Trump fires Homeland Security Secretary Noem after mounting criticism over her leadership Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin says he has no idea how quickly his nomination to replace Kristi Noem at the Department of Homeland Security will move.

We’re glad that Kristi Noem has been fired and she should face real accountability for DHS’ rampant violence.

But Noem’s firing doesn’t suddenly solve the crisis at DHS. Swapping personnel without changing course is not accountability β€” it’s a spin tactic. What we really need is structural change.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

The real story is that foreign govts try to "interfere" all the time. In 2020 and 2024 we had mechanisms to catch them, call them out, & mitigate damage. Now, those mechanims are gone & the Trump admin would prefer to exploit "foreign interference" to justify a federal take-over of elections.

Nurul Amin Shah Alam was a blind refugee, unable to speak English. DHS improperly detained-but finally released him

Instead of bringing him home, they dropped him miles away-without regard to his disability or notifying his family

Unable to find his way, he died on the streets of Buffalo

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

One would think that this would merit an emergency convening of all Blue state governors, Attorneys generals and Congressional representatives. It's a declaration of war on one state which means they'll do it to others too.

Trump Is Considering More Iran Strikes. No One Knows Precisely Why. As has become a pattern, the use of force isn’t part of a coherent plan.

β€œAt this point, the shock would be if Trump doesn’t pull the trigger and pretty soon. He’s sent about half the currently available ships to the region…And the president and his team of β€˜warriors’ are overdue for a dopamine hit of β€˜lethality…’”
