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 don’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.

Oh, she feels ‘thrown under the bus?’ Who could’ve seen it coming?

(Everyone. Everyone saw it coming. Except apparently Noem herself.)

We're in court today asking a judge to block a new Kansas law that invalidates the IDs of transgender people and allows anyone to sue a person they suspect of being trans for using public restrooms.

This law has been wreaking havoc on trans people and we're demanding an immediate end to it.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

they knew they could get away with it because they practiced all those times on the “narco-terrorist” boats, where they also killed the survivors, and nobody sent them to The Hague about it so they are running completely unchecked right now with full use of the arsenal. I do not know how this ends
