Facts are not the point. The point is to have The Leader define reality as he sees fit. A system that is tried periodically and, so far, fails in the end

The narrator named Reality calls bullshit on Noem, Trump, et al, and the sub on this NYT article.

I'm sure it's doctor's orders. Then he will do whatever Stephen Miller, Russel Vought, and his Crypto Bros and bank account tell him to do. Excuse me, accounts.

Well there you go, in addition to knowing how to make an illegal profit from insider trading on information from her former buddy DJT, and getting away with it, MTG is also able to see threats to her reelection which at this point is her own party and by golly, can she do a 180 at a full sprint.

Like Trump, the Supreme Court conservative majority obviously does not care about what Congress has to say, only about their claimed ability to mind read what the founders wanted which actually involves their own biases which, to be fair, are indeed from the 18th Century. Or the Dark Ages.

It's all part of Trump's mad King George strategy, in which troops will be arbitrarily billeted in American homes and we will have to pay to feed soldiers that King Donald stations to oversee us.*

*I am just extrapolating from all the facts to reach the logical conclusion at the end of this trend.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.

I think Jared has to get in line behind Stephen Miller and Russell Vought when it comes to mastering Trump's puppet strings.

Though whoever placed that bitcoin position right before Trump announced those new China tariffs is, like a 192 million dollar master.

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors
