Kristi Noem claimed to the Senate yesterday that Corey Lewandowski has no role approving contracts at DHS.

But internal DHS records and interviews with current and former agency officials contradict her testimony:

They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.

Reminder that the FBI is still refusing to let local law enforcement in on the investigation into Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s deaths.

This is a cover up in plain sight.

Always enough money for another war in the Middle East but never enough money to help people here at home.

Tell Congress: Impeach DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Contact Congress today!

🚨 Kristi Noem just spent TWO DAYS dodging real accountability on Capitol Hill.

This isn't leadership. This is criminal negligence.

IMPEACH KRISTI NOEM NOW.

The American people are sick and tired of endless wars built on false promises and paid for with innocent lives.

Congress must immediately pass Khanna-Massie War Powers Resolution.

And, I would argue Everyone has heard of OpenAI and fewer have heard of Anthropic. (That’s my story)

But IF it’s true, thank Goodness.

I just don’t buy that Open AI found a way to avoid US surveillance or autonomous killing but Anthropic couldn’t. Something isn’t mathing.

I’ve been to Trump’s State of the Unions before and really don’t need to go again.

He uses his speeches to pillory his political enemies and spread lies – not to mention they're long and boring.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

Judge Cannon permanently blocks release of Jack Smith report The Trump-appointed judge said releasing the classified docs report now would β€œcontravene basic notions of fairness and justice.”

Cannon has fumbled the classified doc stealing case from the start.

The secrecy now is unsurprising but still appalling.

But no matter what, DOJ can't destroy the report, which is subject to FOIA litigation.
