NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.
It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

Most of capitalism is pretty dumb shit, but the thing about the social power of money is that the ones who have it can compel the rest of us to do the dumb shit, which makes them more money.
I'm sorry, but Elon Musk's suggestion that someday we'll replace prisons with Tesla robots who are assigned to follow convicted criminals around and stop them from doing subsequent crimes is some pretty dumb shit, even by Elon's standards.

Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.

When Mamdani cites the Israeli genocide scholars who call this a genocide and the Israeli NGOs call this a genocide, the media and political figures who call him antisemitic never follow up. They can’t seriously engage with the fact of genocide. All that’s left is smears and islamophobia.

Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."
