excerpt:

The Center for Biological Diversity sued to stop the administration from replacing the contest-winning Glacier photo with Trump’s image.

Noem Spirals When Asked Who Let in Alleged National Guard Shooter

excerpt:

"It’s been two weeks since the shooting took place. In that time, Noem has repeatedly thwarted attempts to pin her agency for Lakanwal’s asylum, even though that’s actually what happened.

excerpt:

“This shows that their whole cover story – that this is about interdicting drugs – is a big lie,” Van Hollen said. “This is just one more piece of evidence that this is really about regime change – by force.”

Rand Paul, a Republican senator of Kentucky, told NewsNation that “seizing someone’s oil tanker is an initiation of war” and questioned whether “it’s the job of the American government to go looking for monsters around the world, looking for adversaries and beginning wars”.
