'Ridiculous': Kristi Noem's 28-year-old aide wasted millions on unusable ICE vehicles A former deputy to outgoing Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem saddled the department with millions of dollars in wasted funding for vehicles that cannot be used.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcem...

A Noem aide spent $3 million on pickup trucks emblazoned with the ICE name & logo, which ICE agents -- notoriously averse to advertising their presence -- will not drive, so they're just sitting in a lot, useless. The contract went to a Trump donor who owns a regional Chevy dealership.

I fell asleep once watching something else (Bojack Horseman?) and I woke up to the stern guy from Psych singing in medieval garb and was very confused.

Trump's assholery has killed a wonderful advanced X-ray astronomical mission that has been in development for almost a decade.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

I was campaigning to highlight achievements of Polish Women in Palaeontology. And bang, here's a children's book about this very topic. 🧡

Enough with the Norman Rockwell guy-standing-up-at-an-assembly meme. It’s a great painting, yes, but I don’t need to see it recontextualized every single time I scroll my feed.

Now would be a good time for anyone who wants to learn about recent Iranian history to read this. It is well worth your time and money (I am sure your local library has it if you don’t want to purchase it).

Episode IV is pretty much that and Flash Gordon and Dune and The Dambusters stuck in a blender. A delicious smoothie.
