Trump’s claim that his $5k payoff isn’t a quid pro quo for voting Republican is undercut by the fact he’s not pushing to do it now, when Republicans already control Congress

When Trump stupidly attacked Iran, he didn't just send America's children to die. He didn't just wreck America's economy. And he didn't just get us into a war he promised not to. He trashed other countries he perceives are allies. Damn fool.

It's so sleazy for a governor to edit an opposing candidate's photos or ads secretly. Texans, don't let the sleazy fraudsters of Texas manipulate you and get away with it.

Saudi Arabia shut down a crucial pipeline that allowed oil exports to circumvent the Strait of Hormuz, saying it had been attacked multiple times. The kingdom said drones fired from Iraq damaged the East-West pipeline, which can carry up to 7 million barrels of oil a day. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

In undoubtedly related news, Noem disavowed this statement on Tuesday, which I love for Marc Caputo. www.axios.com/2026/01/27/t...
Why it matters: The episode illustrates the confusion that gripped the administration after the Saturday shooting death of Minnesota protester Alex Pretti. And it shows the influence of Miller, Trump's close and longest-serving political adviser whose dominion in the White House far exceeds his title.

Miller's power extends to de facto oversight of Noem, though she's a Cabinet secretary who technically outranks him.
"Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen," Noem told a person who relayed her remarks to Axios.
