I've lost the clip of Noem getting grilled about her relationship with Corey Lewandowski and it just sort of amazes me that this affair mingled with open corruption has gone on for so long basically in plain view.

Like, Cal Cunningham lost his bid for NC Senate over an extramarital affair.

This is what weak and insecure people think confidence looks like: buffoonish bluster and swagger, like a 12-year-old bully. It doesn‘t inspire trust or security. It inspires grave concern for the lives of the people serving our nation whose fate is in the hands of these overcompensating oafs.

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee votes to subpoena Bondi over Epstein Files “The American people want answers on the Epstein files, and so do we,” Republican Rep. Nancy Mace, who introduced the motion to subpoena Bondi, said.

Absolutely ridiculous that Republicans (minus Paul, plus Fetterman) all lined up to defend Trump's ability to do an end-run around Congress and just start a war unilaterally. Cowards.

NO SHIT

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.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

Does anyone actually know why we…ya know…started a WAR IN IRAN?!

Jayapal to Noem: "I want to introduce you to just four of the US citizens unlawfully detained by ICE ... they're in this room with us."

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.

Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

BREAKING: Sweden’s central bank says all adults should hold a week’s worth of cash at home so they can buy food, medicine and other essentials in case of a war or other crisis, per Bloomberg.

Copy these numbers, keep them handy please. You could be the difference between life or death

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

Neguse demolishes Noem (2/2)

Statement from Jasmine Crockett.

Some results from last night:

-A pro-ICE NC Dem lawmaker lost her primary by nearly 50 points
-Dems flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Arkansas
-Dem turnout eclipsed GOP turnout in four newly-gerrymandered TX House seats

Trump's midterm reckoning has begun.

Jayapal: DHS is supposed to be protecting our residents. You have actually turned the United States government against its own residents. Yours is a case of failed leadership secretary, you need to resign, be fired, or be impeached.

Pete Hegseth suggested this morning that reporting on the 6 U.S. service members who were killed in Trump's Iran war is an example of the news media 'trying to make Trump look bad.'
