BREAKING: Kristi Noem accused of lying under oath during a hearing today in front of Congress.

She and Trump officials refused to say whether the Proud Boys are extremists and couldn’t answer basic questions.

She abruptly left early, lying about why. Subscribe to support my work:

Sonia Sotomayor’s Remarks Silence Supreme Court

STFU BS BARBIE

The GOP just blocked extending the ACA subsidies - again.

Making people’s healthcare skyrocket while you control the White House and both chambers of Congress seems like a great move for the midterms.

DOOCY: Would Trump use this seized Venezuelan oil to try to help Americans with affordability here in the US?

LEAVITT: The US does intend to seize the oil

DOOCY: Is Operation Southern Spear about drugs or oil?

LEAVITT: The Trump administration is focused on doing many things in the Western Hemisphere

She's so smug

DOOCY: If Trump launches a bigger military campaign in the Caribbean, is he jeopardizing a Nobel Peace Prize?

LEAVITT: The president has proven over the past year that he's more than worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize. He's solved 9 conflicts

Q: What is Trump's plan to stop healthcare costs from soaring?

LEAVITT: You'll hear more from the president on that very soon

A band-aid on a festering hand wound Something's up with Trump's health and we should really find out what it is.

"Unsurprisingly, the White House is trying to lie its way through it. The only explanation offered so far for Trump's mangled hand is a laughable one about 'frequent handshaking.' And president now says it's 'treasonous' to report on his health."

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported?

Noem: We have not deported military veterans.

Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

👆🏽This troll account followed me overnight.

Let’s send it back to Xitter. 🗑️

Finnish FM Valtonen at UN: “Putin respects the military power of the United States but despises the American way of life: granting freedom to all individuals.

This is the way of life we Europeans — including the Ukrainians — defend. And it’s why we must stick together.”

GOLDMAN: If that officer's conduct was 'beneath the men and women of ICE,' why did you reinstate him?

NOEM: Sir, that investigation was competed. I can give you that investigation.

GOLDMAN: I wrote you two months ago. Why haven't I gotten it yet?

NOEM: I'm surprised you haven't gotten it

Ramirez to Noem: "You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee. You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership reported they were raped, beaten, and nearly died."

Remembering several pithy Asimov quotes, but this will have to serve:

"The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom."

Noem leaves the hearing and is heckled as she departs the room

Trump Melts Down In Bonkers Screed Claiming Media Reports That Question His Health Are 'Treasonous'

Totally normal, nothing to see here.

I'm told House Dems on the Appropriations Committee are holding a secret vote *this* afternoon on whether to reinstate Cuellar. If you've got a rep who is on the committee, a quick call would do some good.
