Kristi Noem had Coast Guard pilot fired for leaving her blanket on a plane: report New details are emerging about turmoil inside the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the leadership of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem — and her rumored paramour, Corey Lewandowski.The Wall Street Journal reported

In other words, long enough that habeas petitions can be filed on their behalf in Minnesota before they're whisked off to an immigration detention facility somewhere in the Fifth Circuit (where, under that court's current law, they wouldn't be eligible for a bond hearing).

One of the things I miss from Chicago.

When's RFK Jr. going back to being a wallet?

I said a year ago Trump was not choosing political martyrs wisely and not accounting for what tools defendants are accorded. I want to triple down on that. I think we're about to see revenge of the defendants--starting with Marimar Martinez. Marimar is a Montessori teacher. And holy hell, a hero!

<The "Events Toolkit" instructs partners to praise orders issued by Trump, including “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History, resulting in “removal of signs and exhibits related to slavery at multiple national parks.”> threadreaderapp.com/thread/20215... threadreaderapp.com/thread/20215...

🤬🤬🤬

<Last year, the US created 181,000 jobs, on net. That's basically nothing relative to total jobs of 158 million. Such a low year-over-year change in jobs is very rare outside of a recession. We are not in a recession, making it even more notable.> threadreaderapp.com/thread/20215...

Cohen to Bondi: "You tried to investigate Ms. Good's widow and you tried to investigate Mr. Pretti. They were executed like Kristi Noem executed her dog."

<Sen Elissa Slotkin (D-MI): “Today, it was a grand jury of anonymous American citizens who upheld the rule of law and determined this case should not proceed. Hopefully, this ends this politicized investigation for good”> threadreaderapp.com/thread/20214...

Your Honor we move to dismiss the indictment against my client on account of the Dow is over 50,000

Raskin: "I want the whole country to look at this. This is the attorney general of the US whose job is law enforcement. We've never had a witness who has misunderstood our rules and been unable to conform his or her conduct to our rules before. Excuse me."

I’ve watched a lot of congressional hearings over the last 40 years. This performance by Bondi is the single most unprofessional, non-responsive, reprehensible and obnoxious I have ever seen from any witness who has testified before any committee of either chamber.

what is with these people and dogs?
