The biggest mic-drop moment of the 2026 State of the Union Address was when President Trump trapped the Democrats with a simple but absolutely brilliant move. Knowing that they had all planned together ahead of time to never applaud a single thing he said all night, he rolled out the most basic trap ever. It was a classic Trump “double bind” something he is famous for. A “double bind” is when someone presents you with two options and you lose no matter which option you chose. There is usually a “less bad” choice, but not a good choice. In this case, the Democrats chose the “more bad” choice of the two. The double-bind was simple: Ask the entire room to applaud and stand up if they agree the #1 job of Congress is to serve American citizens and not illegal aliens. That’s it. Simple. Easy to understand. And Democrats had a choice that they had to make in a split second (NOTE: while they are known for sticking together, they’re aren’t exactly known for quick thinking on their feet)… The “more bad” choice relied on expecting the Democrats to band together and honor the secret pledge they made ahead of time to never applaud anything… The “less bad” choice would have required quick thinking and presence of mind to realize we have to at least stand for this one or we violate our most basic core duty to the American citizens. Of course the Democrats failed the IQ test, President Trump won the double bind, and this ad below was born. Other than passing The SAVE Act, all we need to do to win Midterms is to play this on loop: BREAKING: A DEVASTATING new ad just dropped exposing Democrats refusing to stand for Trump saying, “the government should protect American citizens, not illegal aliens” BRUTAL camera angles of Democrats betraying America Blast this EVERYWHERE. pic.twitter.com/XyJopV19Kx — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) February 26, 2026 No, we’ll never win over the Far-Left Liberals suffering extreme Trump Derangement Syndrome. But we will win over the “everyday Americans” who don’t care much about politics and don’t follow it closely. I can’t tell you how many “normies” I have heard from since Tuesday night who said I’ve never really cared about politics but I watched this clip and I couldn’t believe they refused to stand up for that.  What is going on? Indeed. What is going on is going to be the biggest RED WAVE you have ever seen in November! Bank on it.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said some staffers had installed “spying software” on her phone and computer. Noem said Elon Musk and his team helped make the discovery. “Performing my role as Secretary of Homeland Security has shown me just how real and dangerous the deep state really is. @elonmusk helped us find that a few DHS staff had installed spying software on the phones and computers of myself and other political hires. We found secret, secure rooms with hidden files that we turned over to attorneys,” Noem explained. “Under the leadership of @POTUS Trump, @DHSgov is returning to the standard of excellence and behavior we expect our government agencies to function at. We will root out actors who do not have the interests of America in mind,” she continued. “You wouldn’t believe what I’ve found since I’ve been in this department,” Noem told podcast host Patrick Bet-David. Noem told Bet-David that a secret SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) recently discovered “had files nobody knew existed.” “An employee walked by a door and wondered what it was and started asking questions,” Noem said. “We went in there and there was individuals working there that had secret files that nobody knew about on some of these most controversial topics,” she added. Noem said Musk and his team were “extremely helpful,” telling Bet-David that they helped her identify that some of her own employees in her department had downloaded software on her phone and laptop to spy on her. She said they used the software to “record our meetings.” Watch the clip below: Performing my role as Secretary of Homeland Security has shown me just how real and dangerous the deep state really is.@elonmusk helped us find that a few DHS staff had installed spying software on the phones and computers of myself and other political hires.

DISCLAIMER: I’m not saying this woman is Demonically possessed, let’s be very clear about that upfront.  Ok? But….based on the video footage (holy crap!) I can’t rule it out either! See what you think. Look at her eyes pic.twitter.com/O6WOmcBeQM — mrredpillz jokaqarmy (@JOKAQARMY1) February 26, 2026 YIKES! It may not be demon possession, but can you imagine living with THAT? Kill me now. Grok repeatedly failed to correctly identify the woman, but it appears to be Jill Nehls: No. It’s Jill Nehls.

It really is something you don’t see very often! What do you think? She looks like a very pleasant woman.

The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to allow it to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Syrian nationals living in the United States. More than 6,000 Syrians have the temporary protections, The Hill noted. Trump Asks Supreme Court For Greenlight To End TPS For Syrianshttps://t.co/NEGuiF07lV pic.twitter.com/WQZvGGRPTq — Forbes (@Forbes) February 26, 2026 The Hill explained further: It marks the third time the administration has urged the justices to rein in lower courts that have blocked the administration from restricting Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which provides people from countries with unsafe conditions protections against deportation and a pathway to apply for work authorization. “The Second Circuit’s ruling is indefensible,” Solicitor General D. John Sauer wrote to the justices. “It flouts this Court’s two prior stays of materially similar orders in materially similar postures.” Beyond an immediate intervention allowing the termination to move forward, Sauer called on the justices to take up the case on their normal docket and settle the broader legal issues “so this cycle does not repeat a fourth, fifth, or sixth time.” Since taking office, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has looked to restrict TPS for various countries. Lawsuits have been filed over changes to TPS for Afghanistan, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Haiti, Honduras, Myanmar, Nepal, Nicaragua, South Sudan and Venezuela. The Supreme Court in October 2025 granted an emergency request by the Trump administration to end TPS for over 300,000 Venezuelan migrants in the United States. “President Trump is restoring America’s immigration system so that it actually benefits the U.S. citizen and today’s Supreme Court victory is a win for the American people and commonsense,” former Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said at the time. “The American people should not have had to go to the Supreme Court twice to see justice done. Temporary Protected Status was always supposed to be just that: Temporary. Yet, previous administrations abused, exploited, and mangled TPS into a de facto amnesty program. Meanwhile, the Biden administration allowed millions of unvetted illegal aliens into our country exacerbating the issue and endangering all Americans. Now, that it’s clear the law and the American people are on our side, Secretary Noem will continue to use every tool at our disposal to prioritize the safety of all U.S. citizens,” she added. SCOTUSblog has more: In September 2025, roughly nine months after the Assad regime was overthrown, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that she would terminate that designation, effective Nov. 21, 2025. She cited efforts by the new Syrian government, led by interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa, to “move the country to a stable institutional governance, not a perpetuation of armed conflict.” Moreover, she added, even if “extraordinary” and “temporary” conditions continued to prevail in Syria, she had determined that it would be “contrary to the national interest” to allow the TPS designation to continue. A group of Syrian nationals went to federal court in New York to challenge Noem’s termination of Syria’s TPS designation. They contended that her decision violated the federal law governing administrative agencies because she had made it “prior to consulting appropriate executive agencies” and “without regard to Syria’s dire country conditions.” Moreover, they added, the decision was also unconstitutional because it was “motivated, at least in part, by racial, ethnic, and national-origin-based animus.” U.S. District Judge Katherine Polk Failla issued an order on Nov. 19 that indefinitely postponed the termination of the Syrian TPS program. The government asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit to put Failla’s order on hold while it appealed. It declined to do so. In a three-page order on Feb. 17, the court of appeals acknowledged that the Supreme Court had cleared the way for the federal government to terminate other TPS designations. But those cases, the court of appeals wrote, “involved a TPS designation of a different country, with different factual circumstances, and different grounds for resolution by the district court. In light of these differences,” the court of appeals concluded, “and because the Supreme Court’s stay orders contained no explanation of their grounds for granting emergency relief, they are not dispositive of our analysis of the merits in this dispute.”
