so... what exactly does Kevin Kiley believe this is going to *do* for him, exactly...?
Neguse: It's still unclear as to the ultimate reasons that Trump made that decision. It may be that the corruption that Noem was engaged in embarrassed him. It may be that he was envious of it.
This meme sums it all perfectly.
Joshua Jones sums up what I've been thinking about Mullin and his absurd comments about "the smell of war" and other such nonsense.
He has never served in any war zone. He has never been on the receiving end of enemy fire or missile attacks. He has never sacrificed anything for anyone.
1979 Iran & 47 years that followed under oppressive violent Islamic control is the encroaching totalitarian rule rising in America today
#47 has a prophetic connotation & we see a trial run already in place propagandizing with smiles & free offerings, unmet
Hold your rare & precious democracy near
Graph of award probability of R35 and R01 from NIH factbook as a function of review rank percentile. As is apparent, 2025 is a significant departure, with lower award probabilities at all scores <40 and significant departures from norm, where even being in the top 10% is no longer a nearly certain indicator of success. Data source: https://report.nih.gov/nihdatabook/report/302
The data is in: the NIH goalposts have shifted.
What were once almost certain fundable scores have become coin flips and what used to be likely grants have become aspirational, leading to fewer awards.
Another manifestation of how HHS policies have led to fewer awards and less science.
I think the secretary of defense should not be a psychopath
The base wanted Harris.
Black people are the base, not self-proclaimed progressives who gladly refused to vote for the Democratic candidate knowing there were only 2 possible outcomes & risking a 2nd Trump term over a war in another hemisphere even after Gazans said they wanted Harris.
🤦🏾♀️
They’re the same people that spent every day whining about student loan forgiveness when Biden was POTUS, then after saving them $185B, said “Fuck Joe Biden,” acted like he hired the Mafia to kneecap everyone with outstanding student loans & boasted about how they’d never vote for him.
Every time I read an article or see a headline about America's current economic woes it pisses me off. I get pissed because it is all self inflicted. The people who chose to vote white instead of right, helped usher in the economic shit show being pushed by Toupee Fiasco.
Not "terrorists," not "radicals," not even "Islamists." "Iranians." In case anyone was confused about who the enemy is
This guy speaks like a psychopath

"Right after they say the economy is awesome, the next jobs report is pretty devastating... [and] he can't even blame some 'woke BLS administrator' because he got rid of that person."
@neeratanden.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social discuss Trump's jobs problem.
Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin will replace Kristi Noem as DHS secretary at the end of the month.
Mullin has vigorously supported the SAVE America Act, spread misinformation about the 2020 election results and defended the ICE agent who fatally shot a Minneapolis woman in January.
Specifically what enforcement agency do the democrats have at their disposal to enforce anything?
BE FUCKING SPECIFIC
Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.
Image of trumps new ballroom. With the words “I can’t afford gas above it.”
There have been some very bad developments today.
Noem’s disastrous testimony at House and Senate oversight hearings this week, at which both Republicans and Democrats pummeled her like red and blue Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots toys, was what ultimately cost Noem her job. Good riddance.
Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
Meanwhile in Russia…
“Former Izhevsk City Duma deputy Andrei Yedigarev has been arrested on charges of organizing a terrorist organization and violently seizing power, law enforcement officials told RIA Novosti.”
