Did this single trader bet more than $34,000 that Kristi Noem would be fired this month just a couple of hours before she was in fact fired?

Kristi Noem gave her political operative a no-bid contract worth $143,000,000 of taxpayer money to make Fox News ads starring her at Mt. Rushmore. We will be following this story on a daily basis if it turns out that Hunter Biden was involved.

As I said, I’m always wrong.

I'm pretty sure this guy doesn't know what "human rights" means.

Are we sure Trump didn't get a taste?

I doubt she'll be fired soon. Trump won't do it during a DHS shutdown and the chaos around ICE. So, all Noem needs is another scandal from another department to distract attention, which in this administration should just be a matter of hours.

Then again, my predictions are rarely correct.

Once you start torpedoing ships in international waters, that are not involved in conflict, you cease to have a limited theater of war.

You have taken a war global.

Every single US asset and citizen, worldwide, just became a target.

Catastrophically reckless.

Well if this ain't just the 10th amendment fact pattern from hell. I don't see how the federal government can require a state to continue permitting someone to practice before its own courts consistent with the principle of divided sovereignty. public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-04390.p...

ICE goons stole property from people and then refused to return it. Only after the judge threatens to put a govt lawyer in prison do most of those cases “resolve”, while the govt admits some property is simply gone. (Recall reports of ICE selling electronics they took from people.)

The open-air corruption in this administration is striking, until you recall that's Trump's MO. Do crazy stuff and act like it's normal, and somehow people accept it. What's surprising about Polymarket is that they're hiding behind anonymity. I'd have expected Trump to brag about it.

When you're a star, they let you do it.

If only this guy had had a say on whether to confirm Noem to her office.

Update, 1:25 p.m. March 3: In a move that melds the unprofessionalism of the Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi with the rule-by-shifting-Truth-social-decrees attitude of President Donald Trump, the two DOJ lawyers on the law firm executive order cases filed a motion on Tuesday to withdraw their Monday motion to dismiss the law firm order case appeals. Yes, now DOJ wants to continue the appeals. The motion provided no reasoning for the reversal, with Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward and Deputy Associate Attorney General Abhishek Kambli simply stating that “it is the prerogative of Defendant-Appellants to pursue this appeal.“ Per the motion, the lawyers for the law firms “oppose the government’s unexplained request to withdraw yesterday’s voluntary dismissal, to which all parties had agreed.“ They also noted that, regardless, this should not provide DOJ with yet another excuse for delay in the case, specifically referencing DOJ’s forthcoming Friday deadline for filing its combined brief in the appeals.

Thom Tillis … who is not running for reelection. And don’t think that is immaterial when it comes to periodically showing flashes of a spine.

The reporting on this, from a variety of sources, is really troubling.

The war's limited objectives:
-Destroy nuclear program
-Degrade ballistic missile capabilities
-Bring the armies of the world together to fight at the End Times and bring about the return of Christ

“Protected under law” is a nice way of saying that Trump is illegally deporting people.

Got a cab near the Department of Education. Hadn’t seen the Charlie Kirk banner before.

First Venezuela, then Iran, and there's rumbling about Cuba. When will Democrats learn their lesson and stop talking about the Epstein files?

So, it’s important to think about equilibrium effects. I’m not a fan of local govt cooperating with ICE on the principle that ICE is out of control and abusing people’s rights.

But, gutting cooperation will shift their attention and effort in unpredictable ways.

Radiohead is demanding that the Trump administration take down a pro-ICE promotional video featuring a version of its song “Let Down” without permission.

Full statement from the band:

Do we have a count of how many judges have threatened the government with contempt in the past month?? This seems to be getting out of control.

I’m could be outraged, or I could just remember that everything the Trump administration says is pretextual. Of course they don’t care about religious services being interrupted.

Impersonating a police officer, making up a fake missing child poster, kidnapping a student without a warrant. Ho-hum in Trump's America.

If I made a list of judges about whom it’s especially inadvisable to say stuff like this, Royce Lambeth would be at the top.

after failed military incursion, us government responds with economic sanctions

The president doesn't give a flip about Medicaid fraud.

In June, Trump commuted Lawrence Duran's 50 year sentence for filing over 860,000 fraudulent Medicaid claims worth about $200 million.

He had commuted one of Duran's co-conspirators' sentences in his first term.
