WHITEHOUSE: Can you explain this?


NOEM: I'm looking at a picture of a bedroom


W: Of an airplane. You're not familiar?

NOEM: These photos are not accurate if you're referring to the airplanes DHS purchased. We're using them for command & control


W: You didn't use it?

N: I've been on it once

No money from Trump for solar. The sun's heat and energy are too woke.

I’m actually not sure we can come back from “prediction markets for war crimes”, as a society. I think this might be it for us.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

complete insanity

This is the company that Substack chose to partnership with.

Michele Tafoya claims 30% of California is homeless during Fox News appearance Michele Tafoya was a very good sports reporter, but as for her ability as an aspiring politician, she at least appears to be a gullible one.

The US Senate campaign of Michele Tafoya has started with a huge gaffe.

Kash Patel’s Girlfriend Seeks Fame and Fortune, Escorted by an F.B.I. SWAT Team

"Ms. Wilkins, 27, is the girlfriend of Kash Patel, President Trump’s 46-year-old F.B.I. director, whose personal use of government jets and F.B.I. agents for himself and Ms. Wilkins has led to growing questions even inside the Trump administration."
A never ending story of grift & abuse of fed funds

Polymarket defends the war markets: "After discussing with those directly affected by the attacks, who had dozens of questions, we realized that prediction markets could give them the answers they needed in ways TV news and 𝕏 could not."

Bruce Arthur: The U.S. men’s hockey team’s triumphant return to the NHL is an exercise in damage control Some players complained that partying with the FBI director and attending the Trump’s State of the Union was being politicized. Others apologized.

Some US men’s players apologized; even more talked about how much they respected the USA women’s team. What they didn’t seem to realize was that if you respect them and don’t apologize for the Trump debacle, it actually makes embracing Trump worse. www.thestar.com/sports/nhl/t...

This should be a front-page scandal.

No need for more UW-Madison dorms, development groups say The Greater Madison Housing Consortium says a new report shows UW-Madison doesn’t need another dorm. The university sees it differently.

Downtown Madison landlords commission study that concludes there's no need to build more UW dorm capacity.
Students who are rushed to sign leases 9 or more months before moving day to pay upwards of $2k/month in rent might disagree.

This is from @status.news, and it is gross.

FCC chairman Brendan Carr sat down with Ben Smith of Semafor so he could "shower praise" upon David Ellison and Bari Weiss, and then hint around at who he might sue next.

You can make a delicous pourover in your home for little more than $500 in infrastructure investments.

Last year the U.S. experienced something that hasn’t definitively occurred since the Great Depression: More people moved out than moved in.

Madison should try to host curling nationals. They held the mixed doubles here about four years ago, but bringing the men's and women's here would be quite popular, I have to think.

I wonder how many curlers there are in Charlotte.

Patel Ousts F.B.I. Personnel Tied to Inquiry Into Trump’s Retained Classified Records

Patel promised Senators in confirmation hearings: “There will be no politicization at the FBI. There will be no retributive actions taken by any FBI.”
He lied. He just fired another 10 agents who served in Jack Smith's investigation.

The creator of Einstein wants to free students from acquiring the skills and experiences that their diploma certifies they have acquired.

Similarly, meanwhile, I would like to free myself of having to have the $$ in the bank to cover checks I write.

There's a gif of DVO left hanging by Trump last night, if you're into that kind of thing.

Trump points at Democrats and says, "these people are crazy. I'm telling you. They're crazy." (Note that Pete Hegseth and the rest of the cabinet are standing and cheering.)

Rep. Jonathan Jackson confirms that Mike Johnson rejected a request to have a tribute for his father Jesse Jackson in the US Capitol

There's a term in sports for this behavior: jock sniffing.
If you're not on the team, it's embarrassing to try and get into the locker room.
I once heard the political author John Heilemann say that he gets backstage at U2 shows because he knows the band, like he was Cool by association.
Yeah, no.

Former ICE instructor will testify as whistleblower that agents taught to violate Fourth Amendment The instructor, who is an attorney, plans to tell a forum sponsored by Congressional Democrats that the procedures in entering homes are not taught appropriately.

A former ICE instructor is expected to testify that new agents are trained to run roughshod over constitutional rights, including the right against a home invasion, and that the federal agency is “broken."

To eat a pancake, you need a fork. To catch a mouse, you need a trap.
Voting is a right. None of that other stuff is.

Politicians of all stripes are not trusted because they don't say what's obviously true: riding the bus shouldn't include witnessing urination up close and it's okay to say so.
