More than 50 years after 17-year-old Laura Ann Aime first disappeared, DNA evidence confirmed that she died at the hands of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy.
&#8220;This case is now officially closed,&#8221; Utah County Sheriff Mike Smith announced on Wednesday, detailing during a news conference the process by which his department had been able to connect Bundy to the case.

Aime <a href="https://www.sltrib.com/news/2026/04/01/ted-bundy-killed-utah-teen-laura/">disappeared</a> on Halloween night in 1974, and her body was discovered in American Fork Canyon, near the Timpanogos Cave Visitor Center, about one month later — and police initially thought they were looking at the body of a different missing teen. Debra Kent, also 17, had gone missing in Bountiful on November 8. The body of 17-year-old Melissa Smith, whose father was the Midvale police chief, was discovered just weeks earlier.
The attempted kidnapping of a 19-year-old woman eventually led to Bundy&#8217;s arrest in 1975, but he could not be directly tied to Aime&#8217;s murder. While DNA evidence was recovered at the scene, the technology was not yet available that would have allowed investigators to separate mixed profiles in order to make an identification.
Bundy was never charged with Aime&#8217;s murder, but her family — and local authorities — believed that he was the most likely suspect. The notorious serial killer himself named Aime, and Kent, as well as his victims, in a confession prior to his 1989 execution in Florida — but no one was able to tie him directly to the physical evidence until recently.
Sheriff Smith cited &#8220;new forensic techniques&#8221; that allowed commingled DNA samples to be separated into individual profiles — techniques that Utah&#8217;s state crime lab was not able to make use of until 2023.
Once a male DNA profile was extracted from the sample in Aime&#8217;s case, it was entered into a database that included samples from all around the country. A hit on the profile in Florida led investigators to collaborate with the crime lab there, and together they connected the profile to Bundy.
In the state of Utah alone, Bundy is believed to have murdered at least five women — and as many as eight. He moved to Salt Lake City in 1974 to attend University of Utah&#8217;s law school, but prior to his arrival there, he had already killed at least nine women in the Pacific Northwest.

With all of the seriousness that envelopes most of the day-to-day operations within the government, sometimes it&#8217;s good to let down the hair, loosen the neckties, and think up a good prank for the social media team to run with for April Fools&#8217; Day.
The Department of Health and Human Services led the charge with a post showing HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — notorious for his strict diet and opposition to fake dyes and additives in food — at a grocery store buying items that would definitely be considered contraband.
&#8220;BREAKING NEWS: SECRETARY KENNEDY CAUGHT PURCHASING ARTIFICIALLY-DYED CANDIES IN BULK,&#8221; the headline read.

The National Archives got in on the joke with screenshots of a &#8220;group chat&#8221; between the Founding Fathers as they prepared to sign the Declaration of Independence.
Thomas Jefferson kicked off the conversation: &#8220;Ok, patriots, the final draft is ready.&#8221;
&#8220;Wait, do I sign with my real signature or my cool one?&#8221; John Hancock wanted to know.
&#8220;Make it BIG, John,&#8221; Benjamin Franklin advised. &#8220;Go viral or go home.&#8221;
Another frame showed the men arguing about how long the process was taking and who had brought the snacks.
&#8220;Can someone please proofread before I sign?&#8221; George Washington asked — and Jefferson replied, &#8220;Too late. I already tweeted it.&#8221;
The last line showed King George III of England being added to the chat, and he responded with just an emoji: wide eyes.

Sharon Stone, who may have cemented her own status as a sex symbol after her role in 1992&#8217;s &#8220;Basic Instinct&#8221; — said in a recent interview that she now fast-forwards through &#8220;blatant, harsh&#8221; sex scenes when she watches television.
<a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/04/01/celebrity-news/sharon-stone-calls-out-harsh-sexuality-in-modern-tv/">Stone</a> spoke with &#8220;CBS Mornings&#8221; host Gayle King about her acting career, the split-second that made her an icon, and how what is acceptable onscreen when it comes to sex has changed over the years — and the actress argued that the change wasn&#8217;t necessarily for the better.
King referenced the famous scene from &#8220;Basic Instinct,&#8221; saying, &#8220;Sharon, when you look at your legendary career, what do you think about — I remember when ‘Basic Instinct’ came out? Cross the legs, uncross the legs. And I remember — ‘Is she wearing panties?’ — that’s how crazy it all became, right?”
&#8220;Right. It was a third of a frame. It wasn’t even an entire frame of film,&#8221; Stone replied, saying that to her, the real attraction was tied up in the mystery.
&#8220;And, so, people were desperately trying to figure it out,&#8221; Stone continued, adding, &#8220;So often now, when sex scenes come on TV — I fast-forward. I don’t want to see it. I don’t want to have to go through all of this blatant, harsh sexuality. For me, it steals from my own imagination. And I prefer my yearning, mystery, desire. I want to keep that alive inside myself.&#8221;
Stone went on to say that while that film had certainly opened a lot of doors for her career, she felt it also typecast her in a way that hurt her personal life.

&#8220;In many ways, I feel like I wasn’t protected and taken care of. And then, in many ways, I feel I was punished for the behavior of others,&#8221; Stone said, adding that it had played out when she lost custody of her son, Roan, in 2008.
&#8220;I lost custody of my child,&#8221; Stone told King. &#8220;My child was put on the stand in custody court and asked if his mother did sex movies. I mean, things that were bizarrely inappropriate &#8230; People treated me in ways that were … very cruel and unkind, as if I was some sort of slatternly, vulgar person.&#8221;
&#8220;Like you were wearing a scarlet A on your head,&#8221; King interjected.
&#8220;Yeah, I mean, you know, I played a character — 30 years ago. Like, grow up,&#8221; Stone added.
Reports indicate that Stone&#8217;s then-8-year-old son was asked about his mother&#8217;s films, and that the perceived stability of his father Phil Bronstein&#8217;s home also <a href="https://people.com/celebrity/papers-sharon-stones-ex-has-sole-physical-custody-of-child/">factored</a> into the custody dispute.

President Donald Trump responded to the bombshell reveal of pictures showing the husband of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem cross-dressing and exchanging risqué messages and photos with several women, saying he feels &#8220;badly for the family&#8221; if the story is confirmed.
&#8220;They confirmed it?&#8221; Trump asked, speaking to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-15695627/Shocked-Trump-reacts-Kristi-Noems-crossdressing-husband-Daily-Mail-blew-lid-national-security-scandal.html">The Daily Mail</a>, the outlet that broke the story. &#8220;Wow, well, I feel badly for the family if that’s the case, that’s too bad. I haven’t seen anything. I don’t know anything about it. That’s too bad, but I just know nothing about it.&#8221;
The bizarre story about Noem&#8217;s husband Bryon Noem and his apparent cross-dressing habits broke on Tuesday morning, with national security experts saying it could have left Noem susceptible to blackmail while she was in the cabinet. A representative for Noem told the <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/03/31/us-news/kristi-noem-weighs-in-on-report-husband-bryon-lives-cross-dressing-double-life/">New York Post</a> that she and her family had been &#8220;blindsided&#8221; and &#8220;devastated&#8221; by the story that broke earlier that day, and asked for &#8220;prayers and privacy&#8221; as they navigated the situation.
The story alleged that Bryon Noem had exchanged risqué messages and photos with several women — including a number in which he could be seen wearing women&#8217;s clothing and with what appear to be balloons stuffed in his shirt. Several outlets referred to the fetish as &#8220;bimbofication,&#8221; which usually involves role-playing and dressing up to exaggerate physical characteristics that one might associate with a &#8220;bimbo.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Bryon Noem, according to the reports, used a different name when engaging with others in the fetish community — but the fact that Noem&#8217;s face could be clearly seen in a number of the photos raised questions about whether his activities could still have created a potential national security risk. If he was identified, it would have left his wife open to a potential blackmail situation.
&#8220;Damaging information like this can be a tantalizing lead for a hostile intelligence service,” former CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos told The Daily Mail. &#8220;They approach the person and say, if you work with us we won’t expose this, and if you don’t, we will. That’s espionage 101.&#8221;
Bryon Noem denied ever sharing any sensitive information. Financial records reviewed by the outlet show he transferred tens of thousands of dollars to the women he was in contact with.
Kristi Noem was removed from the cabinet weeks ago, and has been replaced by former U.S. senator Markwayne Mullin, who was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/markwayne-mullin-confirmed-as-next-homeland-security-secretary">confirmed</a> and sworn in earlier this month. Her final months were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/before-noems-ouster-key-officials-tied-to-costly-and-wasteful-projects-left-dhs?author=Jennie+Taer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Before+Noem%E2%80%99s+Ouster%2C+Key+Officials+Tied+To+Costly+And+Wasteful+Projects+Left+DHS">plagued by scandal</a>, including questions over a $200 million advertising contract.
Noem remains in the administration, as Trump appointed her Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas when he removed her from the cabinet position.

The Daily Wire&#8217;s Isabel Brown doubled down on her support for younger women embracing traditional families, once again calling out the &#8220;out of touch&#8221; hosts of &#8220;The View&#8221; who had attacked her position the day before.
Brown joined host — and mother of nine children with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy — Rachel Campos-Duffy, on Tuesday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends,&#8221; where she pointed out several of the fallacies in the claims made by the ladies on ABC&#8217;s daytime talk show.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Campos-Duffy opened the segment by asking for Brown&#8217;s reaction to the &#8220;peak elitism&#8221; exhibited by the hosts of &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/daily-wire-host-fires-back-after-the-view-melts-down-over-her-support-for-young-families">The View</a>,&#8221; who had essentially claimed that only rich people could truly afford to have children.
Brown began by pointing out that the outrage had been directed at a short clip of a much broader conversation that was part of a panel discussion for the past weekend&#8217;s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), saying, &#8220;I never expected that that was going to be my Monday. That clip that they reacted to &#8230; was a very short two seconds of the greater conversation that we were having, clearly taken wildly out of context and with the intention to continue pushing the anti-family propaganda on the women of our generation.&#8221;
She went on to argue that the women on &#8220;The View,&#8221; all of whom have children and are well off, were &#8220;out of touch&#8221; when it came to the average American woman and her family decisions.
&#8220;Elitism is the perfect word to describe just how out of touch these women really are,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Because most of them are married with children and worth millions upon millions of dollars — but they have the audacity to scream at you, like Sunny Hostin did yesterday, wearing an $800 jacket and lying to you, saying that childcare costs $400,000 per year. If that were the case, no one would be able to afford children.&#8221;
Brown, who has one child, went on to say that her real concern was cohost Whoopi Goldberg and the fact that she&#8217;d wrapped up the segment by scolding, &#8220;&#8216;Isabel, how dare you tell women to want to have children, if you&#8217;re saying that, I&#8217;m going to send you back to the past.&#8217; So it&#8217;s always about choice for these people, until that choice is the beauty and the joy and the purpose of marriage and motherhood, which of course we should be encouraging people to strive for.&#8221;
Brown and Campos-Duffy went on to discuss studies showing that, by far, the happiest people are women who have embraced marriage and motherhood — especially those who have made career sacrifices to ensure that their families come first.
&#8220;This is something that the left doesn&#8217;t want us to talk about,&#8221; Campos-Duffy said, arguing that they saw the rise of young families as a threat.
&#8220;We&#8217;re claiming that we live in the most empowered time for women in all of human history, and yet the only level of empowerment that they are willing to give you is if you forgo committing your life to your best friend and bringing new life into the world through the miracle of pregnancy and motherhood,&#8221; Brown agreed.

The design, according to the video posted by Trump, was attributed to the renowned Miami-based architecture firm Bermello Ajamil, a Woolpert Company. The single tower stretched tall above the Miami skyline and included a base large enough to accommodate a presidential jet on the main floor.
The name &#8220;TRUMP,&#8221; in all caps, was emblazoned on the side of the tower, and interior mock-ups showed an auditorium with a large golden statue of President Donald Trump, along with replicas of the Oval Office, the still-in-progress ballroom, and other parts of the White House.
&#8220;Miami deserves this building. It will be a masterpiece, the likes of which have never been seen in Florida or really anywhere,” Eric Trump told The Miami Herald. Trump has been involved in the library&#8217;s design and planning from the start and has been instrumental in lobbying the state of Florida to provide the land for his father&#8217;s foundation.

The Daily Wire&#8217;s Isabel Brown fired back after the hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; went into full meltdown mode on Monday over her passionate support for younger women embracing more traditional families.
&#8220;I’d like to thank the women of @TheView for showing their truest, darkest colors today: they’re literally shrieking like demons at the thought of encouraging young women to have children. PS &#8211; &#8216;stupidest&#8217; isn&#8217;t a real word,&#8221; Brown posted.
&#8220;They want you to hate happy, healthy, fulfilled young people with kids. Even more disturbingly, they want you to hate babies so much that you never want them in the first place. Their response to my encouragement for Gen Z women to get married and have kids? &#8216;You&#8217;re telling people to have as many babies as they want to? Again I&#8217;m going to send you back into the past,'&#8221; Brown continued. &#8220;In other words, *wanting* a baby literally is not a choice as a so-called &#8217;empowered&#8217; woman in 2026.&#8221;
Brown doubled down, saying that she believed the family was the &#8220;strongest threat to evil&#8221; in the world, and adding, &#8220;Again, I reiterate: HAVE THE COURAGE to get married and have a beautiful family. Your life will be better because of it.&#8221;
After promising to further address the topic — and the comments from &#8220;The View&#8221; — on her next Daily Wire show, Brown shared the full segment from the ABC midday talk show: &#8220;If you just can&#8217;t help yourself in the meantime &amp; want to grab some popcorn — here&#8217;s the whole segment of 5 grown women screeching about how I am the &#8220;stupidest&#8221; person on the Internet, who should divorce my husband, and probably never should have become a mom in the first place.

Whoopi Goldberg opened the segment with a clip of Brown, speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), encouraging young women to get married and have children — and she and her cohosts immediately claimed that Brown was promoting backward thinking.
Goldberg began by claiming that women of color had been criticized in the past for having too many children, saying they were the reason that government assistance programs were getting cut.
Cohost Sara Haines argued that by promoting traditional families, Brown was reducing women to only the value of their reproductive organs: &#8220;The whole women&#8217;s movement was not about bucking the trend of staying at home or loving tradition. It was giving women a choice to do what they wanted. And that&#8217;s what this is too. Marriage, children. It&#8217;s a choice.&#8221;
&#8220;The fact we keep putting this on women, that their only worth in society, politics, policy is if they produce a baby or have a husband is the stupidest, most old-fashioned thing!&#8221; Haines continued. &#8220;We have come too far! The world has over 8 billion people! We no longer need to force people to procreate and pump out babies! We have arrived here! Women now and girls now have a choice!&#8221;
Ana Navarro also weighed in, ignoring the fact that Brown had been clear about women getting married prior to starting families and complaining that no one was expecting men to step up and be responsible for all the babies.
&#8220;If you&#8217;re not paying my bills, you don&#8217;t get to tell me what I do with my uterus,&#8221; she declared.
Cohost Sunny Hostin went a different direction entirely, claiming that Brown&#8217;s position was untenable primarily because of President Donald Trump. Blaming him for the fact that child care was too expensive for most working families, Hostin argued that women should think twice before following her advice.
Goldberg followed right behind, arguing that red states were enacting laws that were not encouraging women to do anything other than &#8220;flee&#8221; from them: &#8220;You&#8217;re telling people to have as many babies as they want to? Again I&#8217;m going to send you back into the past.&#8221;

As numerous &#8220;No Kings&#8221; rallies popped up across the United States, several signs and costumes prompted immediate ridicule — but perhaps none so much as the woman from Durham, North Carolina, who dressed in full 18th century garb and called on protesters to &#8220;give them 1789 France.&#8221;
The woman, apparently dressed as beheaded French aristocrat Marie Antoinette, wore a blonde wig styled in the traditional pouf and fake blood dripped over her pearl necklace. The only two things out of place were her sunglasses and the sign she held, which read, &#8220;They want 1939 Germany. Let&#8217;s give them 1789 France.&#8221;

And while her point was clearly a call to get rid of what she perceived as the &#8220;aristocracy&#8221; in the United States, several critics noted the irony of her invoking the French Revolution specifically. While the most famous public executions during that period were of high profile individuals like Antoinette and even King Louis XVI in 1793, the majority of those who died under the guillotine were commoners who dared to voice opposition to the revolutionaries. In addition, the revolution ultimately devolved into such chaos that the nation was already primed when Napoleon Bonaparte seized power in 1799 — and then returned to monarchy after Napoleon&#8217;s defeat some 15 years later.
In another ironic twist, recent <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/500-groups-3b-revenues-behind-nokings-protests-communist-call-revolution">reporting</a> from Fox News Digital indicated that the &#8220;No Kings&#8221; protests were bankrolled by a number of groups boasting a combined $3 billion in revenue — and by several communist and socialist groups who have been calling for &#8220;revolution&#8221; in the United States.
The lead organizers for protests in St. Paul, Minnesota, for example, were reportedly promoted by Indivisible — a relatively well-known Democratic organization funded by billionaire George Soros.
Neville Roy Singham — an American communist living in China with ties to radical organization CodePink — was also connected several other groups that sent representatives to the &#8220;No Kings&#8221; protests as well. Among those organizations are the People’s Forum in New York, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the ANSWER Coalition, and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.

Agents with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) should start seeing paychecks Monday or Tuesday, but it could still be quite some time before the business of traveling by air returns to business as usual.
Border Czar Tom Homan told CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Sunday that he had spoken with newly sworn-in Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin about President Donald Trump&#8217;s order — which directed him to pay TSA agents out of preexisting funding — and that they expected agents to see their first paychecks in weeks within the coming days.

Border Czar Tom Homan says TSA agents can expect to be paid &#8220;tomorrow or Tuesday.&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/b8XBX11sLC">pic.twitter.com/b8XBX11sLC</a>
— State of the Union (@CNNSOTU) <a href="https://twitter.com/CNNSOTU/status/2038245064388858129?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 29, 2026</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Homan also addressed Trump&#8217;s decision to send Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents into airports — a move made to mitigate the chaos of long lines and wait times as the lack of pay led to mass callouts among TSA employees — and said that they may remain in place for a time yet.
&#8220;We’ll see. You know, it depends how many TSA agents come back to work. How many TSA agents have actually quit and have no plan coming back to work? I’m working very closely with TSA administrator and the ICE director to decide what airport needs what,&#8221; Homan told Tapper.
The president issued an executive order on Friday directing Mullin to use funding that had &#8220;a reasonable and logical nexus to TSA operations&#8221; to ensure that agents received pay. They have not been paid since Democrats voted against funding the Department of Homeland Security some six weeks earlier, forcing a partial government shutdown that has also impacted the U.S. Coast Guard, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, and Secret Service.
The Democrats voted to block the DHS funding bill after the deaths of protesters Renee Good and Alex Pretti during the ICE surge in Minneapolis, Minnesota, despite the fact that ICE agents were still being paid under provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill.
But as Fox News congressional correspondent Bill Melugin <a href="https://x.com/BillMelugin_/status/2037604682370003061">reported</a>, only frontline ICE and Customs and Border Patrol agents are receiving paychecks amid the shutdown.
&#8220;The ICE, Border Patrol, and CBP agents we see in the field are all getting paid via OBBB. HOWEVER &#8230; their professional and civilian support staff are NOT being paid,&#8221; Melugin explained. &#8220;These are people who work the computers, the public affairs offices, and other support staff who aren&#8217;t on the front line making immigration arrests, but are supporting the agents who are. These civilian support staffers haven&#8217;t been paid for almost half of the last six months when you factor in the prior shutdown last fall.&#8221;
In an effort to get the TSA funded, the Senate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-strikes-overnight-deal-to-pay-tsa-agents-in-bid-to-end-airport-chaos">passed a measure</a> on Thursday that would break the logjam for most of DHS — with the exception of ICE and some parts of Border Patrol. But following President Trump&#8217;s lead, the House rejected the bill.
Neither the Senate bill nor a House bill that would fully fund DHS includes any of the ICE reforms demanded by Democrats, such as a ban on federal immigration agents wearing masks and a provision requiring judicial warrants for immigration enforcement operations.

ABC News anchor Jonathan Karl referenced Sun Tzu and &#8216;The Art of War&#8217; as he struggled on Sunday to piece together a cohesive strategy from President Donald Trump&#8217;s statements regarding his potential next moves in Iran.
Karl, on Sunday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;This Week,&#8221; presented a number of seemingly-conflicting statements and movements, saying that at times it was impossible to tell whether the Trump administration was planning to bring Operation Epic Fury to an end or further escalate the military action against the Iranian regime.

&#8220;In &#8216;The Art of War,&#8217; Sun Tzu wrote that a leader&#8217;s plans must be as dark and impenetrable as night,&#8221; Karl began, saying that Trump might not be basing his strategy on Sun Tzu but his plans were certainly difficult to pin down.
Karl highlighted the conflicting statements about developments in Iran, saying that Trump spent half the time talking about how many objectives had already been achieved — some, as he&#8217;s said on several occasions, ahead of schedule — while quietly moving to build up troops in the area, and perhaps signaling a coming escalation.
&#8220;Just consider his words over the past ten days,&#8221; Karl said. &#8220;On March 20th, he declared that he was &#8216;close to meeting his military objective and considering winding down our military efforts in the Middle East.&#8217; The very next day he announced a major escalation, threatening to &#8216;hit and obliterate&#8217; Iranian power infrastructure if the regime did not fully open the Strait of Hormuz.&#8221;
Just days later, Karl noted, Trump had announced that he&#8217;d been having &#8220;productive&#8221; conversations with officials regarding bringing hostilities to a close – but then extended the deadline more than once.
&#8220;Listening to President Trump&#8217;s words at any given moment, it sounds like the war is about to end — or it’s about to intensify,&#8221; Karl remarked.
Since the beginning of Operation Epic Fury, Trump and a number of his surrogates — including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and War Secretary Pete Hegseth have repeatedly made it clear that they would not, at least publicly, remove any military or diplomatic options from the table. That in conjunction with Trump&#8217;s apparently-conflicting statements and actions suggest that he has, in fact, taken &#8220;The Art of War&#8221; to heart.

Late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel defended his jabs at newly-sworn-in Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, saying that his intent had not been to insult plumbers, only to say that he didn&#8217;t believe Mullin was qualified to hold his current post.
Kimmel began by blaming President Donald Trump for the backlash he&#8217;d received, noting that Trump had complained about him while &#8220;The Five&#8221; on Fox News earlier that day.
&#8220;[The president&#8217;s] apple polishers are all in a tizzy because I made light of the fact that his new head of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, before he was a senator, was a plumber,&#8221; Kimmel said, and then he doubled down. &#8220;And now he&#8217;s the head of Homeland Security. Which is not necessarily the kind of resume you might hope for, for the person in charge of protecting us from terrorism.&#8221;

&#8220;Listen, let me make this very clear: I&#8217;m not upset that the head of homeland security used to be a plumber,&#8221; Kimmel said on Thursday&#8217;s broadcast. &#8220;I&#8217;m upset that he isn&#8217;t still a plumber.&#8221;
&#8220;Of course [conservatives] decided to twist that to say it was an insult to plumbers, which it was not,&#8221; Kimmel continued, saying that he had meant to draw attention to Mullin&#8217;s qualifications. &#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t put a plumber in charge of homeland security for the same reason I wouldn&#8217;t call a five-star general to pull a rat out of my toilet &#8230; We all have our areas of expertise.&#8221;
Kimmel went even further, suggesting that what he was doing was no different from those who were critical of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez — who previously worked as a bartender — and suggested that she was more qualified to serve drinks than to serve in Congress.
&#8220;Well, on behalf of bartenders everywhere, we anxiously await your apology,&#8221; he said.
What Kimmel left out — both in his initial comments about <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jimmy-kimmel-mocks-markwayne-mullins-blue-collar-roots">Mullin</a> and the follow up — was that Mullin went to work at his family&#8217;s plumbing business at just 20 years old, leaving college to take over due to his father&#8217;s illness. He proceeded to take the small family business and expand it to a multi-million dollar enterprise.

Bill Maher put Senator Elissa Slotkin on the spot Friday, challenging the Michigan Democrat to defend her party&#8217;s opposition to President Donald Trump&#8217;s military actions against the Iranian regime.
Speaking to Slotkin on the latest episode of his show &#8220;Real Time,&#8221; Maher marveled that Slotkin and the majority of Democrats &#8220;miraculously&#8221; reached the exact conclusion on Operation Epic Fury. The one exception to that, Maher pointed out, was Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman.

&#8220;There’s one guy, John Fetterman, who I can think of who has dissented from the Democratic Party line,&#8221; Maher explained. &#8220;Is that really the case? Really, there’s only one person in the whole party who thinks differently? You all miraculously came to the exact same conclusion about Iran?&#8221;
Slotkin attempted to push back, citing her own experience with the CIA and saying that she agreed that the Iranian regime was comprised of bad actors.
Adding that there was &#8220;no love lost&#8221; between her and the Iranian regime, she said, &#8220;The Iranian regime killed friends of mine with rockets and mortars and IEDs. But that’s different from just running headlong into a war without being able to articulate your goals and how you’re going to get out of it.&#8221;
“See, that’s the Democrat talking point I hear all the time and I don’t know if it’s true,&#8221; Maher objected. &#8220;I think they were planning to say that whether he did it or not, and then he did it, and they just kept saying it even though they did say many times, &#8216;Okay, we found out that they were very close to the bomb.&#8217; I mean, that&#8217;s what came out in the negotiations.&#8221;
Slotkin immediately pivoted, abandoning her claim that the Trump administration had not properly articulated its goals and objecting instead that the war was ongoing despite the fact that the goals had been met.
