NOEM: Yes
WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?
NOEM: No.

Absolutely. Take the author of that piece, Nicole Russell:

"As we noted yesterday, there is chatter in Democratic circles of a Republican-floated deal: What if, instead of these reforms the White House doesn’t want to agree to, we just made a deal to get rid of Noem?"

"And I think it does really get to this idea that so little of this is based on actual substance and primarily on settling a score against Iran, wanting to legacy build and, again, a lack of a real justification here,”

the mission was conducted as part of a NATO coalition and our country quickly moved into a supporting role rather than leading an open-ended war.

It’s true that presidents of both parties have stretched the War Powers framework.
Obama pushed the limits in Libya, continuing operations without explicit congressional authorization and arguing the U.S. role did not constitute “hostilities.”
But even then,
Trump and Hegseth have explicitly called this a war, a “major combat operations” and talking about an ongoing campaign against Iran. Launching the sustained hostilities of war, all without congressional authorization, is exactly the kind of decision the Constitution and the law assigns to Congress.

One of the worst takes I’ve heard is what Trump is doing in Iran is OK because Obama and Biden also ignored Congress.
That argument collapses under the smallest amount of scrutiny.
Link preview
The United States & Ecuador have launched joint military operations against “designated terrorist organizations” in that country.
WTF?

I’d swap out the word “week” with Trump Administration.
I’ve called this the coffee/Red Bull stage of my life.

The Trump White House saves a MAGA adviser via private jet, but won’t save regular Americans stranded in the Middle East.
I've got the latest on this outrageous maneuver to help a Trump consultant while the State Department scrambles to figure out a plan for others.
