From The Wall Street Journal: "In recent days, Noem has made appeals to Republicans to write op-eds backing her, according to people familiar with the matter. In one such op-ed, titled โAmerica Needs Kristi Noemโs Leadership,โ published in Newsweek on Jan. 29, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry, an ally of Noemโs who attended her swearing-in ceremony, praised the secretaryโs role in helping states prepare for the recent winter storm.
The DHS spokeswoman said Noem didnโt ask for supporters to write op-eds."
this article is... genuinely wild. every section ends with some variation of "here are the facts of what happened. we called DHS for comment and their spokeswoman told a blatant lie."

In the blanket incident, Noem had to switch planes after a maintenance issue was discovered, but her blanket wasnโt moved to the second plane, according to the people familiar with the incident. The Coast Guard pilot was initially fired and told to take a commercial flight home when they reached their destination. They eventually reinstated the pilot because no one else was available to fly them home.
Holy cow, these people are not just deranged, they're big spoiled babies:
Kristi Noem reportedly fired a Coast Guard pilot for failing to move a blanket of Noem's from one plane to another amid mechanical difficulties.

I believe itโs one of the main reasons we canโt have a functioning government
Removing everyone implicated in the Epstein files is the key to taking our country back

They were tough, determined, disciplined, peaceful and kind. They remained united throughout the ICE occupation.
Thank you, Minneapolis, for leading the way.

Epstein files: AG Pam Bondi seemed to have Rep. Jayapal's DOJ database search history at hearing
Attorney General Pam Bondi at a House Judiciary Committee hearing seemed to have a printout of Rep. Jayapal's search history related to Epstein.
Genuinely think that if Bidenโs DoJ had been caught spying on Congress in this way over Jeffrey Epstein it would have ended in impeachment.
But given itโs the Trump operation, thereโs every chance it barely even becomes a story. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/11/e...

Snippet from โAmerica Wonโt Be Easily ForgivenโEven After Trump Is Gone,โ by Alaric DeArment in The New Republic.
What Americans, even those who voted for Harris, collectively face now is an obligation to demonstrate that we're grown-ups and not a nation of selfish brats. That will likely require criminal penalties for members and enablers of the Trump regime, drastic changes to how the country is run, a full reckoning with the societal dysfunctions that contributed to Trump's riseโe.g., the legacies of slavery and settler colonialism-and a length of time probably lasting decades.
We have an opportunity and a responsibility as voters to lead this country out of the MAGA darkness, beginning with the midterms this year. But thatโs not all; accountability must come if we are to move forward and begin to repair the damage. (1/3)
