Dems are doing an exceptional job in Noem oversight hearing, using a lot of clips. @delia.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy included a video FROM THIS HEARING of Noem lying. But this picture is pretty funny. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreigy2xdirpvxx6sdnj7dtrqpidwigneb3jga4pqbkxgvnft6u5nm3a
Lou Correa notes that Kristi Noem is not focusing on criminals. The example he raises (smartly) is an Irish green card holder and mother of a Marine. She's been in detention since July.
LOLOL. @dfriedman.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy found that the Goodreads page tied to an email of a key Whiskey Pete advisor: it sandwiched Whiskey Pete's book between books about wife swapping! www.motherjones.com/politics/202... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreiectsetpaahydql2ja43ez6ehynmdegaznuuugu4us3nmteesr4hi
One thing that @thefarce.org@bsky.brid.gy and I found when working on a video on tariffs is this superb podcast, which is totally lowkey, mostly two host reading off futures, in between debunking the bullshit the Administration tries to feed farmers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9cT...

WSJ has an interesting visual on Trump's pardons, and I'm glad for the increased focus. One thing that's missing, IMO, is a focus on who is harmed by these pardons. www.wsj.com/politics/pol... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreigf2zcb7txmx6yfrpzwb7vhr6lzup4puci4toju5i4naghul3bjiq

@warren.senate.gov publishes a report listing all the $$ that Congress gave to DOD to do DOD things that DOD instead spent on Stephen Miller's snatch and grab.

The current Russian regime--& much of E European instability--arises out of the gangster state that filled the vacuum left when the wall fell (and, let's be honest, the West didn't do enough). Trump is effectively BEGGING for that state in the W Hemisphere, even while much migrations stems from it
