Further proof that our socio-economic system rewards psychopaths
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.

A small group of Democratic lawmakers have just proposed legislation to bar members of Congress from profiting off prediction markets, citing elected officials' possession of "material nonpublic information."
On this, we agree
Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich donβt create jobs or grow the economy.
What's required is investment in working people β and better wages.
When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
Remember this.

The conflict in Iran is creating uncertainty for Nebraska farmers, who rely on fertilizer from the area.
Black-and-white formal portrait of Alva Myrdal (1902β1986), the Swedish diplomat, sociologist, politician, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. She is photographed against a dark background, resting her chin thoughtfully on her left hand, which displays a large, ornate ring. Her expression is calm, wise, and slightly introspective, with deep-set eyes, fine lines of age, and a gentle smile. Her silver-gray hair is styled in a soft, voluminous updo typical of the mid-20th century, and she wears a dark tailored jacket or dress with a simple collar, along with a distinctive metal wristwatch on her left arm. Alva Myrdal was a pioneering figure in social policy, women's rights, and international disarmament. With her husband Gunnar Myrdal, she co-authored the influential 1934 book Kris i befolkningsfrΓ₯gan (Crisis in the Population Question), which shaped Sweden's progressive family and welfare policies. She served as Sweden's Minister for Disarmament and Church Affairs (1966β1973), headed UNESCO's social science department, and played a key role in the United Nations. In 1982, she shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Alfonso GarcΓa Robles for her lifelong work on nuclear disarmament and peace advocacy through organizations like the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) and Pugwash Conferences. Known for her intellectual rigor, feminist principles, and commitment to global justice, she remains an icon of principled leadership in diplomacy and social reform.#AlvaMyrdal #NobelPeacePrize #Disarmament #SIPRI

Were we ever truly great?
Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.
Gas prices skyrocketing.
Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.
Another war in the Middle East.
Are we great again yet?
This seems like a terrible idea. Thoughts?
Kristi Noem's husband left her hearing after being humiliated by having to listen to questions about her having sex with another man.
Kristi should have married Jerry Falwell, Jr.βhe would have been joyfully diddling himself under the table.
Seriously. New Yorkers. Primary this asshole, post-haste.
Nah. If you eliminate her, she cainβt learn nuthin'
Be sure to tell your members of US Congress how their driving is www.govtrack.us
Deeply disappointing, and thoroughly inaccurate. It should be obvious to the entire world now that the United States and Israel are the largest state sponsors of terrorism. www.govtrack.us/congress/vot...
Had Golden, Cuellar, Landsman, and Juan Vargas (CA-52) voted with their party, it would have been enough to win. This is what I mean when I say itβs always just enough corpo Dems to give the GOP what it wants.
www.govtrack.us/congress/vot...
Aye. I donβt even know what to say. The Republicans are, except for an occasional one or two people 100% morally bankrupt. Oligarchs have just enough corpo Dems in their pocket to guarantee that constituents will not have any representation from their Reps. www.commondreams.org/news/primary...
Internet God understands
Thou shalt arrest Kristi Noem and put her in a detention center indefinitely so she can βawait processing.β
Fair enough and 100% right to call out Republicans, but it should also be said that a number of Democrats have no problem with any of this. That should give us a momentβs pause. What good is getting people to turn out to vote, if thereβs no representation in our "representative government"?
