  • Nightly News Roundup for Mar. 5, 2026
    Mar 6 2026

    Tonight: Donald Trump fires Kristi Noem — who oversaw the shooting deaths of two American citizens, conducted a public affair with her married senior adviser, and administered polygraph tests to staffers she didn't trust — and rewards her with a made-up diplomatic title before nominating the only sitting senator without a bachelor's degree to run the fourth-largest federal agency while the country is four days into an unauthorized war, Congress votes 219-212 to let that war continue without authorization or stated objectives while Mike Johnson describes congressional oversight as the reckless option, Trump announces he expects to personally select Iran's next supreme leader and cites Venezuela as his proof of concept, 357 members of Congress vote to permanently seal their own sexual misconduct files eleven minutes after a sexual assault survivor forced the vote while a colleague whose staffer died by suicide welcomes the Ethics investigation, gas prices spike 27 cents in a week and the president who won on kitchen-table economics tells Americans "if they rise, they rise," and Mississippi exempts college athletes from state income tax while the nurses and teachers who actually live there keep paying theirs. Tape rolls.

    Tonight: Mike Johnson stands before reporters and announces the United States is not at war with Iran four days after the president named the operation, promised American casualties, and the Defense Secretary used the word "war" on camera twice before lunch, Pete Hegseth screens periscope footage of a torpedo splitting a ship carrying 180 people and describes the 148 deaths as a "quiet death" because that is the man running the Pentagon, the Justice Department releases 2.7 million Epstein documents and quietly pulls the 47,635 pages involving the sitting president for "further review" on a deadline that keeps sliding, Republicans subpoena their own attorney general for hiding files their own president's law required her to release and Pam Bondi responds by offering to brief a few of them at a time in a room with no cameras, the United States bombs Latin America for the 44th time and marks the occasion with a Pentagon hype video and no congressional authorization, Penn Wharton puts the Iran war tab at $115 billion and climbing toward $275 billion for a conflict the president describes as lasting "a little while," and Thomas Fugate — 23 years old, former grocery clerk, one year removed from college — runs domestic terrorism prevention at the Department of Homeland Security while the country is four days into a war that everyone but the Speaker is willing to name. Tape rolls.

    Tonight: Donald Trump kills Iran's supreme leader and its entire replacement bench in the same strike package and explains from the Oval Office that the next guy might be worse, Kash Patel fires America's Iran intelligence unit four days before America goes to war with Iran because personal loyalty outranks national security and always will, Kristi Noem sits before the Senate for four hours and declines to apologize for anything including the dog, Marco Rubio tells Congress Israel's plans set the clock and Trump tells reporters he set the clock and both men work for the same government, Alex Jones becomes the most intellectually consistent voice in American foreign policy commentary and no one knows what to do with that, the VA eliminates 14,400 medical positions at hospitals that were already short-staffed and assures veterans the math is fine, and United States military commanders invoke the Book of Revelation to explain a live war to active-duty troops because Pete Hegseth has been running the Pentagon since January. Tape rolls.
