Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Today’s strike: a $1.4M+ missile, launched by a sailor earning ~$60K, hit a $5k vessel. The target? A criminal gang the president brands as a terrorist organization — a label our own intelligence community does not support.

Please consider voting for Chica on @tsa’s Instagram story for no other reason then to make the DHS Secretary have to celebrate the same breed of dog she shot and killed.

Oh perfect, because if there’s one agency drowning in free time and resources, it’s the Secret Service. Protecting the President, VP, foreign heads of state, embassies, and running details wasn’t enough—so let’s tack on DC police duties too. Brilliant plan.

I’ve traveled with the President. There’s a whole team that stands up secure printers and sets up suites as offices, on secured floors. Using a hotel business center printer isn’t just sloppy—it’s malpractice by the advance and protocol teams.

ICE has new marked vehicles… and they’re sporting the same paint job as Trump’s personal jet. Subtle.

The problem with Border Patrol’s Darth Vader video isn’t just the awkward pop culture flex, it’s the dangerous simplicity of the message.

As of June 1, nearly 25% of the people arrested by ICE in the interior and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD. TLDR; DHS and Noem is lying

I worked at DHS. I’ve seen the job done with integrity. This? It’s cruelty as content — posted by the official DHS account. This administration is out of control, and it’s going to take years to undo the damage they’ve done to the mission, the agency, and the people we serve.

Kristi Noem taking credit for ending TSA’s shoe rule is like showing up at the ribbon-cutting and pretending you built the airport. The Biden admin invested in the tech—CT scanners, body imaging, self-screening lanes—that made this possible. Noem just showed up for the photo op.

The additional $80,000 that Noem received from the dark money group in 2023 represented a significant boost to her roughly $130,000 salary as South Dakota governor. By @justinelliott.bsky.social @josh-kaplan.bsky.social @amierjeski.bsky.social

In the middle of a heightened threat environment with Iran, DHS is gutting its intelligence office by 75%—and put a 22-year-old ex-grocer with no natsec experience in charge of countering extremism. What could possibly go wrong?

These morons are going to get people killed. They are asking for a detention standards waiver, that get this was established during Trump 1.0. Meaning, they don’t / can’t adhere to those standards. Half of all ICE deaths in custody this year have happened in Florida.

“Turning the Everglades into a taxpayer-funded detention camp for migrants is a grotesque mix of cruelty & political theater. You don’t solve immigration by disappearing ppl into tents guarded by gators.” @ajhoward121.bsky.social

any body who has followed joe biden knows the death of his son was and remains an incredibly painful memory and to frame it as anything else is just fuckin vile

This isn’t a spend plan—it’s a shopping spree. While Coasties fix ships with duct tape, Noem’s ordering her second Gulfstream like she’s replacing a stolen handbag. DHS under MAGA is less about homeland security, more about homeland celebrity.

Context on Biden’s schedule from someone who would travel with him: March 8–26, Biden did 9 states—PA, GA, NH, WI, MI, NV, AZ, TX, NC—mixing official events and multiple campaign stops as part of the post-SOTU travel blitz. Key Bridge Collapsed March 26. Fundraiser March 28.

The new Pope is an American from Chicago. This is the worst thing to happen to Italian cuisine since someone put pineapple on pizza. Somewhere in the Vatican kitchen, a chef is Googling how to make deep dish… and crying

UNDERWOOD: Do you believe that the US government has the authority to deport American citizens NOEM: No, and we are not deporting US citizens UNDERWOOD: Several American citizens have been deported

New from 404 Media: Mike Waltz has inadvertently revealed the obscure app the government is using to archive Signal messages. Made by a company called TeleMessage. Use of the Signal clone raises questions about how messages being secured, what classification of info www.404media.co/mike-waltz-a...

@darthbluesky.bsky.social pls bring back the photoshop image of departed trump officials for second term

Lots of wild things going on here, but one of the wilder ones is that USCG operates under DHS, which means one part of DHS raided another part of DHS to do this.

A lot of very distinguished people who swore an oath to preserve the Constitution are watching it get cut to pieces.

Crazy to me that the “stand for the anthem” crowd will scream about respect for the flag when a Black athlete kneels during the anthem, but won’t bat an eye when a Fox News weekend host turned Defense Secretary wears the flag like an accessory—which the U.S. Flag Code explicitly says not to do.

What happened to Mr. Lopez-Gomez is a textbook example of what goes wrong when state law enforcement oversteps its bounds on immigration enforcement—something that has long been a federal function, and highlights the dangers of 287(g) without proper training. floridaphoenix.com/2025/04/17/u...

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.

Not sure why the other site won’t let me share this, but here’s a quick thread debunking the Veep’s fearmongering this morning—with citations. The undocumented population isn’t 20M. Due process is the law. ICE can’t just deport millions overnight. And fentanyl? Mostly smuggled by U.S. citizens. 🧵:

This premise is fundamentally incorrect. The CHNV process was a legal pathway established to create safe, orderly, and humane migration for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. Individuals who arrived through this program were thoroughly vetted, had sponsors in the US

American-flagged vessels, aircraft, and spacecraft remain under U.S. jurisdiction, even in international waters, airspace, or outer space, where the laws of their country of registration continue to apply.

Trump's DHS is trying to distract from the fact that they have not delivered on the level of deportation numbers they promised. The fact is that DHS produces regular reports and makes data available in several tables and dashboards that shows these claims are false.

Yesterday, wasmy last day at @DHSgov and the Biden admin. Grateful to my incredible team—and so many others—for their partnership and dedication. Excited to start the next chapter leading public affairs at @washingtongas. Onward!

Statement from Secretary Mayorkas:

NEW: On December 9, DHS, through ERO, conducted the fourth large-frame charter removal flight in less than six months to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) of Chinese nationals with no lawful basis to remain in the United States. www.dhs.gov/news/2024/12...

Spurred by our strong economy under President Biden, this holiday season was one of the busiest travel periods in the history of the TSA. The top 10 busiest travel days ever recorded have all happened since Memorial Day.

TSA is prepared for the busiest Thanksgiving travel period on record and is projected to screen 18.3 million people from Tuesday, Nov. 26 to Monday, Dec. 2. The top 10 days of most passengers screened have all happened since Memorial Day.

DHS released a set of recommendations for the safe and secure development and deployment of AI in critical infrastructure, the “Roles and Responsibilities Framework for Artificial Intelligence in Critical Infrastructure”. dhs.gov/news/2024/11...

As Election Day approaches, the best way for you to stop the spread of misinformation is to build the skills to spot it. Test your instincts to see how you compare to other Post readers.
