Secretary Noem is serving in a role that is meant to protect us, and she has failed miserably.
She must resign, be fired, or be impeached.

The corruption doesn’t stop there.
While our country faces a massive affordability crisis, Noem has managed to cushion her lifestyle by spending hundreds of millions on luxury jets and by living in a military residence for free.
She’s wasted $220 million of taxpayer money to elevate her profile in a major advertising campaign.
Behind-the-scenes, she handed the deal's contracts to political allies instead of following a bidding process intended to prevent government waste and corruption.
Noem's been a chief architect of the president's massive deportation campaign, abandoning our laws to prioritize quotas.
She's mobilized poorly trained agents who've wrongfully detained U.S. citizens, pepper sprayed children, and killed protesters in the street.
She started her tenure saying, “We’re going to eliminate FEMA.”
And then she watched as $3 billion meant for disaster preparedness efforts were cancelled.
Then, she shrank FEMA's workforce while adding more red tape to getting disaster recovery funding to impacted communities.
Kristi Noem has proven time and again that she's unfit to lead the Department of Homeland Security.
Instead of making our communities safer, she’s been a rubber stamp for President Trump's policies that keep hurting Americans.
Kristi Noem went around the traditional bidding process and gave $143 million in taxpayer funds to a company she had close ties with to produce a massive ad campaign featuring her on a horse in front of Mount Rushmore.
The company had been created just days before.

Kristi Noem is the most corrupt Secretary of Homeland Security in our nation’s history.
She must resign or be fired. If she doesn’t leave, she should be impeached.
I gave Secretary Noem multiple chances to apologize to the families of Alex Pretti and Renée Nicole Good for baselessly calling them “domestic terrorists.”
She refused.

Pastor Steven Tendo fled persecution and torture in Uganda and has lived peacefully in Vermont for many years.
ICE violated his due process and detained him as he was leaving work.
ICE should be focused on violent criminals, not terrorizing our communities.
President Trump has ignited an unnecessary war against Iran that threatens to engulf the entire Middle East.
The Senate must immediately vote on the War Powers Resolution to stop involvement of U.S. forces in hostilities with Iran.
A two-state solution can’t be reached if Israeli settlements continue to expand in the West Bank.
But the Trump Administration's latest move gives a green light to the illegal occupation and threatens future peace negotiations.
Demand for electricity is higher than it’s ever been before and consumers are paying the price.
That's why I’m introducing a bill with Senator Dave McCormick to make our energy grid more efficient so we can get more electricity to homes and small businesses at a lower cost. https://bit.ly/4copGCq
My heart is with the American service members who were killed and injured as a result of President Trump’s decision to go to war with Iran.
I’m praying for their loved ones and for the safety of all American service members in the Middle East.
At the heart of Vermont values is the idea that we look out for our neighbors and give them a helping hand.
Rhode Island and Massachusetts are recovering from a brutal snowstorm.
I’m proud that Vermont has sent dozens of VTrans employees down to help both states dig out.
Vermonters Krista Gay and her husband Christian Rogerson started a little free pantry to help out neighbors who lost their SNAP benefits.
The couple’s kindness has touched millions on social media, inspiring others around the country to start their own little pantries.

President Trump’s illegal tariffs cost you $1,700 last year.
That’s $1,700 that you couldn't spend on housing, on health care, on groceries, on your electricity bill, on child care.
He’s made $4 billion profiting off the presidency but took money away from you.
For the past year, President Trump has been illegally taxing you and small businesses with his chaotic tariffs.
Senator Warren, Senator Booker, and I think he should give that money back.
For four years, the people of Ukraine have been bravely defending their country against Putin's ongoing illegal invasion.
While President Trump continues to ignore Putin's crimes, I’ll continue to work in the Senate to support Ukraine's sovereignty and hold Putin accountable.
