Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and itโs good sheโs gone.
But this doesnโt change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheโs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyโve already sent her to Louisiana.
The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told thereโs no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.
Over 160 schoolgirls are dead. Anthropic and Palantir executives must immediately testify and tell the public whether their AI is responsible.
If itโs true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.
This goes beyond politics, and is not even a statement about politics.
Something is wrong with us. This nation is broken on a cultural level. I can't define it, and I don't know how to fix it. But we are tearing ourselves apart. If we don't diagnose and treat that, the rest of it won't matter
MASSIE: โIran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leaderโฆ ๐บ๐ธ & ๐ฎ๐ฑ turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 ๐บ๐ธ families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.โ
Republicans use the word RIGHTEOUS to describe Trump's latest war; morally right or justifiable; virtuous. Apparently some military officers have even told their troops that this war is righteous in a Biblical sense. Acting in accordance with God's will saying Jesus told Trump to do it.
The IRIS Dena was a sitting duck. The US filmed a "quiet death" by torpedo for the news, then looked away. It took Sri Lankaโa nation with modest vessels but a true moral compassโto pull the screaming from the oil. 87 dead, 32 saved, 60 lost to the deep. No glory in a victory without a conscience.
WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
3 Australians involved.
USA under Trump is murderous, fascist, predatory country. It is no longer a constitutional Republic but a police state. I hope every UN nation understands this & imposes sanctions. Deport all US military personnel back to USA. Trump & his regime are not to be trusted by any nation #WarCrimes
We don't need MSM to report when they like on the Epstein files. Just hand it over to the taxpaying Americans. Complete and unredacted.
Itโs looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures.
Congress must step up, reassert its power, and represent the American people.
We do not want another forever war.
I'm shocked .. a bloke with the IQ of a gnat .. who lies continuously.. has been caught in yet another lie .. #DistractionWar.. anyone seen the #Unredacted #TrumpsteinFiles & willing to dump the lot online?
Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of โ on steroids.
Still going...

Talarico and Crockett are both very impressive.Texas Republicans desperately hoping for bad feelings between the two (and their supporters) will be disappointed by Crockett putting country and party over self. The seismic effects of a Democratic winning in Texas will rock the nation.
Republicans are too incompetent, corrupt, and cruel to govern. I donโt know how many times this lesson needs to be taught before white people get it through their heads. Stop. Voting. For. Republicans!
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Since the Dow is under 50,000, can we talk about the Epstein files again?
Senate Republicans just voted to block our War Powers Resolution & allow Trump's regime-change war of choice in Iran. Once again, they're contracting out their constitutional duties to Donald Trump, despite the will of their constituents.
Shameful.

Not fighting fascism is the same as supporting fascism. Vote.
The US military seems to be in love with the idea of sneak attacks. Venezuela. Iran. That Iranian warship. All sneak attacks.
Should somebody remind the US about Pearl Harbor?
"It's Not a War, It's an Operation!" "It's a Special Military Operation" Trump and Some Members of Congress. Where Have we heard this Before. Putin calls what He is doing in Ukraine as a "Special Military Operation".
Emmanuel Damas, another individual killed in ICE custody.
He had a toothache. They ignored it. He died of spesis. Read that again.
Why do we need to fund this murderous agency?
