The level of graft and corruption we have in Washington right now is egregious, and Kristi Noem deserves prison for many things, and there is no way she (or really anyone) needs or deserves such a plane, especially one we paid for. Also, really, bidets are amazing and every plane should have them.

Absolutely enraging headline.

There's another world leader who has a lot more power and actually stumbles quite a bit more than AOC. Really curious why the Times doesn't frame his comments as having "some stumbles" as well!

One thing I've learned in the last couple of decades is that there can be instances of stupidity so intense that they cause me literal physical pain. I'm not even sure what the physiological mechanism, but it's real.

New at The Watch:

The Democrats' demands to "reform" Trump's immigration thugs aren't reforms at all. They're already the law, the Constitution, and widely accepted police practices. And in a free society, they'd never be negotiable.
The Constitution is not a bargaining chip for a budget negotiation
The Democrats demanded that Trump's immigration cops follow the law and the Constitution. The Republicans called those demands "nonstarters."

Oh, okay. I'll bite.

The right to vote is enshrined in the Constitution.

The "right" of armed federal cops to arrest, beat, and kill people with anonymity is not.

There is no constitutional right of law enforcement to detain me, throw me to the ground, and then put five bullets in my back while masked and unidentified.

There is a right to vote.

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?

Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

People need to understand what happened strategically in 2025. The US switched sides, helped Putin a great deal, which also encouraged the Chinese to help Putin. And Ukraine fought on, inflicting massive casualties on Russia and taking the war to the Russian economy.

So in this little exchange it's alleged that Trump was engaged in exactly the behavior Republicans spent years feigning vapors about with Clinton and it's not even pursued as far as I've seen. Bannon is alive, anyone ask him?
