Our Ambassadors should have a basic understanding of the Constitution. But apparently, that's too much to ask of this Admin.

Trump's pick to be Ambassador to El Salvador (who was also Noem's deputy at DHS) had trouble answering basic questions about our Constitution.

Florence ICE detainee dead after untreated tooth infection, official says An ICE detainee, who had been at a Florence detention center for four months, died Monday following an untreated tooth infection.

Last year, at least 32 people died in ICE custody — the most in 2 decades. Reports show at least 9 have died already this year. How many more before Republicans act?

Trump & Republicans cut Medicaid & SNAP to give this lawless agency an extra $75 BILLION.

Not one more dime.

Yesterday, I asked Kristi Noem’s former number 2, whether he disagreed with Noem’s statement that Renee Good & Alex Pretti were “domestic terrorists."

He refused to answer.

It's clear no one in this Administration knows right from wrong. He should not be representing our country.

Huffman, Raskin Lead Call for Investigation of "Armageddon" Briefings Thirty Democrats ask Pentagon inspector general to investigate military briefings allegedly casting Iran as a Christian holy war

“If accurate, these outrageous statements—justifying a war based on interpretations of biblical prophecies, and informing troops that they are risking their lives to advance a specific religious vision—raises not only glaring Constitutional concerns, but potential violations of DoD regulations…”

Met with Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) owners to discuss the challenges facing small and minority-owned businesses. Maryland has the most DBEs in the nation, and I’m fighting to reauthorize the DBE Program so these businesses can compete, grow, and keep building our infrastructure.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

The Iranian frigate that the U.S. Navy sunk was unarmed and the U.S. Navy knew it.

'Christ is king' becomes a loaded phrase in US political debates, especially on the right On its own, the phrase “Christ is king” sums up a core tenet of the Christian faith, that Jesus is the divine ruler of the universe.

“Every good Christian should kick [Jerry] Falwell in the ass.”

So Noem will need to move out of the Commandant’s house? Right?

To recap - Trump just fired Noem because she revealed he let her do some corruption too... replaced her with the most dimwitted obedient senator he could find... and didn't even tell her, letting her do an event here in Nashville where she was the only one who didn't know she was canned

leadership!

Maybe AI suggested the changes? I have a BP prescription that works great. I had to go to the ER a few weeks ago and they changed my BP prescription based on advice from AI and told me about it when I was discharged. It took a couple of weeks to get that all straightened out.
