For people not from South Dakota, this is the best primer on Noem that I’ve seen.
Also, I somehow never knew how her dad died until I watched this. I just knew it was a farming accident.

Coordinated a beer drop by a white friend to deliver a 30-rack of Hamm’s to a Hispanic friend’s doorstep because his wife wouldn’t let him leave the house to go buy more beer for fear he’d be brutalized by lawless armed masked federal paramilitaries. This is Minnesota community. We take care of us.

DOJ is trying to block an independent monitor for the Epstein files, arguing courts can’t enforce the Epstein Transparency Act and lawmakers lack standing. Their position amounts to no court can force the DOJ to release the records.

I'm curious sometimes why Trump has decided to give up all of his power and authority to Stephen Miller, but my guess is he's simply too infirm and weak to do anything about it

The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.
Getty photographer was tackled by about 50 agents while covering Whipple.
He threw his camera at another photographer to prevent it from being confiscated.

What's really going to shock them is when they find out it's not just women and girls in the Epstein files.

Amazing that it takes a lawsuit simply to get ICE to obey the law.

And in this moment, this beautiful child would be falling into his mother for comfort but she has been taken.
We are raising a generation of children who are being traumatized by the state, and some of them will grow up angry because their parents were ripped away by force.

Trump has now REPEATEDLY said elections should be canceled: Kennedy Center ("democratic process wasn't necessary"), to Reuters ("we shouldn't even have an election"), multiple times same week. Press Sec claims "joking." You don't joke about ending democracy multiple times unless testing it.

Call it what it is. Door to door concentration camp round ups. You know when the full record comes to light there *will* be horrifying degrees of intentional genocide of non-whites in ICE facilities due if nothing else to over crowding. It is happening.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

I’d venture that many of the ICE officers wearing masks now are the same people who fiercely opposed wearing them during a global pandemic.

Hi guys!
CBS “News” blatantly lied to us about the fictitious “internal injuries” of Jonathan Ross to help spread propaganda for the admin.
That should piss you off.
