On Cricket’s sad gravel burial pile, a small tribute and a wee inscription:

“There are no bad dogs, only bad owners.”

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Kindergarten picture.

No

Texas republicans just pissed off a ton of voters by shutting down county wide voting in Dallas, and blocking the polls staying open until 9.

Jasmine Crockett is a class act. 💙

Jayapal: DHS is supposed to be protecting our residents. You have actually turned the United States government against its own residents. Yours is a case of failed leadership secretary, you need to resign, be fired, or be impeached.

Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.”

Have you ever heard of 100$ processing fee to withdrawal your own money from a 401K from a job you left.

BREAKING: New York City reports the lowest levels of shootings, shooting victims, and murders ever recorded for the first two months of a year. Major crime is down nearly 8% citywide, burglary hit a record low, and retail theft dropped 25%

WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?

NOEM: Yes

WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?

NOEM: No.

🤥 @KristiNoem today: “I didn’t call Alex Pretti a domestic terrorist.”

FLASHBACK: she sure did 👇🏽

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

I feel like I'm screaming into a void here. Trump is torturing trans people in federal prisons by forcibly "de-transitioning" them, ie using "conversion therapy". transitics.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

Sometimes I REALLY wanna cuddle the kitten, but she's not into it. She wants to play and roughhouse...only. 😹 Today I tried picking her up and she punched me in the face then rammed her whole paw into my mouth. Cats only do what they want. 😹😹😹

My baby is back in print today 🥰

A woman trying to save her city has to slit a few throats to do it in this noir-inspired dark fantasy world, a story I wanted to tell that was the reason I became a writer.

Trump's comments about the UK go to show why you should NEVER try to pander to him. He is a narcissistic psychopath who will expect more and more each time you placate him.

How cringe giving him that fake 2nd state tour looks now. As we all said it would.

That’s it for Dan Crenshaw.

Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.

She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.

Fuckery is going on in Texas. Ken Paxton is screwing with the Democratic primary.

The Political HQ

A massive Democratic overperformance in Arkansa

🚨BREAKING🚨

Democrat Alex Holladay has defeated Republican Bryan Renshaw in the Arkansas State House District 70 Special Election.

This is a flip from 🔴 to 🔵.

Yep!

@jamestalarico.bsky.social Talarico needs to get out on front of the cameras *now* and denounce the shenanigans around the voting extension. He needs to be seen to be supporting Crockett and the Democratic system.

Republicans/Paxton trying to steal the Democratic voters votes in Dallas County…

When Talarico or Crockett ends up winning, we will stay one party and throw our support behind the candidate.

They are both great.

And I will pledge to block walk for the candidate.

DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime?

NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of

D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?

Tom Tillis has been DESTROYING Noem for the last five minutes.

That’s weird. Read the room, dude.
