Organized Curiosity

Kristi Noem will not be missed, but don't get it twisted.

Her replacement, Senator Mullin, is the same guy who bought between $15,000 and $50,000 in stock in oil companies and a defense contractor before Trump's invasion of Venezuela.

He's just another corrupt yes-man.

BREAKING: President Trump announced that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will be stepping down at the end of the month after serving for just over a year in her role and tapping Sen. Markwayne Mullin to take over her post.

Well would you look at that

It might be helpful if the US would actually arrange to evacuate its citizens before starting a pointless war.

Not counting my chickens, but it would be quite the self-own if Trump incited a redistricting Cold War that netted Democrats 5 seats in California and Republicans 1 seat in Texas.

James Talarico tonight:

"It doesn't matter what happens in this Republican runoff. We already know who we're running against: The billionaire mega-donors and their corrupt political system. Not any one politician ... We are running against the broken system and the powerful people who broke it."

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.”

The DOJ has been taking down Epstein files. Here's what remains. The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released.

Objection: What Happened in Dallas County Was Not a Glitch What happened in Dallas County tonight should scare the hell out of you.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*.

In March. Imagine November.

I broke it down here:

Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

I didn't sleep well last night & felt close to tears all morning.

I'm devastated that my brain tumors are back.

Truth is... the tears are never really far away, but you've all shown me an enormous amount of love & support over the last 9 months.

I have hope that better days are ahead.

Share! ❤️

I predict this man has a very bright future.

Congratulations, pal.

There was no imminent threat. The narrative keeps shifting. The nuclear claims are contradictory. So let’s start there.

As we just saw in the Pentagon press-con, there is no clear strategy.

This bipartisan Iran War Powers Resolution has been sitting with Speaker Johnson since June 2025.
🧵

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat.
No authorization from Congress.
No reason our service members should be dead.
And no exit plan or strategy.

This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.

Harrowing 911 calls capture children’s medical emergencies at Texas ICE facility Texas emergency crews dispatched nearly a dozen times in six months, according to call logs

How can this administration claim these aren’t concentration camps when we have calls with reports of children unable to breathe, suffering seizures and broken bones from these places.

The Dangerous Incoherence of Trump’s War With Iran The president doesn’t have a clear goal in Iran but thinks he can end the war before that becomes a problem. But the problem is: He can’t.

Trump, as always, is convinced that he decides when things start and when things end. When the time comes he will declare victory based on a set of criteria that he will invent for the sole purpose of crediting himself with yet another glorious “win.”

At least 153 girls killed in strike on school in southern Iran Eyewitness tells MEE girls aged between seven and 12 seen lying dead across their school

153 girls. Children. A school.

My niece just sent me this and I had to share. I don't know who created it or I would attribute them. Hope they don't mind.

I got my brain scan results.

I have cancer in my right parietal lobe & on the lining between my brain hemispheres again - smaller than in May, so that's good.

Not totally sure what it means yet, but I'll see my oncologist on March 10.

I will endure literally anything to be here with my family. ❤️

I'm so sorry to hear this. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts. Your strong will to live and love for your family are encouraging and inspiring. I know you will fight with everything you have 💪

Justice Department Exposed Cooperating Witnesses in Epstein Files

The Trump Justice Department exposed cooperating witnesses in the Epstein files:

After The New York Times confirmed that at least three of the seven people had in fact cooperated with the government, and then informed the department, agency officials took down the files.

Senator calls for DEA to provide info on "incredibly disturbing" Epstein drug investigation Federal drug enforcement investigators targeted Jeffrey Epstein and 14 others in a yearslong probe first reported by CBS News.

This is a big one. A newly uncovered document has revealed the existence of a mystery Epstein investigation. It was spearheaded by the DEA and involved drug trafficking and money laundering. Epstein was one of 15 targets. The other 14 names are redacted. I've got questions.

At least 9 people were killed in an attack on the U.S.consulate in Pakistan

This was confirmed by a correspondent of Radio Liberty’s Pakistani service at the scene.Several hours after reports of the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei,around five hundred Shia Muslims stormed the U.S. consulate

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).
