I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

Very few Republicans say "no" to an invasion of Greenland. Here's one.

I mean, they'd be a shoe in today. I think the worse you do the job, the farther you move up in succession for either a Director or governmental Secretary position.

My thoughts today are with the security people and police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 and have been treated with such distain since by the GOP. For them and the Democratic leadership who lived through such chaos and no doubt continue to carry the scars within. We will not forget.

When all three branches are compromised, is it not just a rotting stump?
Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.
Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.
Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.
It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

The US has broken nearly every treaty since its inception. Are we supposed to really feel hoodwinked by the reality they commit war crimes?

Through a muddled historical tradition, Judith was associated with the festival of Hanukkah. In some accounts, she made cheesy pancakes for Holofernes so he would ask for wine, get drunk, and she could kill him. Although there’s no sign of it in European art, here are some pictures of Judith anyway.
