Prosecute Noem, Bove, the whole lot of them. This is a corrupt, criminal, authoritarian regime.
Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.
📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.
Prosecute her and everyone involved.

Now, remind me again that non-Americans should mind their own business.

An impeachable offense
New Justice Department filings reveal that it was Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem who chose to defy a federal court order by transferring more than 100 Venezuelan men into Salvadoran custody to be imprisoned.

Faux News = Dept of Propaganda
Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."

Native Americans condemn Pentagon move to preserve Wounded Knee medals
The National Congress of American Indians strongly condemned on Saturday U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to allow soldiers to keep medals awarded for their roles at the 1890 Battle of Wounded Knee, an event which many historians consider a massacre.

Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown. I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city. I will do everything in my power to protect the people in our state.
