Over 50 Dems Impeach DHS Chief for Contracting Husband’s Husbandry

KEY POINTS

•Fifty-three House Democrats co-sponsored impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem by Tuesday afternoon amid rising caucus anger.
•Charges include obstruction of Congress, denying ICE detainees due process, and a $220 million contract controversially awarded to the spouse of Noem's top spokesperson.
•Despite warnings from Rep. Susie Lee, key battleground and centrist lawmakers like Gabe Vasquez and Angie Craig threw support behind the impeachment push this week.

In a vivid twist nobody saw coming—except congressional Republicans eating popcorn—53 House Democrats signed onto impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The charges? A thrilling trilogy: obstruction of Congress for locking lawmakers out and hoarding disaster funds like a reality-show villain, trampling detainees’ constitutional rights (because who reads the Constitution anymore?), and an eye-popping $220 million sweetheart contract handed to a firm run by Noem's top spokesperson’s husband—a classic 'keep it in the family' move. The impeachment drive was turbocharged by outrage over the recent Minneapolis ICE shooting of Renee Good, turning political whispers into a loud chorus backed by battleground stars like Gabe Vasquez and centrists such as Angie Craig, despite warnings it’s bad for swing districts. DHS dismissed this as a 'silly' distraction while accusing Rep. Robin Kelly of prioritizing fundraising clicks over cleaning up Chicago’s crime. Moral of the story: nothing says public trust like giving your spouse’s spouse a Pentagon-sized paycheck, then calling the cops when Congress shows up for a chat.

Kristi Noem handing $220 million to her spokesperson’s husband is the government’s version of a wedding registry nobody asked for, but everybody’s paying for.
