SCOOP—In August, nearly 200 current/former FEMA staffers published the Katrina Declaration, a whistleblower letter detailing all the dangers posed by current leadership.
All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:

FEMA employee terminated for signing whistleblower letter
It appears to be a major violation of federal whistleblower protections and constitutional rights.

This morning I got the honour of paying very substantial tariffs on a couple cases of containers (which my company has been importing from the same manufacturer for years).
I may need a picture of Tiny Tim proclaiming before his untimely death, "I can feel the economy getting stronger every day!"

Congratulations, Kit!! 😃
I've been nominated for an Emmy Award!!!
Along with Trevor Birchett and Mikayla Morris, we were nominated for our work on our one-month-later special of the early April 2025 tornado outbreak across the Mid-South.
This event was career-defining for me, and I'm proud of the work we did that week.

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Swalwell: Kristi Noem and Tom Homan, you should familiarize yourselves with this room. Get to know that witness chair — you’re going to be parked in it for a long time. Accountability is coming.

Donald Trump sent more money to bail out Argentina than it would have cost to extend the ACA tax credits for just 1 year.
I don't plan to let anyone forget it.

It is breathtaking that the Trump Administration has fought so hard to keep food from hungry families.
However, here in Washington state, we've caught up on the SNAP benefits that were delayed due to the shutdown. We're now delivering full benefits.

LITERALLY HOURS. THEY COULD HAVE WAITED HOURS.
BREAKING
The 1st Circuit REJECTS Trump DOJ's request to pause a judge's order to pay up Nov's SNAP funds to the states.
The SCOTUS stay will expire within 48 hours absent further action from the justices, per its terms.

The Trump Administration has demanded that states halt any SNAP payments to beneficiaries. They have referred to these payments as "unauthorized." The USDA has threatened to end federal funding for any states who fail to comply.
