Today I learned Noem's full name is Kristi Lynn Arnold Noem

Her initials are KLAN

Fitting
I hope they didn’t think we forgot about impeaching Kristi Noem. 181 cosponsors and counting, 40k+ letters sent, and countless calls telling Representatives to get on board.

Let them know we aren’t slowing down. Send your letter here:

The real-world consequences of a trend I wrote about last fall...

“You can’t shoot protesters, but you can shoot insurrectionists," said @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social. "So if you lie that protesters are insurrectionists, you’re granting yourself new powers.”

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.
Foreign countries are bribing our president to sell out the American people.
 
Trump family businesses made $187 MILLION from this deal, and just months later he gave the UAE some of our most top-secret AI tech.
 
They are selling our national security to the highest bidder.

It's good to be the President.

You can sell out America's national security to enrich your family.

The White House under Trump is an ATM and America is for sale to the highest bidder.
A crypto company run by President Trump’s family members sold a large stake to investors tied to the United Arab Emirates just days before Trump’s inauguration, linking a Trump family business to a prominent member of the UAE’s governing elite.
Trump family crypto firm sold major stake to UAE investment firm
The investment, worth a reported $500 million, gave Emirati-backed investors a 49 percent stake in World Liberty Financial, a Trump crypto company.

Trump says he’s closing the Kennedy Center for two years for renovations, as if everyone can’t see he’s trying to hide yet another abject failure resulting from him seizing control.

Foreign governments buying $500 million in a Trump business is a bribe. They want influence in America's foreign policy and they know that money to Trump will buy it.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Exactly, Clinton handed Bush a balanced budget. Clinton had zero debt. Eight years later, we were trillions of dollars in debt because Bush gave corporations massive tax breaks while starting a 20-year war. Republicans always screw everything up.

Chris Murphy on Fox News Sunday: "What we want in these next two weeks is just to make ICE follow the law. No more of these roving patrols through the cities in which they're demanding that American citizens show their papers. That's what happened in Stalin's Russia."

Just returned home from the anti-ICE protest in Portland today. A 100% peaceful crowd that the Portland Police Department (PPD) estimated to be "in the thousands" marched past ICE's Portland HQ.

ICE, of course, responded with a barrage of tear gas and chemical rounds to suppress free speech.

A large protest took place in South Portland today from Elisabeth Caruthers Park to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.

One detail getting lost in the coverage of Don Lemon's arrest?

The church at the center of the case has ties to the Christian nationalist movement, including the “TheoBros," a loose network of mostly millennial, extremely online Christian nationalist pastors, podcasters, and shitposters.
