REPORTER: Why choose to do this press conference this way? Your agency is about to run out of funding. You were just in Arizona last week. And you bussed all of us to a secure facility. This doesn't seem top secret.

Q: Can you confirm that CBP actually hit a party balloon it thought was a drone with a laser? And why wasn't that coordinated with the FAA?

Unconfirmed political hack Corey Lewandowski gets to make policy decisions at a massive federal agency as well as hiring and firing key personnel because he’s having an affair with Kristi Noem. Allegedly, since they continue to deny it even though everyone knows it.

I think the thing that enrages me the most about Musk is that he presents himself as some sci-fi nerd hero doing everything possible to save humanity by going to new planets.

Whoa! Didn’t expect to wake up to this news.

“A year into Trump’s term, voters say Biden was better.”

Trump’s net approval on the economy is now -18. That’s 26 points worse than this point in his first term and a brutal 53 points lower among independents.
