What $70 million in taxpayer money buys: a private luxury jet for Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski to jet-set around on.
And we’re supposed to believe it’s used for deporting undocumented immigrants.

When you wonder why I castigate my fellow citizens more often than our leaders, consider that the United States is *this far* from war with a nation of 90 million people and no one seems to give a hoot.
It's not like they don't know; ten minutes of watching the news would tell them.

The Dictator’s Daughter
On succession in North Korea.
It may be that Kim Jong-un is preparing to designate his daughter his successor -- the fourth Kim in that brutal dynasty. A female dictator would be rare, if not unprecedented. I have written an article on the subject. Grim, but speckled with (dark) humor. www.thenextmove.org/p/the-dictat...

Shameful—but in a way useful. No one should any longer pretend we have a “Department of Justice.” We have a Department of Trump.

Virginia Giuffre’s Brother: It was disgraceful that Bondi couldn't even acknowledge us because if they did that, then they would admit wrongdoing. Our president can't do that. The reason is he is potentially implicated in these files. He may have to answer some questions himself.

Verge headline: Mark Zuckerberg is taking the stand as social media goes on trial
by Lauren Feiner

The way that Meta and YouTube designed their products — allegedly luring users into a nonstop loop of taps and scrolling — is at the heart of this month’s bellwether social media trial, which sets the stage for thousands of similar lawsuits.

Judge Orders Hearings for Immigration Detainees and Condemns ‘Terror Against Noncitizens’
As tensions mount between the Trump administration and the courts, the judge called “shameless” a claim by officials that her earlier order was not binding.
In a fiery ruling that accused the government of failing to follow court orders, a federal judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security to notify thousands of immigrants detained nationwide that they can join a lawsuit against the government and get either a hearing or be immediately released.

I notice they're running campaign ads against Alex Bores (who is running to replace Nadler in Congress) because he worked for and raised money from Palantir. On the face of it, they're very persuasive.
