'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.

It's stiff competition, but Nellie Bowles may actually be the most evil, vapid person to work at her wife's stupid website:

Long custom sort of numbs folks to how bizarre the arrangement is. I can’t think of any other discipline where students in their early 20s are the arbiters of what merits publication in the most prestigious scholarly journals.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Exclusive: Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war.

Here is your brave head of Homeland Security protecting the Capitol on J6, hiding behind the seats, while the men guard the door. While Mullin ran for his life, he went on to call that day "one of peaceful protest". He will make a fine head of Homeland Security for Private Bone Spurs.

Democrats should put hold on vote for new DHS secy until ICE demands are met.

Exclusive: Iranian girls killed by ‘double-tap’ strikes on Minab school Eyewitnesses describe second blast which killed survivors as they sheltered in prayer hall

The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.

Grok being wrong: The Onion does have (hilarious) print editions, but this specific "Sam Altman" piece isn't from them—or any real outlet. It's a custom meme image made to look like one, floating around since at least February. Spot on for the satire though!

It will never cease to amaze me that these guys agree to a Chotiner interview and think they’ll come out of it looking great. Truly stunning.

So the State Department is forcing everyone to immediately leave the region but is also refusing to help people leave the region.

The strike itself is illegal and disastrous but their lack of readiness for what comes next is unforgivable as well.

Incompetence everywhere.

They made you use “backseat” when it wasn’t being used as an adjective?!?! Like, “He sat in the backseat.”? That’s, ugh.

Very high.

NEWS: In 2019, the Trump DOJ took over New Mexico’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch — telling the state to stand down and turn over its findings. According to officials and newly unsealed records, the probe soon fizzled after the federal takeover. Link to NYT reporting in reply.

We are the dumbest country my God

Trying to get humans not to touch dangerous things was a full-time job.

This is amazing.

No, this is new! But it may be *revenge* for El Paso. 🤔

I urge Reform to campaign on "regulating the sexual economy", a very normal sequence of words they definitely shouldn't run past anyone without a Twitter account before putting it on the side of a bus.

You could sell the heck out of that tape on YouTube — I’d watch it! Talk about meditative.

When we sit in meetings for decades at a time tiptoeing around incompetence and smiling through mediocrity. How hard they work to cover up the opposite of what they are saying.

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.

This should be news.

You’d think that even if for some reason you were trying to dismantle the federal government, you’d leave the parts that protect us against bioterrorism, cyber attacks, etc. intact, even if only because of the political consequences of an attack we’re unprepared for.

But no.

And this is the Pentagon’s way of telling reporters, “We have no idea what the commander in chief is talking about.”

The hidden ICE blueprint that should horrify every American | Will Bunch An internal Department of Homeland Security document shows how ICE plans to cram thousands of detained human beings inside a Georgia warehouse.

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses?

Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards
