Trump, who said he would nominate in her place Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin, made the announcement on social media on Thursday, two days after Noem faced a grilling on Capitol Hill from GOP members as well as Democrats.

And

Trump says he’ll make Noem a “Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas,” a new security initiative that he said would focus on the Western Hemisphere.

I like your first idea better. Why does your wife hate fun?

This hurts so much.

My reaction to hearing this

Richard Nixon ordered cottage cheese, pineapple slices and a glass of milk for his resignation day lunch, making quite possibly the saddest picture we’ve seen.

Neat, that was a fun read! I’ll have to try it!

People are people, some good, some bad. Love learning about the cultural differences and mythos though!

I do get annoyed when anyone lumps the cuisine just ‘Mexican food’! They’re all SO DIFFERENT!

For a decade, Brexit’s defenders have insisted the warnings were exaggerated and the pain temporary. The latest evidence shows the opposite. Brexit hasn’t been a one-off hit followed by recovery – it has quietly, relentlessly drained the UK economy year after year.

The headline numbers are brutal. UK GDP is now 6–8 per cent smaller than it would have been by 2025 – worse than forecast, not better. That is a permanent loss of national income, not a blip.

Investment has collapsed. UK business investment is 18 per cent lower than in comparable economies, as firms put money on hold or moved it elsewhere. Employment and productivity are both around 4 per cent lower, locking in weaker wage growth and lower living standards.

I know how they can save some money!

Your history memes and explainations are some of my favorite posts on the fediverse! I love the little micro history lesson that accompanies each meme. It’s like a history meme kinder egg, and they always brighten my day.

Thank you!

Thank you for letting me know and explaining!

What? No explanation?! How scandalous!

Ukrainian troops say a ‘droid’ with a .50-cal machine gun held off Russian attacks for 45 days in a row

In case anyone else wants to read about it.

Edit: Fixed the link! Thanks for the heads up!

Most countries don’t have long term fixed rate mortgages! They were first established in America by FDR in 1934 as part of the New Deal!

This is great! Love it! Thanks for sharing.
