Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?
Noem: Sir, we have not deported U.S. Citizens or military veterans.
Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country in Panama in 1989. Earlier this year, you deported him to Korea. Can you please tell Mr. Park why you deported him?

At some point you just have to assume that he’s an actively evil person, right? This was a massacre of mostly women and children, largely unarmed, one of the most shameful events in a period of American history that was full of shameful events. You can’t defend it.

Again, in any other presidency, this statement would be a huge scandal. It’d be the top story in the US. The president’s own party would be disowning it. There would even be talk of impeachment.
But right now it’s just another totally normal authoritarian claim.

People who would rather see the 7th best SEC team in a playoff rather than the Sun Belt Champion (or any G5 champ) are not college football fans.

We cut kid's cancer research because it was considered "wasteful."
But $560,000 on truck wraps and a hype video about how the government is throwing kids in cages is apparently considered necessary spending.
Trump’s administration spent $560,000 on new trucks and wraps for an ICE hype video

To fully grasp how big a trillion actually is.
A million seconds is 11 days
A billion seconds is 31 years
A trillion seconds is 31709 years
There’s something deeply evil about the idea of a trillionaire actually existing

'Vacations.'
The word is 'vacations.'
ALT FAST COMPANY Article: While retirement typically occurs, after completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals called "micro-retirement." Micro- retirements involve taking a one to two- week break from work every 12 to 18 months. Gen Z is using micro-retirement to avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment in their work, and enhance their overall well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:

Yes congressman, no one liked the option to file their taxes for free, they yearned to pay $200 to TurboTax. Truly a man of the people!
Nobody asked for the IRS to be Americans’s tax preparer, filer, and auditor.
The House-passed One, Big, Beautiful Bill puts an end to the IRS Direct File Program.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
A poll reveals 82% of likely voters across all political affiliations like it.
"Direct File is incredibly popular among taxpayers. Last year, 90% of surveyed users rated their experience as excellent or above average...."

You could sell all 640M acres of federal land and it would raise less than half what the federal government spends each and every year.
Don’t let Mike Lee sell off your American birthright for six months of government spending.
“We have so much land.
We want to put it to use.
We’re going to have land release, and on that land we’re going to build housing.” -@POTUS
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This video is from August 2024. President Trump spoke about development of land in southern Nevada, and his comments were not regarding Senator Lee's current proposal.

All Boomer solutions to debt always return to some variation of "Let's sell our children's future for a more comfortable present."
It's our job to say "No" to that proposition, again and again and again.

What if we made a special road just for Ubers, and those Ubers seated 1,000 people so each person paid less for a ticket, and we ran those Ubers at predictable times of the day so one could depend on there always being a ride available
TIL booking a 200 mile Uber is cheaper than a same day flight.
@travisk your vision has finally been achieved

This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.

I’m seeing that this is irreversible. That the only way the country will get lands like this back is if the corps/countries/individuals who buy it, donate it back. Which will not happen.
This is the largest public lands sell off in modern US history.
