DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — 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.

Americans trust Fauci over RFK Jr. and career scientists over Trump officials RFK Jr. has tried hard to villainize Fauci. Americans still trust Fauci more.

This is why my oldest keeps telling her siblings she thought all politicians sounded like because he was so good at public speaking.

His speaking abilities are mythical in many ways to the younger ones.

How did our country sink from the brilliance of President Obama to the orange clown so quickly?

How lucky we were to have a grown up president with compassion and integrity.

I’m watching too. I feel peace wash into my living room. The sound of his voice and what Obama’s sharing helps me to remember there is good in America. Such good.

Why is the U.S. at war with Iran [dot dot dot]

I think y'all need to hear this.

It involves Trump because, of course it does.

The next freak out will occur when you hear he went to "war" because...

ARMAGEDDON.

He wants Armageedon - or his base does... or bases [1]
