BREAKING: Kristi Noem is now under Congressional investigation. Rep Garcia and Senator Blumenthal are demanding records from her for detaining 170 American citizens without warrants, charge, or lawyers.

Get her. 😡

Oooh this is juicy. This is from Jim Comey's response to Lindsay Halligan's motion to disqualify defense counsel Pat Fitzgerald, and to set up filter protocols over old warrants. THE DEFENSE HAS REASON TO BELIEVE WHAT? lol

WTAF? What did I just read @swin24.bsky.social?

This. Cannot. Be. Real? Can it? 🤢 open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

☕ What’s the Tea?
Trump kept trying to get his ‘Project 2025’ architect laid!
Over the weekend, Zeteo’s newest political reporter, Swin Suebsaeng, sent me the latest scoop he’s got from inside the weird Trump administration and, well, wait for it:

By mid-2024, Donald Trump and Project 2025 architect Russell Vought were talking on the phone fairly regularly. But it often wasn’t about policy. Trump – when he had downtime from campaigning and plotting his fascist presidency – appeared preoccupied with getting the recently divorced Vought laid, two knowledgeable sources tell me. Trump spoke to Vought, a self-described Christian nationalist who’s now one of the president’s most hardline enforcers, about the “gorgeous” and “beautiful ladies” who roam Trump’s club, Mar-a-Lago, so often that it “weirded out” some of his advisers, in one source’s words. Trump offered to be Vought’s wingman. And Trump spoke crudely of all the “pussy” that Vought would surely get as the president’s favorite “bachelor.”

OK, now I need to go take a shower. Ugh!

We couldn't find anyone among the 7 million+ No Kings attendees who says they were paid to protest. But X user @crypto4u1488 says each attendee was paid $750 by George Soros and bused in from other states. The truth may lie somewhere in between.

I looked at 38 papers. The NYT was one of only a few not to have it as the top story and photo

The handful of exceptions were pretty much all places with a big D1 football game

I genuinely don't understand why the NYT is so reticent to give coverage to one of the largest protests in history

NYT on the protests: sixth headline and third photo down. This is Saturday at 8pm

WSJ: protests are the top story and photo

Wapo: protests are the top story and photo

Chicago Tribune: protests are the top story and photo

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Pete Hegseth conducted a live fire exercise over I-5 as part of a made-for-Fox stunt for him and Vance which had a misfire that struck a Highway Patrol vehicle and could have killed people?

Who could have foreseen this?

They are specifically going after certain populations to take away their rights. Much like Nixon, they're targeting the young, the poor, and minorities.

Correct. Thanks exactly what I'm saying.
