Updated this piece about abuses in grants/contracts: Noem gave $900 million in no-bid contracts to the company of a donor, Salus, which in turn was telling other contractors they had to pay her boyfriend tens of millions if they wanted to get govt contracts. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/governing-...
A 10K contribution and a $900 million return. The scale of the graft in Homeland Security is a) off the charts and b) possible because no-one believes they will face any accountability

🔵 Trump just launched America.gov, the government’s new AI assistant. It immediately confirmed: Biden won in 2020. Trump’s name appears in the Epstein files. Then it stopped answering political questions. That didn’t take long.

Last year, the Trump Administration terminated or froze nearly 4,000 research grants, totalling some $3 billion—only restoring about half after being sued by several institutions. A new proposal is poised to even further politicize research efforts. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/SrkuX-

Calling Trump "unhinged" isn't wrong exactly, but @chrislehmann.bsky.social argues that it can obscure the political logic behind his outbursts. On "Meet the Press," Trump got people to stop talking about his election lies. https://bit.ly/4uquWe5

Utah and the LDS have leaned Republican forever. Latest news: Hegseth removed the Mormons/LDS from the military religion list. Kevin O'Leary pushes his monstrous data center on Utah, claiming their protesters, who are mostly LDS, are paid by China. When the leopards eat your face, I guess. 🤷🏻♀️

"Blanche’s confirmation can can be turned into a referendum on the coverup by the Trump administration, and by the entire political class, of Epstein and his co-conspirators and clients. The vote on Blanche can become, it should become, a vote on Epstein." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Donald Trump, three months ago: “I don’t get bored.”
EAMON JAVERS Do you think the negotiations are over now? PRESIDENT TRUMP I don’t care if they’re over, honestly. I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less. If they’re over, they’re over. If they’re not, you know, I think they took too much time. Frankly, I thought they started to get very boring.
