To LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem:

🎶Party balloons in the air tonight
Shoot them with lasers and shut down El Paso flights 🎶
Q: Can you confirm that CBP actually hit a party balloon it thought was a drone with a laser? And why wasn't that coordinated with the FAA?

KRISTI NOEM: You know, this was a joint agency task force, um, mission that was undertaken. And um, we're continuing to work on communication

Breaking WSJ:

The highly classified whistleblower complaint against Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard is related to a conversation intercepted last spring in which two foreign nationals discussed Jared Kushner, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

ICE/DHS are playground bullies getting to enact their cruel desires, this time with weapons, chemicals, and the consent of the Trump Admin and all his Republican defenders.

I'll add Dem Cuellar to this list as he alone among Dems voted to keep funding this violence and sickness.

We must never normalize these ongoing attacks by DHS agents on the people they supposedly protect.

Trump, Vance, Miller, & Noem have created a culture of impunity that has led to rampant abuse and killings.

Not one more dime for this lawlessness.

Lewandowski *is* Kristi Noem's discarded blanket
BREAKING: Kristi Noem and Lewandowski , both married, are in a relationship.

The WSJ reports that they do little to hide their relationship inside the department.

In one incident, Lewandowski reportedly fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem’s blanket was left behind on a plane.

Jamie Raskin not only graduated from Harvard with his JD, (editor of the Harvard Law Review)...he is so dedicated to our country and our constitution that this man BURIED HIS SON, came into work the next day to experience an insurrection, and started writing articles of impeachment THAT DAY. 1/
“You’re not even a lawyer,” Pam Bondi yells at Jamie Raskin, who graduated from Harvard Law School, has written several books about the legal system, and has taught constitutional law for more than 25 years.

Pam Bondi refused to apologize to Epstein survivors standing right behind her. Instead, she laughed and called it “theatrics.”

She released Epstein Files that exposed survivors’ identities—and instead protected pedophiles.
If not an apology, we will force answers & accountability.

Rep. Raskin to Pam Bondi: "You've not showing a lot of interest in the victims…As Attorney General, you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims. That will be your legacy…You're running a massive Epstein cover-up right out of the DOJ."

All flights to and from El Paso, Texas, have been grounded for ten days for “Special Security Reasons”, the Federal Aviation Administration announced.

Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.
