Kristi Noem testified under oath yesterday that detainees receive medical attention within 12 hours. Yet another shameless lie.

Trump says he gives the US a 15/10 grade for Iran war The president opened his remarks at an unrelated White House event on artificial intelligence that the U.S. is "doing very well on the war front, to put it mildly." Trump said someone asked him to rate on a scale of 10 how well he thought the U.S. was doing and said, "about a 15."

People who have the ability to send us to war should have to take drug tests first.

Drugs fuck with perception of reality. Simulate thoughts and feelings that aren't rationally supported.

Give false enthusiasm and a feeling of self-praise.

Hegseth, Rubio, Trump NEED TO PEE IN A CUP!

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.

🤬🤮

Karoline Leavitt told us the US State Department was helping Americans stranded in the Middle East.

She lied.

One Texas woman in Dubai called the State Department hotline, was scolded for being scared and then hung up on.

This administration is *full* of incompetent, rude people.

Agree 💯% With Senator Mark Kelly.......

Because Republicans.

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.

He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

NEW: The House Ethics Committee will investigate allegations that GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales had an affair with a former staff member who later died after setting herself on fire.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

Just thinking about what we could do with a billion dollars a day that doesn’t include bombing people.

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

New rule: if you’re batshit crazy you don’t get to be Speaker of the House or Secretary of Defense or any other position in the US government

Rebecca Balant starts by getting Noem to agree that US is a nation of laws. Asks how many times DHS fails to follow court orders.

Noem: We've never violated court order.

Balant cites Schiltz on 200 violations.

Jayapal to Noem: "I want to introduce you to just four of the US citizens unlawfully detained by ICE ... they're in this room with us."

There may be something wrong with me. I find myself agreeing with Marjorie🤪

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

BREAKING: DOJ confirms that 47,635 Epstein files have been removed, per The Independent.

Watch Rep Joe Neguse (D-CO) take apart Kristi Noem (R-SD) with surgical precision over her corrupt and fraudulent $200 million no bid ad campaign for DHS. This man never ceases to amaze me with how good he is at this. Great job congressman!!🎯🎯🎯

Only one first lady knew Epstein. When will she testify??

Trump and his regime never has a plan about anything they do. All decisions are made according to Trump's whims. He constantly changes his mind and then everyone just "wings it". That's no way to run a government. It's sloppy reckless, + massively irresponsible. Definitely not good for Americans.

So vibes then.

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities

McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflict—and 9000
miles from North America—makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

KAMLAGER-DOVE: At any point in your tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?

NOEM: You're peddling tabloid garbage

K: You should be able to answer if someone asks if a federal official is sleeping with their subordinate

NOEM: It's garbage

K: It's about your judgment

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.
