With all of the violence and deaths involving DHS, the Secretary is apparently in no hurry to account for her mismanagement of this national crisis.
And she expects us to rubber stamp her record-breaking budget in the meantime.

Secretary Noem refused to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee last year and now tells us that she will be available in five weeks—should she still be DHS Secretary at that time.
…should she still be DHS Secretary.
Oversight of immigration detention, especially medical care, urgently needs reform.
When human beings are in the government’s custody, we are responsible for them.
From housing to health care, President Trump’s economic policies are making Americans pay more for their necessities. While the $1,781 Trump has cost Illinoisans may seem like pocket change to President Trump and his billionaire buddies, it makes all the difference for Illinois families.
Another tragic, fatal shooting by a federal immigration officer in Minnesota.
This is heartbreaking and infuriating. My office is gathering information as we speak.
But what we do know: ICE’s egregious, reckless behavior in our communities must come to an end.
Now.
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks, our European allies fought alongside American forces in Afghanistan because we asked them to. President Trump’s comments denigrate their legacy and dishonor the brave men and women who gave their lives in defense of America.
Illinois farmers are struggling from Trump’s tariffs with little help from USDA. Midwestern biofuels and a permanent E15 law will help farmers now. Last year, Elon Musk killed it. Now, the GOP House blocked it.
While President Trump bails out Argentina, he is neglecting rural America.
As extreme cold is expected to hit Illinois tomorrow, I hope everyone is taking proper precautions to stay warm. To find a warming center: www.arcgis.com/apps/dashboa...
The Trump Administration is detaining children as part of their cruel immigration enforcement efforts in Minnesota.
They are traumatizing children and tearing apart families all for political theatre.
NEWS: Consensus grows in Congressional hearing today to lower health care costs by tackling Big Pharma’s outrageous drug advertisements. The Senate must pass my bill with Senator Grassley to rein in these deceptive TV ads.
American citizens do not need to “prove” their identity to ICE agents to avoid arrest and detention.
Unconstitutional.
On the campaign trail, President Trump promised to address inflation and lower prices. But over the past year, Trump has cost Illinois households an extra $1,781 because of his unnecessary trade wars and petty grudges that dictate both his foreign and domestic priorities.
Citizens United was a mindless conclusion.
Humility and truth were the first casualties of Donald Trump’s Davos display. Our best allies are fed up with his threats and boasts. Our nation will pay a heavy price for one man’s ego.
It cost ~$215,000 to run a winning campaign for Congress when I first ran.
That’d barely get a campaign off the ground today.
Dark money in politics is a crisis—and Citizens United enabled it.
