from Eric Swallwell via text:

Friend, I’m leading the call for Kristi Noem’s resignation.

As the senior-most Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee, I’ve seen a lot — but what Noem is doing at the Department of Homeland Security is beyond the pale.

She deported a 4-year-old child battling cancer. She detained a U.S. Marshal. She lied to Congress about Trump’s doctored photo of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. And she’s arrested one member of Congress and detained another just for speaking out against MAGA’s authoritarian regime.

Under her leadership, ICE agents are running around this country terrorizing families, masking their identities, and abusing their power at Noem’s behest.

I’m demanding accountability — and her resignation. But I need your help.

While I fight to ensure Kristi Noem answers for her disregard for the rule of law on the Homeland Security Committee, will you split a contribution between me and Seth Moulton? I’m about to be in the middle of two high stakes investigations against Trump and his henchmen, so I need to be prepared to fight back no matter what they throw my way.

Democracy dies when we remain silent, friend. Help me fight to protect the rule of law in this country and hold bad actors like Kristi Noem accountable.

Thanks for having my back,

Eric

BUT ... has he made any public statements about it? Not saying he has not, but if you're going to 'lead the call for' and 'demand accountability' for something, you kinda need to be doing that somewhere OTHER than a fundraising text. LOTS of "other somewheres", in fact. I hope he is doing so. Just saying.

But let's issue this call publicly, and then make it difficult for her to ignore. Fundraising isn't getting my attention at this point.
