Scott Pruitt, the former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator who resigned from his position, built a phone booth that was a waste of time and resources. We're finding out just how much so now.


Pruitt insisted on having his own secure, sound proof phone booth so he wouldn't have to go up two flights where there was already a secure sound proof booth. Now we are finding out that the $43,000 phone was used one time. Pruitt made one call for five minutes on the $43,000 phone he insisted was necessary to do his job. He said in December:

Cabinet level officials need to have access to secure communications. It's necessary for me to be able to do my job.

One. Five. Minute. Phone. Call. $43,000.

In addition to the sound proof booth, Pruitt was accused of other ethics violations including spending $3.5 million in one year on security, a new SUV and bulletproof vests. The tax payers picked up the tab for all of it.

Needless to say, people are upset including many members of the House and Senate.



The people weren't too pleased with the news either.









Some cost cutting suggestions for Trump and friends.



The people want retribution.



Drain the swamp indeed.

Trump Made A Petty Dig At Taylor Swift During The Eagles' White House Visit—Because Of Course

President Donald Trump was called out after he made a petty dig at pop star Taylor Swift during his speech for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' visit to the White House.

In a brief speech, Trump acknowledged the Eagles' 40–22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was “a little surprising,” a remark that appeared to reference the Chiefs' consecutive Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024. He then shifted focus to Swift, getting in a petty swipe drawing attention to Swift's presence at the game to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play tight end for the losing team.
