Why is the now former Secretary of Labor's family so horny? Why are they, allegedly, wandering around the halls of the Labor Department like they're sailors in a red light district?
No one, not the New York Times, not the Daily Mail, has explained this. Journalism is dying.
People may know Chavez-DeRemer allegedly had an affair with a member of her security team and her husband was banned from the Labor Dept building for harassing women, but it feels like the involvement of the secretary's FATHER has gone criminally undernoted. And why does he text like a 14 year old?
Not so long ago diGenova seemed to be attempting to get indicted Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash to make up stuff about Hunter Biden in exchange for getting charges against him dropped. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...
“On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to Justice Department and White House officials.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

This is fucked up.
These people should be in the U.S.
I don't care if they used legal means.
People don't emigrate and immigrate illegally unless it's better than whatever they came from.
Sending them to a 3rd country they have NEVER BEEN TO that is halfway across the damn wolrd...FUCK THE GOP
On April 10, the Big Beautiful Jet left Miami toward Pakistan - the same day as Vance.
Why depart from Miami? Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were in Miami for the UFC fight the next day.

It appears JD Vance flew to Pakistan for failed talks with Iran on the jet the Daily Show dubbed a "taxpayer-funded fuck plane." As Nick notes, that suggests the "Big Beautiful Jet" was never intended to transport detainees, as DHS has claimed. More on that plane. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
"There is no such thing as absolute immunity for federal agents who violate the law in the state of Minnesota," Hennepin county attorney Mary Moriarty said. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
There is a long-standing fear, in big towns and small, of a giant company coming in and swallowing up everything else, because that’s what so much of their experience of American capitalism has been. But there’s something even worse than getting another Walmart, and it’s being promised a Walmart and getting only a Spirit Halloween.
Spent some time in Louisiana, and talked to folks around the country, for this piece on the rise of the AI oligarchy, and what the data center boom—and backlash—is really about www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:
🚨 BREAKING: 2 corporate sponsors of Trump's Freedom 250 have apparently dropped out. Mastercard and Deloitte, previously listed as sponsors of Freedom 250, are no longer on the list of sponsor companies. United Airlines is a notable addition to the sponsor list. Freedom250.org (left) is now 250.gov
Trump’s DOJ trying to erase the seditious conspiracy he caused was not some inevitability and marks a further descent. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Commutations were not sufficient for the administration evidently. By the they're done, US taxpayers will be paying these seditionists reparations and funding statues of them on the Mall.
This report on the “Biden Administration’s Weaponization of the FACE Act” repeatedly cites conduct that occurred…during the first Trump administration.
Hungary's prime minister elect announcing that Orbán was funding CPAC and other Trump-related political activities (also Heritage Foundation's Project 2025), and this will now end.
Pulte is dealing with investigations by GAO, FHFA's IG and fed prosecutors in Md, plus scrutiny from congressional Dems itching to subpoena him if they get gavels next year. But he's still trucking along, having recently sent new letters trying to spur a new criminal probe into Tish James.
Vance to be fair is busy stumping for Orban's reelection in Hungary. And the WH denies the VP vaguely referencing unused "tools" while discussing how to destroy Iranian civilization was a nuclear threat. But JD does seem to be off to a slow start leading peace talks. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...
Remember when DHS agents had no choice but to shoot two Venezuelan men because the men had attacked them with a snow shovel and a broomstick?
New video shows they were lying about that one, too.

Here are two articles of ours that House Oversight Dems quote in their letter questioning Salus Worldwide. I’m sad Dems lacked the courage to cite the version with my more aggressive headline. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...; www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
This comes after a Senate letter to Salus Worldwide from earlier this week led by @gallego.senate.gov & signed by six other senators, which also cite the latest @pogo.org & @motherjones.com story on Salus & DHS leaders

Congress is ramping up its investigations of Salus Worldwide Solutions & its connection to Corey Lewandowski's alleged pay-to-play scheme. New oversight letter today from @robertgarcia.house.gov citing two stories @dfriedman.bsky.social & I wrote

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...
Say what you will about the Islamic Republic of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security, but it seems like they give more of a shit than Chuck Grassley about why the director of the FBI was recently getting payments from China, Qatar and (sorta) Russia. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
The Handala HackTeam may now know much more than US senators about what exactly the FBI director did in exchange for large payments he got from foreign interests including a Russian-linked film company, a Chinese firm and Qatar's government. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
He should sign only the $200 billion he wants for attacking Iran. home.treasury.gov/news/press-r...
