Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) introduced legislation to abolish the Transportation Security Agency (TSA). “Tired of getting felt up by an army of federal employees? @SenTuberville and I just introduced a bill to abolish the TSA,” Lee said. Tired of getting felt up by an army of federal employees? @SenTuberville and I just introduced a bill to abolish the TSA.https://t.co/kbob5U3fCV — Mike Lee (@SenMikeLee) March 27, 2025 “Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) today introduced the Abolish the TSA Act, which would dissolve the bloated and ineffective Transportation Security Administration while allowing America’s airports to compete to provide the safest, most efficient, and least intrusive security measures, under a new Office of Aviation Security Oversight,” a press release from Lee’s office read. “The TSA has not only intruded into the privacy and personal space of most Americans, it has also repeatedly failed tests to find weapons and explosives,” Lee said. “Our bill privatizes security functions at American airports under the eye of an Office of Aviation Security Oversight, bringing this bureaucratic behemoth to a welcome end. American families can travel safely without feeling the hands of an army of federal employees,” he continued. “The TSA is an inefficient, bureaucratic mess that infringes on Americans’ freedoms,” Tuberville said. “It’s a bloated agency—riddled with waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer dollars—that has led to unnecessary delays, invasive pat downs and bag checks, and frustration for travelers. We need to focus on more efficient and effective methods to protect our country without sacrificing the liberties and freedoms of American citizens. The TSA should be eliminated and replaced with privatized solutions that are more targeted, streamlined, and where appropriate, accountable to limited government oversight,” he added.

The plan must include details about how the Office of Aviation Security Oversight would operate and lay the groundwork for the privatization of airport security. The plan must also detail the transfer of non-aviation security functions to the Department of Transportation, such as mass transit, freight rail, pipelines, and more. Additionally, the report must propose reductions of TSA operations and personnel to facilitate transfer of duties. The report must be submitted to Congress within 90 days of enactment. While compiling details, the report must not contain requirements for private security companies to conduct warrantless searches or extend the TSA’s existence, according to the legislation. However, the bill does allow for lawmakers to consider amendments to the reorganization plan.

Hundreds of pro-life activists from across the country gathered on Capitol Hill Thursday to push lawmakers to take advantage of rare opportunity to defund abortion giant Planned Parenthood Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America said that over 300 activists from 39 states would meet with congressional offices to urge lawmakers to end federal funding for Planned Parenthood through the budget reconciliation process. The last time Republicans had a similar opportunity to gut Planned Parenthood of its funding was in 2017, when the effort failed by one vote in the Senate.  Planned Parenthood was given around $699 million in taxpayer dollars in 2022-2023, according to its most recent annual report. The federal funding makes up about 34% of the organization’s annual revenue. The same report also revealed the organization ended the lives of nearly 400,000 unborn babies.  SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser told The Daily Wire that the upcoming budget negotiations were the best chance for Republicans to defund Planned Parenthood in eight years.  “This is the biggest pot of Planned Parenthood and big abortion funding that the federal government is involved in,” she told The Daily Wire. “We provide $2 million a day for this so that they can spend $70 million last election cycle trying to defeat our candidates, unsuccessfully, thank goodness. But most importantly they are using it to build the institution of Planned Parenthood.”  In 2017, a similar effort fell short after the late Senator John McCain decided at the last minute not to back a reconciliation bill, leaving Republicans one vote short of defunding Planned Parenthood and repealing Obamacare.  Dannenfelser said now was the “perfect storm” to defund Planned Parenthood, given Republican control of the White House and Congress and the efforts of the Department of Government Efficiency. She said that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)was the best speaker pro-lifers have ever worked on this issue.  “We’ve got a good shot,” she told The Daily Wire, saying that the lobby day was to keep a focus on the defunding so that it wouldn’t be negotiated away during the reconciliation process. The money that could be defunded through reconciliation would be $500 million to Planned Parenthood through Medicaid.  If successful, Dannenfelser said that it would be a monumental victory for the pro-life moment and could spell doom for Planned Parenthood.  “You take that amount of money away for one or two years, and I really do think for an already hobbled organization, it could just bring them down,” she said.  During a Thursday rally with several Republican lawmakers and pro-life activists, Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) said that Planned Parenthood was a “murder for profit organization” that should “never receive another penny of taxpayer dollars.” She added that she was making it her mission to “defund Planned Parenthood once and for all,” saying that its status as a non-profit should be revoked.  Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) also spoke at the event, saying that Planned Parenthood was a “baby killing machine as they abort over a thousand babies every single day.”  Republicans have promised for years to defund Planned Parenthood after undercover videos published in 2015 showed Planned Parenthood officials discussing the sale of aborted baby parts and organs. Yet the abortion provider has continued to receive hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars every year.  The pro-life activists’ visit to Capitol Hill comes one day after 150 national and state pro-lifer organizations sent a letter to members of Congress urging them to take action to fully defund Planned Parenthood.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s latest promised effort to combat violent crime has so far only resulted in him taking a virtual beating on social media. Starmer announced via X that he was going to make good on his promise to ban ninja swords, and critics were far from impressed. “Knife crime is at epidemic levels and is ruining lives across Britain. As Prime Minister, I’ll crack down on sales of these lethal weapons once and for all. When I announce a ban, you’ll get a ban,” Starmer posted in late January of 2024, along with an article from The Sun stating that ninja swords would be included in such a ban.
