I have to assume that Kristi Noem had $3,000 in cash because she had just sold children to a human trafficking ring, and it would have been $10,000 but she had just made a drop for some Fentanyl that she was on her way to pick up.

The Justice Department says Trump derives his authority to deport migrants without due process from “Article II and the mandate of the electorate,” so it has no obligation to provide further details of the operation to Boasberg.

Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

How tf did we end up with so many stupid people in this country? And now Trump and the GOP want to kill the department of education and defund education. They obviously like having a lot of stupid people in the voting pool.
Their latest batshit insane conspiracy theory is that libruhls are intentionally spreading bird flu to raise egg prices.
This timeline is so fucked.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.
