Trump has been lighting a lot of fuses around the world and many of them should detonate just around the time of the midterm elections.

ICE confirms a measles outbreak in the nation's largest detention facility in Texas The agency said it's closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with public health authorities while the facility has been closed to visitors and attorneys.

ICE confirms measles!

β€œRep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX), whose El Paso district includes the detention center, said the facility is closed to visitors & attorneys because of the outbreak. In addition to the 14 people who got sick, 112 other individuals have been isolated in connection to the outbreak.”

Rand Paul has been Trump’s Republican nightmare in the Senate and it’s only going to get more hilarious.πŸ˜‚

(To be clear, Rand Paul has been a lapdog for most of Trump’s time in office, but better late than never.)

Look on the bright side. Fresh water could soon be more valuable than oil.

Good news. Fresh water could soon be more valuable in the region than oil!🧡

I’m afraid he’ll put up a fight. Literally. He’s a former MMA fighter if you can’t tell from his conduct.

C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is β€œspecial military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.

Meet Markwayne Mullin, Trump’s nominee to replace Kristi Noem as DHS secretary. Remember this gem from November 2023?🀑

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

How do we break this to Noem? Like a dog, she’s being sent to a farm upstate where she can spend her days happily chasing squirrels β€” and then BLAM!

Now fire Kash Patel for pushing out the senior agents investigating these breaches or assigning them to deportation duties.

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

The only reason we are alive to debate this issue today is because Stanislav Petrov decided to ignore a malfunctioning computer in 1983 and thus saved the planet from nuclear annihilation.🧡

Here’s a piece I wrote in 2007 about how an over-reliance on militarized drug war tactics has basically thinned out the herd and ensured only the most efficient and adaptive operations survived. We’ve been selectively breeding highly evolved supertraffickers for decades. Sit this one out, Stephen.

If it feels like Trump appointed the most incompetent people imaginable to run the federal government, it’s because that was the plan. Bannon and the Broligarchs wanted to smash the administrative state and rebuild it in their own corrupt fascist imagine. Each department head was a wrecking ball.🧡

Trump should listen to the Donald Trump of 1990 when it comes to drug policy.

Miller thinks it’s common sense to throw water on to a fire to extinguish it, but this isn’t common crime and he doesn’t understand that drug prohibition acts as a price support for traffickers. He’s basically throwing water on to a grease fire. He’s amplifying their motivational feedback loop.♻️

Under the Third Reich, interpreting Hitler’s words and taking initiative to implement his remarks was called β€œworking toward the FΓΌhrer.”

China no longer buys US exports: Drawing the right lessons for the next Trump-Xi deal China essentially stopped buying US exports in April 2025. President Donald Trump had started his second term by launching a new trade war that he headlined with steep new tariffs on China. When China...

Without Trump’s trade wars since 2017, US exports to China would have been nearly 60 percent higher in 2025, or roughly $90 billion annually.

Watch Rep Joe Neguse (D-CO) take apart Kristi Noem (R-SD) with surgical precision over her corrupt and fraudulent $200 million no bid ad campaign for DHS. This man never ceases to amaze me with how good he is at this. Great job congressman!!🎯🎯🎯
