BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

A handbag belonging to Kristi Noem, the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, containing her passport, department security badge and $3,000 in cash was stolen on Sunday at a restaurant in Washington, the department confirmed.

We in the UK do not want a trade deal with Trump. Let's concentrate on our nearest and most reliable leaders in the EU! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrFh...

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

She. Is. A. Child.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and his embattled, shrinking coterie of senior advisers faced new allegations of malfeasance, with a report alleging that Hegseth shared sensitive, advance information about a bombing campaign in Yemen with a group that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer.

Amazing that Secretary of Defense is so addled in the morning that he can’t even shave correctly.

Remember this? Drinking at the podium. Chaos at the Pentagon. We’re one whiskey shot away from DEFCON 1. Every Senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew exactly who he was. They don’t get to act shocked now—they should be held accountable.

Another win for Brexit.

This guy is crashing out hard

Sorry, we promised not to post much today but we had to make a special callout. We forgot to give a proper shoutout to a few places yesterday. Denver and Dallas Fort Worth, you broke records. You were incredible.

And guess who’s the worst offender Nigel Farage made more money than any other MP from additional jobs in this parliament so far. The Reform UK leader has declared an average of about 24 hours’ work a week & has voted in only a third of parliamentary votes this parliament, avg MP voted 72% of time

In case you missed it ... it's been almost a decade since anyone in government has talked about the benefits of being in the Single Market or the whole EU. So the UK public has come to the conclusion that Brexit must go based solely on their own lived experience. No politician can avoid that forever

Deeply embarrassing stuff from the Secretary of Defense

Crazy!

Britain gives verdict on key issues - Most people want to see closer trade ties with the European Union. Asked whether Donald Trump's erratic trade policy means the UK should seek closer ties with the blow, 50% of all voters agreed. Just 14% are opposed. 🇪🇺👍 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

It's not even Easter in Russia or Ukraine.

Can’t wait for her tearful “I was just doing my job” spew during her deposition for crimes against humanity 😻

Love this

Mic drop

Mr business man, my arse, get shot of the asshole before it's to late, that's if it isn't already?

Angus: Well, Donald Trump, I’m going to say this once—and I might never say it again—I want to thank you. I want to thank you for bringing Canada together. It took a malignant narcissistic slug like you to make us put aside all our differences
