Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

This is that "plenary" authority Stephen Miller was referring to in the now edited CNN interview. Arguing that the president's deployment of troops is unreviewable by the courts is arguing that his power is plenary.

You know who takes a cognitive test? People whose family members suspect their loved one is suffering from dementia. If he kept getting “perfect” scores…they wouldn’t keep administering them. My take? He blew the first one he ever took. Now, they’re tracking the decline. I’d bet my hot coffee on it.

I’ve gotta say the speed with which many people bent a knee to fascism was not something I was prepared for.

That’s why the footage from Portland sparks so much hope.

People are fighting back in unique ways.

They’re making us smile. They’re fighting for freedom AND for joy.

The destruction of American democracy is well under way.

It would be much further along if team TACO wasn’t so fundamentally incompetent.

So I guess there’s that.

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

This DOJ is now completely corrupted by pam bondi. Any prosecutions she has ever done need to be questioned. She is the definition of a 'corrupt cop'.

People compare the United States' fascism today to Germany's fascism in the 1930s, but it's actually far more shameless and stupid.
