DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
BREAKING:
The State Department has approved a $151.8 million emergency ammunition sale to Israel, bypassing Congress entirely.
π
And this is all he had to replace Noem.
Oh.
βWe have agreedβ β how nice of them! Surely theyβre doing this work pro bono right?
The UAW (United Automobile, Aerospace & Agricultural Implement Workers of America International Union) seeks an Assistant Director, Community Action Program (CAP) Department to be based in Washington, DC. Details can be found at: unionjobs.com/listing.php?... #1u #UnionStrong @uaw.org
Gas at a local Mobil station was $3.09 2 days ago drove past today $3.59. Great Trump Economic policy! He'll be sending out all the rebate checks soon, right?
Like clockwork.
π Former Russian Deputy Defense Minister Tsalikov, Shoigu's right-hand man, was found to have hundreds of millions in real estate.
He is accused of creating a criminal organization, embezzling budget funds, and accepting bribes.
Even more surprising is that all of this came to light after 2024.
NOPE
This is the man who is now in charge of US Homeland Security.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harmβs way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.
π₯BREAKINGπ₯St. Louis service workers wonβt let the bosses drown out our voices π£οΈ
#MOworkers, @sbworkersunited.org members, and community allies are gathering for the Food Service Workersβ Town Hall because weβre serious about demanding a real voice on the job βΒ and across the whole industry!
Itβs looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
I respect this person even more. Not just a semi-standard statement. The timing also demonstrates the way our imperfect system did, can, and will operate.
Now is the time for all good women to come to the aid of their country. Everyone has something to give.
I trust the unique treasures will end the tour at Mara-a*Lago
We're demanding transparency from GoFundMe about the creation of over 1.4 million fundraising pages in charitiesβ names without their consent.
GoFundMe must remove the unauthorized pages, change its practices, and take steps to protect charities and donors from being misled.
The vote on Rep. Massie and my WPR comes down to this. Are you with Lindsey Graham who was for the regime change war in Iraq, Libya and now Iran, or are you with those Americans who are tired of being dragged into wars in the Middle East and want us to focus on jobs and healthcare at home?
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.

Over a month has passed since we demanded information about the Minnesota children held in federal detention facilities. We have not received a response.
We will not stay silent while Donald Trump and Kristi Noem imprison children.

Speaker Joseline PeΓ±a-Melnyk at her swearing-in ceremony
A special happy Womenβs History Month to Speaker Joseline PeΓ±a-Melnyk, who made history just months ago as the first Afro-Latina Speaker for Maryland House of Delegates.
Always the first to flee while everyone else suffers the consequences.
