Today on Ben Kissel Politics, we take you on a journey through America's weirdest political decisions, starting with… Kristi Noem, who’s back in the news and somehow still doing everything except helping her constituents.

🐊 Meanwhile in Florida (obviously), prison officials are greenlighting what we’re calling “Alligator Alcatraz” — a massive new facility in the swamps, because apparently incarceration isn’t cruel enough without reptiles.

🚨 And in Texas, Democrats stage a walkout to break quorum over a proposed racially biased redistricting map. Nothing like voting rights theater to remind us we’re still living in a political reality show—but with fewer coherent plot lines and more sunscreen.

It’s one part satire, one part outrage, and all parts “wait, that’s real?”

Tune in for political chaos, swamp creatures, and the kind of leadership decisions that make you say, “You know what? Maybe the alligators should vote.”
