A Memphis pastor told me ICE is taking Afghan Christians from his congregation—people here LEGALLY, who committed NO violent crimes and even helped our troops as interpreters.
"The worst of the worst" was always a lie.
Kristi Noem was fired, but she’s not off the hook. She MUST be investigated.
Kristi Noem is fired. Good riddance.
But the fight does not end here. Abolish ICE. Dismantle DHS. Hold the fascists accountable for their crimes.
Under Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security became increasingly aggressive and willing to push the boundaries of the law.
It’s long past time that she was fired.
But accountability can’t stop with one person. We must hold ICE accountable and work towards commonsense reforms.
BREAKING:
Today Trump fired Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary, and replaced her with Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK).
Mullin has no homeland security experience. What he DOES have: violent threats, recent media disasters, absolute Trump loyalty.
This is alarming. Thread 🧵
#Noem #Mullin #Trump #DHS
I want to see a BIPARTISAN grilling of Senator Mullin at his appointment hearing.
💯 I agree except I think Mullin is worse, because he's a better liar.
Only Trump would replace an unhinged dog killer with Mullin, who makes a stiff motel bedspread look intelligent
A Mullin appointment will continue Kristi Noem's ways, & I can also speak to his cruelty to healthcare that I have witnessed personally since 2018. He's absolutely devoid of any compassion for healthcare access & that says what you NEED to know.🤬
I'm sure Mullin will get confirmed at the end of the day, but I'm also sure Chairman Paul will want to see him squirm at least a little.
Can’t wait hear how it’s Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton’s fault that the U.S. military carpet-bombed Tehran and sank an unarmed Iranian ship, leaving survivors to drown.

WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
Oh no....the ramifications of this. Who made this disgusting and disastrous call. Omg...thats horrible.
All based on the MAGA Neo Con philosophy of "kill them all, let god sort them out"...
We have become the them they used to warn us about..
Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
Here is Trump's new pick to be Secty of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin getting so rattled in a Senate hearing by union leader Sean O'Brien that he threatens to fight him. Imagine how much Mullin would freak out in a real crisis?!!
You could literally walk into a bar, find the dumbest drunk buffoon, and they could probably do a better… wait, I just described Pete Hegseth.
A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔
Biden was such a decent man. We didn't fully appreciate him until he was gone and we realized what the cat had dragged in.
I know one thing, before it's over people are going to get tired of me screaming about how if more of us would take advantage of early voting, a lot of what the GOP does to suppress votes on voting day wouldn't work.
They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
He should go to jail.
(Also this was straight up battery, possibly aggravated, which if you or I did it would likely carry a ~3yr jail sentence based on federal guidelines)
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.
A couple things…
The “conflict“ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.
And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!

Two real estate goons and zero nuclear experts trying to negotiate on nuclear weapons 😳, go figure. Those two probably had no idea what was being proposed because they didn’t know what was being discussed!
I’m ordering flags to be flown at half-staff as we pay our final respects to Reverend Jesse Jackson ahead of his interment this weekend.
Reverend Jackson’s lifetime of lessons and wisdom leaves a righteous path that is well prepared to carry forward his vision of a better world.
The Secretary of War Crimes should have to blow into a breathalyzer to unlock his office door every morning.
Another wow. What a turnaround.
Wow. More invective from Marjorie.
