Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

So Putin made the Trump envoy in Moscow wait 8 hours past the scheduled meeting time to meet with him, and this (below) is the length of the red carpet the Canadians put out for U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
This Administration is getting exactly the level of respect it deserves.

Trump, Musk, and DOGE would use the power of a shutdown to shift into overdrive.
And the courts, one of our best places to fight these autocrats, could quickly run out of money.
We can’t let this happen.

New York Democrats in the state legislature are expected to approve a bill on Monday that would delay until November the special election to fill Elise Stefanik’s House seat — a move that would deny House Republicans a crucial vote in the closely divided chamber.

I know it’s overwhelming to see Trump waging war on civil servants and replacing with loyalists, but remember we’ve seen this before. It was called the “Spoils System” when Presidents in the 1800s rewarded “their people” with jobs. Guess what happened…corruption exploded. THREAD
