Well, Noem appears to have grifted millions out of the DHS budget for her own use, so that'd could be an appealing perk. Plus he'd be in charge of the department that's likely to screw with elections the most in the fall, but who's to say if he'd be any more effective at that than Noem.

Not that Noem would've said or done anything different, but Markwayne is gonna be leading DHS and ICE during the midterms.

Leave the Kurds Alone. We Are Not Guns for Hire
Sulaymaniah, Iraq - In 1991, the Kurds were urged to rise up against the regime of Saddam Hussein, only to be abandoned when priorities changed. No one came to our defense when the regime deployed helicopter gunships and tanks to crush the uprising. Those memories remain vivid and etched in our minds.
Today, we commemorate that chapter as "Raparin" and we do not forget what it taught us.
More recently, we saw what happened in Northeast Syria, or Rojava. After all the promises that were made, after Syria's Kurds stood on the front lines of the war against ISIS, we witnessed how they were treated.
Today, the Kurds of Iraq have finally tasted a measure of stability and dignity in life. Because of this, it is very difficult, indeed impossible, for Kurds to accept being treated as pawns by the world's superpowers.
The experiences are there. The empty promises are there. Too often, the Kurds are remembered only when their strength or sacrifice is needed. For that reason, I appeal to all sides involved in this conflict. Leave the Kurds alone. We are not guns for hire.

Look, when the day comes, it's going to be very hard to get some people to get off the "norms/turn the page" bandwagon, but the least, and already established, thing we can do is prosecute the fuck out of everyone for perjury. All these people have lied under oath. Start there, at the lowest bar.

I have decided to become an office cat to provide proper managerial oversight to my employee/food provider.

That the space heater is also in the office is purely a coincidence.

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

I keep seeing the "OUR 50 YEAR WAR WITH IRAN" headlines and think, dang, really? Then maybe we should've come down harder on those Reagan administration guys for selling arms to Iran and using the proceeds to seed an illegal slush fund for far-right counterrevolutionaries in Central America

I initially shared this, not knowing it was a Claude screenshot (because, having never used Claude, I didn’t know what Claude screenshots looked like), and since I’d seen similar claims in other sources I assumed this was journalism. But I should have checked it before sharing. Apologies, all.
