambolic efforts to keep the bribe palace afloat. And you should be grateful that he took the time! 

“I’m so busy that I don’t have time to do this,” he said. “I’m fighting wars and other things.”

By “other things” he must mean planning his UFC Birthday Boy match, fighting over college football, and contemplating adding a spare bedroom to the White House.

It’s clear that Trump views his presidency as the ultimate cheat code for a hack developer like himself. He can build whatever he wants, wherever he wants, whenever he wants—and all with other people’s money. 

No permits, no regulations, no inspections, no laws. Just vibes. The most rancid, tasteless vibes imaginable.

Another big rat jumps Trump ship

 

Alex Jones speaks to the media after arriving at the federal courthouse in Houston, Texas, for a hearing in front of a bankruptcy judge in June 2024.

 

Alex Jones calls to dump Trump over busted brain and body : 

"This is not funny, this is not good, but he’s gone and that’s it."

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones told the viewers of his Tuesday broadcast that it is time to drop President Donald Trump as a leader of the conservative movement, citing failing health and mental decline.

Jones said recent images showing Trump’s swollen ankles were evidence of “heart failure” and that “he does look sick.”

“He does babble and sound like the brain’s not doing too hot,” Jones added. “We just cut bait on Trump, and we just mobilize against the Democrats.”

After over a decade of hailing Trump as a conquering hero for the right and at times arguing that Trump has been God’s instrument on Earth, Jones said he has been a “minor figure” in a purported conservative awakening that has occurred.

He added, “We need to be sad about Trump. This is not funny, this is not good, but he’s gone and that’s it.”

Jones also argued that Trump was under “evil control” and urged his viewers to pray for him.

Redness is visible on President Donald Trump's neck while he speaks with reporters on the South Lawn of the White House on Feb. 27.

The (apparent) radical change of heart on Trump by Jones comes as the decision to attack Iran has continued to spiral out of control. Gas prices have skyrocketed, adding to global economic instability still reeling from Trump’s tariff policies. Jones has had to reconcile his position as a loud Trump cheerleader with his previous advocacy against military interventions.

For months, there has been visual evidence of numerous physical ailments from Trump, including markings on his neck and hands. There have also been multiple reports of considerable mental deterioration by Trump, with signs of cognitive decline and other serious slippages. Jones’ decision to suddenly notice these ailments—just as the Iran situation continues to worsen—raises serious questions about how authentic the conspiracy theorist’s concerns are.

In Trump, Jones saw someone who shared his conspiratorial worldview achieve a level of prominence and influence never before seen. For instance, both men were prominent promoters of the racist birther conspiracy theory that alleged former President Barack Obama was born in Kenya and therefore ineligible for the presidency. Trump’s failures in office have significantly undermined the faith Jones has placed in him for years.

In addition to Trump’s collapse, Jones is experiencing a series of major career failings.

Just last month, during an apparently drunk appearance on fellow right-wing podcaster Tim Pool’s program, Jones said that his conspiracy website Infowars would be shutting down soon. Jones is facing millions in legal fees he has to pay out to the families and survivors of the Sandy Hook school shooting after he defamed them on his program.

Jones also lost key collaborator Owen Shroyer in a major dust-up last year, saw the Trump Department of Justice pull back on efforts to investigate Jones’ enemies, and he had to contend with Trump continuing to play cover for accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

Conservatives seeking out right-wing pundits peddling outrage have begun to shift to younger and openly antisemitic figures like podcaster Nick Fuentes over figures like Jones, who has been in broadcasting for decades.

Jones could always pivot back to supporting Trump, because he has rarely held a consistent position on a host of topics. But his decision to call for a leadership change is a clear indicator of cracks in the core coalition that has been behind Trump for so long.

As Threats Rise, the Gulf Turns to Ukraine’s War-Tested Expertise

 

Leading the way: Ukraine has turned its experience into expertise. (photo: Reuters)

Zelensky’s Gulf tour suggests a shift from dependency to leverage, as Ukraine markets the defence capabilities that it has learned through war. 

 

Inzamam Rashid / Monocle31 March 26

 

Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s swing through Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar this past weekend was billed as diplomacy. It was, more importantly, a sales trip and a rather deft one at that. 

In Jeddah, Abu Dhabi and Doha, Zelensky was not simply asking for sympathy, cash or a few more polite communiques. He was offering something rarer in 2026: a war-tested security product that these wealthy states suddenly need. 

Saudi Arabia signed a defence-co-operation arrangement with Kyiv; the UAE agreed a security and defence deal; and Qatar went further, signing a 10-year intergovernmental defence partnership that includes coproduction facilities and technological partnerships.

All of this matters because the Gulf is no longer insulated by distance, balance sheets or American hardware. Iranian attacks and the disruption around the Strait of Hormuz have made the region feel more vulnerable than it has in many years, while global oil markets have again been reminded that geography, not confidence, sets the terms. 

In Abu Dhabi, Zelensky and the UAE’s president, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, discussed Iranian strikes, the Strait of Hormuz blockade and the effects on the oil market. In Doha, Zelensky and the Qatari leadership explicitly framed their talks around protecting life and preventing the regional war from expanding. Zelensky’s wager is that Ukraine can now market itself not just as a front-line democracy worth defending but also as a security donor in its own right. That is a notable shift.

Zelensky’s own formulation is blunt. “As a result of the war we are going through,” he wrote, “and because our enemy is extensively using the Iranian ‘Shahed’ drone technology, we have developed our own system.” He added that Ukraine is now sharing what it has built with countries in the Middle East and that “we have shifted the geopolitical landscape”. That might sound grandiose but it’s broadly true.

The real story is not that Zelensky has discovered what the Gulf can do for Ukraine. It is that the Gulf has discovered Ukraine in a new register. Riyadh, Abu Dhabi and Doha are accustomed to buying finished systems from Washington, Paris and London. Ukraine is pitching something different: battlefield know-how, fast adaptation, cheaper interception and production partnerships. 

Qatar’s agreement is the clearest sign of where this is heading. Coproduction is not diplomatic theatre – it is industrial policy. It suggests that at least some Gulf capitals have concluded that in an era of drones, missiles and uncertain supply chains, sovereignty depends as much on manufacturing lines and software integration as on flashy procurement announcements.

There is, admittedly, a moral queasiness to all this. Zelensky is effectively arbitraging one war into leverage for another. He is doing so while the Middle East is already under attack and while Ukraine still depends on outside support to survive Russia’s invasion. Yet it would be naive to pretend that there is a better option. The West is distracted, arsenals are stretched and Kyiv needs cash, investment and air-defence depth. If Europe has been slow and the US erratic, then Zelensky is right to look for buyers and benefactors.

Still, charm offensives can curdle into overreach. Ukraine’s greatest asset is its credibility, earned at a terrible cost. If Kyiv begins to sound too pleased with its new role as a merchant of wartime expertise, it risks blurring the line between resilience and commodification. 

Zelensky should be careful here. The pitch works best when it is sober: Ukraine understands the Shahed threat because it has lived under it and it can help others to prepare.

Even so, the Gulf tour looks like one of Zelensky’s most intelligent diplomatic gambits. He arrived not as a supplicant but as the head of a country that has turned necessity into exportable expertise. And in an age when wars bleed into markets, infrastructure and logistics, this is a practical form of statecraft. Kyiv is still fighting for survival. But in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar, Zelensky has shown that survival, if managed properly, can itself become a business model.

Ukraine to the rescue!

No Kings rally in St. Paul draws 100,000, speakers praise Minnesota's ICE resistance

 Over 8 million gather at over 3,000 events around the world to protest Trump's fascist "reign" and war mongering

Saturday's No Kings rally in St. Paul, the flagship event for nationwide protests, drew a massive crowd to the State Capitol in opposition to the policies of President Donald Trump.

Organizers say that more than 3,000 No Kings protests took place across the country, with solidarity rallies taking place on every continent except Antarctica.

The day's events began with a trio of marches through St. Paul, all ending at the State Capitol, where around 100,000 protestors gathered, the Minnesota State Patrol tells Bring Me The News.

Streamed live online and on news networks, the rally featured appearances from prominent liberal voices, including Senator Bernie Sanders, Bruce Springsteen, Jane Fonda, Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Joan Baez, Tom Morello, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, and many others.

While the national network of protests targeted President Trump, the aftermath of Operation Metro Surge was in the foreground in St. Paul.

Before the main rally began at 2 p.m., "The Daily Show" co-creator and Minnesota native Lizz Winstead emceed the gathering, introducing a series of speakers and local musicians.

"We are the flagship rally of No Kings Day, simply because we showed the world how to do it, y'all," Winstead said, opening the day's event. "Why did they think they could mess with Minnesotans?"

From Winstead's opening remarks through the end of the day, the Trump administration's ICE surge was a persistent theme.

"When the wannabe dictator in the White House sent his untrained, aggressive thugs to do damage to Minnesota, it was you, Minnesota, who stood up for your neighbors, who stood up for decency, who stood up for kindness," Gov. Walz said, before introducing Springsteen.

"And at this moment, that we are still in, when democracy itself seems to be at risk, it was Minnesota who said, not on our watch."

That continued as Springsteen sang "Streets of Minneapolis," his anti-ICE anthem that addresses the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both of whom were shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis.

Later in the day, Fonda read a long statement from the wife of Renee Good, which can be seen in its entirety in Bring Me The News' live coverage of the event.

However, the broader political picture that guided the nationwide protest was not absent in St. Paul.

Sen. Sanders outlined a "darker vision" of America that he alleges is guiding President Trump's policies.

“It is a vision which says that we must give up our democracy, that we are too stupid and inept to govern ourselves, and that we must put more and more power into the hands of one man,” Sanders said. “It is a vision that says we should accept an economy in which a handful of oligarchs have unbelievable wealth while the vast majority of people struggle to put food on the table."

He went on to argue against the Trump administration's war in Iran, calling for it to end and laying out his legislative plan to oppose the war.

“In the last election, Donald Trump pointed out, correctly, the huge amounts of money that had been wasted in wars that should have been spent rebuilding America," Sanders said. "He campaigned as a peace candidate, and he promised no more forever wars. He lied.”

However, the event wasn't entirely marked by discussion of Operation Metro Surge, war, and a troubled economy.

Many speakers and performers took the opportunity to cast the large gathering as a celebration of solidarity. That was most clear in musical performances, such as when Baez collaborated with the Twin Cities-based Singing Resistance and Brass Solidarity to sing "Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me 'Round."

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison echoed that hopeful note. "In 2026, inspiration lives in Minnesota," he said, appearing alongside Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan.

While hundreds of thousands marched throughout the country, President Trump largely remained quiet on Saturday.

He refrained from posting to his Truth Social platform until 4:45 p.m. CT, when he promoted a Fox News interview on the "importance of hitting Iran, HARD!!!" He then began posting frequently on a variety of topics, including TrumpRX, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and ending the Senate filibuster.

Before the rally began, state GOP chair Alex Plechash issued a statement that called the protest "pure political theater — a distraction from a failed DFL record. When you have nothing to show, you turn to fear, slogans, and spectacle.”

His statement accused the DFL of "importing East Coast liberals," while decrying “higher property taxes, higher tab fees, and new taxes on everyday life.” In his statement, Plechash did not mention ICE, Operation Metro Surge, or projections that the protest would draw 100,000.

No Kings Day is TOMORROW! - Saturday, March 28

Indivisible Team <info@indivisible.org>

We the People don't do kings -- not in 1776, and not now. Let's be loud about it. Tomorrow is No Kings Day! A day of mass, record-breaking protest, across the country and around the world -- millions of us taking a stand against wannabe-king Trump’s assaults on our rights and our communities, and demanding an end to the illegal wars and foreign interventions that have already caused so much grief and suffering for innocent civilians around the globe. In June, the first No Kings brought five million of us into the streets; the second, in October, saw seven million -- and tomorrow we have more protests planned in more towns and cities than ever before. But just how big No Kings 3 will be depends a lot on you. Simply put: We need world-historic numbers tomorrow. We're at a frightening inflection point, brought about by an assemblage of the incompetent and corrupt, doing all they can to establish a fascist regime that elevates Trump and lines their pockets. To defend our democracy, protect our neighbors, and make it crystal clear that Americans will never do kings, we need to be louder than ever. You'll find everything you need to help make No Kings 3 an inescapable roar of nonviolent defiance, below. Find a No Kings event There are more than 3,250 events planned for No Kings 3! Find one near you here -- then spread the word to folks who might not be convinced yet. We're far more likely to listen to people we know than anyone else. Let your people know! BUT: A lot of folks who want to be there simply can't -- and that's ok! Nobody can be everywhere, always. If you can't attend a No Kings event in person, you can livestream the flagship event in the Twin Cities starting, at 3pm ET/noon PT. What to wear and bring No matter how you dress or nonviolently express yourself, you're always welcome at No Kings. Inflatable animals, religious attire, work uniform, tuxedo -- just show up as you, and join the fight! That said! Some outfits are more suitable for marching than others (so… maybe not the tuxedo?), and there are things to do and bring that'll help the day run smoothly, with an emphasis on joy, safety, and a loud, unified voice. Check the weather! And dress comfortably and accordingly. Many of you will be on your feet and outdoors for hours, so don’t forget to wear comfy, sturdy shoes and bring sunscreen, an umbrella, a poncho -- you know what you need on a late March day. Just make sure you wear/bring it! (Snacks and water, too.) Signs and flags welcome! Draw on your own creative impulses or download a free No Kings sign. An American flag speaks to the patriotism of protest, and unicorns, frogs, and dinosaurs (etc!) are a reminder that joy is an essential part of resistance. Let's be loud, colorful, and unmissable! Know your rights (KYR). It's always a good idea to review our Constitutional right to peacefully protest ahead of any protest we attend. You can watch an ACLU KYR training here and/or read this No Kings KYR resource (also available in Spanish). Plan ahead: How are you getting there, how are you getting home? Make a note of where you parked/got off public transportation, take a minute to note what No Kings safety marshals and volunteers are wearing, where they're stationed, and how to exit and return to your event, should you need to. Who are you going with? It's a good idea to set up a group text for communicating with your group, but be sure to also agree on a meeting point, just in case you get separated and cell service is overloaded. Haven't talked about No Kings with three other people yet? No time like the present! Here are some resources to help out: bare-bones info about the movement; searchable map of events; social media toolkit; talking about No Kings video; and even more on the website. Be undeniable. Protests, big or small, are never the point; they're a point on the road. A tactic, not the goal. The more attention they draw, the more powerful the message -- to those in power, of course, but also to a whole lot of folks who've never engaged in activism before. Protests tell people they're not alone, and help them find their own courage. Ultimately, protest is one of the most significant ways we grow the movement. And then we keep working, in a myriad of ways, until we win. So it's essential that No Kings 3 grab a lot of attention! One way to amplify tomorrow's events will be to make sure No Kings is inescapable on social media. If you’re comfortable doing so, please post and reshare photos from your event with the hashtag #NoKings. Always be mindful of others and ask before posting close-ups of other protestors' faces. Our commitment to nonviolence A core principle behind all No Kings events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to No Kings events. Please refer to the No Kings Know Your Rights Guide (also available in Spanish), our de-escalation pocket guide, and the additional resources on Nokings.org for important information to maintain a safe, joyful protest. Tomorrow, we'll stand for democracy and each other, for justice, honesty, and compassion, with millions and millions of others standing for those same things, right alongside us.  We the People don't do kings -- not in 1776, and not now. Let's be loud about it.  See you soon! Indivisible Team P.S. Join us on Tuesday at 8pm ET / 5pm PT for the No Kings post-protest call! We’ll join friends and partners nationwide to celebrate our impact and discuss specific, actionable plans to funnel the momentum of our day of action into ongoing political organizing work in communities across the country.
