Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

"They have this plan to essentially never respond to what voters actually want, let alone need. They can just throw money at this problem forever & they think it's working so far."

@alexshephard.bsky.social says Musk & Trump think they can get away with enacting their agenda by "buying elections."

SCOOP: ICE Revoking Students’ Immigration Statuses Without Their or the University’s Knowledge “Never seen something like this,” say university officials about the secret targeting of Middle Eastern students.

This is what happens in dictatorships. Lawyers, judges, and the rest of us have to stand up. We know universities won't.

I Was Suspended for Pro-Palestine Speech Amid AI-Generated Smears Rather than investigate the source of these allegations, Yale Law School accepted them at face value.

“I am being targeted for one reason alone: for speaking the truth about the genocide of the Palestinian people that Yale University is complicit in.”

BREAKING: I just offered an amendment on the floor to give Veterans fired in the Trump-Musk layoffs their jobs back.

Every single Republican blocked it.

Shame on them for betraying our heroes.

Screenshot of a McConnell tweet declaring “this week in the Senate proved that clumsy partisan jams will not work” after he filibustered a Democratic spending bill and Democrats agreed to allow a McConnell-preferred clean bill to pass to avert a shutdown.

In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.

Mostly? 🤣

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

As long as AIPAC owns the Democratic Party nothing is gonna change.

Hang in there.

You can’t be owned by AIPAC and being democratic.

MSNBC getting rid of anybody that says anything bad about Israel. Lining up perfectly with ZioNN.

Trump policies make US ‘scary place to invest’ and risk stagflation, says Stiglitz Uncertainty created by tariffs and contempt for rule of law will deter investment, says top economist

Thank you @guardianheather.bsky.social for the interview. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste.

Hard to overemphasize how much of the activity on X is not organic but rather is online ops and how dangerous it is that Musk—while high on drugs and for almost 24 hours a day—marinates in and uplifts the content within this environment as though it were organic representation of popular sentiment.

Trump administration orders sweeping freeze of all federal aid In a two-page memo, the Office of Management and Budget ordered all federal agencies to temporarily suspend payments.

Dear god:

“Trump’s budget office ordered an expansive freeze…of ‘all federal financial assistance,’ a move that could HALT PAYMENTS WITHIN DAYS TO STATES AND U.S. HOUSEHOLDS THAT RECEIVE ASSISTANCE LIKE SNAP FOOD AID…Social Security and Medicare won’t be affected.”
