Kristi Noem blasts “foreigners” for dangerous driving. According to the Rapid City Journal, that state’s court records show Noem had 20 speeding tickets dating back to 1989, alongside other violations, including failure to stop at an intersection and invalid license plates.

the one part of this awful video I found inspiring is the moment when the cam pans back and you see an array of upstanding Americans with their smartphones out filming these gutter thugs. that's really the symbol of the opposition. the smartphone and its embedded video cam.

This is gone now. The East Wing lobby two years ago.

Hegseth is such a fraud lol!

The National Trust for Historic Preservation warned that President Trump’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom would “overwhelm the White House itself,” which spans just 55,000 square feet. https://wapo.st/4hmL8rC

Is there religious revival among Gen Z? PITTSBURGH (RNS) — There’s a swell in Christian devotion at the University of Pittsburgh amid claims of national revival, but some researchers say ‘revival’ is too strong a word.

Great look at some booming campus ministries in Pittsburgh - and sorting out all the talk of religious revival among young people might mean. Bravo @kathrynpost.bsky.social

The metaphorical aspects of this are tragic. Our heritage demolished before our eyes. Also, here's Trump in July: "It won’t interfere with the current building. It won’t be. It’ll be near it but not touching it — and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of."

MTG slams the Trump administration for bailing out Argentina:

“Americans are getting decimated by the high cost of living and skyrocketing insurance costs… Tell me how it’s ‘America First’ to bail out a foreign country with $20 or even $40 BILLION in taxpayer dollars.”

Five major broadcast networks say they will not sign new Pentagon press policy The policy says reporters could have their press passes revoked if they publish information that has not been authorized for release by the Pentagon.

Trump can’t even make up conspiracy theories correctly

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

Tariffs Are Way Up. Interest on Debt Tops $1 Trillion. And DOGE Didn’t Do Much. The books have closed on the U.S. government’s fiscal 2025. Here’s what has changed about the federal budget—and what hasn’t.
