It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

This is so much worse than what took down Nixon, difference was that then the media did not like Nixon and wasn't trying to help him and today the media is controlled by the Epstein-Oligarch class and so is part of the same conspiracy that Trump is and buries it
This is crazy — why is Pam Bondi *defiantly* awarding privilege to an email that was only between Jeff Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell, about Donald Trump’s relationship with Epstein? www.youtube.com/shorts/eAbuj...

This is a 3,600-word piece airing every bit of dirt Noem's detractors have aired in the last year, presumably to try to get her (and Corey) ousted.

2 words that don't appear anywhere? "Stephen Miller."

I just quote posted a 🧵 on the mess w/CBP being given a laser weapon by Hegseth to try out for their operations along the southern border. There are a couple of different reasons this was both bad overall & just not a very smart thing to do. 1/

Trump posted a video depicting the first Black president and his wife as apes and his excuse for this is that it's a riff on The Lion King, a movie that does not feature any apes. Somehow this was a one-day story and we've already moved on.

The blanket thing from the headline. They are simultaneously extraordinarily petty, mean, and deeply stupid.

Noem “closely monitored how her national profile compared with other officials. Top of her list was Homan, with whom she has been in a battle for power.

“Noem routinely berated staff if she saw Homan on TV and kept track of both their appearances to make sure she was on TV more than him”

What a story:

“Lewandowski and Noem, both married, have denied the reports of the affair, but people said they do little to hide their relationship.

“The pair have been using a luxury 737 MAX jet, with a private cabin in back, for their travel around the country”

honestly tired of trying to convince people that trump's immigration policy is not really about violent undocumented immigrants or even just undocumented immigrants, but immigrants in general and even non-white people more broadly.
cool, cool. so we are sort of like citizens, but not really?

incredible watching this administration- everything is treated like a problem they just need to dispatch a fixer to sweep under the rug. White House's reaction to literally anything is to conscript some random and often totally incongruous official Chernobyl Boris Shcherbina-style but to go on TV

sharing this as if it just happened (this story is from eight years ago) really hides the important reminder that DHS was broken way before the current administration.

Epstein-Barr, herpes, and shingles vaccines shelved should get people hounded out of society. That’s beyond anti-vaccine or anti-intellectualism. It’s reactionary know-nothingism. If there’s such a thing as technological solutionism, this is tech problematicizing.
