After Trump dismissed the inspectors general of five cabinet departments at the end of his first presidential term, Congress passed a law in 2022 that increased the removal protections for the post, including requiring a notification as to the “substantive rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons” for the removal action.
So if Congress doesn’t file articles of impeachment over this, aren’t they effectively saying that Congress has no checks against Presidential authority?
Wtf?
Seven democrats voted for her.
My rep, who I voted for, Mrs. Slotkin, is getting an email.
The Senate voted 59-34 to confirm Noem to be President Donald Trump’s Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
Here’s the list…
Democratic Senators who backed Noem:
Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania
Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia
Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey
Senator Gary Peters of Michigan
Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire
Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan
I will never forgive anyone who voted for Trump.
First Laken Riley, now this. Gary Peters needs to be challenged in the primary.
Fetterman too. He’s officially a giant fascist in gym shorts at this point.
Extra special lift shoes!
So Gavin Newsom is 6’2” - and Trump is 6’3”?
He should start taking boniva!
Now that you mention it, I’ve always assumed that Trump wears the MAGAt cap when he’s having a bad hair day, but what if the real purpose is to add another inch or two whenever he has to be standing next to a 6’+ person?
Surely RFKjr. (now that he’s got the POTUS’s ear) won’t just sit back and allow these pollutants to sap & impurify our precious bodily fluids? Right?
Right?
And of course, if they do go ahead and enforce comstock laws, imagine how many more trans people are going to end up in prison… 
Jesus, fuck, this timeline is utterly awful and bollocks.
I doubt there would be any question that this is an “official act” and according to USSC now, that is not subject to things like laws and such. Fucking a-holes…
When asked about Fauci and former national security adviser John Bolton, Trump said, “They all made a lot of money. They can hire their own security, too.”
So says the guy who whined about insufficient taxpayer funded security at his various campaign rallies.
Trump didn’t lower egg prices but at least he can exact his personal revenge fantasies, right?
I no longer feel schadenfreude with MAGAts realizing, belatedly, how Trump is going to screw them, this time around. I’m just angry and frustrated that they’re only now realizing it, when they absolutely should have known these incredibly obvious things before. I can’t even (entirely) be angry at them, even - that they live in media environments that allowed them to be that ignorant about such fundamental aspects of Trump’s policies makes me completely apoplectic.
