Let me see if I get this straight: the 'f*ck your feelings' crowd went to war with Iran based on....feelings? Got it.

“HIGHEST standards”? DISGUSTING. A man CRAWLING through MOLD and FECES to shower and she spits out talking points like a robot. That’s not enforcement — that’s DEHUMANIZATION. McBATH told the TRUTH. Noem told a LIE and everyone could smell it. DISGRACEFUL!

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.

Here's the @balint.house.gov exchange I wrote up earlier. Thanks to @atrupar.com for clipping it.

As Jesus says in Two Corinthians, "Mercy is for pussies."

Jules Winnfield had kinder words for the motherfuckers he was about to whack in Pulp Fiction than Becca Balint has for Noem here (the full clip is worth a listen).

NOEM: Joe Biden failed North Carolina

ROSS: Listen to me!

“ICE aren’t actually fearful of their safety. What they’re fearful of is not being invited to baseball games or not being invited to the pub with their friends. Community exclusion – that’s what they’re fearful of.”

Joe Neguse and Kristi Noem, split screen.

Neguse is walking Noem through her false testimony yesterday that her $220M propaganda campaign was competitively bid.

He's reading right from no-bid justification. 4 companies were given the bid.

Neguse: Where is it HQed?
Noem: I don't know.
Neguse: We don't know either. We tried to find it.

The American people deserve an explanation before Trump sends their sons and daughters to fight overseas. Instead, we’ve gotten changing stories from a President who doesn’t even seem focused on the war he just started.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

Image titled: Republican Jesus with Jesus holding a slate with the words: Thou Shalt Not Care and these words below: Then Jesus said unto the sick "You better have insurance." Then Jesus said unto the stranger "Are you here legally?" Then Jesus said unto the hungry "My taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes." Then Jesus said unto the poor "This is your own fault."

This is what Lizzy believes. #TheView

Thou Shalt Not Care

I am back in D.C. to hear from cruel Kristi Noem on why she is complicit in the chaos happening at DHS, vote on a War Powers Resolution to rein Donald Trump in, and vote against a DHS funding bill that does nothing to address the reckless actions we’re seeing from ICE.

The work continues.

In Oversight hearing on MN, @congressmin.bsky.social says he's going to introduce a Recoup Act, to pay back money that local police have to expend because of ICE goon behavior.

Hands Off NYC Hands Off NYC brings together a broad coalition to protect against, preempt, and prepare for federal incursion in New York City.

50% of Americans now support abolishing ICE. While the other 50% catches up, we’ll be organizing to protect our neighbors. Join us:

I know Nancy Mace said some stupid anti-trans shit to Tim Walz in a hearing today.

Do yourself a favor and don't bother watching it or sharing it.

She is a troubled person who uses hateful words in an attempt to make herself the center of attention, which is all she cares about.

The hot civil war against Minnesota continues in Congress. GOP is going WILD with broad sweeping accusations. GOP questioning conflating and stretching the details to smear. GOP debunked.

Tim Walz would have made one hell of a VP. Walz and Ellison are outstanding representatives of the US people

Tim Walz is the governor of a state that ranks near the top of the country in almost all positive metrics. Including one of the lowest rates of medicaid "fraud". And he's making these red state GOP congress people look stupid.

Walz to Nancy Mace: "Minnesota ranks at the top. Where do South Carolina children rank on healthiness? I'm not here to be your prop."

Raskin to Noem: ‘To run what’s left of Homeland Security’s ruined terrorism prevention office, you actually installed a 22-year-old intern, whose chief listed qualification for the job was that he participated in a Model UN Club his junior year in college’

LOFGREN: Are agents trained to break the windows of people whose cars they encounter and drag them out forcefully without asking questions?

KRISTI NOEM: Our officers are all trained for situation where they are interacting with the public and detaining someone

Raskin is HEATED at Noem

"You told a lie about them. Do you regret that?" -- Raskin grills Noem about her comments that Good and Pretti were domestic terrorists

RASKIN: Is it lawful for federal agents to shoot and kill a person for engaging in peaceful protest?

NOEM: No

RASKIN: Is it lawful for agents to shoot someone just for driving away from them?

NOEM: No


RASKIN: Well, I'm glad you got the law right

Randall on Mississippi: "One of the perpetrators of that fraud? Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre, who received $1.1m from the govt for speeches he never made. Congressional Republicans' response was to invite Favre to testify about how we should strengthen oversight of federal welfare programs."

They must have “an arrangement.” Nonetheless, the taxpayers shouldn’t have to be sponsoring it.

*Brutal but absolutely fair and accurate
*Gives a new meaning to "special government employee"
*Yeah, thats her husband listening to all of this

Raskin tears Kristi Noem a new one: "Apparently when your blankie was left on one of the govt jets and not transported to the new one, your special govt employee, Corey Lewandowski, chivalrously stepped forward to fight the pilot -- mid air!"

Only in the sense that the people who launched it without a plan or objective all get pretty defensive when criticized.
