She's not stupid, everybody's notions that these people are stupid is wrong. You need to start thinking like this is intentional. It's brainwashing, it's lying, it's meant, to bolster, the dear leader and put everybody else into the ground.

Perhaps, but she is not smart. Offering her more intelligence than she evidences is not valuable

Noem digs in on the lies she and the regime continue to try to push, as they clearly know there are no teeth behind any of these proceedings or laws for them. Just my observation. They are smug in their indignant statements!

It is against the law to lie to Congress. Maybe she should be arrested. At least it would put her lying in t he News.

My mind is boggled!! 🤯

She is clearly unqualified for the position she holds . . . actually I don’t believe she is qualified for much of anything at all.

We’re being lead down a garden path none of us has ever thought could be created in our democracy … we believed everyone wanted to uphold the law! Except the few midguided mistreated since early childhood, etc etc … needing protective custody to pay for their crimes against all of us…. No one is going to prosecute or jail the multibillionaires who are the creators and now the advocates for their project 25 scheme to shake out the less than useful and so on… and they’ll put us on unasked for diets w no protein and no balanced anything, forget all of us taking medications for biological challenges we’ve taken for granted can be re-balanced w correct medication… and it’ll be pretty quick that we’re thinned out to a reasonable size national population totally controlled by the American oligarchs of the year 2025.

I can’t believe yet, that this is actually happening. But watching the ineptitude and dismaying ignorance of the young and older ‘leaders’ in the Republican cohort this year of 2025 makes it all totally sensible. If you’re going to take over a very powerful democracy that’s been functioning for how many hundred years?… you’ve got to dumb down the leaders do they are easily placated w job titles and tidbits of personal power over large numbers of other people.

Good night. I hope to wake up soon and find that some glorious shift has occurred and some group has taken over control of this nightmare! Turned it around and redressed the harms done. 💤

Fear nothing. These incompetent MOFOs have their own cold winter fast approaching and their dear leader will leave them dangling in the wind. FFOTUS remains the lead performer in a dangerous clown 🤡 show so we must resist without fear. I’m grateful for your superb reporting Allison.

Facelift Barbie is one of the most evil things in this whole evil administration. She rejoices in broken bodies, fear and despair. She should never have power over any human being or poor helpless animal.

Why do they all look like monsters? Is it because they ARE monsters?

Truth like this is really frightening to those of us watching as the parade continues to march to melodies we’ve never considered to be worthy of public displays !

I know commenting on a person's looks is generally bad, but if those looks are a result of that person's own actions and not from their genetics it should be allowed IMHO. If Noem adds any more to her lips she is going to trip on them.

And the power ( given by the election of ‘24 to grant them all freedom after murdering a number of people paid to guard the sanctity of our public buildings in Washington DC.

They're not prosecutions, they're persecutions. If we don't act decisively now they'll be coming for us next.

By the way, why has Kilmar Ábrego García fallen off the radar?

We don’t have trusted national news… paid to go fund him and help get legal assistance for his rehearse & return home.

ICE has appeared in very small towns now. Easier to move through without arousing public scrutiny and action. Sadly.

As an attorney, the ignorance of and shredding of the Constitution is appalling. Rubio should be disbarred for turning a blind eye.

Noem-the puppy killer—usually hiding behind ignorance—is now trying to distract from her assault on democracy with lips so dangerously inflated with Botox she’s barely recognizable, except she does look more like the clown we’ve always known her to be.

Just wondering if you see this as similar to Singapore (and others) going back decades now, taking adversaries to court so that the adversary drains resources until no longer able to defend themselves?

Plastic on the outside, idiotic and evil on the inside. ICE Barbie needs a trip to Leavenworth for a lengthy stay.
