In 2002 White House chief of staff John Sununu improperly spent $1.4 million (inflation adjusted) of public money on personal travel. It was top of the news every night for a month & Sununu was forced to resign. If the reporting is accurate, that's half as much as Paxton spent.

You know what’s really bad for your health? Not having health insurance. Come January millions of people will lose Medicaid because of Trump’s signature policy while Rodgers is comparing us unfavorably to a country with universal healthcare.

Not something a civilised country does. The firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be live-streamed, the Defense Department said. “People need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things,” Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said.

Hegseth got the job not because of his clown antics on Fox News but because during the first term he made it his personal crusade to get Trump to pardon war criminals who had murdered civilians and desecrated corpses. That’s who he is and it’s what Trump hired him to be.

I don't believe that Americans won't work certain jobs, but the reality is that the domestic labor supply largely does NOT want to do backbreaking farm labor; and the wages required to fill the positions could be so high they'd bankrupt farms competing in a global market.

ICE appears to be using the parking lot of the Roxbury warehouse for processing and brief detention, and at least once appears to have taken people inside. But also, read this inside look from a federal contractor about how everyone knew the warehouse plan was insane but Miller demanded inhumanity.
NPR spoke to an official at a government contractor whose company was approached to convert several of the warehouses into ICE facilities. He spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation from the government.

"No one that we spoke to at DHS was for this idea whatsoever. The deputy director told us point-blank that they had pushed back very hard on it. Everybody knew warehouses are horrible places to put people," he says.

At a meeting with a deputy director at DHS, he says, his company proposed an alternative: FEMA-style camps in Texas that would be more humane.

He says that idea was swiftly shot down. While White House adviser Stephen Miller was not at the meeting, they were told that this was not what Miller wanted.

The contractor says his understanding from that meeting was that "Miller did not want the facilities that were comfortable. He did not want facilities that were humane. We were told point-blank that that was not what the administration wanted."

"Steve Miller certainly seemed to make that point to everyone that he wanted it to be cruel. This was what Miller had stated to the DHS at that time, to the DHS director and deputy director. What surprised me was just how adamant the people were that it was going to happen. Damn the consequences. I would say in 25 years of working with the U.S. government, I've never been in that position before."

Andrew Egger: “We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: It’s genuinely amazing how little Trump tries to hide his own mob-boss style.” The best part of the story is how Guilfoyle, conscious of the fact that what she's doing is a crime, obsesses over not leaving a "paper trail" for prosecutors.

This is exactly right. When Trump - in the one out of a thousand times - gets misread or misinterpreted, he *runs with it*, because it makes his critics look obsessive and stupid. Firehosing people until they freak about everything is the strategy, and it works.

In the presidential immunity case, the court considered a hypothetical of a president ordering Navy Seals to assassinate an American political rival. Trump's lawyer argued unambiguously yes, since it'd be an "official act." The Roberts Court ruled in his favor, 6-3. Why wouldn't Trump believe this?

The GOP & Fox are REALLY trying to sell the story that the Strait of Hormuz is open & therefore the high fuel prices MUST be a conspiracy. But there is a live tracker for the Strait that shows an average of 10-20 crossings a day. Before Trump's war it was 140 daily crossings. ... Facts matter.
