Kristi Noem has learned her lesson.

by Susan Collins

Trump didn’t fire Noem for incompetence. He fired her for admitting he approved it.

Pay attention to the verbs. Pay attention to who gets named. Pay attention to who “says” and who “did.”

That’s how perception is shaped - not with blatant lies, but with careful framing.

BREAKING: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton calls for an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged foreign intelligence ties.

Just to sum things up …. The Big Bill took Healthcare and Food assistance away from people who need it and gave the largest tax cut to the ultra wealthy .. but we have a trillion to the Defense department and over 100 billion for ICE …. 🤔. We suck

Secretary Rubio finally admitted the truth: Israel decided to act and we went along with their timing. For weeks we’ve heard shifting stories about Iran, missiles, and our role. This isn’t what many voted for.

Shameful indeed. But par for the course for Republicans.

That feeling was probably just an itch from whatever that is that's causing the zombie rot on his neck.

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.

I know many Americans are feeling hopeless this upcoming election. But I do urge everyone to go out and vote. I know it feels like a vicious and repetitious cycle but voting does make real change.

Thank you,
Your friendly election poll worker.

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Trump, wagging the dog.

Welp.

The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.

We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Why Attack Iran? Our Authoritarianism and Our Corruption

How to understand war with Iran? We must get away from propaganda. Facts suggest two interpretive frameworks: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the United States.

If you haven't read Larry Beinhart's "American Hero", renamed "Wag the Dog" after the success of the film, i highly recommend it.

It's more prophetic today than ever. #Iran
