Fact Check: Seriously, Noem didn't tell Congress Republicans voted for Jan. 6 rioters to work for ICE
Noem appeared before Congress throughout May 2025 in a series of budget hearings, but this particular issue was not discussed.

It’s amazing how fast they can build a concentration camp: “Alligator Alcatraz”— but they can’t manage to fix a levee, fund a hospital, or get clean water to poor communities.

It's amazing that in the last two administrations under the Donald, the only two major legislations passed by the Republicans are two huge tax cuts for the wealthy. Yet the conservative voters still continue to vote against their own interests.

With Medicaid being cut & since 1/3rd in FL are retirees does DeSantis have a plan for the upcoming crisis? If a third in nursing homes are discharged, health care needs aside, FL has an immediate homeless crisis of giganic proportions. IS FL PREPARED FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT GOD AWFUL BILL?

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.
