Kristi Noem Misled Congress About Corey Lewandowskiโ€™s Role in DHS Contracts Testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Noem denied that Corey Lewandowski had any role in approving contracts. But internal DHS records and interviews with current and former agency staffer...

Kristi Noem personally approved all DHS contracts over a certain threshold.

But before the contracts reached her, they had to be approved by political appointees. Lewandowski was typically the last to OK a contract before Noem, DHS officials said.

DHS wants to build a system to surveil Americansโ€™ travel records

A Saturday scoop from @schuylermitchell.bsky.social: Previously unreported documents show that DHS wants to build a tool that would track personal travel data, including passenger names and their itineraries. Last year, a similar program was shuttered over public outcry.

I like this Ben Stiller fellow. When he made a movie in Wilmington, Ohio, he was nice to people. And look โ€” he stands up for himself rather than allowing himself to be ritually humiliated.

The location of the plaque that was just hung, is in a place that it will not be visible to the public. While I am thankful for this first step, our lawsuit continues until they plaque is hung in accordance with the law.

She taught thousands of Black Americans how to defeat Jim Crow with a pen.

Septima Poinsette Clark helped build citizenship schools that taught people to read, pass voter registration literacy tests and claim their right to vote.

Her classrooms helped build the civil rights movement.

The Kennedy Center may never recover if Trump demolishes it

Weโ€™re in court to stop it

Itโ€™s monstrous that fascist senate republican Tim Sheehy has gotten away with violently breaking the arm of a US Marine dressed in full military uniform which was captured on video and the scumbag later bragged about doing it on social media. MAGA is a violent terrorist cult.

What happened in Texas was intentional. Designed to discourage voters, and itโ€™s part of a national plan led by the same Republicans who tried to overturn the 2020 election.

๐Ÿšจ Trump officials attended a summit of election deniers who want the president to take over midterms.

Watch all of this.
