Or, tweaking liber-ALs is no longer proifitable.
The FIFA Peace Prize winners club is a far more exclusive club to be in.

And as morally ambiguous as the people who granted it.
Sounds like the head of DHS is thinking several major cities are too woke to allow international flights to land in them.
Some people may have thought that Mullin would be more reasonable than Noem.
Apparently the Pentagon has been making veiled military threats against the Vatican. Given some of the stuff happening around Easter with respect to religious actions, this doesn’t seem particularly surprising.
i am willing to be wrong, but the only thing i expected from him was that he was not banging Corey L in the govt plane as part of his duties. he might be as smart as a box of rocks
Aw. Why’s the white supremacist upset? Did he get in trouble and didn’t get a pardon?

JD Vance worried about looking bad?

Has Vance lost weight? He seemed thinner that usual in that video.

Probably on a GLP-1… 
I expect political stunts to be staged, but maybe they should try harder. The doordash to the white house was incredibly awkward, but worse if you look deeper.
Grandma having to do Doordash to cover medical costs for their partner is perhaps the most “heartwarming” message they could come up with
Didn’t realize, but it makes sense, that it was a promotion for Doordash.
Gave Trump a reason to talk about “no tax on tips”, but the driver was also chosen by Doordash, trying to look good and less of an “employer of last resort”.
The internet tells me that tips might be 50% of door dash gross pay, and car expenses might be 25% of gross pay. So, $11,000 in tips means $22,000 in gross pay and $16,500 net of expenses. If she were single, her standard deduction would be $15,750 and her FIT would be 10% of $750, or $75.
In that case, no tax on tips saves her $75 in FIT.
We don’t know her husband’s income so I can’t calculate her actual savings. But, I think a couple with an income under $128k is in the marginal 12% bracket. So if her husband made less than $111k last year (the median wage was about $62k) the NTOT value would be $1,320.
That “helped pay for her husband’s cancer treatment, offset the drop in household income, and pay for trips to see her family”. She got a lot of mileage out of the $1,320.

Factor in the 30% increase in the price of gas on top of that…
If you did this independently, it almost perfectly tracks with estimates I saw reported saying that “No tax on tips” actually saved her about $1,300.
How much tip does she get when she gets flown from Arkansas to Nevada to … to DC? I’d imagine car expense is considerably more than 25% of gross pay when you have to rent the car at the airport.
Of course it was staged.
I’m pretty sure Doordash does not deliver to The White House. That sounds like a security issue, should security people be concerned the about safety of the BLOTUS. I mean, it’s great that McD’s is slowly poisoning tRump, but it’s far too slow, and it’s slowly poisoning hundreds of million Real Americans, too.
I’m pretty sure the BLOTUS does not accept the deliveries of Doordash were they to deliver to The White House. Again, security issue.
I’m pretty sure reporters would not be there as well as a camera set up to record the whole exchange for posterity. “This is top secret: The BLOTUS will be at this spot at precisely XX:XX PM today. Burn or eat this message after reading.”
Well, I hadn’t exactly paid attention to the event until I later realized it was being used to promote NTOT.
“Trump praises trashburger” hadn’t really registered on its own.
