| 0:00.0 | It's Friday, March 28, 2025. One Trump nominee is scuffling. A black mask could be happening today at the Kansas State Capitol. And it's Ask or Tell Me Anything next on the AM update. |
| 0:14.1 | Congratulations, one and all for making it through yet another week. The Trump administration is leaving Representative Elise Stefanik in the House of Representatives. |
| 0:22.2 | Just days before the Senate was finally ready to move on her nomination as UN ambassador. |
| 0:27.2 | Stefanik has waited for months on her nomination due to the House GOP's tiny margin. |
| 0:32.1 | The Florida special elections are on Tuesday, but the administration has gotten cold feet about its margin ahead of crucial |
| 0:38.6 | votes. That's the first story in our Friday five-pack. Las Vegas Metro Police say a search of |

| 1:45.3 | caught with a Ninja Sword potentially facing six months in prison. |
| 1:49.7 | The ban is part of measures known as Ronan's Law, which also requires retailers to report |
