Director Of Homeland Security

Markwayne flashback.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) said he does not wear a seatbelt while driving in Washington, D.C., lest doing so prevent him from acting quickly in case he’s carjacked.

Why are these tough guys always so scared, and what does he imagine "acting quickly" would involve (brave Sir Mullin, I expect).

Does She Get Her Old Face Back

The replacements are almost always worse, but at least we can laugh for 5 minutes.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, already frustrated with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, was incensed by her performance this week during congressional hearings and is considering firing her, lawmakers and people familiar with the discussions tell NBC News.

Never blame The Boss.

 

Sen. John Kennedy tells us President Trump called him after DHS Sec Noem testified that the President signed off on her $200 million ad campaign in her contentious hearing. “Put it this way, his recollection and her recollection are different.”

A Perfect Job For Kid Rock

I actually appreciate the directness. "We" usually obscure this stuff.

President Trump told Axios in an interview Thursday that he needs to be personally involved in selecting Iran's next leader — just as he was in Venezuela.

Sure Why Not

I think #5 makes him more pro-trans rights than Gavin Newsom.

Not Just Being Snarky

You cannot get the Dems to actually oppose a war in a way that matters. And they truly believe that "the war is bad, but we gotta support droney I mean the troops" is very clever stuff.

The Schumer Special

Give Dem senators a vote to oppose the war then have a bunch of them support paying for the war they pretend not to support.

Not sure who is impressed by "I voted against it before I voted for it."

Spartanburg County in South Carolina is ground zero for the largest measles outbreak since 2000. One school has a vaccination rate of 21 percent.

Anyone who doesn’t support abolishing ICE is bringing the party down

Afternoon

Busy with life stuff (actually, driving, which you know how much I love).

Forever War

I am not going to pretend to know anything about this stuff, but shooting down $20K drines with $5 million missiles probably can't keep going for ever.

Today Is The Day Donald Trump Became President

This disaster is, in part, because every time Donald Trump has blown something up, hebhas turned on the TV and received little but praise.

Surrender

It is important to understand that all of the big institutions that caved to Trump's absurd demands instantly did so because they were happy to.

And because they did, things got as bad as they have (in part).

Use Your Power

Good to see.

The New York attorney general’s office has ordered a major Manhattan hospital to resume providing puberty-blocking medication and hormone treatments to transgender adolescents, just two weeks after the hospital had stopped doing so.

The hospital, NYU Langone Health, had closed its Transgender Youth Health Program after the federal government threatened to pull federal funding from hospitals that provided gender-transition treatments for adolescents. For more than a year, the Trump administration has sought to prevent hospitals from helping adolescents transition, asserting that many of the children are impressionable and confused and that the medical treatments maim and sterilize them. In response, many clinics and hospitals in the United States have scaled back or stopped providing gender-related treatments to children.
