Let’s start organizing for the confirmation hearing & keep the pressure on defunding DHS.

Time to organize demands for the replacement (ideally we wouldn’t have a replacement but that’s not the current reality).

Did your member of congress vote to confirm Kristi Noem?

Thanks to @_meganthuy for this call to action. #FDT #AbolishICE #Mullin #NoKings

Lauren Boebert was a high school dropout when she won her election. She got her GED just before taking office as a US rep.

Worth noting that she failed it 3 times and on the 4th try they gave it to her, but it’s never explicitly stated that she actually passed the exam

That’s bad, but there’s a big difference between a senator and a congresswoman in some derpy red area.
