It’s Tuesday…
President Shitshow’s public schedule for…
The live-or-recorded interview with Sid Rosenberg of 77 WABC Radio was uploaded this morning. It runs about twenty minutes, during which Sid devotes most of his airtime to telling his Orange God how deeply and personally he hearts him.
He’s headed to Iowa today to explain how his economic agenda is “affordable” and “great for farmers.” Expect a glowing reference to the $12 million farmer bailout he announced on December 8, 2025, because nothing says thriving rural economy like emergency checks and a victory lap.
Trump: We are going to be giving and providing it to the farmers in economic assistance. Farmers like me based on voting trends. So we are going to use that money to provide $12 billion in economic assistance to American farmers. $12 billion is a lot of money pic.twitter.com/Gm3Af0M986

None of the local coverage about his Iowa rally at the Horizon Events Center bothers to say which space inside the venue he’ll actually be using, which feels on-brand for an event that exists mostly as a vibe and a press release.

“Commander at large” no more:
Border Patrol commander to leave Minneapolis after shooting of Alex Pretti, says official

Gregory Bovino, the border patrol commander who has become the public face of the immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, is being swapped in the city with the border czar, Tom Homan, as the Trump administration reshuffles the leadership of its immigration enforcement operation and scales back the federal presence after a second fatal shooting by officers.
The carting off of Bovino comes nearly immediately after he went on the Sunday cable news shows and said that border patrol officials are the real victims following the shooting death of nurse Alex Pretti by federal agents.
A senior Trump administration official told Reuters that the 55-year-old, who has been a lightning rod for criticism from Democrats and civil liberties activists, would be leaving Minnesota along with some of the agents deployed with him.
A different person familiar with the matter said Bovino had been stripped of his specially created title of “commander at large” of the border patrol and would return to his former job as a chief patrol agent along California’s El Centro sector of the US-Mexico border.

Speaking of ICE and Homeland security…
I saw this last night:
BREAKING: Noem has reportedly been told she will be fired.
— Conservative (@Conservative1AZ) January 27, 2026
I obviously headed to google and found a story posted to Yahoo that originally appeared via the Independent.
Kristi Noem’s odds of being the first Trump cabinet member to get fired have surged among political bettors after her attempts to defend the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minnesota.
On both Polymarket and Kalshi, two popular “prediction market” sites, the Homeland Security secretary now leads the pack for the question “Who will be the first to leave the Trump Cabinet?”
Having been tipped at only 12 percent probability on January 21, Noem had soared to 40 percent on Kalshi and 43 percent on Polymarket as of Monday afternoon.
Yahoo. 01/27/2026.
Polymarket; Who will be the first to leave the Trump Cabinet?
It’s shouting at the press before it departs for Iowa.

CNN (01/26/2026):
Venezuela’s acting president Delcy Rodríguez said Sunday she has had “enough” of Washington’s orders, as she works to unite the country after the US capture of its former leader Nicolás Maduro.

On Monday, she said at a public event that Venezuela does not fear the US but stopped short of antagonizing the country.
“We are not afraid. Nor are we afraid of maintaining respectful relations with the United States, but they must be based on respect – respect for international law, basic human respect in interpersonal relations, and respect for the dignity and history of Venezuela,” she said.
