Kristi Noem blasts β€œforeigners” 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.

Is there religious revival among Gen Z? PITTSBURGH (RNS) β€” There’s a swell in Christian devotion at the University of Pittsburgh amid claims of national revival, but some researchers say β€˜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 β€” and pays total respect to the existing building, which I’m the biggest fan of."

MTG slams the Trump administration for bailing out Argentina:

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.

The fact Fox News, Hegseth's former employer, has signed on to this joint statement speaks volumes.

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?!

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.

I kinda remember Trump pardoning a bunch of people for this, many of whom beat up cops and put them in the hospital. I think they were yelling something about the Vice President as they stormed the building.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
