Kristi Noem must go! Kristi Noem was an unqualified choice to lead the Department of Homeland Security, and her time in office has confirmed it. As DHS Secretary, Noem has lied to Congress, denied well-documented…

American citizens detained by ICE: 170+

Deaths in ICE custody: 38 and counting.

Children abducted by ICE: 3,800+

Increases in ICE budget: $75 BILLION

Apologies from Kristi Noem: 0

Impeach Noem NOW.

Senate war powers vote fails 52-48.

Funny how they always have just enough votes to stop these things!

“The vote fell mostly along party lines, though Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky voted in favor and Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania voted against.”

Too bad there's no opposition party that could relentlessly press the case against war.

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone]

Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

Kristi Noem needs to go.

Americans are exhausted by endless wars built on lies and paid for with American and foreign lives.

I'm urging my colleagues to vote YES on the War Powers Resolution authored by Khanna-Massie and stop Trump's illegal war in Iran.

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

NOT JUST THIS:

Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.

This could be a major night in NC.

The most absurd sentence is the following one: "This isn't a war. We haven't declared war." Something isn't happening if you don't say it out loud.

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

Abolish ICE has a +11 approval — which means it is *32 points* more popular than Donald Trump

Ask yourself: does corporate media portray that accurately?

"Is the U.S. at war with Iran?
• The President announced major combat operations against Iran with clear achievable goals:
-Destroy their missiles, and raze their missile industry to the ground.
-Annihilate their Navy."

“Kat isn't a millionaire. She doesn't take PAC money. She can't even afford health insurance herself. How can she possibly relate to normal, hardworking corporations like you and me?"

RIP to hundreds of Iranians and one American vacation

Trump’s war on Iran, and Venezuela, makes a total mockery of the constitution. In a sane and stable country he would immediately be impeached and locked up.

This vapid soulless sellout will probably add a comma after the word no and keep selling these shits

Corporate politicians gonna do what corporate politicians do.

NBC: If there is a war powers vote Senator, will you be a yes?

MARK KELLY: Well, I'm gonna have to take a close look at it.

maga are cattle btw. totally owned by parasitic capital. they said they were voting for trump for no new wars, releasing the epstein files, & getting prices down. not one of those things happened & they still love him. barely sentient peasant brained losers.

Do Newspapers Matter? Short-Run and Long-Run Evidence From the Closure of The Cincinnati Post The Cincinnati Post published its last edition on New Year's Eve 2007, leaving the Cincinnati Enquirer as the only daily newspaper in the market. The next year, fewer candidates ran...

The death of newspapers harms democratic participation. Research on the closure of the Cincinnati Post found that voter turnout fell—and stayed down years later—after the paper shut its doors.

israel is so universally reviled that if the western political class doesn’t decouple from it, it will cause the total collapse of western liberal “democracy,” and what comes after will be barbarism. some may say we’re already there with no socialist alternative.

A good time to remind you to support independent media. bit.ly/4qmEiFz
