Published March 8, 2026 8:46pm ET



Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha applauded late-night host Bill Maher’s “craptastically awesome” switch-up on Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the U.S. president’s involvement with foreign conflict.

Maher read Schiff a statement from “the administration” that said the president had “the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force” since he could determine if this was in “the national interest.” Maher asked Schiff, a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, if this statement is “too vague,” to which the senator said it’s “totally vague.”
