Federal Government To Keep $20k After Yellowstone Drug Bust

Gov. Kristi Noem (R-S. D.), has some advice for Donald Trump: He should pick a woman as his running mate. “All the polls tell him in these swing states that a woman on the ticket helps him win—the polls just say that,” Noem said on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday. Noem has been floated as a possible Trump VP contender, but she’s reportedly no longer under consideration after a disastrous rollout of her book, in which she described killing her own puppy (which she defended again on Sunday) and lied about meeting North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un.

If you were on Twitter or TikTok over the weekend, you might have seen people talking about Project 2025. Led by the right-wing think tank the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 is a presidential transition operation—basically a government-in-waiting if former President Donald Trump returns to office on Jan. 20, 2025. The $22 million effort does not say it is specifically intended for Trump, but that it wants a conservative as the next commander-in-chief.

New Delhi — Narendra Modi was sworn in Sunday for a rare third consecutive term as India’s prime minister, relying on his coalition partners after his party failed to win a parliamentary majority in a surprise outcome. Modi and his Cabinet ministers took the oath of office, administered by President Droupadi Murmu, at India’s presidential palace Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] The 73-year-old popular but polarizing leader is only the second Indian prime minister after Jawaharlal Nehru to retain power for a third five-year term. His Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, which won by landslides in 2014 and 2019, failed to secure a majority to govern on its own in the latest national election.

Using Newark, NJ, as his lens, Cashill shows how it wasn’t racism that drove white flight but horrible political decisions that destroyed civil society.

Just imagine if a similar article had pointed out how Trump used his tenure in the White House to benefit his family.
