Trump continues to target Robert Mueller after his death
President Donald Trump on Saturday cheered the death of Robert S. Mueller III, a towering figure in federal law enforcement whom the president viewed as a leading antagonist and the face of efforts to undermine his presidency. Good, I’m glad he’s dead,” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. The open celebration of Mueller’s demise fits a pattern for the president, whose instinct for bombast does not yield, even in death. Trump has sought to reduce Mueller in public memory to his last major role — and worked to discredit him. Rep. Michael R. Turner (R-Ohio) said Saturday on X that he respected Mueller’s longtime service to the country “no matter how controversial the Mueller investigation was.”

TSA workers go unpaid as unpredictable wait times mount during shutdown. Here’s what travelers should know
“Delta didn’t tell us to be here any earlier than the two to three hours recommendation,” British traveler Lee George Bond told CNN. Travelers wait in line at a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Georgia, on Friday. It is unclear what function the ICE agents would perform since they’re not trained in airport security screening. On Friday, more than half of TSA workers called out at Houston’s William P. Hobby International Airport. “Landing this job, I felt like I finally had that at one point,” she told CNN.

Senate rejects Trump-backed measure to ban trans athletes in female sports
Saturday’s vote to advance the amendment required 60 votes under Senate rules. The Trump-backed voting bill would require voters to prove they are U.S. citizens before registering to vote and to show photo identification when voting, among other provisions. Trump has demanded that Republicans amend the bill to ban transgender women from participating in women’s sports, restrict gender-transition care for children and ban most voting by mail. Senate Democrats have vowed to block the bill, which they warn would make it harder to vote. Republicans, who control the Senate, do not have the 60 votes they need to overcome a Democratic filibuster.

MAGA says the SAVE America Act is crucial. A new poll shows Americans don’t agree
If senators don’t figure out a way to pass this bill, they say, Republicans won’t be able to win elections anymore. If the bill isn’t signed into law, they say, GOP voters will just stay home in the 2026 midterm elections. It’s all rather apocalyptic, especially given the legislation deals with a purported problem (noncitizen voting) for which there is precious little actual evidence. But when the poll asked about the actual piece of legislation, formerly known as the SAVE Act, support wasn’t anywhere close to those numbers. Attendees hold signs advocating for voting rights and against the SAVE America Act outside the U.S. Capitol on March 18, 2026.

Trump threatens to deploy ICE to airports as TSA shortages drive delays
President Donald Trump on Saturday threatened to send U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to airports unless congressional Democrats agree to a GOP-backed funding deal, escalating a standoff that has already slowed security lines at airports nationwide. The changes Democrats are seeking include a requirement that ICE agents get a warrant from a judge before forcefully entering homes and cease wearing masks. “If you want TSA workers to get paid, then vote yes,” Schumer said on the Senate floor, arguing that Republicans have tied TSA funding to broader Homeland Security spending without new limits on immigration enforcement. “Surely, the next thing people want after waiting hours in long TSA lines is to get wrongfully detained by ICE,” she said. Trump said that he would deploy the ICE agents if Democrats did not “immediately sign an agreement.”That type of operation, Sandweg said, would almost certainly target a population of immigrants without criminal history.
