When asked at a Senate hearing Tuesday by Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) to define habeas corpus — the right of due process to challenge a person’s detention by the government — Noem described the term as “a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country.”
Let’s all agree to give her a participation trophy, shall we?
I’m sure she has a shelf full of them at home.
Well, and that mounted dog head.

Too soon?
sick burn…
Wow, she must really like being on TV
She drove me crazy with her responses. I can no longer listen to her press briefings.
“So, I get a phone call and it’s about Social Security. And I’m really, I’m really not, I swear I’m not looking for a job,” Bisignano said, according to an audio recording of the meeting obtained by ABC News. “And I’m like, ‘Well, what am I going to do?’ So, I’m Googling Social Security. You know, one of my great skills, I’m one of the great Googlers on the East Coast.”
“I’m like, ‘What the heck’s the commissioner of Social Security?’” said Bisignano, who now oversees one of the largest federal agencies that’s responsible for distributing retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to more than 70 million Americans.
The quote is too short. Did it lead to “So I’ll be relying on your help” or “So I’ll just do whatever I’m told by the administration”?
I give Hegseth 1 month tops before he gets shown the door by Trump.
I don’t know. Given everything else going on, I’d think illegal wiretaps would be considered something they’d be all for. Why get rid of him for something they’d want?
But it sounds like the illegal wiretaps didn’t happen, and rather team Hegseth told the WH that they had done illegal wiretaps even when they hadn’t. Were they trying to make themselves look cooler? It is so bizarre.
Hegseths personal lawyer lied to concoct a reason to get his aides fired.
He tried to pull a fast one basically. A really stupid one because that crazy reason would eventually get out.
And now the blowback has arrived and its going to make Trump look bad. Again.
I don’t see Hegseth lasting after this one because its not the media driving this. Its actually Hesgeths own lawyer and his incompetence driving this one.
Great guy, it’s a shame he stepped down to spend more time with his family, wish he could have stayed.
Hegseth orders ship named after famous actuary and politician Harvey Milk to be renamed:
Wow. Actually saying that the name was intentionally being changed during Pride month is about as dickish as you can be.
Sitting it out because of bone spurs is warrior culture, right?
When do they change the name of the USS Franklin Delano Roosevelt to some able-bodied he-man’s name?
Like, say, “He-Man”?
I’m waffling on whether to guess he’s going to name them all for Confederate military or if they’ll be named Donald J. Trump 1, Donald J. Trump 2, Donald J. Trump 3, …
