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.

I’m mildly surprised that Republican voters and America Firsters have bought Scott Bessent’s bullshit that American taxpayers aren’t shipping billions to Argentina to bail out the massive personal investments of Bessent’s friends. I guess loyalty to these crooks takes precedent.

Considering how much the press ignored the last protests, maybe we should plan for big crowds around TV stations and newspapers to make it hard for them to get to work. At least then they couldn't pretend they didn't notice.

Shutting down the House is not a strategy. It’s an abdication. A failure. And yes, an embarrassment. Even MTG is calling out the GOP for shutting down the government.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

We cannot put our kids’ health and safety on the line. WA Dems will fight every step to get them the care they need.

DOJ prosecutors in Virginia under Erik Seibert didn't believe they gathered enough evidence to charge Letitia James.

So Trump pressured Seibert to resign and replaced him with a loyalist (and former personal attorney) who would.

Even Nixon made efforts to hide his corruption.
