So quick question for Kristi Noem: can we use this as an example that all ICE agents are violent and need to be removed from service?

Is she saying that we should be cracking down on anyone committing fraud and involved in corruption? Because I'm all for that. Someone should maybe ask about it.

Perhaps the stock market is up because people are excited for the Democrats to take over next November. How about that? Sounds good right? OK let's go with that for a while.

My feelings exactly. As a father I look at him and I think, the poor child never had a chance. He can only hope that his life right now is as bad as it'll ever get. But I don't have high hopes..

Data center buildout in 2026 will increase significantly to about $90B in economic activity, and while pretty robust, it's still only about 1-2% of GDP.
But all that DC spending during 2025 actually outpaced consumer spending, likely staving off a contraction. That's not good news esp viz a bubble.

Looking forward to seeing the video when someone asks Rubio and Cotton if they also like the one party Chinese communist system.

A dying archetype chosen for a dying medium makes total sense. Broadcast TV's share of total TV viewing has fallen significantly, and only 65+ still favor the scheduled 6 pm broadcast. I'm 59 and haven't watched "the news" in 15 years.

We get progressively dumber every time as GOP rep is allowed to speak on TV.

Hot take. The blatant attempt, if successful, at transparently controlling a statist narrative easily debunked and disproved will drive millions and millions away from these precious purchases and into the arms of Indie. Also, we may see a rapid drop in streaming and an increase in reading again.

I don't know Edward Whelan, but to conclude that the worst is that Bove exercised poor judgment is to show either your partisanship or how clueless you are. He knew of course what he was doing, he didn't care, and certainly welcomes anyone who wants to call him on it. Wake up.

Soon as I saw Jeffries on TV, the day of the pardon, saying that Henry was "one of the most beloved members of their caucus," etc. etc., I didn't believe him. I assumed HC was a crook. And I bet I represent a lot of Democrats who just don't trust Jefferies and the traditional leadership anymore.

The United States is quickly becoming the sovereign version of a cheesy strip mall. We should replace the Statue of Liberty with a big yellow tube man inflatable that you'd see in front of a used car lot.

Please please please someone ask these guys when they say it - provide proof of 50% immigration fraud and provide proof of widespread welfare fraud. It's a news program. An allegation is made, the next and only question must be, do you have proof of this concern you have.

Republicans are more willing because this continues to spin the American healthcare system away from the actual solution, which is Medicare For All. Democrats are "dug in" because you're suggesting things that don't actually fix the problem. A pig in lipstick is still a pig, and this bill stinks.

That worked out exactly the way they planned it. They needed someone in that position who was lunatic enough to actually kill people for him, lunatic enough to convince himself his vile murder spree was God's work and that it was...oh so very righteous... in a very real and legally binding sense.
