First, Kristi Noem threw a temper tantrum over her blankie being left on a plane.
Now, Pete Hegseth is kicking photographers out because their pictures aren’t flattering enough.
Photographers are there to document the news, not stroke the egos of politicians.
Get over yourself.
A whistleblower said that a former DOGE staffer stole entire databases of Social Security data & is using them at a private firm.
This is a horrific breach of Americans' most sensitive information.
For over a year, we've warned that the Trump admin is making us vulnerable.
$2 million on Alaskan king crab.
$6.9 million on lobster tail.
$26,000 on sushi preparation tables.
$21,750 for a custom handmade Japanese flute.
$3,160 on stickers with children's characters.
This is how the Pentagon decided to waste your taxpayer dollars.
Markwayne Mullen, Trump's new DHS Secretary pick, is one of Congress' most active stock traders.
He reportedly entered Congress with $12M & has reportedly grown his wealth to $65M.
He's already making shady deals - if he's confirmed, the conflicts of interest can only grow.

Rather than doing his job of overseeing national parks and public lands, Secretary of Fossil Fuel Imperialism Doug Burgum is doing TV hits for Trump, claiming that higher gasoline prices are a “small price to pay” while ordinary people lose their lives in an immoral war of choice.
Howard Lutnick must resign.
He lied before Congress about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
He had prior fraud allegations raised by the FBI.
He has made potential ethics violations since taking office.
The American people deserve better.
Read our letter that calls on Pfizer CEO Bourla to retract his threat and pledge to not withdraw drugs from, or delay launches in, other countries: www.citizen.org/article/publ...
Get a load of this S#$%:
Pfizer's CEO said European nations must pay even more for medicines or risk losing their supply.
Does he want to hold drugs hostage at the expense of human lives to make a little more money?
Pfizer must end this threat & take accountability for its high drug prices!
Trump signed an executive order to have the military subsidize coal power plants - and taxpayers are paying for it.
This is yet another example of Trump’s failed energy policies.
He must be held accountable for his campaign lie to slash American's utility prices.
Immigrant truck drivers keep this country running.
The Trump administration's cruel push to bar them from obtaining their commercial driver's licenses will only worsen the cost-of-living crisis Americans face every day.
We're suing to stop this illegal rule.
Reminder: The Trump admin shut down the FREE IRS tax filing tool Direct File.
This program helped make life more affordable by making it easier for families to claim benefits.
This almost literally takes money straight from our pockets and shoves it to tax prep companies.
On the campaign trail, Trump promised no new wars and making life more affordable for Americans.
But the grifter-in-chief is delivering the exact opposite: an illegal & unnecessary war with Iran that will ultimately worsen our affordability crisis across the board.
Out of approximately 4,000 yearly truck accidents, only 17 were caused by non-US citizens.
A new nonsensical Trump rule barring legal immigrants from getting commercial drivers licenses is based on nothing but prejudice.
We are asking the court to strike down this illegal & discriminatory rule.
In less than 1 week, Trump has wasted more than $5 BILLION of your taxpayer dollars on his war of choice on Iran.
That money could have covered the cost of SNAP for more than 2 million Americans for a year.
There's always money for war and never money for human needs.
A new lawsuit is alleging that Google's Gemini chatbot convinced a 36-year old man to take his own life.
This case serves as a reminder that Big Tech companies are recklessly prioritizing profits over human lives.
How many more lives must be lost before this tech is properly regulated?
Trump's reckless & avoidable war on Iran and it has already cost taxpayers more than $5 BILLION.
$5 BILLION down the drain in less than a week on a war Americans don’t want.
But somehow we don't have money for health care or housing.
97% of the 35,000 comments submitted to the National Capitol Planning Commission on Trump's ballroom project were negative.
This public outrage forced the Commission to postpone their final approval vote by a MONTH.
We're showing Trump that he can't mess with the People's House.
The National Capitol Planning Commission is meeting to discuss Trump's tacky ballroom project.
This project is riddled with conflicts of interest, pay-to-play government contracts & dropped enforcement actions against donors.
Protesters gathered against this outrageous project.
Someone placed a $553,000 Polymarket bet that Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, would be out of power just before he was killed.
Who made this bet? Did they have prior knowledge of the military action?
At MINIMUM we need transparency & oversight of these abominable markets.
Ladies and gentleman: Trump's new nominee to be DHS Secretary.
GOOD RIDDANCE ALERT: Famed dog killer Kristi Noem has been fired as DHS Secretary.
Just imagine being too deranged, corrupt and incompetent for this ridiculously deranged, corrupt and incompetent administration 🫠
Trump said that we could be at war with Iran for a month or longer.
An endless horror show of death and destruction.
How is it that we always have the money for bombs & wars of choice, but never enough to fund Medicare for All???
Check out our latest report on why these individuals must resign from the National Capitol Planning Commission: www.citizen.org/news/three-t...
3 of Trump's cronies are on the commission that will likely rubber-stamp the ballroom project.
These unqualified, Trump-appointed individuals are a marine ecologist, political operative, & a lawyer.
None have the necessary city planning experience to serve on this commission.
Yesterday, Kristi Noem told the Senate that DHS's $220 MILLION taxpayer funded TV ad was competitively bid.
Today, she told the House it was a no-bid contract.
She completely contradicted herself.
How is the public supposed to trust a “leader" who lies under oath?
The Pentagon is set to ask Congress for $50 BILLION to fund Trump's war on Iran.
This won't be a one time ask.
It opens the door for Trump to bloat the Pentagon at the drop of a hat.
Not another penny for Trump's illegal & unnecessary war.
This war needs to end, NOW!
Kristi Noem didn't just waste your taxpayer dollars on a luxury DHS jet.
She also fired a Coast Guard pilot for not moving her blankie to her fancy new plane.
This isn't "leadership" - it's a temper tantrum.
Noem lacks the maturity to lead DHS
What happened to separation of church and state? www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...
Nothing like invoking "misguided religion" to justify an illegal and avoidable war when some fanatical U.S. military commanders are literally telling troops this is a "biblically sanctioned" war.
