Kristi Noem abruptly exits after question about CBP shooting balloon Federal officials initially claimed a cartel drone infiltrated U.S. airspace in bizarre incident

This #ElPaso stupidity happened because #kegseth and the boys are a bunch of high-schoolers who thought it would be cool to laser shit out of the sky.

That feels about right to me. I think industry titans like #ADM and #Nestle represent the intersection of Corporate Food and Corrupt Politics. It's a continuum.

There’s worse than we know to be uncovered in those Epstein Files.

@anandwrites.bsky.social I heard you on @ezraklein.bsky.social today. I want to help #ConchitaSarnoff get her book published. She'd be a great guest on a @muellershewrote.com podcast. The fabulous legume ladies are what independent media is all about. Maybe they can help. 🀞🏻

It was common knowledge among the ultra-wealthy that #Epstein was a #pedophile. They chose to remain silent to maintain access to celebrity, wealth, and power. I find joy in the fact that they are all living in terror of the moment they will inevitably be exposed.

All hail the rise of the Deportation Industrial Complex! Now that you're here, check out #GeorgeZoley, head of #GeoGroup, a primary contractor to #ICE operating #ConcentrationCamp services imprisoning innocent people in squalid, inhumane conditions. They had earnings of $2.63B in 2025.

I'm glad to be wrong about this. I should have remembered the old axiom to never attribute to malevolence what can be explained by stupidity.

So far, the air alert in #ElPaso has been called off. They claim cartels are flying drones in US territory. That feels like the beginning of a false narrative to justify incursion into #Mexico. Why would they scramble so many military aircraft other than to create a sense of urgency, and fear?!

I really like that you found a way to make a passion into an enjoyable career. I'm sorry you have health challenges. I appreciate the research you do. There are lots of unexpected relationships woven through your narratives.

US halts flights at Texas airport near Mexico border for 'security reasons' The U.S. has halted all flights to and from El Paso International Airport in Texas near the border with Mexico for "special security reasons," the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration said on Wednesda...

The #FAA closed the airspace around #ElPaso airport for 10 days for a "national defense issue". That's on the US-Mexico border. I believe this presages a "Hail Mary" attempt to distract attention from the #EpsteinFiles by attacking #Mexican #cartels. He's desperate

@thegoodliars.bsky.social interviewed #EdwardGoodwin, a State Rep. in #NorthCarolina, about the #Epstein files. He claimed all Presidents protect their rich, powerful friends, even pedophiles. Then he refused to give his name. Classy. #Resist

I hope creating these episodes is still enjoyable for you, because I would hate to think it's become a treadmill. I know I look forward to each release. They always go in so many unexpected directions.

We distributed these commemorative #ICEOUT towels to people arriving at the #SuperBowl at #LeviStadium in #SantaClara today. We were told some were being seized by guards at the stadium gates. Act with intent, and let go of the outcome. #Resist #FreeSpeech

-- Endit -- The scumbags finally struck today, officially, though they’ve been up to their scumbaggery for years.

#Bezos is systematically killing #WAPO. He has already silenced any criticism of the regime. Before he's done, he will bleed it for political influence, leaving only a burnt husk of a once great newspaper. Tragic! My heart goes out to the affected journalists.

I can't believe we have to fight a #Fascist #dictator in the US in this day and age. We should know better. We watched Germany in the 1930s. We know how this ends. When this is over, and your kids ask you what you did to fight the Fascists, what will you tell them? #Organize #Nonviolence #Resist
