He's the 19-year-old who Unelected Co-President Elon Musk thought was a perfect choice to access the federal government's most sensitive information. That was after teen Coristine was fired from an internship after boasting how he had accessed "every single machine" and was suspected of leaking propriety information to a competitor.

Kristi Noem Poses With Her $60K Rolex While Committing War Crime

When aspiring Instagram model and part-time DHS secretary Kristi L. Noem visited El Salvador's most notorious mega-prison on Wednesday, she sported a shiny gold watch on her wrist that experts have identified as an 18-karat gold Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watch that sells for about $50,000.

Co-POTUS Loses It Over Judge Assigned To Signal War Chat Lawsuit

Two days after The Atlantic published a shocking report about top Trump administration officials recklessly using Signal to coordinate a military strike in Yemen, the nonpartisan watchdog group American Oversight sued members of the chat for allegedly breaking federal laws requiring officials to preserve records during their time in office. Donald unleashed a post on Truth Social with a conspiracy theory since Judge James Boasberg was assigned to the Signal lawsuit. Boasberg is the same judge who ordered the administration earlier this month not to deport a plane full of Venezuelan immigrants to El Salvador without due process.

This Military Wife Is On Fire Over Signalgate

We should all be furious about the shocking Signalgate negligence, lawbreaking and incompetence at the highest level of the Trump administration. But Kendall Brown probably has more reasons than most. She says her husband is serving in the military near Yemen, the place that the so-called national security honchos discussed bombing on an unsecure app and with a reporter in the chat. Brown's senator, Republican Markwayne Mullin, shrugged off what should have cost every official on the chat their job. Worse, the senator suggested it was a nothingburger in comparison to Hillary Clinton's emails.
