GRASSLEY: The press is attacking you for changing airport shoe removal policy. Does the $1b investment relate to the issue in the IG report?

KRISTI NOEM: I can't speak to that report because it's classified. There was flawed data included in it.

Noem: "Our ability to provide for a safe and successful World Cup is being hindered"

Who is making the US unsafe for visitors?

DURBIN: Is DHS required to follow federal court orders?

NOEM: Yes sir, and we do

DURBIN: How do you explain that your agency has repeatedly violated them, as your own administration has admitted?

NOEM: We follow them when they apply


DURBIN: I'm sorry

DURBIN: Do you understand that people protected by DACA have to go through a criminal background check?

NOEM: Yes

D: Why have you deported dozens of DACA holders who complied w/ background check

N: We follow all laws

D: Why did you deport them?

N: I don't know the details of that specific case

DURBIN: How does taking dad from child dying of cancer qualify as a violent crime?

NOEM: I don't know what you're speaking of

D: Ruben Torres 2 weeks ago buried his daughter. When he was arrested at Home Depot, he said, 'Please. My daughter is dying.' They deported him. Was he a violent criminal?

Trump's Iran War and the Article One crisis Congress's refusal to do its job is now the world's problem.

Check out today's latest at @atrupar.com featuring contributions from @snipy.bsky.social on the Article I crisis in Iran and Joe Dye's roadmap for today's primaries.

See, the thing is we haven’t been—not because past presidents were perfect angels or thrilled with Iran, but because they didn’t want to close the Strait of Hormuz, evacuate American civilians from the whole region, and set the world economy on fire.

"Is it so hard to say you were wrong?" -- under questioning from Durbin, Kristi Noem refuses to retract her statements about Alex Pretti and Renee Good being domestic terrorists, but throws "agents at the scene" under the bus for the fact she said it in the first place

Once again, a single cartoon tells more truth that the entire US Congress.

Thanks to Rick McKee for making our current situation easy to understand.

USLPA authorizes strike with season kickoff looming The USLPA has voted to authorize its bargaining committee to call a strike unless an agreement with the USL can be reached on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement.

USL players are more unified than ever in their fight for professional standards.

The players make the Championship league happen—and they’re ready to strike. It’s time for the USL to do the right thing and bargain for a fair contract now.

Very sorry about your bad luck.

I found a little “soot sprite” in the sea.
But its true identity is a school of juvenile catfish Plotosus japonicus!!

They may look beautiful and cute, but they have venomous spines at the base of their fins⚠️

I’m a broken record on this but Trump’s entire plan was clearly “kick them in the face, collect praise from Twitter, walk away.” From his perspective it’s always worked before. It seemingly never occurred to them that they may not be able to walk away.

My take away from watching Trump’s speech today is that he has absolutely no concern or care for the soldiers who are out fighting his war.

I'm over the god shit this administration is pushing. They are literally the least godly people around.

This is Cheryl Mills---an important member of the Clinton inner circle. She also served as Chief of Staff to Secretary Hillary Clinton and Counselor to the U.S. Department of State.

if I ever need a lawyer, somebody call this lady

Ted Lieu Is 💯% Correct.......

Isn’t it funny how the ‘Department of Defense’ is now the ‘Department of War,’ yet we still call companies ‘defense contractors’ because it sounds better for Congress to justify funding. Language shapes perception. Meanwhile, these companies are making billions supplying weapons of war. 🔄

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.

You Go,Jo Jo From Jerz......

Respectfully, they believe they're fighting a holy crusade against evil that will spawn the resurrection of their god so they probably aren't too concerned with rational ammunition levels

Let’s talk Iranian war.

You’ve probably seen a lot of hand-wringing over missile interceptor quantities. Are we running out? Can we fight for years?

As usual, the answer is somewhere in the middle.

Bottom line up front: interceptors are a finite resource. That’s a fact.

I was told each cpu would cache data and it would be an actual web.

Data “centers” is the only way companies could figure out how to make money off the internet.

BTW: They never solved for security.

Screenshot of Google AI definition of "Decentralized internet".

Large data centers aren't necessary. Decentralized internet can achieve the same goal - all of the info we submit to the web (posts, photos, account logins, etc.) is kept locally on personal servers. The problem is the companies would no longer own our data. Same for solar. Legislate for the people.
