Kristi Noem Survived Many Crises. Then She Crossed a Trump Red Line.

Report says Trump fired Noem
because she blamed him for her $200 million ad campaign. I look forward to the day when we sweep out Trump’s self-promoting profiteers and choose leaders who seek only the honor of serving their country.

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

The location of the plaque that was just hung, is in a place that it will not be visible to the public. While I am thankful for this first step, our lawsuit continues until they plaque is hung in accordance with the law.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

🚨 United States of America v. Raffensperger Learn more.

🚨BREAKING: Federal court DISMISSES Department of Justice's lawsuit to obtain Georgia's full voter file information for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Essentially, the geniuses at DOJ filed in the wrong court.

Dhillon and DOJ are now 0-3 in these cases.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

ICE detains 5-year old Minnesota boy; lawyer says agents used him as β€˜bait’ The Columbia Heights school district says federal agents have detained four children in their district. School officials and a lawyer for the family say agents used 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramo as β€œbai...

"[M]asked agents apprehended 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos in his driveway on Tuesday...[the agent] led him to the door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a 5-year-old as bait.”

1/The law requires a judicial warrant based on probable cause signed by a judge to enter a home or private area in a biz (not an administrative one signed by an β€œimmigration authority” ie a DHS employee). This is clearly unlawful conduct. ICE can’t change the law just because it doesn’t like it.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.

Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

Casual reminder that the myth of β€œpulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

The worst part about the boat strikes - regardless of who ordered what and besides the ultimate tragedy of lives lost - is they’re forever a stain on the dignity of the United States military.

That's why the military has the right to refuse illegal orders. Illegal orders could ruin the military.

Last Week's Elections Spark Calls To Repeal Women's Right To Vote An insidious thread runs through the movement to repeal the 19th Amendment

Last week's elections showed the power of women voters, who delivered decisive wins for Democrats across the nation. Now, there's a surge in calls to repeal women's right to vote. Could this radical Christian nationalist agenda splinter the MAGA movement or pull them further toward extremism?

Cutting 30,000 jobs at the VA, which will put veterans' services at risk.

Firing federal workers across government, many of whom are veterans.

Gutting SNAP & Medicaid, which millions of veterans need.

Our vets defended us, and this is how the Trump regime is repaying them?

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform β€” and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

This #VeteransDay, our gratitude is with all who served, and our hearts are with the families of the fallen. We honor their sacrifice not just with words, but with action. That means fighting to protect the benefits they were promised and committing to end #ForeverWars.
