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.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth, a former Fox News anchor, had criticized media outlets—including his former network—for what he described as unpatriotic reporting. Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.
