Yesterday, I asked Kristi Noem’s former number 2, whether he disagreed with Noem’s statement that Renee Good & Alex Pretti were “domestic terrorists."
He refused to answer.
It's clear no one in this Administration knows right from wrong. He should not be representing our country.

This mass killing of children is unconscionable. It bears the hallmarks of a war crime.
Trump & Hegseth must answer for the US's role & they must be held accountable. People deserve the full truth. There must be an immediate & transparent investigation.

Good riddance. Now how about the rest of the Cabinet?

Our Ambassadors should have a basic understanding of the Constitution. But apparently, that's too much to ask of this Admin.
Trump's pick to be Ambassador to El Salvador (who was also Noem's deputy at DHS) had trouble answering basic questions about our Constitution.
Trump is already spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his illegal regime change war of choice in Iran.
Now, he's going to ask Congress to give him up to $50 BILLION MORE.
My vote: hell NO.
Today, Trump hosted AI execs to ask them to "pledge" to cover the electricity costs of their data centers.
One problem? It's smoke and mirrors.
Consumers should understand that if he's serious, Trump would support my Power for the People Act to make these protections LAW.
Senate Republicans just voted to block our War Powers Resolution & allow Trump's regime-change war of choice in Iran. Once again, they're contracting out their constitutional duties to Donald Trump, despite the will of their constituents.
Shameful.

Trump and his cronies are still hiding the Epstein files. They should be held in contempt.
Release the damn files!

Today, Congress was finally briefed on Trump's war of choice in Iran.
Even behind closed doors, they couldn't get their story straight.
But one thing is clear: they don't have a clue what the end game is, and it sure as hell isn't making America safer.
Again, when it's time to put up or shut up in court, the Trump Admin loses. This is a moment to commend the law firms that refused to appease a bullying president & shame those who capitulated.
History — and hopefully future clients — will remember who stood firm & who folded.
Not only has this Admin launched a regime-change war of choice that the American people don't want, they can't even get their story straight about why they did it.
American servicemembers and hundreds of civilians have been killed — and all they can do is lie.
Netanyahu got what he wanted but what about the American people?
What about the servicemembers who died? What about the nearly 200 schoolchildren killed?
There's a reason why past presidents didn’t go to war with Iran: they refused to risk American lives to open Pandora’s Box.
New reports that ICE is moving around 100 vehicles from Minneapolis to Washington Co, MD are alarming.
I’m pressing for answers & will continue to fight back against Trump’s lawless ICE & mass deportation operation in our communities. This is not what Marylanders want.
Trump's attack on Iran was not America First.
Trump was played by Israeli PM Netanyahu and the Saudi Crown Prince. Putting Americans at risk to advance their personal ambitions is a complete betrayal of the American people.
www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
I’m thinking of the brave American soldiers killed today. They should still be with us.
Trump said he would keep us out of war. This is his war of choice.
I am praying for their loved ones.
www.axios.com/2026/03/01/u...
Remember all those times Trump & Vance said they wouldn’t drag America into another war? They LIED.
Their actions today put American lives at risk, undermine our broader interests around the world, & will cost taxpayers billions of dollars.
As Black History Month draws to a close, we celebrate the enormous contributions made by Black Americans and resolve to never allow the Trump Admin to erase, diminish, or whitewash that history. American history and Black history are one story.
This is unprecedented.
A company owned by the President's family, is seeking approvals from a federal agency over which the President has total control — including to hire & fire the people granting approvals.
The company, the deal, the entire process is corrupt to the core.
With the SAVE Act stalled in the Senate, Trump is preparing to turn to Plan B: outright stealing our elections.
Trump's never been more unpopular, so, he's trying to take away the last remaining check on his power: the will of the people.
