I was hoping to see Noem get a note from an aide and then pretend to be overjoyed she'd landed her dream job running the Shield of the Americas.

I'd have liked Rep. Kamlager-Dove to also ask if they fucked in the plane. Still, she elicited a classic non-denial denial from Secretary Noem.
"I've been on it once," Noem told Whitehouse about the 737 luxury jet with a private cabin reportedly used by her and Lewandowski -some call it the "fuck plane"- that DHS is buying for $70 million. Really? Only once? Seems to warrant checking.
Questioned by Durbin, Noem wouldn't retract her false claims that Alex Pretti and Renée Good were domestic terrorists, but didn't repeat the claim and claimed she got that information from "agents on the ground," ie blaming them for the lies.
Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee Noem repeats the lie that 450,000 children went missing or were lost under Biden. It's been widely pointed out that's false. She's just citing the number of unaccompanied kids who crossed the border from FY '19-'23. But she's saying it under oath.

Calling for Iranians to overthrow their rulers while we drop bombs on them is not a plan to get a nicer Iranian regime. It's just a cynical use of neoconservative bullshit that's likely to lead to more repression or anarchy, and a terrible, worse situation for Iranians Trump's claiming to help.
This article is worth reading to get to the hilarious joint statement the FAA, CBP and the Pentagon issued. apnews.com/article/mili... I touched it up.
The administration in fact ordered parks to post QR codes to let visitors report signs they found too woke. But the main mechanism is that Interior ordered park superintendents to self-report any signs that might run afoul of Trump's executive order. Then DOI sent orders to remove lots of those.
Interior has told Fort Laramie National Historic Site in Wyo., to replace a sign about a funeral the Army held for the daughter of a Lakota chief because the sign quotes an Army Colonel's 1865 letter describing the Lakota as "swindled, ill-treated and abused." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Interior has also ordered Glacier to replace a sign titled "Blame it on the Grain," which explains that a reservoir partly in the park was created to support agriculture, because: "’Blame’ has negative tone to it." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Some striking federal sign censuring: NPS' deputy director personally removed a sign in NW DC about senator's racism, apparently on White House orders.
The Interior Dept told Glacier Nat'l Park to alter a movie shown to visitors due to “scientific inaccuraries." www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
You've likely heard about NPS removing signs about slavery and climate change, but it's also censuring hundreds more placards around the country, often due to seemingly noncontroversial language, to comply with Trump's wish to have only "uplifting" signage.

WATCH: Gregory Bovino asks journalist Amanda Moore to bake him a pie.
“Perhaps you could make the pie for us,” Bovino tweeted at Moore.
Then it got even weirder.
It's very funny to me that Trump went through all of the trouble of launching a scam cryptocoin or invading a foreign country to take their oil revenue personally hostage when he could simply sell bathwater to Republican members of Congress on OnlyFans.
Our dials are clear: Americans don't want Trump focused on foreign wars, they just want lower costs at home.
Trump left that poor wounded solider standing there while he banged on about renaming a military base after mediocre Confederate general.
Trump jokes about people being scared to fish in the Caribbean. Hahaha, our extrajudicial killing of fisherman is fucking up people's lives. apnews.com/article/trum...
Trump now faulting Iran for killing protesters.
Was it the National Guard kids standing around in Metro stations or the snow, ice and freezing temperatures that reduced DC crime in January?
Trump says he is calling on full funding on DHS, because right now we have no money to clean up the snow.
Trump is on an extended riff based on the premise that the Homeland Security Department is responsible for shoveling snow.
I’m getting a little sick of saying this, but I think it’s worth repeating, that this speech sounds no different than your average white nationalist website.
If Trump is serious about a war on fraud, he should start by looking in the mirror.
Corruption is plundering America. The call is coming from inside the White House. -TN
Trump purports to fault other countries for "corruption." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/01/u...
Trump said that he "settled" wars through the threat of tariffs, a sentence that combined a few of his fantasies and shows the fully fake world he insists everyone else to pretend is real.
It's confusing that Trump said fentanyl trafficking is down 56 percent. Why not just say there it's also down to zero, like illegal immigration? Or 1600 percent, like drug prices?

Bill Pulte is so sketchy.
Happy to have contributed a quote to this excellent article. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
