FORMER DHS Secretary Kristi Noem wasn't fired, she was given a new position and allowed to remain a influential Politician. Will she ever be held accountable?

"United States Senate Committee On Homeland Security and Government Affairs" 'Delayed by Design'
Mileti would have loved this.

CSPAN @cspan . @SpeakerJohnson after House blocked War Powers Resolution: "We're not at war, we have no intention at being at war. The president and the Department of Defense have made it very clear, this is a limited operation."
Darkly funny he had enough self-awareness to revert to "Department of Defense" here.
In Gaza, Israel and Biden normalized war crimes beyond anything we have seen before.
And now, Israel and Trump are using that model against Iranian civilians.
At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says

When might that be happening?
I WISH HER NOTHING BUT THE WORST
My disaster recovery students: “Dr. Montano, why isn’t FEMA allowed to do door knocking anymore?”
Me: SCREAMS
I wish nothing but the worst for Karen Evans.

Stephanie Hartman is a piece of work.
FDEM building a goddamn concentration camp *and* with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars going to private contractors — some with ties to state politicians — is about as fucking “newsworthy” as it gets, girl!
The Republicans seem to be prepping an argument that any domestic terror attacks in the aftermath of their Iran attacks will be the fault of Democrats for shutting down DHS funding, so I'd like to remind everyone of this appointment:
Every quote I give to journalists these days is just basically, “this is INSANE??? Hello???!!!”.
The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.
👏👏 good reporting here! May Kevin Guthrie rot in hell.
If you’re new to this here is more backstory from an emergency management perspective: open.substack.com/pub/disaster...
Do you want to work with me and @samlmontano.bsky.social ???
Well, we are hiring. I would love to work with someone who is cool. It's a good gig. Feel free to reach out.
One of my favourite sides of politics/media.
I am pleasantly surprised by my co-workers response to all this. Every time the presenter asks a question someone heckles “why don’t you ask AI”.
7% of Democrats support the war on Iran. And all of them are in Congress.

<<Taps sign>> Same dude who thought the stealth fighter was literally invisible, said people should ingest bleach, wanted to nuke a hurricane, thought Seoul's population was 38 million because he couldn't read Wikipedia, and wants to take over Greenland because he doesn't get the Mercator projection
Relevant to me and @samlmontano.bsky.social who are trapped in this 'training' at the moment.
We are off to a good start.
Apparently the other day they sent a link to an app or something for us to download for the training and we all deleted it/ reported it as spam.
Proud of our cybersecurity skills and accidental dissent.
meme that reads “Noem not spending the $9 billion just sitting in the DRF”, “noem spending $5 billion of the $9 billion on recovery” in one week… to purposefully drain the DRF during a shutdown.
In summary…
It’s almost like expertise is fucking important.
Thank you!!
Exactly.
To be super clear... what's happening here is that Noem is trying to force the DHS shutdown to end by spending all of FEMA's money with the hope that when the next disaster happens, Congress will have to pass a budget (all while presumably people are harmed in said disaster).
Really fucked up shit.
Sorry this is insane.
LMAOOOOOO.
Noem's strategy of pretending the Disaster Relief Fund was almost empty didn't work, so she drained it (bad) by paying out $5 billion in recovery projects (good).
This lady is fucking nuts.
