Noem faced Republican criticism
Republicans largely kept the focus on the large numbers of migrants who came into the country under former President Joe Biden,
portraying Noem as the leader of a cleanup effort of the former administration’s mess.

Senator Tillis, who called on Noem to resign following the shootings in Minneapolis, criticized her for erroneously arresting American citizens, for…

My county elected Moriarty in 2023, in the wake of her mealy predecessor (Michael Freeman) filing completely inadequate and doomed-to-fail charges against Derek Chauvin, until MN AG Keith Ellison yanked the case from him and refiled with charges that could (and did) actually win.

Wow, man, imagine being the kind of person that suspends anyone he sees from Gaza during a genocide.
The inhumanity of some Germans is really quite remarkable. Didn’t you get enough of genocide the first time around?

This summer, Mikhail Loshchinin set out for Russia on a motorcycle with German plates, reaching the border in Latvia on July 1.
At the Ubylinka checkpoint on the Russian side, he presented his Russian passport.
