Trump looks and sounds absolutely depleted today. He's so weak.

He would hate if you shared these photos taken earlier with your followers.

I’m currently rereading George Orwell’s 1984. Highly recommend.

Noem’s luxury β€˜deportation’ jet is the tip of the ICE-berg Kristi Noem’s DHS has acquired at least nine new aircraft in recent weeks, with another one on the way. Half are luxury jets.

Noem’s taxpayer-paid luxury jet has a queen bed, showers, a kitchen, and four flat-screen TVs. Over the last four months, Noem’s DHS has acquired at least nine new airplanes, with another on the way. Of those, half appear to be luxury jets.

Some say that republicans should be grateful that women are seeking equality instead of revenge. But if I’m being honest, I’m kinda leaning toward revenge at this point.

Former ICE instructor testifies that agency slashed training for new officers A former instructor for Immigration and Customs Enforcement told congressional Democrats the agency has cut β€œvital classes” from mandatory training for recruits.

The agency eliminated 240 hours of β€œvital classes” from a mandatory 580-hour training program, including instruction about the legal boundaries for the use of force, how to safely handle firearms, and the proper way to detain and arrest immigrants. wapo.st/4aS06mU

The destruction of America continues apace. Literally every agency I’ve worked with in 35 years is rushing to hire less-qualified people who will just do what they are told. www.reuters.com/world/fbi-pl...

A Republican plan to overhaul voting is back. Here's what's new in the bill A Republican voting overhaul is back on Capitol Hill β€” with an added photo identification provision and an altered name. Opponents say the legislation would disenfranchise millions of voters.

The β€œevidence” cited in search warrant affidavit for Fulton County turns out to be unconfirmed reports of human error that have already been debunked, with no allegations of criminal intent, in a matter where the statute of limitations has long since expired. It’s slow-motion election interference.

Dear Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt:

You may not be aware of this, but it actually matters to the American public whether Donald Trump (1) has the intellect and temperament of a five-year old, (b) is a racist cretin, or (c) as seems most likely, both.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

If you’ve got a parent in a nursing home, read this twice. Executives funneled $4.8M to Trump’s super PAC, met him privately, and pushed to kill a rule meant to stop neglect. Your family’s safety was sold for access.(NYT)

This is complete bullshit, and it's a criminal administration's transparent effort to cover up a crime.

Today I emailed Representative Harriet Hageman of Wyoming to urge impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. We’ve seen two murders with our own eyes, and we’re fed up with her transparent lies.

Lucy has been deprived of her walk for the past three days. She makes use of her doggy door, but I notice she doesn’t stay outside long. Yesterday’s high was 9 degrees.

And this is how things get very bad, very fast. When the US goes to auction Treasuries and no one buys them. The squeeze will cause unimaginable strain to service our debt, we default, and the US collapses.
