[Congressman Robert Garcia @RepRobertGarcia]

DHS is spreading lies about the very people they're supposed to protect. They detained U.S. citizens—none of whom "assaulted or obstructed" officers, but instead, were THEMSELVES assaulted.

Noem and DHS are twisting the story to justify their horrific actions. It's despicable.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

THANEDAR: It is a fact that you ignored federal court orders in March and in May of this year. Do you plan on ignoring federal orders?

NOEM: We always comply with all federal court orders

THANEDAR: I'm sick of your lies

[Sarah Balter @baltertweets]

they were like 'yep. she deserved that.' Oh yes she did.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem loudly heckled by angry voters on her way out of a humiliating House hearing, during which she was caught lying about deporting a U.S. combat veteran.

A brutal public rejection.

[CSPAN @cspan]

.@repdeliaramirez to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem: “Bottom line: you lie with impunity, you reject checks and balances, and you ignore Congress and the courts. Your options are limited: either you're going to resign, Trump’s going to fire you, or you will be impeached."

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨BREAKING: Rep. Dan Goldman just OBLITERATED Secretary Noem on live TV when he walked her right in a trap:

if immigrants with active asylum cases are here legally - isn’t deporting them is AGAINST the law? She couldn’t answer.

See you at your 2029 criminal trial, Kristi.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

MAGAZINER: How many veterans have you deported?

NOEM: We haven't deported veterans

MAGAZINER: We are now joined on Zoom by a combat veteran you deported to Korea

[Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez @repdeliaramirez]

.@Sec_Noem, your options are limited:

You either resign;
Your supreme leader fires you;
Or you will be impeached.

Today, I took the first step towards your impeachment, and called on the Judiciary Committee to open an investigation into your lawlessness.

There was a strange light in the sky over the marmara sea, visible from the European side of Istanbul. I saw it appear like a red star that was way too big and bright. It disappeared one. I took this when it reappeared. It disappears again, as you see. Cloudless sky. #Istanbul

Israeli forces attacked Doctors Without Borders workers—who were all wearing marked medical vests.

They killed Omar, a 42-year-old occupational therapist and sole provider for his family.

He was killed at a bus stop, on his way to take care of other people bombed by Israel.

[Sarah Balter @baltertweets]

@DHSgov He was doing his job. There is NO EXCUSE for the way you treated him. For the WAY YOU ARE TERRORIZING THIS NATION. FOR USING THE MILITARY ON HOME SOIL. SHAME ON YOU, YOU CREEPS!

Live from #Baku at #COP29: In an overtime meeting on the post 2025 climate finance, the #EU expressed support for a text that the most vulnerable countries considered as unfair and not addressing their most pressing needs. #EU solidarity and leadership in motion. Wake up the EU‼️

Sherry Rehman says Pakistan is so hot, people are 'dropping like flies'. Is anything being done? We get to the point

[Ahmed Alnaouq @AlnaouqA]

Just to be clear: Israel did NOT win today. But there is so much more that the ICJ could have done. We needed to hear the word CEASEFIRE.

Given all the horrific situation and the genocidal acts inflicted on the Palestinians, which the ICJ is well aware of, we expected nothing less than a call for an IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE.

[Omar Baddar عمر بدّار @OmarBaddar]

Reminder to @JoeBiden & @SecBlinken: Every shipment of weapons you send to Israel as of now will be sent to a country that the ICJ, upon reviewing evidence of their atrocities, found to be plausibly committing genocide. Your complicity will not be forgotten by history.
