Once you start torpedoing ships in international waters, that are not involved in conflict, you cease to have a limited theater of war. You have taken a war global. Every single US asset and citizen, worldwide, just became a target. Catastrophically reckless. (🎥 Department of War)

Just killing people - indiscriminately.

The Sri Lankan navy says it has recovered 87 bodies from the water so far.

Neguse demolishes Noem (2/2)

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

🇬🇧 Well done. Look who you sided with, you ignorant bastards.

One bag of religious nut jobs takes on an equally weighted bag of religious nut jobs.

Jayapal to Noem: "None of these four US citizens were charged with a crime, none had their citizenship questioned, and all were lawfully exercising their First Amendment rights. Do you have anything you want to say to them?"

Ansari: "The DOJ was caught red handed withholding explosive and credible FBI witness interviews of a woman who accused Donald Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was a minor. Shouldn't we hold hearings on that? Shouldn't Pam Bondi be here, forced to testify about why she's violating the law?"

BREAKING: DOJ doesn’t want ethical standards to apply to their employees Notably, after many of their lawyers have been taken to task by Judges across the country for their behavior - TN www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/06.05.25

The Justice Department has proposed a regulation seeking to authorize Attorney General Pam Bondi to suspend state bar ethics investigations into current and former DOJ lawyers—a step outside attorneys quickly criticized as an illegal intervention into state-run processes.

Rep. Raskin to Noem: Your agency is charged with protecting the homeland. Yet you redeployed thousands of people responsible for tracking terrorism to go work on your mass immigration roundup. You reassigned to the agents working on a key national security probe into Iran's terror financing.

Rep. Raskin to Noem: You budgeted an astonishing $220 million so you can star in self-promoting photo shoots. You're living rent-free in the official waterfront residence reserved for the commandant of the US Coast Guard. You spent $172 million to buy 2 luxury jets for your travel.

"There was years of letters that Mayorkas didn't respond to" -- Kristi Noem blames the Biden administration for the fact she hasn't responded to correspondence from Democratic members

COHEN: Have you hired any January 6 offenders? NOEM: Not that I know of

Rep. Lofgren to Noem: You know there's an old adage that states there are no bad dogs, just bad owners. One of the questions we have is, are there bad agencies or just bad leadership?

Rep. Cohen: Do you have any people that you've hired who were January 6th offenders? Noem: I'll get back to you on that

"You're proud of the fact that you called them 'domestic terrorists?'" Rep. Jamie Raskin questions DHS Sec'y Noem on her labeling of Renee Good and Alex Pretti as domestic terrorists shortly after they were killed by feds. WATCH LIVE: www.youtube.com/live/Y0r1brz...

The administration is setting up the idea that anyone opposing Trump is engaging in "domestic terrorism," as Trump's EO set out. (This is a way to get around the specific definition of "domestic terrorist" in U.S. law.)

SWALWELL: Has anyone been fired? NOEM: There could be SWAWELL: I'm not asking about 'could be'

NOEM: I hope Miguel Lopez got the $2,600 SWALWELL: Do you think that makes up for not being with his family? It was a nonviolent crime NOEM: Now that he's been deported he will never get the chance to come back S: The president is also a convicted felon if you want to talk about criminal records

Rep. Raskin: Were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: There's ongoing investigations— Raskin: But you didn't wait for the investigation, did you? You proclaimed that they were domestic terrorists at the time.

LIEU: Did Liam Ramos commit a crime? NOEM: He did not commit a crime. His father abandoned him LIEU: I believe you're not telling the truth. School officials said there were people saying they could take care of Liam, and a federal judge rejected your claims

LIEU: Will you commit to stopping ICE from doing operations at or near school bus stops, school drop off locations, and school campuses? NOEM: Our ICE officers do targeted enforcement operations

"You told a lie about them. Do you regret that?" -- Raskin grills Noem about her comments that Good and Pretti were domestic terrorists

Alex Pretti and Renée Good were murdered by federal agents. Soon after, Secretary Noem labeled them 'domestic terrorists.’ I gave her the chance to recant and apologize for the pain she's caused their families with these outrageous lies. She refused.

Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists? Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy. Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists? Noem: My condolences to their families Raskin: You lied about them.

I never bought mum gifts, she was ungrateful. There wasn't a perfume she didn't own or an object she liked. I spent every xmas taking things back for with the receipt. Google nest devices, Christian Doir, restaurant reservations ect When she died I found this, given on mother's day when I was 8.

An administration of lawless violence at home and abroad

Ooooh yes

These people are dangerous.

I feel sick to stomach. Unfortunately,the UK is repeating this bollocks too. I don't know why 😢

Up is down. Black is white

They're really going with this huh?

Look at this bitch. Anyone that buys into her shit or sides with Donald Trump 'on any level' is a threat. Imprison Kristi Noem.

I can't wait for there to be zero consequences to this. Seriously, every reasonable person understands the vital role a free press plays as a democracy safeguard. But there has to start being serious consequences when organisations actively undermine the government and trust in democracy itself.

Turns out they totally made it up

Quite literally fake news.

By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0. Republicans are still stuck at zero. Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.

You can do it Louisiana. Pull together.
