The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

This is the best write up I’ve seen about the whole Ring Super Bowl commercial/backlash/Flock divorce, with the added context of a thorough interview with Simonoff. I appreciate how Nilay Patel presses Simonoff on a lot of his claims about Ring.

They’ve been locked up for 130+ days.
I spent hours with them on Zoom this week, and their story deserves to be heard.

We could literally have, like, healthcare instead of this. And roads and education and strong infrastructure. And commerce, actual jobs doing stuff and making things because people would be able to afford to buy them. And maybe putting cute little hearts on lattes for happy tourists who feel safe.
Breaking news: ICE expects to spend $38.3 billion on its plan to acquire warehouses across the U.S. and retrofit them into immigrant detention centers that can hold tens of thousands of people, according to agency documents.

Two ICE-Gestapo killers have been placed on leave after lying under oath about a violent encounter they supposedly faced during their seige in Minneapolis. They face termination and criminal charges.
Good, they aren’t agents, they are terrorists. They should all be sent to jail.

It's interesting! I found that despite their various origins, Karen, Wine Mom, and AWFUL (newly coined by MAGA) are all being used to describe any outspoken woman.
They started out being used pegorarively for middle aged white woman, but it seems like age and even race are becoming irrelevant.
