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."

I haven't said anything about this before, bc in the grand scheme of horrors this only rates as an inconvenience, but since others are experiencing it:

Just three days after CBP arrested me for filming them outside Broadview on 9/27, my TSA Pre & Global Entry were suspendedβ€”and so were my wife's.

FBI investigating Mississippi Prison Death Involving Guards Melvin Cancer was killed by guards beating him inside the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility, a new report shows.

When Mississippi officials informed Mary Anderson that her uncle had died in prison, they told her he had suffered a heart attack.

But now the FBI is investigating the 2025 death of Melvin Cancer at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility as a homicide, and the guards as alleged perpetrators.

Kamlager-Dove: During you tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?

Noem: I am shocked we are peddling tabloid garbage.

β€œAt the end of the day, she didn’t sound any better than some of these ultra-conservative people who were demeaning Black and Brown folk on a regular basis,” said Rev. Rodney Sadler, a Bible scholar and longtime community activist in Charlotte. β€œIt felt like a betrayal of the utmost.”

Cunningham’s comments proved so problematic for Sadler that he said he realized that she was β€œno longer worthy of being our representative” and he had to run against her. β€œIt drove me to a point of saying, β€˜She needs to go, and she needs to go now,’” the 58-year-old pastor, who works at Charlotte’s Union Presbyterian Seminary, told Bolts.

this guy challenged a sitting Democratic lawmaker in yesterday's primary, angered by her pro-ICE vote, and he ousted her 70% to 22%.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

How is Kristi Noem paying $270 million for these luxury jets, one of them including a bedroom, full kitchen, and bar? Using YOUR tax dollars.

Instead of dodging questions, Kristi Noem should give the American people an explanation immediately as to why she’s wasting your money.

WATCH β€” @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.

She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.

Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.

Trump’s War with Iran | The Plot To Rig The 2026 Midterms
YouTube video by Democracy Docket Trump’s War with Iran | The Plot To Rig The 2026 Midterms

NEW EPISODE: The midterms are the greatest threat to Trump's power -- and he knows it. In this episode, I expose Trump's three-pronged plot to protect his majority: False claims of foreign election interference, DOJ's push for voter data, and a leaked executive order. www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-SE...

Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power

I feel like we typically see these sorts of completely outraged opinions from federal judges a couple times a year across the whole country, maybe a little more often in last few years. Now, in cases stemming from Trump's immigration crackdown, judges are ringing the alarm bell several times a week.

At some point we will have a conversation about the bogus claim that running a financially successful company equips you for leadership more broadly.

ICE heavily relies on agencies of all kinds to fuel the deportation machine, but over the past decade they've increasingly relied on the police-to-deportation pipeline to do so. Read the growing list of reported cases of law enforcement collusion with #ICE in NY state: bit.ly/NY-ICEwatch

NOEM: Our officers conduct operations every day-

B: Is he still on the job carrying a gun?

N: I dunno

B: Would you agree he shouldn't be?

N: I'll get back to you

B: I think Americans would find it absolutely terrifying if he is

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department β€œPlease do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

HERE IS THE PLAN
March 3, 2026
We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

No. There was no plan for evacuating Americans. There was no warning to Americans. They launched a war, and then informed Americans they should try to escape on commercial means which were not possible. Sadistic disregard for U.S. citizens while bombing Iranian school children.

I just viewed the Epstein files. A few things are clear:

1. Trump’s name is all over them.
2. The DOJ is breaking the law and denying the victims justice.
3. A single 3-hour viewing was not enough time. I will be back.

If you have questions, let me know in the comments.
