The Western Journal: Watch: Uncomfortable Moment MSNBC Shill Had to Be Corrected About the Constitution On-Air
Michael Steele mistakenly claimed on MSNBC that the Constitution permits presidential inaugurations in March, which led to a confusing exchange with colleague Symone Sanders-Townsend. She pointed out that the Twentieth Amendment mandates inaugurations on January 20.
Steele acknowledged that inaugurations were held in March until Franklin D. Roosevelt but insisted it was not in the Constitution, despite Sanders-Townsend's correction. The incident highlights the importance of accurate constitutional knowledge in political discussions.

Fox News: Republican leaders still at odds on reconciliation debate after Trump meeting
House and Senate leaders are discussing a potential massive conservative policy overhaul, with House Speaker Mike Johnson advocating for a single comprehensive bill. However, Senate Majority Leader John Thune suggests a two-bill approach may be more effective, reflecting differing opinions among Republicans.
The reconciliation process could allow Republicans to pass significant measures on border security, spending, and tax cuts, but internal divisions may complicate efforts. Some members warn that splitting the legislation could jeopardize success due to the slim GOP majority.

Fox News: Trump revokes Biden order allowing transgender troops in bid to rid DEI from military
President Trump has revoked a Biden-era order that allowed transgender individuals to serve in the military, reinstating a ban he originally imposed during his first term. This move aligns with his campaign promise and is part of a broader initiative to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices within the military.
The new executive order also restricts federal recognition of gender to male and female, prohibits taxpayer funding for transgender services, and mandates segregation in federal facilities based on biological sex. GOP lawmakers have backed these changes, aiming to refocus military priorities on lethality over DEI initiatives.
