It is almost like taking advice from a shit posting podcaster, whose whole goal is to make money and feel important, and who only recently discovered politics was a bad idea. Who knew?
Kristi Noem's $220 Million Tax Heist ... imagine what he could do with the gavel in hand. What a difference a midterm can make open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
This is Andrew Davis, who Trump nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas.
The judiciary committee already advanced his nomination to the Senate floor on a party-line vote.
Now he just awaits final confirmation by the full Senate, timing TBD.
Deep in conversation, Trump peered over the Resolute Desk at their feet, Vance recalled during an event later that day celebrating Kennedy Center honoree Sylvester Stallone. "Marco, JD, you guys have s—y shoes," Trump declared before retrieving a catalog. A third politician was in the room-Vance didn't name him—and Trump asked each person for their size. Rubio said 11.5, Vance 13. The third man said 7, according to Vance. "The president kind of leans back in his chair and says, 'You know you can tell a lot about a man by his shoe size, " Vance said.
Yet another fabulous entry in the Emperor has no clothes saga, and it is to be devoutly hoped that this is indeed included in the history books.
A photo of in this case, Marco Rubio, rather than Pete Hegseth wearing shoes that are clearly not the right size. Nonetheless, they were purchased by President Trump for him so he doesn’t dare exchange them.

Maybe it’s the shoes?
He is unwell!
Point well taken!
This is worth a read and ulcer inducing.
We don't have foreign policy as much as we have presidential whim.
This is one of those things where you knew this but somehow seeing it in black and white makes it all the more awful. God bless, Matt and all the immigration lawyers.
For that alone I would deem you a great American, no matter what *otters* say.
I just want to say that when we covered HOPPERS (about cooperating beavers) (leave it), I did propose a headline with the phrase "it takes a village of the dammed," and although it did not make it, I will always know I was that person.
This is not normal
I will call this a pause. I have no doubt the anti-vaccine agenda will resume with greatest intensity after November.

Dog is fine, just a case of age-related laryngeal paralysis, won't affect her quality of life. She just can't speak very well.
The roof is another story. Three inches of rain overnight and God knows how much hail didn't do it any good and now we need a new one. This one's 20 years old, so...
Joe Rogan Says Trump’s Supporters Feel ‘Betrayed’ by Iran War.. no kidding. time to put pressure on CONGRESS (oh yes them, to end this) www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...
You called it!
NEW: US at fault for school strike in Iran. It was outdated maps. This undercuts Trump’s claims that Iran bombed its own school. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/u...
Rick Scott who perpetrated the largest Medicaid fraud in US history & who as an insider millionaire is insulated from this, wants you to just suck it up!
Most presidents do their best to spare vulnerable Americans from harm; Trump seems thrilled each time he demonstrates his power over them. Americans appalled blatant sadism of an unwell president and defense secretary should register their disapproval at the polls.
Increasingly appreciating Douglas Adams definition of WOKING (verb): To enter the kitchen with the precise determination to perform something only to forget what it is just before you do it.
From a thread about great Douglas Adams quotes. I think about this one *a lot* these days.
Everyone - including the flunkies Trump is torturing by buying them the wrong size shoes - seems to be assuming they would anger him by secretly replacing them with ones that fit. But I think he'd admire the chutzpah.
(I'm so sick of psychoanalyzing this monster. But it feels necessary.)
there was an extraordinary conversation that followed on from Derek's original post—in his timeline... including that Trump orders from a Florsheim catalog & foists the same damn shoe—that he wears—on everyone else. but this post below tells you what it's really all about.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) is introducing new legislation today to take back federal money that’s been paid out to U.S. presidents through settlements resulting from White House coercion.
As in, Trump. www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...
I don't think this summary is quite right. Cramer wasn't confused about who won the Vietnam War. Clip is below.
Oh yeah. Some fun!
I wonder if Pete Hegseth had to provide evidence of work for the millions of dollars he spent on lobster tail…
Sheehy is a jerk who should never hold public office.
