Show Notes
On March 28th, 2026, the "No Kings" protest movement mobilized millions of people across 3,000 events globally to protest the current administration. In St. Paul, Minnesota, tens of thousands gathered at the state capitol, while in New York City, figures like Robert De Niro, Al Sharpton, and Padma Lakshmi joined marches through Times Square. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security shutdown has entered a critical phase. Although the House passed a 213-203 funding bill on March 27th, Senate leadership indicates it will not move forward. Amidst this gridlock, President Trump has signed an order to ensure TSA workers receive paychecks by March 30th using rerouted funds, providing some relief as airport security lines continue to be impacted by the six-week impasse.
