Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

Inasmuch as Kristi doesn't know what habeas corpus is or what the Fourth Amendment says, I have little confidence she knows anything about

18 USC Β§1001
or
18 USC Β§1621,

but I hope she finds out... the hard way.

$1 billion PER DAY for Trump's War with Iran.

A war that he still can't explain why we're fighting or how it ends.

Meanwhile, the largest cuts to Medicaid and SNAP in history.

It's a widespread misconception that, absent aggressive ICE actions, "bad guys" are "released to the streets." Normal policing goes after "bad guys." For decades now, jails, depts of corrections & Bureau of Prisons have put "ICE holds" on the non-citizens. ICE comes & gets them & deports them. πŸ’₯
