This got me- Ben Terris' NY Mag profile of "Top Goon" Kristi Noem quotes the 28-year-old Noem made Deputy Director of ICE saying:

“I absolutely think I’m qualified for the job,” she told me. “Because at the end of the day, what really makes anybody qualified for any job?”

Kristi Noem is the face of Trump’s police state. Corey Lewandowski is the muscle.

Rich @anniekarni.bsky.social read on Eleanor Holmes Norton's weakness at the DC oversight hearing.

"She often stumbled and sounded as if she was not following the meaning of what she said, emphasizing words that did not make sense to emphasize."

"Working-class lawmakers in Congress remain few and far between.

“Nothing has changed,” said Nicholas @carnes.bsky.social, a professor of public policy at Duke University. “It’s been between zero and 2 percent forever.”"

Even in uncertain times, there are routines that create a sense of normalcy: the start of a new school year, holiday decorations going up too early, Republicans from selective bouts of blindness regarding the words and actions of President Trump.

The "we should have more younger members of Congress" conversation isn't just about things like whether committee chair term limits choke off paths to power. It's also about things like this.

“We are going to release righteous hellfire on them until the cheating scheme ends,” Jeffries tells me of redistricting.

Not clear it will ultimately give Trump what he wants - what is clear is it’s creating maximum chaos.

“Running establishment candidates who are chosen or supported by the powers that be in D.C. — in Maine specifically — has been a total failure, certainly in attempts to unseat Susan Collins. It is time for us to try something new.”
