What's going on there?

It's like when they announced that the El Paso airport and all airspace over El Paso would be closed for 10 days.

And then a few hours later, nope, no, sorry, didn't mean that.

And then we learned it was because they had let the Border Patrol, under Kristi Noem's leadership, play with a military laser weapon, which they used to shut down Mylar, excuse me, to shoot down Mylar party balloons over El Paso without ever telling the FAA that they were doing that.

And so the FAA closed the airspace.

And then the White House said, no, you can't close the airspace.

And so, yeah, maybe things aren't being all that well run right now.

Do you get that sense?

Today, a whistleblower testified in Congress.

He just resigned as a lawyer at ICE.

He's a guy who's been a big part of the training that ICE officers get.

He resigned and went public today, saying, quote, He said, quote,

He provided documents to Congress today that show that ICE has cut hundreds of hours from their training, including classes that teach, quote, the Constitution, our legal system, firearms training, the use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention, and the limits of officers' authority.

You want Kristi Noem to be the designated survivor?

If you did, people might Google her name, Kristi Noem.

One of the things they would come up with are these recently published photos.

Isn't this nice?

This is a plane that Kristi Noem wants taxpayers to buy for her.

This is Trump's Homeland Security secretary who already took over for herself the house that's supposed to belong to the commandant of the Coast Guard.

This is after the Wall Street Journal reported that Kristi Noem's alleged boyfriend slash chief of staff slash fixer in the Homeland Security Department fired a Coast Guard pilot in the middle of a flight because someone forgot to bring Kristi Noem's personal favorite blanket onto a flight that she was on.
