Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) called on Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem to resign during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, accusing her of “making America less safe.” “You have systematically dismantled the Department of Homeland Security, put your own interests above the department, and violated the law. You are making America less safe,” Thompson said. “So rather than sitting here and wasting your time and ours with more corruption, lies and lawlessness, I call on you to resign. Do a real service to the country and just resign. That is, if President Trump doesn’t fire you first,” he continued. Check it out: NEW: Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) calls on DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to resign before she even begins testifying at a House hearing on worldwide threats. "Do a real service to the country and just resign.

She touted the work DHS has done to secure the southern border and protect the U.S. “DHS is eradicating transnational organized crime and the stopping of deadly drugs from continuing to be funneled into our communities,” she told lawmakers. “We’re ending illegal immigration, returning sanity back to our immigration system, and we’re defending against cyberattacks against our critical infrastructure.” The former South Dakota governor, speaking about the global threats facing the country — including those posed by domestic extremists and radical Islamic terrorism — said the U.S. should brace for heightened risks as it prepares to host major events in 2026 such as the World Cup and the nation’s 250th birthday. Several anti-ICE protestors interrupted the hearing while Noem was giving her opening statement, shouting, “Get ICE off our streets,” and, “Stop terrorizing our community.” Footage below: BREAKING: Radical leftists are ALREADY interrupting Kristi Noem’s Congressional hearing, with one dressed up as a Catholic Cardinal These people are freaking sick in the head.

It’s an assertion denied by Noem’s office, which said she only found out her meeting was canceled after she left the witness table. Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., moved to subpoena Noem to reappear before the panel, saying she shirked her duties and may have even lied about needing to attend a meeting of the FEMA Council convened to determine the future of the disaster agency. “The Secretary found out at 12:26pm that the meeting was cancelled,” a DHS spokesperson said. Republicans voted down Thompson’s motion to again call her before the committee. Noem said earlier in the hearing that she would need to leave to attend the FEMA Council meeting. Several Democrats repeatedly told Noem flatly that she was “lying” to them and to the public. They presented cases of U.S. citizens being detained in immigration operations and families of American military veterans being torn apart by deportations of loved ones who have not committed serious crimes or other violations.

The GOP-controlled Indiana Senate has rejected a new congressional map that would likely yield two additional Republican-held House seats. The legislative chamber voted 19-31 against the map, with 21 Republicans joining all 10 Democrats to reject the map. BREAKING: The Indiana Senate has REJECTED the proposed 9-0 GOP gerrymander. The existing 7-2 congressional map will remain in place. pic.twitter.com/PeqiJlTGzM — VoteHub (@VoteHub) December 11, 2025 More from Indiana Capital Chronicle: With that tally, Indiana became the first Republican-led state Legislature to vote down Trump’s wish to squeeze out more GOP-friendly congressional seats in hopes of improving the party’s chances of keeping its slim U.S. House majority after the 2026 midterm elections. The Indiana House last week approved the new maps crafted by the National Republican Redistricting Trust to produce a 9-0 Republican delegation. It did so by carving up the two districts currently held by Democratic Reps. André Carson in Indianapolis and Frank Mrvan in the area along Lake Michigan near Chicago. But the Senate’s Republican leader, President Pro Tem Rodric Bray, has said repeatedly that too few GOP senators supported the mid-decade redistricting for it to pass. Thursday’s Senate outcome came even with Trump, Gov. Mike Braun and other redistricting supporters continuing to cajole — and politically threaten — Bray and other senators who opposed the move. “I am very disappointed that a small group of misguided State Senators have partnered with Democrats to reject this opportunity to protect Hoosiers with fair maps and to reject the leadership of President Trump,” Braun said. “Ultimately, decisions like this carry political consequences. I will be working with the President to challenge these people who do not represent the best interests of Hoosiers,” he continued. I am very disappointed that a small group of misguided State Senators have partnered with Democrats to reject this opportunity to protect Hoosiers with fair maps and to reject the leadership of President Trump. Ultimately, decisions like this carry political consequences. I will… — Governor Mike Braun (@GovBraun) December 11, 2025 CNN shared further: A pro-redistricting Republican, Sen. Liz Brown, said that passing new maps “actually is about trying to predetermine political outcomes — absolutely. It’s a privilege policy-makers have.” “The only way we can bolster Republican voices in Congress is to do this,” Brown said. The state’s two legislative leaders, House Speaker Todd Huston and Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray, previously met with Trump. As it became clear the Indiana House would vote for the new map but that the Senate’s outcome was uncertain, Trump led a weeks-long pressure campaign against Bray, threatening to back primary opponents against him and other reluctant Republican senators in 2026 and 2028. His allies, including the Club for Growth, Turning Point USA and a new group led by veteran Indiana Republican operative Marty Obst and several veterans of Trump’s presidential campaigns, aired advertisements, held a statehouse rally and took to social media to vow to unseat senators who broke with the president’s wishes. Gov. Mike Braun, who is completing his first year in office, also publicly backed Trump’s redistricting push and floated the possibility of a challenge to Bray’s Senate leadership post, after Bray insisted last month that the chamber did not have enough votes to pass new maps.

Pastor Artur Pawlowski is one of the good guys…. He’s a businessman-turned-Pastor and he’s fighting on the front lines to preserve Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion. You might remember him from back during COVID when the police tried to raid his Church for the very fact that he dared to close the Church doors, and his viral clip where he yelled GET OUT! “GET OUT!!!” — Canada’s Pastor Artur Pawlowski EXPOSES It All On My Show Awesome guy! I just had him back on my show to discuss his friend and fellow Pastor up in Canada, Derek Reimer. Derek's story is eerily similar to Pawlowski's story, and he's being arrested and jailed for speaking out against drag time story hours aimed at children -- and then for refusing to apologize for it! Yes, really! That report here: Pastor Derek Reimer ARRESTED In Canada After Refusing To Apologize For Protesting Drag Queen Story Hour At Local Library So I invited Artur back on The Daily Truth Report to discuss what all has happened so far to Derek, where things currently stand, and finally what we can do about it. Free speech is only free if we fight to defend it! I'm not on the front lines with Artur and Derek, but I do have this platform reaching 5+ million people monthly, and so I'm going to use it to blast this message far and wide and fight back against the TYRANNY that is trying to destroy us. And I could use all of your help too please. Share this far and wide! Speak up! Speak out! Fight back!

I can't wait to have him back on my show again soon, we will absolutely make that happen. And a big thanks to my good friend Bo Polny for actually connecting us together and making this happen in the first place.  Thanks Bo! Oh, I almost forgot....Pastor Art is currently in the USA doing all he can to help make sure President Trump wins in November. Since the man literally walks in supernatural power on a daily basis (you will understand what I mean when you watch the interview) I asked him if he had received any prophetic word from God about the outcome of the election. He says yes, that he firmly believes President Trump will win, but he urges everyone to work like crazy in the meantime and to not become complacent.  He actually said a bunch more than that, but I want you to hear it directly from him.  That was near the end of our interview. Ok, please enjoy the videos above and let me know what you think! SHARE!

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has officially launched his campaign for Governor of Minnesota. “Let’s bring common sense back to Minnesota,” he said. “I want you to know that I will stand for you as the next governor of the state of Minnesota,” Lindell said in a video announcement. “I will stand for you against the rampant fraud under Governor Walz. I will stand with you against crime that threatens the safety of you and your family,” Lindell continued. “I will stand for you against government-sponsored theft of your livelihood,” he added.

Incumbent Democratic Gov. Tim Walz has already announced he is running for reelection for a third term, although he has faced recent scrutiny over alleged state financial mismanagement and returning to a challenging political situation in his own state after being a running mate on a losing presidential ticket. During a press conference last week, Walz addressed alleged fraud in Minnesota, saying it is being looked into and audited. A handful of Republican candidates have also announced bids for governor. Lindell joins a crowded GOP primary that includes Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth, 2022 nominee Scott Jensen, state Rep. Kristin Robbins, businessman Kendall Qualls, and attorney Chris Madel. “After prayerful consideration and hearing from so many of you across our great state, I’ve made the decision to enter the 2026 gubernatorial race. I’m still standing and I’ll stand for you,” Lindell said. I’m officially running for Governor of Minnesota.

Hours after news broke of Lindell’s decision to file campaign paperwork last week, Walz’s campaign launched an email fundraising campaign featuring an exchange with former Vice President Kamala Harris. “Trump loyalist and election denier Mike Lindell just jumped into the race against me for Governor of Minnesota,” Walz wrote in the fundraising email. In his speech Thursday, Lindell attacked Walz multiple times for a fraud scandal that has engulfed his state this year. Federal prosecutors have alleged that dozens of people in the state stole hundreds of millions of dollars from pandemic-era welfare programs in the state.

Accused Charlie Kirk killer Tyler Robinson made his first in-person court appearance today. Disgustingly, he was seen smirking and laughing as he sat with his lawyers. Notably, he was also dressed in civilian clothes, a request that was previously approved by the judge overseeing his case. Watch here: JUST IN: Accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson seen grinning in court during his first public in-person court appearance. “Outside of that courtroom that you’re looking at right now, fierce, intense security,” Fox News reported. “Several city blocks cordoned off, all… pic.twitter.com/xGeYbcXvpt — Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) December 11, 2025 JUST IN: Accused Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson seen grinning in court during his first public in-person court appearance. “Outside of that courtroom that you’re looking at right now, fierce, intense security,” Fox News reported. “Several city blocks cordoned off, all types of police in every direction… Some of the doors are zip-tied.” Today, the judge will hear a request to ban cameras inside the courtroom during Robinson’s trial. While cameras were allowed for the first part of today’s hearing, we didn’t get to see a lot because the judge ended up ordering a closed-session hearing, shutting off the public broadcast. Not even Tyler Robinson’s family was allowed to observe what happened first-hand. The New York Post reported: Tyler Robinson, 22, was brought into the Provo courtroom wearing a simple blue button down and tie as his lawyers prepared to argue that media shouldn’t be allowed to film his hearings by claiming they could potentially taint a jury. Judge Tony Graf allowed cameras to film for part of Thursday’s proceedings. The judge said he would hear from both sides behind closed doors and then open the courtroom back up to the public afterward. Even Robinson’s family was barred from the secret hearing, despite his lawyers request the kin be allowed to remain. Robinson looked calm behind the defendant’s table flanked by his attorneys, and even smiled as he appeared to whisper joking comments to one before the hearing began. Gunther Eagleman provided a summary of everything we did get to see before the broadcast was turned off: FULL SUMMARY: Here is a full summary of what was discussed just now in the public portion of Tyler Robinson’s appearance in court: Judge began: “calling Case 251-403-576, State of Utah v. Tyler James Robinson… we’re addressing three issues. The October 14, 2025 audio recording… pic.twitter.com/f5plEp3NpU — Gunther Eagleman (@GuntherEagleman) December 11, 2025 FULL SUMMARY: Here is a full summary of what was discussed just now in the public portion of Tyler Robinson’s appearance in court: Judge began: “calling Case 251-403-576, State of Utah v. Tyler James Robinson… we’re addressing three issues. The October 14, 2025 audio recording of the closed hearing and the October 24, 2025 transcript of that hearing. The State’s motion to amend or clarify the publicity order, commonly known or referred to as the gag order. Finally, the motion for limited intervention and request for notice of motions to close, seal, or reclassify… filed by the media organizations.” Judge explained the plan: “This portion of the hearing [on the Oct 14 audio & Oct 24 transcript] will be closed… All members of the public and the press will be excused, and the hearing will not be broadcast… because I need to hear what should or should not be sealed or protected and it would not benefit to have everyone listen to what should be sealed.” “After I’ve heard argument, we will invite… the public and the media to come back in and the hearing will resume transmission. We will then take up the motion for limited intervention followed by the State’s motion to amend or clarify the publicity order. These portions… will be open to the public and to the press.” Defense attorney Richard Novak then asked: “Mr. Robinson has some immediate family members who are present, his father, his mother, and his brother, and we would ask the court to permit them to remain in the courtroom during the closed portion of the hearing.”State objected, citing discussion of “court security measures.” Judge denied the request: “I’m gonna rule that they will be excluded as well. It is just given the nature and the sensitivity of it, I believe it is appropriate to treat all parties in the public equally.” Court then went into closed session and livestream was cut. That was the entirety of today’s public portion, essentially just the roadmap and the family request. The substantive arguments on sealing the October recording/transcript, the gag order, and media intervention all happened (or will happen) off-camera. Ruling expected later today after recess. Why all the hiding? The handling of this entire thing has been very suspicious. This case should be broadcast nationwide. Full transparency. I guess we will find out later today whether or not they will be allowing any further recording inside the courtroom. What are your thoughts? Do you want to see Tyler Robinson’s trial broadcasted live?
