No concerns or comments on this from the MAHA folks, I guess?

Yeah, sure, its the 'sentencing disparity' he's concerned about.
Goddam grifters, power chasers, unserious people

Very cool, been wanting to do that for a while. Done!

Seems like the only thing Rs are concerned about is whether the Pentagon is doing exactly what Trump wants, or just kinda. Doesn't really seem to be pushback on the actual legality or ethics of their actions.
Of course

If any #AWP26 attendees are still in Baltimore on Sunday March 8, you might enjoy our "Frederick Douglass’ Fell’s Point: Stories of Liberation in Black Maritime Baltimore" walking tour that evening...

He's moving her to a new position.
Did she really betray his trust?
Or did she just make some thing inconvenient.
Mullin isn't going to be better.
And Noem fails-up to a new, probably grander position with more opportunities to grift.
I doubt this is much of a win.

I know nothing about her hubby but if her scary DHS position was the reason he wasn't divorcing the two-timing wife, well, hopefully he'll get his chance

Yup
Worked for a small bespoke WBT company for 10 years. The large govt RFPs we invested response to were few for exactly that reason.
And/But, the even fewer ones we did win, we often had planned updates built into the contract...and, occasionally, had to partner with a larger, established vendors.

Noem’s luxury β€˜deportation’ jet is the tip of the ICE-berg Kristi Noem’s DHS has acquired at least nine new aircraft in recent weeks, with another one on the way. Half are luxury jets.

This plane joins the 70 million dollar luxury 737 you may have heard about β€” N471US β€” and the two Gulfstream 650s DHS also recently acquired β€” N472US and N473US β€” which you probably haven’t heard about unless you read my story here: gillianbrockell.ghost.io/noems-luxury...

Yes, at minimum, all courts should do this. Make Noem directly responsible for DHS ignoring the courts.

I just want an app to remind me to check my fly before I leave the house. But alas, Big Tech doesn't care about old men.

The results are in, back the blue that matters to you.
Crockett had a good record and great hammer-the-GOP viral clips.
I don't know Talarico's local record. I like what he says but the recent Sin-Fett burns still hurt.
I hope Talarico wins and stays true to the words he's spoken.

Trump Labor Secretary Caught Using Govt Funds for Her Birthday Party The birthday party was β€œrenamed” in order to avoid greater scrutiny about using public funds.

Man, remember when someone would resign in shame for shit like this. Sure, they might end up with some sweet media gig, but at least they weren't running the joint. newrepublic.com/post/207234/...

Our members of Congress need to hear loud and clear:

β˜‘οΈ Americans want healthcare,
clean energy, affordable housing,
education …

❌ NOT another immoral and costly forever war in the Middle East.

So Google is just gonna intercept the search result and, instead of showing the site you click and expect, show their own AI version instead?
