Kristi Noem's right-hand man at DHS given the boot by admin officials: insider A right-hand man to former Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem has reportedly been removed from his position at the agency. Noem, who has been reshuffled in Donald Trump's cabinet to a ne...

Joe Mazzara, Kristi and Corey's right hand man at DHS is now out. Apparently he was very unpopular with all the actual professionals who worked there, (considered Corey's "hatchet man") so Rodney Scott, the guy currently in charge ousted him before Mullin takes over.

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

I said it earlier and I am going to day it again for the last time. DO NOT GO INTO THAT STRAIT. You will die. Our president is a clown and the Secretary is out of his depth.

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

This is the third government shutdown since Trump took office.

TSA agents are unpaid, some sleeping in their cars, while his war is torching about $1 billion a day.
ICE detention is still draining around $10 million a day to run centers where people are disappearing into a broken system.

Trump’s military excursion, into an abyss The evident fact is that the president is nuts.

"It’s almost as if Trump felt that, as a would-be dictator, he had to have his own nihilistic war, just like his idol Vlad Putin. But Trump’s 'excursion' against Iran is nothing like Putin’s years long 'special military operation' against Ukraine β€” it’s actually more stupid." β€” @davidrlurie.com

I bet after this Trump won’t be participating in such events:

The boos were so loud that he couldn’t hear himself speak.😎

β€œSlow Pay, Low Pay or No Pay”: Trial Reveals How Insurers Try to Wield Power Over Doctors Blue Cross authorized mastectomies and breast reconstructions for women with cancer but refused to pay the full doctors’ bills. A jury called it fraud and awarded the practice $421 million.

The breast cancer center appealed thousands of Blue Cross reimbursements for being too low.

At trial, the insurer revealed that it had never considered any of the appeals β€” and that they were pointless:

β€œAn appeal is not available to review an underpayment.”

The Fate of the First Amendment The Defense Department announced is barring press photographers from the briefings it holds on the war in Iran.

When the President decides photojournalists can’t take pictures at Sec’y Hegseth’s Iran briefings, it’s not a small thing. We’re connecting the dots to the larger efforts to erode our 1st Amendment rights, just when we need them the most. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Trump’s job is to do as much damage to the US as possible in the shortest possible time.

Part of that is the alienation of allies and destruction of trading relationships - we probably shouldn’t take it personally because his not-so-secret mission from Putin is to completely fuck the US.
