Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

Kill em all, let God sort em out
WELKER: Is there any hard evidence showing this particular boat was headed to the US?

TOM COTTON: That didn't come up in my briefing

WELKER: Are you comfortable having the US target a boat that you're not sure is heading to the US?

COTTON: I'm not just comfortable with it -- I want to continue it

DOD is more than capable of doing this. Going lethal straight out of the box is a choice.

The very first lesson I learned in 2/75 while still an E1 was "Double tap and stab." Shoot them, stick them as you move up, but the second you advance past them, they are protected and your responsibility.
Fox News' Joey Jones justifies the US military killing survivors after an initial boat strike: "An enemy combatant does not have to have a gun to be a danger or a threat... if you leave anybody alive, they can signal and let others know what’s happening and they can also retaliate through radio."

These are the best lies because even those deep in the cult know what milk costs.
Trump lies shamelessly: "Every price is down."

The one good thing about 47's administration is that - like 45's administration - he will eventually throw every supporting politician under the bus, and, looking like the fools they are, they will disappear from the body politic forever
President Trump on Wednesday blamed his party’s bruising election night losses on the government shut down and urged Republicans to end the funding gridlock by any means necessary.
After GOP losses, Trump urges Republicans to end shutdown, filibuster
Trump told a group of GOP leaders gathered at the White House on Wednesday that if Republicans end the Senate filibuster, “it’ll be impossible to beat us.”

Exclusive: The Trump administration has used misleading footage to promote its immigration agenda in at least six videos in the last three months.

Some videos that purported to show chaos in Trump-targeted cities had footage from completely different states.
Trump administration uses misleading videos to portray chaos, push deportations
Official videos purporting to show the triumph of recent immigration operations used footage that was months old or recorded thousands of miles away, a Washington Post analysis found.

WTF does "remove the criminals the law does not permit him to remove" mean?
The use of "surge" here is so fucking grotesque. Trump is using Iraq War language against the citizens of his own country.

$230M isn’t the issue. The problem is he’ll claim DOJ’s settlement clears him. The docs case wasn’t resolved—he just ran out the clock. He took TS/SCI material, kept it in a bathtub. Senate Intel under Rubio confirmed Russia interfered. It wasn’t a hoax.

Again, the only redeeming feature of 47's administration is that every cabinet official will destroy themselves and disappear from the body politic. Just like 45

It's official:

-2025 is now a more threatening year for the survival of the republic than 1968.

-John Roberts will now go down in history as a worse chief justice than Roger "Dred Scott" Taney.

Untethered to the facts ...
It was a blunt 31-page opinion issued by a judge Trump appointed to the bench in his first term in office declaring that Trump’s effort to federalize Oregon National Guard troops likely “exceeded his statutory authority” and likely violated the Tenth Amendment.

Law Dork on Saturday’s TRO:
Federal judge blocks Trump's National Guard mobilization in Oregon
"The President’s determination" that the Guard was needed "was simply untethered to the facts," Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee, found. DOJ is appealing.
