Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was transported by ambulance on Tuesday to a hospital in Washington, DC, after an allergic reaction, the Department of Homeland Security said.

“Secretary Noem had an allergic reaction today. She was transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution. She is alert and recovering,” said DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin.

CNN observed several Secret Service agents posted at several entrances outside the emergency room at the hospital where the secretary was admitted.

Finally hit her maximum toxic load of botox.

Who would have think a simple peanut could do that! She doesn't believe in science or vaccines so just thoughts and prayers? Me on the other hand, please poke me with any new vaccines you got.

Too much booger sugar.

She accidentally read the Constitution.

Godspeed shellfish. Finish the job.

I'm more than happy to chip in to send some doordash to her room ....

[–] Red0ctober@lemmy.world 46 points 9 hours ago

Must be something wrong with her humors. Drink this raw water, it'll cure you of that allergy. - RFK Jr., probably

Plastic contamination?

I wish Kristi Noem the same level of comfort that she enforces upon others.

I hope Kristi is doing as well as her son's puppy.

Someone must have told her the truth about something

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 19 points 9 hours ago

Or maybe she saw someone treating someone else with kindness.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 26 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I thought her constantly puffy face was due to Botox. My apologies Ms Noem if it was actually due to allergies. Next question is: what is she allergic to? Pollen? Dead dog fur? Ethics? Empathy? Morality?

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

Oh, no! Did she accidentally show someone compassion?

Truth right? She's allergic to truth?

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 10 points 8 hours ago

Oh no! We NEED to cut MORE Programs that help American Children to MAKE SURE she gets the BEST Care Possible!

[–] BoycottPro@lemm.ee 6 points 9 hours ago

Did she get some fake Botox?

Don't give me false hope
