PSAKI BOMBS! Trump FIRES Noem! - Melania TONE DEAF - Vance TAP DANCES - Texas CELEB OUTSIDER running - MS NOW
Jen Psaki confronts another news day that grows crazier by the hour! Donald Trump fired his DHS Secretary Kristi Noem after a particularly brutal set of congressional hearings that included Senator Thom Tillis blasting her for killing her own dog. Will Trump's pick to replace her be any better?
And even with bodies still being pulled from the smoking rubble of a bombed girls' school in Iran, Melania Trump kept her appointment to lead the UN Security Council to talk about the plight of children in conflict zones.
Jen also reacts to awkwardness from JD Vance as he tries to keep a politically safe distance from Trump's Iran attack.
And Jen notes an interesting candidate in Texas whose campaign benefits from him being an outsider to Washington, DC, but being a Latin Grammy winner doesn't hurt either! - 03/05/2026.
