The phrase “NO confirmed ambassadors” is highlighted in gold for emphasis.

Seven embassies. No ambassadors. Rubio’s 🤮 masterclass in diplomatic failure.

All I can say is, I hope there’s a feminist punk band somewhere in the world named The Queers of Hormuz writing songs about climate change.

Kristi Noem’s term as governor freshly roasted by former South Dakota mayor Noem was fired by Trump from her role as DHS secretary on Thursday

Mike Levsen, the former mayor of Aberdeen in Noem’s home state of South Dakota, says her dismissal came as no surprise given her “lack of any significant accomplishment” during her time as governor of the state. "The Noem governorship covered six years—then did a Sarah Palin and quit,” Levsen wrote

The answer is that Charles Koch and allied billionairea bought the seats of most of the Republicans in Congress and all six Republicans on the Supreme Court, and Koch and the billionaires also want to destroy America
