TENSE moment during today's House @JudiciaryGOP hearing.
"Listen to me. I asked you direct question."
Rep. Deborah Ross questions Sec. Noem on disaster relief funding for North Carolina.
@RepBenCline then asks Noem: " Would it help you do your job to actually have an appropriations bill passed by this House?"
Noem: "Well, yes."
While claiming to go after "the worst of the worst," Secretary Noem is detaining Rodney Taylor, a Georgia barber who arrived legally in the U.S. at two years old on a medical visa to address his disabilities. He is now facing abhorrent conditions in ICE custody.
@RepLucyMcBath called out Noem for her ignorance about the horrifying conditions in her detention centers.
She is joined today by Rodney’s wife and daughters.
Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse dog walks DHS Secretary Kristi Noem during her Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on an incident with a judge in Rhode Island.
Sooooo good!

Schiff: Do you have any concern about misleading the whole country? Don't you think in the immediate aftermath of a shooting that you should provide only vetted information?
Noem: I work every day to get factual information to the American people.
Schiff: You did not on the day that Alex Pretti was shot. You did not on the day Renee Good was shot.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) pressed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over her statements linking Alex Pretti and Renee Good, two Americans who were shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis in January, to "domestic terrorism" soon after their deaths.
"You told a lie about them. You said that they were domestic terrorists. Do you regret that?" Raskin, the House Judiciary Committee’s ranking member, asked during a hearing on Wednesday.
"I offer my condolences to those families," Noem said.
Senator Blumenthal asks Kristi Noem if she has met any of the American Citizens that were detained by her Department and she didn’t answer so he brought up three to speak in front of her about what they went through and she just played stupid and honestly didn’t give a crap!
Sen. John Kennedy and Sec.Kristi Noem got into a heated exchange after Noem denied saying she did everything "at the direction of the president and [WH Deputy Chief of Staff] Stephen [Miller]" after of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. https://t.co/gx6rysWw0Q
Kristi Noem will be remembered as the worst DHS Secretary in American history. She has lost all credibility with the American people. She needs to be impeached.
.@RepBeccaB reminds Secretary Noem that her saying DHS is following all court orders does not make it true.
Just last month, lawyers for the Administration were forced to admit that Noem had violated immigration court orders more than 50 times in 10 weeks — and that was just in one state.
It is RARE to see an exchange like this between a cabinet secretary and a senator of their own party.
GOP @SenJohnKennedy went in on Sec. Noem for the $220 million media budget for DHS ads “featuring [Noem] prominently” and raising her own profile, as Kennedy put it
Republican Senator Thom Tillis to Kristi Noem:
“We're an exceptional nation, and one of the reasons we're exceptional is because we expect exceptional leadership, and you've demonstrated anything but that…And that is why I've called for your resignation.
🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Secretary Kristi Noem admits her former assistant and her husband were awarded a 143 million dollar no bid contract from the goverment. Pure corruption being admitted to in a congressional hearing. 🚨
A 22-year-old in Wisconsin died after a severe asthma attack because he couldn't afford the price of his inhaler, which was no longer covered by his insurance.

This young man was murdered by the for-profit healthcare system in the United States.
Vance is saying that even if no black people were involved in the crash, the stress of having to work with black people makes the white employees blameless
If Biden hired so many unqualified FAA employees, as Trump says — then why were there ZERO commercial air accidents in the US during Biden’s administration?
