Sen. Welch: Noem has got to go. She spends a lot of her time in self-promotion, and then when there is a serious situation involving the death of two citizens, she calls them domestic terrorists. No one has confidence that she's doing this job.

1. Good. Keep hanging her out to dry until she's gone.

2. As many of us keep reminding: Miller is her boss. We need to go after him even harder than we go after Noem.

Bovino is not enough. Steven Miller & Secretary Noem are complicit in the murder of a patriotic American citizen, who they disgustingly slandered as an “assassin” and a “domestic terrorist.” Resign, get fired, or face impeachment. They both need to go. Now.

ICE has been authorizing officers to forcibly enter homes without judicial warrants—a reversal of longstanding guidance to protect people's constitutional rights.

1/ This is terrifying to watch. Another warrantless search, another family brutalized by our government. But it's just one trauma inflicted on this family—many of which are US citizens—by the agents of the state, whose salaries we all pay

Just days after a group of Trump-aligned billionaires officially took over TikTok in the U.S., users reported their videos criticizing ICE and the shooting of Alex Pretti were suppressed or delayed.

The oligarchy is tightening its grip over even more of our media.
