The New Yorker Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S. now

I donโ€™t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.

It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.

ICE is STILL in Minnesota and STILL terrorizing communities. Reporters that say otherwise are either uninformed (which....) or lazy (which... ) or just repeating regime lies (which... is also extremely bad).

People are still missing, people are and will be traumatized, businesses demolished...

He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

Peteโ€™s Pentagon Performance was even more horrendous than seeing those words in writing.

I get it, Peteโ€™s job is to create news that puts his boss front & center on the global stage to keep him happy. Peteโ€™s mad that the senseless deaths of 6 U.S. soldiers is more important than Trumpโ€™s feelings.

I remember when โ€˜Brexit Means Brexitโ€™ became a way for silly people to insist that they supported something they could neither justify nor explain. Obviously the context is very different, but something similar is already happening with the โ€˜warโ€™ in Iran. And itโ€™s mostly the same people doing it.

Make no mistake โ€” tossing anti-trans issues into "priorities" is PR to rile up the base; the real priority is the SAVE Act.

Ironically, if passed, it could disenfranchise a lot of MAGA. But guaranteed โ€” enforcement will only occur in *specific Blue areas* for midterms.

Rubio Today: Itโ€™s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. Thatโ€™s not what I said.

Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didnโ€™t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

Obama: Every day you wake up to things you just didnโ€™t think were possible. Each day weโ€™re told by those in high office to fear each other. Everywhere we see greed and bigotry being celebrated, and bullying and mockery masquerading as strength.

We are all overjoyed that Nazi Barbie Noem got the boot. But that doesn't mean the fight is over! The new nominee is just as big a POS as Noem. So, @schumer.senate.gov, LISTEN UP! NO DEMOCRAT VOTES TO CONFIRM A REPUBLICAN FOR DHS! HOLD THE LINE! GET RID OF ICE!
