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?

"The average American taxpayer spends $36 per year to support the SNAP program. The average American taxpayer spends $670 per year on corporate subsidies."

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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.

Scientists have been publishing climate models since ~1970.

A good way to evaluate their skill is to compare what they expected to happen in the years after the model was published to observed climate changes.

It turns out most models were pretty spot-on:
