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."

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

The GOP hates the troops. "Suckers and losers," I believe is what the top Republican called them.

We've been doing this "it was a one-off, unintentional" charade for almost three years now, and across two administrations, as the US, Israel, and Russia continue to mass murder civilians in schools, hospitals, hotels, and apartment buildings.

Don't worry, the president thinks that any soldiers who lose their lives are suckers and losers anyway.

Here are 4 districts the TX GOP gerrymandered to gain seats in November, with the Dem and GOP primary vote. Dems outvoted GOPs in every one of them.

Seems like easy political messaging. "Elon Musk made you pay TurboTax so he can sell tax filing back to you (and also he stole your social security data)."

We were so close. I long considered getting rid of the tax filing rent seekers as a solid political win.

The Trump administration does not care and thinks these people are disposable. They were 42, 39, 35 and 20--an outright tragedy.

This is important and it will not get the coverage it needs.

Ashame it takes announcing retirement for any of these people to find a spine.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

BREAKING: Trump has nominated Bradford P. Wilson, of the conservative, anti-LGBTQ+ and Opus Dei-tied Witherspoon Institute and the charter school organization Great Hearts Institute (and formerly Exec Director of Princeton's James Madison Program) to be Archivist of the United States.

If this is true then it's just in time for all of those "In defense of just toppling world leaders" articles that just got going.

Always worth remembering that among this chaos are many in Trump world who think that Israel blowing up the Middle East will hasten the return of Jesus, a desirable outcome for them, they believe, but certainly not for the Jews. Christian Zionists are a core faction of the Republican coalition.

Warfare in the 2020s has so far been about legitimizing schools, hospitals, and apartment buildings as targets (along with AI).

I think it is fairly obvious why these people, who built their careers exaggerating the power of college students and professors, see Bouie as their nemesis.
