How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

A fun thing to do is look at Amazon’s price history tool.
Prices remain steady on most things over the last 30 days. Toggle it to 90 and almost everything spiked 30%

"When Lewandowski was told Noem's personal items had been left behind, including a heated blanket, he yelled at Coast Guard staff
The pilot came out of cockpit to see what was happening & Lewandowski insisted plane return to collect Noem's items
When he refused, Lewandowski announced he was fired"

Noem's use of Coast Guard resources strains her relationship with the military branch, sources say
Some early decisions by the homeland security secretary, including to divert Coast Guard resources from a search and rescue mission to the deportation of immigrants, set the tone early.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book.
In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience.
I love it so much. Especially as my eyesight gets worse.

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036.
She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid
She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

I often watch film performances and think about what the text looked like on the page and how the actor saw those words and came up with their choices…
… and the one I think about a lot is how Robert Duvall decided to put across “it’s a big, fat, big-titted hit” in NETWORK.
Singular perfection.

The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.
After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Some have said we have tried to run two women candidates against Trump, and the fact that both failed to win means the US isn't ready for a female president.
I suggest that we are closer than ever to electing a woman for the highest political office.
This is a thread.

Rep. Angie Craig: "The attacks on Black and brown people in Minnesota have been egregious. At the end of the day, what they wanted out of Minnesota was for us to riot. I think this will go down in American history as one of the greatest examples of peaceful resistance from an entire community."
