Secretary Noem acknowledges ICE and CBP can't shoot Americans for peacefully protesting, videotaping ICE officers or lawfully carrying a firearm, and yet her agents are routinely violating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. There is a total leadership breakdown requiring immediate change.

Line graph time series of global atmospheric methane abundance for each month from 1984 to 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend in additional to a seasonal cycle and decadal variability. November 2025 methane abundance is currently 1946 ppb.

🚨 Methane is at about record high levels in its latest update for November 2025 (1945.85 ppb).

November 2024's global methane abundance was 1940.0 ppb.

Note there is a seasonal cycle. Data available from gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends_...

“You’re a U.S. senator!”

Bernie stops Noem’s replacement from literally trying to fight someone👇🏽

This should go great

Disqualifying answer.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.

The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.

It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

I’m glad NPR included skeptical voices - because de-extinction is a dangerous fantasy - but we’ve seen this before. Colossal dangles a story/access, journalists take it and say other researchers have criticisms, and nothing changes save for an update to the I Can’t Believe It’s Not Mammoth! timeline

The competition for the dumbest member of the United States Senate has just heated up with the elimination of one its strongest contestants!!

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Alex Pretti and Renée Good were murdered by federal agents. Soon after, Secretary Noem labeled them 'domestic terrorists.’

I gave her the chance to recant and apologize for the pain she's caused their families with these outrageous lies. She refused.

Nudge nudge wink wink!

Say no more!

Pathetic. Sheehy needed to sit his ass down & stay out it. He is NOT law enforcement. Hope the Vet presses charges & sues.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

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
