Feb 13 — White House on Noem, in a statement: “The President continues to have full confidence in the Secretary.”
Mar 6 — White House on Bondi, in a statement: “The President has full faith in the Attorney General.”
Start the clock.
Inspired by ProPublica’s new database, I created a visualization of the nearly 400 LLCs that make up Trump’s business empire.

This could get ugly quickly.
Lewandowski Dominates at DHS Once Noem took over at DHS, with Lewandowski by her side, the longtime Trump ally began to use his position to contact powerful people in the private sector for purposes that were never made clear to many senior department officials, multiple DHS staffers told NR. Lewandowski regularly ran meetings with private sector companies and would constantly pester senior leaders inside DHS to track down CEOs’ cellphone numbers, fomenting suspicions within DHS that he was using his connections to private sector interests for personal gain. Kickstart Your Day with The Morning Jolt Start your mornings with expert political insights from NR’s Jim Geraghty. Enter your email Subscribe “His team would call private sector companies, always under the guise that the ‘secretary’ would be the one calling, the ‘secretary’ needed the information. The ‘secretary’ needed a meeting,” a senior administration official recalled. “It was never the secretary, it was always Corey.”
Plenty of right wingers had it in for Kristi and Corey--some of the best hit pieces have been in right wing outlets, like this one in NRO. But it's hilarious that Lewandowski's constant effort to cash is treated as a new thing--he's been doing it for 11 years.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is
Had to doublecheck the date on this
There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.
War weighed heavily on both Eisenhower and Lincoln. “That cannot be said of everyone in power, and lately it seems like it can be said of hardly anyone in power.”

Get ready for some "warflation": higher prices for oil, gas, food (lots of fertilizer passes through Hormuz), goods made with petrochemicals (umbrellas, shampoo, toys, etc.), and pretty much anything that needs to be transported anywhere.

Reupping.
Not only did Trump minimize possibility of terrorist attacks on US. But White House nixed a law enforcement bulletin ABOUT those threats.
CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
1. In strategic terms this is correct.
2. The US military and intelligence apparatus still has immense resources and a lot of skilled people capable of big tactical wins in airstrike targeting and maybe down the line seizing Kharg.
3. Hubris generated by 2. reinforces 1.
“I actually liked that he sat behind her while she was grilled on the ICE atrocities,” the person said. “I think he’s ignored the reality. Maybe he has to face it now.” In a Wednesday House hearing, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-Calif.) grilled Noem over rumors of her affair with Lewandowski, her top adviser and “special government employee.” Bryon Noem had left the briefing shortly before the tense questioning came up — during which Kristi Noem refused to deny her rumored relationship with Lewandowski, a leading figure in President Trump’s 2016 campaign. A second family member told The Post that the controversy unfolding publicly was shocking — and the relative hopes it will wake Bryon up to the reality of his marriage.

Excellent NYT video analysis finds that the bombing of scores of schoolchildren in Iran came amid other US strikes in the vicinity:

350,000 peoples’ lives hang in the balance. A majority entered the U.S. legally and have never been in violation of any immigration law. They’ve had to go through multiple background checks. And yet they’re hanging on by a thread, even though the situation in Haiti hasn’t gotten any better.
White House: the witness’s allegations are “completely baseless” and “backed by zero credible evidence.”
Fact: FBI found her credible enough to interview repeatedly, and she received a financial settlement from the Epstein estate.
The Trump DOJ FINALLY releases missing files directly alleging sexual abuse of a minor by Trump that DOJ claims were “offline” but then suddenly came online after Pamela Jo was subpoenaed by House Oversight.
I review the allegations, including specific details about Trump.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Jimmy Kimmel tonight: The reason Trump hasn't testified yet about the Epstein files is you can't put him under oath. If he swears to tell the truth, he's already committed perjury.

Trump stooges blame abysmal jobs report on the weather—yes, really Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett hit the airwaves Friday to spin yet another month of terrible jobs numbers . Both had the same talking points, ...
