DHS Secretary Kristi Noem out, Trump says She will be replaced by Sen. Markwayne Mullin, Trump said Thursday.

Should've been fired a long, long time ago.

Next, the Trump Administration needs to work with Congress to reform DHS and prevent more Americans from being executed by their own government. The bare minimum.

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best

Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

This took a ton of work. Hope you'll check it out. @shaw.al @bxroberts.org

NEW: When asked if top aide Corey Lewandowski has “a role in approving contracts,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem replied, “No.”

But internal DHS records contradict her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

STOP. LISTEN. Seriously.

Maybe we’ve been going about this all wrong. Maybe this has to be dismantled from the bottom up. This rank corruption.

There needs to be a serious IMPEACH NOEM demand. These hearings have made any other choice complicity.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

10 years ago, Bernie Sanders warned America of the unintended consequences that could emerge from a regime change war with Iran. Watch.

for those of you who werent adults during iraq, its hard to overstate how much the media loves war porn. they salivate over pentagon spin briefings. they love stories about all the bombs and how supposedly infallible they are. they love the notion of the commander in chief, in the situation room etc

Historically, these are TERRIBLE polling numbers for day 1 of a major US use of force, particularly against a well known and disliked adversary. Usually it only goes down from the start

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

The Trump tariffs are the highest tax increase on the American public since World War II

Yes, you read that correctly

What's worse, he did it while taking health insurance away from 20 million people

And giving $75 billion to ICE so they can hunt US citizens

#TrumpTariffChaos

Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room

“Waiting” that is. Eating in line with a smile also fine

Hard Agree. Flying to LAX next week and eating in line longer with a smile is literally the least any of us can do in solidarity against overfunded, intentionally out of control ICE.

pretty stunning chart

This is what ICE does every day. Hunt little kids who are here legally. They get sent to a place called the “baby jail” in Texas. Very little of it ends up on video like this. But it’s routine. And disgusting.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

Embarrassing and long-term costly

2025 Corruption Perceptions Index - Explore United States’s results How does United States measure up in the 2025 Corruption Perceptions Index?

The USA has just dropped to 28th, its lowest position ever, in Transparency International's corruption index.

With a score of just 64 out of a possible 100, the USA is seen as much more corrupt than nearly all other developed countries.

This is Trump's America

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is under fire for issuing misleading and incendiary information that claimed immigration agents killed an armed Minnesota protestor Saturday because he wanted to "massacre" them. But that language was dictated to Noem and her department by the man most responsible for the controversial operation: Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff and top Trump adviser, four sources tell Axios. Why it matters: The episode illustrates the sheer power of Miller, Trump's close and longest-serving political adviser whose dominion in the White House far exceeds his title. His influence extends to de facto oversight of Noem, though she's a Cabinet secretary who technically outranks him. "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen," Noem told a person who relayed her remarks to Axios.

Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.

It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.
