Kristi Noem’s “tough decisions” résumé really hits different:

🪶 Banned from 7 out of 9 South Dakota tribal reservations after accusing leaders of working with cartels (they called that “lies”).

The administration claim they want transparency but I guess it doesn’t apply to them.

You know this shutdown is part of a distraction. Mike Johnson won’t bring the House back because then he’d have to swear in Adelita Grijalva. She would be the 218th signature needed to get the files released.

4️⃣ Invested in tech/data firms while railing against Big Tech. Silicon Valley, but make it self-righteous.
5️⃣ Called an AI video mocking a Black lawmaker “just a joke.” Sure, Jan.
Consistency? Still under construction. 🚧

2️⃣ Trashed the infrastructure bill… then bragged about the $200M it brought to Ohio. That bridge to hypocrisy must be federally funded.
3️⃣ Fact-checked into oblivion — multiple “False” and “Mostly False” ratings for his claims.

It’s not strategy. It’s chaos as a business model, and Bannon is its self-appointed CEO. 🦊💰 #Bannon #GriftMachine #PoliticsAsPerformance

Steve Bannon has perfected the art of turning outrage into income. Every scandal is a fundraiser, every “patriot” pitch another grift. He talks about saving America while cashing in on division—and his followers keep footing the bill.

Critics say he represents the worst of techno-libertarian elitism: anti-democratic, ultra-capitalist, and alarmingly influential.

From helping build a surveillance empire with Palantir to backing far-right political candidates, Thiel has leveraged his billions to quietly (and not-so-quietly) reshape tech and politics to fit his vision.

‼️And now he’s second in line to the presidency.
The GOP didn’t elect a unifier. They elevated a theocrat with a voting record that undermines democracy, human rights, and basic privacy.

🚨 Reminder: Mike Johnson isn’t just Speaker of the House — he’s the architect of some of the most extreme, out-of-touch policies in Congress.
