Schumer: "Iran doesn't have Tomahawk missiles, Donald Trump! The claim is beyond asinine. He says whatever pops into his head no matter what the truth is. And we all know he lies, but on something as formidable as this, it's appalling."

Democrats Launch Probe Into 8-Day-Old Company Behind Kristi Noem’s Ads

The total of $220 million in taxpayer money awarded to make a slate of anti-immigrant ads is likely the straw that broke the camel’s back on Noem’s tenure at the Department of Homeland Security.
