Noem out, Trump picks Mullin as DHS secretary The South Dakota Republican was the public face of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown

Good riddance!

We still have to impeach her, Melt ICE, and dismantle DHS.

The visuals in this game are like nothing else out there. Bungie cooked so hard. They're calling it the most Bungie game of all time

US military says three of its troops killed in first Iran operation casualties Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.

Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.

The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

Now, the issue is being used as a political wedge in this spring’s Democ…

This is basically straight up lying to the voters by Jaime Andrade’s campaign, which is smearing his opponent by false accusing them of supporting ICE. Good campaign truth squadding by @olivia0.bsky.social

Tbh I’m annoyed that so much of the sexism targeted towards my candidacy is about painting me as an influencer rather than a journalist.

It COMPLETELY erases my bartending career.

“So when we release the autopsy result, specifically the one where the shot to the head was to the side and it exited her right side, let the people make their own decision where Jonathan Ross was when he pulled the trigger,” Romanucci said.

Albany Park, I love you so much

Many of Jaime Andrade’s newest signs have now been amended to make clear who purchased them (Draft Kings, under a newly formed PAC attempting to obscure themselves as the purchaser)

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,
