Oppose Markwayne Mullin's Nomination for DHS Secretary - Unfit
Text SIGN PWUPCV to 50409 — I am writing to urge you to oppose the nomination of Rep. Markwayne Mullin to serve as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. While Mullin has served in Congress, he’s no better and in some ways worse than Kristi Noem.
His record demonstrates a pattern of impulsive behavior and policy positions that raise serious concerns about his fitness to lead an agency responsible for national security, disaster response, and immigration enforcement.
We don’t need another thug in that office.
Mullin's temperament is particularly troubling for a cabinet-level position requiring diplomatic skill and measured judgment. He has a documented history of confrontational behavior in congressional hearings, including telling Rep. Ben Ray Luján to "shut up" during committee proceedings and engaging in heated exchanges with expert witnesses.
Most recently, he attempted to physically fight Teamsters President Sean O'Brien during a Senate hearing, requiring intervention from other Senators. This lack of self-control is incompatible with leading an agency that manages complex crises and coordinates with international partners.
His legislative record also raises questions about his commitment to protecting vulnerable populations. In 2013, Mullin voted against renewing the Violence Against Women Act due to provisions protecting LGBTQ individuals.
For an agency that oversees immigration enforcement and refugee resettlement, this vote suggests a willingness to exclude certain groups from protection based on ideology rather than security needs.
Furthermore, Mullin's characterization of the Trail of Tears as "the volunteer walk" on Fox News demonstrates either a troubling ignorance of American history or a willingness to distort it for political purposes. While he later expressed regret for imprecise language, this incident reveals a casual relationship with historical facts that is dangerous in a position requiring accurate intelligence assessment and public communication during emergencies.
The Department of Homeland Security requires leadership that combines strategic thinking, diplomatic skill, and respect for all Americans. Mullin's behavior and record suggests he lacks these essential qualifications.
I urge you to oppose his nomination. Thank you.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies.
If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

Defund Trump.
January 14, 2026
Since the first day of his second term, Trump has refused to follow the Constitution. Trump now asks Congress to continue his lawless reign by passing a “continuing resolution” that will fund the government at its current levels of lawlessness.
Congress should refuse to do so.

Congress Must Defund an Authoritarian Presidency
Text SIGN PQFQEF to 50409 — Since the first day of his second term, President Trump has shown open contempt for the Constitution. He now asks Congress to ratify that lawlessness by passing a continuing resolution that would fund the federal government at current levels—including funding for unconstitutional conduct, state-sanctioned violence, and dangerous abuses of military power.
Congress must refuse.
Instead, Congress must use its Article I authority to defund an authoritarian agenda that is already harming Americans and destabilizing the world.
This month, the president proposed increasing the Department of Defense budget by roughly 50 percent—an increase of hundreds of billions of dollars on top of an already staggering defense budget that already exceeds one trillion dollars annually. This proposal comes as the executive branch demonstrates open disregard for international law and civilian protection. Recent reporting shows U.S. military operations involving aircraft disguised as civilian planes—conduct prohibited under the law of war. At the same time, the administration has retaliated against members of Congress for warning service members that they must refuse illegal orders, signaling a dangerous effort to politicize the military and punish constitutional oversight.
At home, the administration has unleashed a heavily armed federal force against American communities. Under the banner of immigration enforcement, masked agents have conducted warrantless raids, used chemical agents on civilians, detained U.S. citizens without charge, and killed an innocent American woman, Renee Nicole Good, on a public street. In the aftermath of her killing, the administration smeared the victim, interfered with local investigations, and pushed to investigate her surviving spouse. Multiple career federal prosecutors have resigned in protest over the Department of Justice’s efforts to cut state authorities out of the case—clear evidence that DOJ is being used not to enforce the law, but to protect federal violence and punish political opponents.
The administration has also attempted to freeze $10 billion in congressionally approved federal funding for child welfare and related programs in Minnesota and other blue states, openly using federal funds as a weapon of political retaliation. A federal judge promptly blocked that directive, confirming yet again that the president is acting without lawful authority. The president himself has now embraced the word “retribution” to describe these actions.
Congress cannot continue funding agencies that operate outside the Constitution while claiming to defend democracy and public safety.
If the president openly threatens to defund states, ignores appropriations law, retaliates against protected speech, and deploys federal force against civilians, then Congress must respond in the only way the Constitution permits—by withholding funds.
We urge Congress to:
• Refuse to pass a clean continuing resolution
• Reject any increase to the Department of Defense budget, including the proposed 50% expansion
• Defund and dismantle abusive immigration enforcement operations
• Block funding for unauthorized or unlawful military actions
• Condition appropriations and confirmations on full constitutional compliance
• Reassert Congress’s exclusive authority over spending and war powers
The courts move slowly. Federal agencies have been politicized. The power of the purse remains Congress’s most immediate and effective check.
Funding this administration without conditions is not compromise—it is complicity.
Congress must act now to defend the Constitution, protect civilian life, and stop the consolidation of unchecked executive power.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."
