His language is jarring. His use of first-person (I need, I'm short) makes it sound like he’s a team lead in a mid-sized company. He's a Cabinet secretary, supposedly a voice of public stewardship, not a business manager. It's not about his department; it's a national safety concern.

The cartoonish video is less concerning to me than Noem's actual words: "Chicago, we're here for you." HOW IS THIS HAPPENING? The US government is overtly declaring war on a US citizens -- and yes, depicting how it's going to play out.

“Democrat” isn’t an adjective; it’s a MAGA shibboleth, a rhetorical jab meant to withhold the positive connotation of “democratic,” a term associated with democracy itself, to the party and its members.

I say this every time I see a post about "distractions." They're real actions with real motives and real consequences. We shouldn't diminish them as merely a diversionary tactic.

Incredible. I recently attended an orchestra performance at Lincoln Center free of charge, part of their Summer for the City program. Hundreds of shows for free and "choose what you pay."
