Kristi Noem Ran DHS Into the Ground. That’s Not Why She Got Fired. Kristi Noem just found Trump’s red line, becoming the first cabinet member to be fired in his second term. But it wasn’t for the reasons you’d think.

β€œKristi Noem tried to upstage the President. And Trump would never stand for that. You can run an agency into the ground, and trample all over Americans’ constitutional rights, and use government funding like it’s your own personal slush fund. But you absolutely cannot steal Trump’s spotlight."

Firing Kristi Noem is not enough.
She must be prosecuted.
She must be punished.

Justice must be served.

Opinion | Trump Has Elite Law Firms on a Punishing Merry-Go-Round

β€œGiving in to bullies has its own costs, not least because bullies are never satisfied with just a single capitulation. Especially when, as with the law firms, the bully β€” that is, the Trump administration β€” was obviously playing a weak legal hand from the start.”

Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Contact Congress today!

🚨 Kristi Noem just spent TWO DAYS dodging real accountability on Capitol Hill.

This isn't leadership. This is criminal negligence.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Karoline Leavitt Responds To Direct Question About Strike On Iranian Girls' School The press secretary suggested during the briefing that many in the White House Press Corps had "fallen for" Iranian "propaganda."

Lying Karoline Leavitt has gone to the IDF spokesperson school. Full stop.

Nothing but BS non-stop from this administration which explains why we shouldn’t be in an illegal war in the first place β€” with a rogue regime with zero credibility.

"This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war without so much as even adhering to Congress. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering...So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do."

Good news!

The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, for the second time, that voters can decide whether the state can redraw its congressional map β€” clearing the way for a referendum that, if successful, could help counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They don’t know why they got into this war. They’re talking about a hundred different reasons, and they don’t know how they’re getting out.

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for β€œArmageddon,” Return of Jesus Advocacy group reports commanders giving similar messages at more than 30 installations in every branch of the military

U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for β€œArmageddon,” Return of Jesus. Any military members advancing their blood-soaked, Christian nationalist wet dreams upon the flames of this non-Congressionally sanctioned attack on Iran should be swiftly prosecuted.
