Kristi Noem must go now.

It's long past time she steps down, and it doesn't excuse her from justice or accountability.

She believes she’s above the law while taking away fathers from children with cancer and mothers being shot in the face by her agents.

We demand answers.

President Trump didn't mention at all in his SOTU the most significant changes to health care he and Republicans in Congress have engineered: the biggest Medicaid cuts ever, expiration of enhanced ACA premium subsidies, and scaling back recommended vaccines.

My gosh, is there anything better than your kid, arms open, asking for just one more hug?

As you figure out how to tackle all that feels heavy or overwhelming today, I hope you’ll pour your energy into the little things, too.

One of the first things we were taught at Quantico was that there is never a moment in which you are not representing the Bureau; but, then again, we earned our place there, and weren’t granted its directorship as a sinecure for partisan malfeasance and a willingness to disregard the constitution.

#FinstadForCongress issues a fundraising appeal prompting the question "Who is the rubber stamp" ?

#BradFinstad issued a statement on November 3 2025 that #Trump has endorsed him for #Elections2026 promising to "work closely with President Trump" (aka BE the RUBBER STAMP)

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

I think we are going to have a Democratic-controlled Senate.

And all we will need for the leadership of that Democratic Senate to do is hold actual, real, impeachment trials.

As the Constitution requires.

Not the bullshit fake trials like the ones that the Senate held in 2020 and 2021...

There hasn’t been a moment in nearly 6 years that Heather hasn’t said, β€œYeah…you’re the guy that can do that.” Every step of the way she’s been the one with unrelenting faith and support. From shipping me $80 worth of medicines so I wouldn’t ever cough at a COVID Field Hospital as I left for NYC….

BREAKING
Feb 10 2026

In a Bipartisan rebuke over #SpeakerJohnson's statement that this would not happen, #Trump suffers major loss on #tariffs.
The House rejected a procedural motion that would’ve blocked lawmakers from bringing up resolutions disapproving of #TrumpTariffs

#RepFinstad backed Trump

Goldman to Lyons: "You said in your opening statement that references to ICE as 'the Gestapo' or 'secret police' encourages threats against ICE agents. The problem is you have it backwards. People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist."

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Bill Clinton testified under oath about Monica Lewinsky. He will now testify under oath about Epstein. There is no excuse for Donald Trump doing that too. Either you want to learn the truth about Epstein’s crimes & who else was involved or you don’t.

As it so often the case, the problem with the Trump administration is not the what but the how. They falsely accuse critics of objecting to the former, when they horror is the latter. Of course, the administration can enforce immigration laws. But it cannot do so in violation of the constitution.
