Secretary of Homeland Security? I hardly Noem! But Markwayne my words, I intend to learn more! Impressed that there was not too much Mullin needed before making this announcement. Kristi.

NEW: American Nathan Martin wins the closest Los Angeles Marathon in race history, beating Kenya’s Michael Kimani Kamau by just 00.01 seconds. Martin was seen chasing down Kamau at the end of the race. “I made an actual move five miles out… when I saw no one else was picking

Eh. Yesterday I had to use an LLM to figure out how to make the Recycle Bin accessible on my Senate computer after it automatically upgraded to Windows 11, while trying to log into Teams but the 2FA app on my Android wouldn't load. I just can't get excited about this one.

Betting markets need to go away.
