The Young Republicans worship the same ideologies as the old Republicans. We should only be surprised that this leaked, not that it was happening in the first place.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that the Trump administration had violated his previous court order by implementing a nearly identical policy that again made state cooperation with federal immigration enforcement a condition for receiving grant funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

First photo is what Noem says in the video. Second photo is what DHS sent me in response to me asking if Noem was aware that many municipal airports have policies against political advertising.

They did not respond to my follow up email.

“Hi, I’m Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. It is TSA top priority to make sure that you have the most pleasant and efficient airport experience as possible while we keep you safe. However, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government and because of this many of our operations are impacted and most of our TSA employees are working without pay. We will continue to do all we can to avoid delays that will impact your travel and our hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the importance of opening the government.”

Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

"It is TSA's top priority to ensure that travelers have the most safe, pleasant and efficient airport experience possible. However, Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government, and because of this, most of our TSA employees are working without pay. While this creates challenges for our people, our security operations remain largely in impacted at this time. It’s unfortunate our workforce has been put in this position due to political gamesmanship. Our hope is that Democrats will soon recognize the importance of opening the government."

One rule would strip aid from families where a member is in the U.S. illegally.

Families could keep their assistance if the ineligible member moves out. But HUD expects many families to give up assistance out of “fear of the family being separated.”

Philadelphia stands by suicide ruling in Ellen Greenberg case following a review revealing three more stab wounds

The determination goes against the position of the pathologist who conducted the autopsy who now believes it “should be designated as something other than suicide."
