Of all the horrible, corrupt and incompetent things Kristi Noem has done that would get any other Cabinet secretary fired, the thing that now seems likely to result in her termination is the unpardonable MAGA sin of blaming Trump for her corruption when she got caught.
There should be zero financial incentive to become a politician. It should be codified.
Theyβre raping people on your dime.
Having spent a year criticizing, insulting and threatening European leaders, Donald Trump now sees the value of having friends in strategically important places.
That is, if they have military assets he can use.
New on MS NOW:
The war with Iran is costing the U.S. an estimated $1 billion a day, according to two congressional sources with knowledge of the matter.
Based on that estimate, the U.S. has spent at least $5 billion on the war since it began on Feb. 28.
The subpoena passed 24-19. Bondi is coming in to Oversight. We can hold the Epstein class accountable if we are willing to cross the aisle and build a coalition of accountability.
I am glad we now have a brave leader (Markwayne Mullins) for Homeland Security. He will certainly stand up for the American People.
Ummmm....
This is the man who is now in charge of US Homeland Security.
Former editor here: "Imminent" means "likely to occur at any moment." There's no such thing as 47 years of imminent.
At more than $5 billion and counting, the cost of Operation Epic Fury so far could cover SNAP benefits for more than 2 million Americans.
But instead of feeding hungry people at home, we're cutting food stamps in order to lower taxes for the rich and boost military spending to record levels.
Thats a shame.
Now that Noem has been fired.
Please arrest her for theft from American Taxpayers.
and general Cruelty.
I voted with Rep Nancy Mace to release these files.
Release files about harassers in Congress.
Release files about the Epstein predators.
Not hard, folks.
NEW: When asked if top aide Corey Lewandowski has βa role in approving contracts,β DHS Secretary Kristi Noem replied, βNo.β
But internal DHS records contradict her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Non-citizens voting in federal elections is already illegal and extremely rare.
So whatβs the SAVE Act really about?
Forcing millions of citizens to dig up passports or birth certificates just to register to vote.
Solve a fake problem. Create real barriers. #SaveActTaxesVoters
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks with reporters. (AP / Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call)
AOC: βThatβs one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American pplβ
Well would you look at that
Buried in the "fog of war" are reports that 47,635 files were removed from the Epstein files that were made public by the Justice Department in accordance with the Transparency Act..
Americans have seen ample proof that when the Republican Party goes looking for waste, fraud and abuse they look no further than programs that feed the poor or help improve the well being of citizens. If you really want to see waste fraud and abuse look at the military and corporate farm subsidies.

It's difficult to imagine a less Presidential President.
Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harmβs way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.
The reason why our stockpiles are seriously depleted is not because of Joe Biden. It is because the Iran War is the SEVENTH bombing campaign by Trump in the past year. And that doesnβt count the Venezuelan boats. bsky.app/profile/atru...
