@JamesWNeal @Nonilex It's probably useful in other aspects of #KristiNoem's life, like when she's murdering puppies.

Today while *testifying* before the #House, dog killer #KristiNoem REPEATEDLY refused to acknowledge that #Trump posted a doctored image of #KilmarAbregoGarcia's tattoos, prompting Rep #EricSwalwell to have a staffer bring the oversized & well known image right up to her face.

Via #Newark, #NJ Mayor #RasBaraka:

This is the moment I was invited into #DelaneyHall. Nobody was kicking or shoving like the coverage suggests. We were invited in.

This is just a remarkable stream of outright lies from dog killer #KristiNoem. She claims that #House #Democrats committed felonies, violently attacked, assaulted & punched #ICE agents at #DelaneyHall in #Newark, #NJ.

They were literally sitting in an area that detention facility ofcls asked them to wait in.

How is anyone letting her get away with this?

As the #Trump admin is flying #Afrikaners to the #US today to be resettled as "#refugees," #DHS Secy #KristiNoem is terminating Temporary Protected Status #TPS for #Afghanistan — meaning they may start deporting #women & #allies who protected our troops to the #Taliban to be persecuted or killed.

Relationship building is critical for coordination in the event of a #storm, acc/to 3 emergency managers & experts. Some planned hurricane training sessions & workshops have been moved online.

#FEMA, which is overseen by #DHS Secy #KristiNoem, confirmed the training cutbacks in a statement to Reuters:

"At the direction of President #Trump & Secretary Noem, we're done offering duplicate trainings that promote *waste*, *fraud* & *abuse* & that are not a good use of American taxpayers.”

The agency, which coordinates federal response to #NaturalDisasters, confirmed Hamilton was no longer serving as acting administrator. Many other senior leaders have been fired or decided to leave as FEMA faces an uncertain future.

On Tues, #DHS Secy #KristiNoem, whose agency includes #FEMA, testified before lawmakers that FEMA should be eliminated. Hamilton, appearing before #Congress on Wed, said instead that FEMA “must return to its roots,” helping state & local govts respond to disasters.

#Boasberg: Secy #KristiNoem said, "One of tools in our toolkit." Is she wrong?

#DOJ: i'm not going to parse out every statement l...

Boasberg: does that means these statements aren't true?

DOJ: not what i'm saying at all...

Boasberg: what you're telling me ... are you willing to provide that in declarations?

DOJ: we don't believe discovery is necessary. can consult with State dept.

Woof. This excerpt from Rep #LaurenUnderwood’s (D-IL) questioning basically sums up #DHS Secy #KristiNoem’s appearance before the #House #Appropriations Cmte.

Noem was unable to answer at all whether she believes people in the #US are entitled to #DueProcess.

Noem wrongly claimed no #UScitizens have been deported.

Judge Chen said #KristiNoem's actions appear to have been predicated on "negative stereotypes" by insinuating the migrants were criminals. "Generalization of criminality to the #Venezuelan #TPS population as a whole is baseless & smacks of #racism predicated on generalized false #stereotypes," Chen wrote, adding that Venezuelan TPS holders were more likely to hold bachelor's degrees than American citizens & less likely to commit crimes than the general US population.
