CBS reporter Scott Pelley:

This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”.

If you haven’t already shared this, please do.

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

Trump is ok with empty shelves.
REPORTER: But we're seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers are truck drivers are worried about their jobs

TRUMP: That means we lose less money ... when you say it slowed down, that's a good thing, not a bad thing

The new American dream: 3 dolls, 5 pencils.

How many golf courses can one own?
Trump: "I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have three dolls or four dolls ... they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have five."

That baffled health officials since this program is paid for by cruise ship fees, not taxpayer dollars

This administration is ridiculously petty, and stupid.

“As a matter of policy, we do not respond to reporters with pronouns in their bios,” Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, wrote to a New York Times reporter.
