JUST IN: U.S. Senate votes to confirm Kristi Noem as Trump’s Homeland Security secretary by a bipartisan 59-34 vote.

Krispi Gnome 😳🙄
Felon trump is unable or unwilling to find anyone qualified to fill positions. Or is it he just wants his lackeys so he can control them and do whatever he wants. Constitutions damned!!!!
Not surprised. The life of the Project. Will I ever get to vote again?!?
How the hell is it bipartisan. Democratic lawmakers are failing us. We can’t vote out Republicans, but we can vote out our own. If they are not up to the fight, get them out. We need new blood people.
Kristi Noem is going to keep our homeland secure. Now I know we’re in the Idiocracy phase of our history.
At this rate, can't really put all the blame on Republicans for what's about to happen. We have very weak Democrats to blame as well.
You can put 100% of the blame on Republicans because none of these things happen unless they were proposed and jammed through by Republicans. If every dem voted no, the outcome would be the same. Every single thing Republicans do is on them & their voters. Even if it is fashionable to blame dems.
No, it's not what is "fashionable" it is what is actual, real. Several Dems voted to confirm her or abstained from voting. They. Are. Complicit.
In other words, I'm glad Slotkin won in Michigan. She will vote for my values more often than not and WAY more often than a Republican. So, while I wish she would have voted no, I know it doesn't matter in practical terms and I'm still glad she won.
It can be both. Look, I wouldn't have voted for her, and I'm annoyed at those who did. I save my real anger for those who really caused it: Republicans. 100% of Republicans support this garbage, and part of the reason they won is because bashing dems is super popular on the left and right.
another DEI hire......
What Democrats voted to confirm that animal abuser???? Isn't that the "person" who cannot set foot on Reservations in South Dakota? 🙄
What Dems voted for her? They need to be voted out
Tim Kaine and Andy Kim????? God. We are so fucked........
According to govtrack.us, Hassan did vote yes to confirm Noem, so there were 7 Dems voting yes. Also several Dem no votes. Yes votes: Peters & Slotkin (MI) Hassan & Shaheen (NH) Kim (NJ) Fetterman (PA) Kaine (VA) Not Voting: Warnock (GA) Schatz (HI) King (ME) Smith (MN) Merkley & Wyden (OR)
By no votes, I meant not voting. Sheesh 😖
Anyone who didn’t bother to vote may as well have voted yes. Warnock?!? Such a shame
I’m sickened by Kaine
I am more sickened by Kim.
I don’t blame you! We voted for these people and they’re stabbing us in the back
I was when he ran back in 2016. He just came across as fake and trying too hard to get you to like him
Understandable. He was a better pick than our other choice this time… which doesn’t say much
I'm sickened by Fetterman, a Repuke in Dems clothes.
Yeah I’ve been seeing a lot about him sadly
Wow, me too.
FU Peters and Slotkin
Email them, I did and let them know the people are watching.
I'm keeping that list because I know we'll see their names again voting for the 2025 agenda.
Of fucking course one was fetterman. He’s clearly MAGA
Why the fk are they doing this, what’s the hold that trump has
I’m beginning to be convinced that through intelligence channels, Trump has compromising dirt on most all of them.
Maybe from Epsteins island
Some very disappointing votes there. SMH
I have no idea why any Democrat is voting with Republicans ever. Ever. We're just going to capitulate to them too. It's exactly why I left the Democrat party years ago. They suck
It is becoming increasingly clear we will need to give this man what he wants. The largest gathering at the capitals of the United States. We will need to swamp every capital strategically with committed non-violent protesters. Something like 20% of State populations entering their capitals.
Just because the organs of government are captured. We the people are not. The people are the body of this nation. This bribery, infidelity and various corruption but symptoms of an infection. We shake off our apathy and enrich our diet. Gather together become immune to division.♥️🔄👣
So,so disappointed in Senator Shaheen. She has been a very solid statesperson for our state of New Hampshire. Kinda blindsided by this.
Hassan voted for her too. Not sure why she’s missing from the list.
I don't know. I just posted what Newsweek reported.
From way up here in New Hampshire. Did not see that coming.
Nope, I didn’t either
These are mostly swing states that are trying not to upset Felon47 and the oligarchs.
I am so gd disappointed in my Michigan representatives who did this 😳😡🤬
Me too.
This women is a proven fire cracker who flew the Coo coo nest. Very wild and explosive. What the hell were these democrats thinking. And is seems no Republicans voted against her. Even representatives of our own party flipped. I am done as who to trust. smdh!
I’m real shocked to see Elissa Slotkin here, a former CIA agent who served 4 tours in Iraq after she mutilated Hegswith!
Why did I waste my vote for a lying puppy killer supporter that's what I want to know. What is the point of voting democrat at all anymore? Especially here in Michigan?
I hear you. I really promoted Slotkin myself. This is thoroughly disappointing.
How the Democrats are just bending a knee to the Fascists is just sickening. Not one of the Democrats should have went to the inauguration, not one of them even opened an investigation to look into voter fraud. Then trump brags about it. @repjasmine.bsky.social IS the only good one in government
Jesus Fetterman. What gives?
Time to vote those six dems out
"THEY'RE SHOOTING THE DOGS! THEY'RE SHOOTING THE GOATS! I'M MAKING THEM SECRETARY OF HOMELAND SECURITY!"
😆
Feck the Democrats.
Dog killer bitch.. This is like bizzaro world on Seinfeld.
Shoot me now... ... just kidding. I don't want to be the next "unloyal" dog.
In the last two days we’ve confirmed a racist alcoholic and self confessed dog killer. Only the best in a Trump Administration!
Like they put a racist rapist convict felon in our White House to run the country. And wondering why the world leaders are laughing at America.
🤯
😡😡😡😡
😡😢
👎
Who were the traitors?
I know that Gary Peters and Elissa Slotkin, from MI were. I emailed both of them to let them know the people are watching.
I guess we're deporting dogs now, too?
Christ on a bike, this is stupid.
This is another disaster. She launched false attacks on the Indian Reservations after they banned her for abuse of animals. I can not believe that the Felon is trying to say that native Americans do not have birthright citizenship and she is just the moron to enforce it.
If they do not have birthright citizenship, where will he send them? Back in time?
I think his purpose is to strip them of casino rights- a long standing sore spot for the felon
Oooooh, that hadn’t even crossed my mind. Son of a…
Puppies everywhere are cringing in fear!
My out-of-state donation to Elissa Slotkin's campaign was an absolute waste. I'm disgusted.
I tried to send an email to her today, but her webpage is less than functional. The voicemail was in her predecessor's name and full, of course. And there was no link to make an email.
Oh, you mean she's following more MAGA behavior.
That's my rep I'm going to be pissed if that's true
See what you come up with. If you find a viable email address, please share it.
Call the 202 number in Washington DC
That was the number I called.
She sends out emails all the time but at the end she wants money
They all do. ☹️
info@e.elissaslotkin.org
Thank you so much!!
Look's like he got some quality picks !!! Most of them getting confirmed quickly and bipartisanely !!!
Hide your dogs
Quick! everyone hide your dogs
DEI hire
Democrats suck at resistance to fascism. What a useless party.
Speak for yourself. We have protests happening this weekend in our local area.
democrats just votes to confirm a dog killing fascist. to demand change is to abandon the neoliberal party.
voted*
Trashing dems plays into maga's hands. Find a Democrat you like and support that person.
No bipartisanship with literal Nazis, What year do you think it is? FFS.
Did you see the word bipartisanship? I have worked hard to get them to vote against these nominees and against the Laken Riley Act. I will not trash the ones who did because they are who we have at the moment, like it or not. I will continue to pressure them. I won't give the enemy ammo, though.
They need to be reminded who they work for.
And that has exactly nothing to do with trashing them all over social media. Pick up a pen or a phone if you have something to say. Ffs.
And I’m not “trashing” them, I’m holding their feet to the fire.
Well, an awful lot of "resisters" seem to think that trashing them all over social media is somehow effective. I assumed by your comments to me about bipartisanship you agreed it was or thought I somehow was approving of the "yes" votes.
Fear not, Warnock’s office will most definitely be hearing from me.
I'm sure you called before the vote, be sure you tell him he disregarded your voice.
Given how vociferous my support for him was during his campaigns, I plan to.
That is absolutely the way. Imho, trashing them in public does plays into maga's hands. That doesn't mean we don't continue to work the phones and pressure them and it doesn't mean we vote for them again. 💙
Crazy you’d go after the Dems when Republicans are the problem. Start ripping them to shreds.
And who are voting them as enablers? Sure ones are guilty for action, others guilty by complicity
Let me put it in perspective. Who would you rather go after: the politician that thinks it’s okay for children to give birth to a pedophile’s baby or a politician that allows you to have that right, but they don’t codify into law?
When sports teams lose, they often change management, new head coaches, new general managers, etc. Democratic Leadership must change and pass the baton to the new generation.
You’re absolutely right. We need new leaders. I was incredibly disappointed when AOC was denied a leadership position. She is so influential that people voted for her and Trump in the election. She’s that powerful. The Democratic Party needs to prioritize people like AOC.
How about a fiery progressive instead of a milquetoast centrist Democrat? How about Bernie Sanders instead of Hilary Clinton? How about AOC instead of Chuck Schumer? A reckoning and wholesale leadership change must occur.
I completely agree. We need a progressive that is ruthless. We don’t compromise with Nazis and Nazi sympathizers. We’re moving forward. Period.
And the difference is? Cause both came to the same result.
You didn’t answer the question. If you have any shred of morality, this would be an easy answer for you.
I answer that. Both coming from the same way by action or omission came in the same result. And if my morality indicated is bad what do you think?
I answer. If you have reading comprehension deficit or your brain doesn't compute the answer as "neither" then it's not my fault.
I’m not asking for much. If your brain cells are that fried that you’re incapable of answering the question then disengage. I can read past a fifth grade level and I desire to speak with people that have that ability. I’m not wasting my time on the intellectually disabled. That’d be too cruel of me.
Disgusting
We are fucked. Everyone watch your dogs and goats
It just keeps getting better and better doesn’t it? When will this hell end?
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
And all this time people thought there were democrats in the Senate!!
A lot of angry people on this thread should ask themselves why. Republicans want you to be reactive not proactive. I trust Senator Kaine’s judgment, the majority would’ve won and the nominee could’ve been worse. Tougher battles are coming and there is now a seat up for grabs, weaker majority.
DNC Leadership (IMO) needs to get everyone in line for the next 4 years. No more Collaborators (in the Quisling way, not the helpful way). Treat Collaborators appropriately.
Starting with Schumer
Why was this NOT closer?
Democrats are pissing me the fuck off. Jesus Christ on a cracker.
Wow
Bipartisanship garbage
Unbefuckinglievable.
Hide your dogs.
And we sure as hell know what she can do with a gun
Oh yeah, another nail in our coffin
Never give those Dems another dime for their reelection campaigns. 😾
They all need to be primaried.
Andy Kim s such a disappointment. And what if the ones that didn’t vote? Why would they just sit this out?
Join the Democrat party JUST to vote against these pricks in their primaries.
Thinking about it. I left the party on November 6th because every single time, they cheat on the presidential primary, but I guess in a closed primary state, I’m just hurting myself
Disgusting 🤢
Ridiculous any Democrats voted for that unqualified sycophant.
Fetterman is the new Manchin. What a disappointment. His elite upbringing is showing despite his cosplay of the working class.
And look at Kaine, railing against the secdef nominee merely a few hours ago, getting showered in praise. They’re all snakes.
It seems that he was always a Trojan Horse.
I certainly hope we have people working to stop this NIGHTMARE? It's only been 5 days 🤦♀️🤷♀️
Under Noem's "leadership" a low population rural state, population density of 11 people per square mile, ended up with one of the highest Covid death and infection rates in the country. At one time South Dakota had the highest covid death rate in the US. www.keloland.com/news/local-n...
Also too, she is an abuser of pets.
Yeah, but they have a couple of Division 2 CFB powerhouses. When you really get down to it, CFB is all that matters in those red rural states that suckle the government teat with reckless abandon and no thought as to where the milk comes from.
www.sdstandardnow.com/home/noem-de...
She was essentially an absentee governor in SD. Just photo ops and pandering to #Felon47 with border trips and useless legislation. While theft and corruption ran rampant in state employees. She'll do the same at DHS once she decides what higher position she wants next.
Gross. Vote every one of the “yes” votes out. Totally worthless.
YES!!!
this way maybe they build some bridges in their state to stay in office and come midterms, maybe we garner a few more seats to swing the pendulum blue. I’m trying to think big picture.
I'm definitely voting for anyone other than Slotkin.
I expected better from Kaine.
And Slotkin.
youtu.be/c1iVYI_Ybfw
Fetterman is such a disappointment, honestly.
Huge disappointment.
@andykimnj.bsky.social
Bought.
Slotkins again?? Ugh, never voting for that woman ever again.
She’s going to be a problem.
I've emailed her twice this week. I really had high hopes for her. What a joke.
Add Maggie Hassan to that list.
Ok what goddamn dems voted yes? Time to primary some folks.
Yet another idiot that no one will listen to.
59 traitors
DISGUSTING!... SICK!... OUTRAGEOUS!... What the hell is wrong with the Democrats who voted to put this REVOLTING "Dog/Animal" KILLER, Noem, into office as Homeland Security Secretary?... This country is going to HELL and TOTAL Destruction!
Democrats who confirmed Noem: Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia Senator Andy Kim of New Jersey Gary Peters of Michigan Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire Elissa Slotkin of Michigan Bipartisanly walking us into fascism with a smile on their faces.
If a drunk Fox TV host and sexual predator like Hegseth can be confirmed, none of the others will be denied.
DUI hires
bsky.app/profile/unre...
Why did any democrats vote for her?
Because no one has the stones to hold this CONVICTED FELON accountable, they're all afraid of the narcissistic psychotic bully.!
Right,and it baffles me why. What is he going to do tweet about them and give them a nickname? They are afraid of the class bully...really Congress?
Well, this guy yanked federal protection from Dr. Fauci and said he'd bear no responsibility if something bad happened to him. What does that sound like to you? Sounds like a great, big OK to me......... Haven't "mobsters" been sent to jail for the same.......Uh, wait.... never mind....
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Because they think voting no has zero practical effect on the outcome apart from increasing their chances of losing more seats in the Senate. I don't agree with their analysis, but it is a point upon which reasonable people could disagree.
Time to hide your puppies.
Really surprised that so many Democrats voted for her. Interesting! I’m sure there is a political agenda behind this happening.
Oh boy. Puppy killer made it
Unbelievable
First Hegseth then Noem. 🤦♀️So sad to have an animal killer and alcoholic in charge of two of our most important government agencies.
Sick. She hates the red people living in the state where she was governor so much that they would not allow her on their reservations, will kill any living thing that annoys her, will grift for teeth and we won't even get into Cory Lewandowski. What is wrong with our Democratic representatives?
Or how about her abuses of SD’s tax money?
The list is pretty long. Feel free to fill in the blanks!
Wait. Did I just read Elise Slotkin voted yes? Is that true?
Yes. I'm aghast.
I don’t get it. I’m going back to my original thoughts of “theatrics.” And my original party of Independent. I cannot anymore… I just can’t.
I am an Independent and thought slotkin would be better. It's unbelievable how many Dems are kneeling to trump.
I was too. I changed parties for the primary 4 years ago and stayed bc “down ballot” was now my thing. I’m done now. I can’t imagine ever, ever voting republican going forward, but I need to disassociate from this party. It’s making me nuts.
I'm so livid. They are doing nothing but placating trump and the Repubs. Aside from 3 or 4 of them that are actively speaking out. Do they crave power so much that they'll let him destroy us?
From thehill.com article Six Democrats voted with Republicans to confirm Noem: Sens. John Fetterman (Pa.), Tim Kaine (Va.), Andy Kim (N.J.), Gary Peters (Mich.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) and Elissa Slotkin (Mich.).
You Eva Braun has been confirmed! Congratulations America you are becoming dumber by the minute. Where is everyone’s spine to join the resistance.
Hide your kids, hide your wife, hide your dog!
Remember to maintain this discussed you have for the Democratic establishment and party for 2026 and 2028
The clown show continues....
Dems betrayed US! Get them out!
Spineless Dems
Not thrilled, but at Least she has 'some' experience, which is more than you say for Hegseth.
That’s one way to dismantle DSH 🤦♀️
Pathetic!!
Doomed
Hide your dogs
Why, why, why would ANY Dem vote for Kristi Noem? Why are they rolling over like that???
And the circus is getting bigger, just like Trump's last term.
Hide your dogs!
WTF democrats??? Is there no end to your betrayal???
The dog killer? Hekate, ATTACK!
😡😡
USA 2025 💩⚫️
Oh my! The puppy murderer. I feel so secure. WTF!
So a lot of dems voted yes?
www.newsweek.com/full-list-de...
Well…. shit.🤬
Oh, christ, of course they do. Sigh
I don't feel safe or secure with Kristi running Homeland Security at all. And it has nothing with her being a Woman. It has everything to do with her being an idiot who let covid cases skyrocket in her state and being a shameless Trump sycophant.
This 👆🏻
The dog killing probably didn’t help either.
No brains or ethics required, just follow orders…and curtsy occasionally.
🤬💩
Vichy democrats working with the Fascist Party to help them tear down our democracy. rollcall.com/2025/01/25/s...
Welp, if he eradicates fema, she'll have less to do. Maybe we can cut her pay.
Get the names of the Vichy Democrats who voted for her and drag them hard.
Why? Do we have a stray dog issue I am not familiar with?
3 democrats voted for her. Fetterman being one of them. So disappointing
7
6 did
Fetterman may be the new Mansion. A fake dem
Why would any Democrat vote for her?! She would’ve still been confirmed without their vote. Why go on record as supporting this?
Good fucking question.
Which Democrats voted for her? Do you know.
Fetterman, Kaine and Slotkin for sure
UNBELIEVABLE OTHER THAN THE BATTLEFIELD, I'VE NEVER FELT LESS SAFE. THAN I DO TODAY IN THIS COUNTRY😳😡
They’re killing the cats, they’re killing the dogs…
Who are the democrats that voted for this Russian asset? WTH!!!!
Hide your dogs….hide your cats
fuck
Dems...you are really starting to suck!
Just starting? You came late until you saw the reality
Pathetic. I’m done with Dems. I want an Angry As Fuck Women’s Party. Now.
The idiots are running the asylum. Tulsi Gabbard will also come through. All the R-Senators are spineless bastards. Time for a military coup.
Could the big picture be that the Dems who voted for her are looking at the long game. If they come from purple states, perhaps this is a way to lay groundwork to be reelected by looking moderate. She was going to be confirmed anyway…
No. It's not. That's the same effiing mistake Dems did the last 4 years that makes Trump as president.
Perhaps, but what’s done is done. Is the alternative to vote a dem OUT?? For me, that’s a no. I’m going to hope that the guy who is in the room has a different perspective than me. That’s how I will try not to lose my mind.
What's done is still doing. The alternative to have bad Dems is either a strong 3rd party or to bring a good Dem in and the bad Dem out, and you can do this starting to voice your concern in town halls, becoming an activism for better representatives and causes, not stay there and hope for someone.
There is no long game!! This is the bottom of the 9th.
I disagree. Midterms are the long game. We’re going to have to take it by baby steps now, unfortunately, and as frustrating as that may be.
If you are thinking 2 years is the long game then yes. However I think 2 years is not a long game at all. Politicians must act with more urgency.
That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Yes, urgency, but she was getting confirmed with or without his vote, unfortunately.
The long game BS went out the window with Merrick Garland
They’re shooting the dogs.
Democrats oftentimes disappoint their voters!😱 WTH!? Playing nice when one is being mailed is Insanity.😢
Correction, mauled! It's annoying when autocorrect, corrects the wrong with the wrong word!🙃
On the upside, South Dakota is done with her.
I give her 4 Scaramuccis.
WTF is wrong with these Democrats!!! Where's the fight? None of these people are qualified
The horror show continues.
The GOP goosestepping all of trumps nominees
The thrills keep coming…
What is going on with Fetterman? Democrats how could any of you vote yes to her? Republicans and Democrats make them put up more qualified candidates. You have to power. Stop worrying about being primaried because either way, you are not helping your constituents if you aren't voting for them.
Maybe she will kill People and not puppies now.
After this. I’m taking a break today. I have to not read any news for a while. I’m very scared and cannot believe that was the vote.
Tim Kaine?? Ugh
Dog killing bitch
Another psycho.
That’s why I left the Dems , they are weak and cowards.
How long do you think she will last? Don’t get distracted.
🤬
We are just giving up now. But really @kaine.senate.gov? How do you ever vote in support of anyone they nominate after 2016?
Why would any Dems vote for this POS?
Hide your dogs
Hide your dogs
Bad news
Pathetic that bipartisan submission. Just when it's necessary that dam of resistance, they aren't different to the useless idiots to help the Nazis in 1933
What the hell? The most unqualified cabinet ever.
Literally all I know about Noem is she shot a dog. That is enough, though. Dems need to resist every unqualified nominee. There is no placating Trump or finding common ground. The man wants to invade sovereign nations and put people he doesn't like in prison camps. Sound familiar?
America, keep an eye on your dogs.
Assuming this is for real, thank you.
Which Dems voted for an election denier?
Not a single democrat should in any way be enabling or tacitly approving anything done by this criminal president and his administration. The betrayal of these spineless Dems is as bad as those we know who voted for Trump after we warned them what would happen.
Yep. That's how I felt before his nazi rally the other day. But after the salutes? Anyone who votes for the nazi party is a nazi themselves.
WTH??!!!
Senate confirms dog killer
What? Bipartisan? What are the Democrats thinking?
Wow! All of a sudden the mood has changed into a doom & gloom, blame the Democrats game! Where’s the courage to stand up against injustice? Where’s support for those standing up for us?
Our current party leadership is complicit! Talk, talk, talk, then sit on their hands! A new iteration is needed badly!
DEMS ARE COMPLICIT
Dems are spineless!! Quit voting for the same sh*t over and over again! 🤬🤬
These Dems are complicit. Be specific. Attacking the whole party is why we are FFs. bsky.app/profile/terr...
Why vote for a puppy murderer ?
There are some #RubberStampDEMS too🔥🤬
Was it Fetterman again?
Yep, one of many.
Journalists, start chasing DEMS and ask them why the person got their vote. Let’s primary them. The candidates ARE NOT QUALIFIED! DEMS should not give the president, house or senate one vote!They aren’t listening! God God DEMS stop playing nice in the sandbox. We are in a S##Tstorm! PISSED AT YOU!
😿The GOP has lost it's fucking mind. A woman capable of shooting a puppy in the face, cause she "hated that thing." A DRUNK in charge of our military. All the rest of the freaks will be confirmed. I have no doubt idiot Gaetz could have been confirmed by this putrid bunch, had he tried. WE ARE FUCKED
Seriously, WTF? The Dems need to oppose the GOP at every turn. MAKE THEM OWN THE SHIT SHOW THEY'RE CREATING.
Fetterman needs to be examined
Dogs across America have started transitioning to cats.
Fuck bipartisanship
Who are those effin' Democrats who voted FOR her??
They are all resigned to be our rulers, no longer interested in representing. They have given into fascism... Anyone voting for any of these cabinet picks have sold their soul.
you dont get it , there is no America, we ended that, there is now only magaland, this is the land where crime is king, we elected a criminal, we chose, we are the bad guys, the are a criminal enterprise, we are the bad guys
She literally murdered her dog.
Sooooooo… a DEI hire? 🤔
Why would any Democrat Senators vote for any of them?
Hide your dogs
I'm quite ashamed of my country’s transformation – the GOP has become utterly ineffective.
Is that the dog killer?
Yep
The dumpster fire has more fuel! Hello Meidas Mighty, just signed up to this platform. Ben, I never miss an episode of yours on YouTube, Thank you so much for what you do!
Sickening
They need to fight the battles where they can. RFJ and Patel are much more concerning.
This is all beyond ridiculous
Wtf is wrong with dems?
What democrats voted yes?
Even jr will be confirmed. I honestly think they’d have confirmed Gaetz if he hadn’t quit.
BIPARTISAN?????? How? Why? 🤬
So much for meritocracy, more like kakistocracy with the confirmations that have gotten the votes
This is beyond ridiculous! Republicans don’t keep their powder dry for the bigger fight they vote down everyone when democrats are in power. We should do the same fight everyday!!!
My god fetterman, kaine and warnock Really
