## [ICE Drops Hammer After 'Kill' Threat Against Agents Surfaces During 'No Kings' Riot](https://www.dailywire.com/news/no-kings-protest-turns-into-riot-as-projectiles-fy-kill-message-found-on-federal-building)

"No Kings" — spray-painted on a federal building alongside threats to murder the people enforcing our immigration laws. The irony of people demanding no kings while acting like a lawless mob seems to be lost on the participants. ICE's response was exactly right: threaten our agents and their families, and you will meet the full weight of federal law — full stop.

## [Tom Homan Torches Congress As DHS Fight Hits Boiling Point](https://www.dailywire.com/news/tom-homan-torches-congress-as-dhs-fight-hits-boiling-point)

Homan went on CNN — enemy territory — and said the quiet part loud: Democrats aren't fighting over budget numbers, they're fighting to dictate the terms of border enforcement through the power of the purse. That's not legislating, that's hostage-taking. Meanwhile, the Senate GOP can't seem to find the spine to call their bluff.

## [Report: Sen. Lindsey Graham Seen at Disney World as DHS Shutdown Continues and Iran War Rages](https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/03/29/report-sen-lindsey-graham-seen-at-disney-world-as-dhs-shutdown-continues-and-iran-war-rages/)

DHS is in a funding standoff, Iran is threatening to bomb American universities, and Lindsey Graham is on the Haunted Mansion. To be fair, he does have experience haunting things — like every hawkish foreign policy misadventure of the last twenty years. Senate Republicans on spring recess while the government's immigration enforcement apparatus bleeds is the kind of dereliction that makes primary challengers.

## [Iran Threatens to Bomb US and Israeli Universities in Middle East](https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/world/4508945/iran-strike-threat-us-israeli-universities/)

The IRGC has now declared American and Israeli universities in the region "legitimate targets." This is the same regime that's been calling for our destruction for 45 years, so the novelty is low — but the escalation is real. If you needed a reminder of why the Pentagon's new pressure campaign against Tehran isn't optional, there it is in writing from the Revolutionary Guard themselves.

## [Israel Blocks Catholic Cardinal From Holy Site On Palm Sunday — Then Netanyahu Steps In](https://www.dailywire.com/news/israel-blocks-catholic-cardinal-from-holy-site-on-palm-sunday-over-safety-concerns)

On the holiest procession day of the Christian calendar, Israeli police turned away the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem from the Church of the Holy Sepulchre — a first in centuries. Credit where it's due: Netanyahu moved quickly to correct it and restored access. But the fact that it happened at all, on Palm Sunday of all days, is the kind of image that lingers. Our Christian brothers and sisters in the Holy Land deserve better than to be treated as security afterthoughts.

## [Americans Shouldn't Need the House to Save Mass Deportations From Weak Senate Republicans](https://thefederalist.com/2026/03/27/americans-shouldnt-need-the-house-to-save-mass-deportations-from-weak-senate-republicans/)

The Federalist puts it plainly: the real question isn't whether ICE gets funded, it's whether Democrats get to write the conditions of that funding. Senate Republicans holding the majority should not require rescue operations from the House. John Thune needs to decide whether he's running a caucus or a support group for people who are afraid of Chuck Schumer's press releases.

## [Colorado Will Have the Opportunity to Ban 'Trans' Child Genital Mutilation in November](https://thefederalist.com/2026/03/27/colorado-will-have-the-opportunity-to-ban-trans-child-genital-mutilation-in-november/)

Even in Colorado — a state governed by Jared Polis, who has been systematically stripping parents of their rights over their own children — voters will get a direct say on whether surgeons can permanently alter minors in the name of gender ideology. This is exactly how federalism is supposed to work: when the legislature fails children, the people step in. Watch this one closely in November.

## [Jon Karl Digs Into Sun Tzu to Wrap His Brain Around Trump's Iran Strategy](https://www.dailywire.com/news/jon-karl-digs-into-sun-tzu-to-wrap-his-brain-around-trumps-iran-strategy)

ABC's Jonathan Karl cracked open *The Art of War* to decode Trump's Iran posture — which is genuinely hilarious, because the entire point of Sun Tzu is that your enemy shouldn't be able to decode your strategy. If Karl can't map it onto a neat flowchart for Sunday morning television, that might just be the strategy working. The media's confusion isn't a bug; it's a feature.

## Bottom Line

When your senators are at Disney World, your protest movement is threatening to kill federal agents, and Iran is naming universities as targets, "America First" isn't a slogan — it's a survival plan.
