Mike Johnson told Hill press yesterday that OK Gov Stitt has promised not to tap a House Republican to fill Mullin's Senate seat
He said, “We can’t lose anyone,”
Word is GOP Reps Bice and Hern are almost certain to run in the June primary
Dunno yet .. its still playing out
We should know a lot more by Monday, these folks are going to have to start campaigning very quickly
I’m liking the move in Montana to run a popular young telegenic former state U prez as independent👇🏼
any high-profile OK personalities who’d run to replace markwayne cagefight as independents?
I'm betting she runs again
I've looked around and can't find any reporting on whether she's in, but I'll bet she's considering it
Candidates running in the Oklahoma Senate race to replace Markwayne Mullin have until the April 3 filing deadline to declare
The primary is set for June 16
Gov Stitt will tap an interim replacement
GOP almost certain to run:
House Reps Stephanie Bice & Kevin Hern

So ..
John Fetterman, who has a seat on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, has already said he'll support Markwayne Mullin for DHS Secretary
Despite Dems serious concerns about Mullin
And no confirmation hearing yet
Fetterman says, "I'm in"
You can do better in 2028 Pennsyvania
Bloomberg:
"Corey Lewandowski [who can't keep a job to save his life .. no matter how he gets it] looks to have been comfortably in the middle of the money flowing through Noem’s controversial $240 million ad campaign."
Stunning stuff in here:

Falling jobs. Rising prices. Millions losing health insurance. Serial violations of fundamental freedoms. Rampant corruption. Illegal wars. Rejecting medical and climate science. Epidemics. Incompetence. Lies. Every single action of this administration is hurting Americans and weakening the country.
House GOP Rep Tony Gonzales' runoff put the OCC report on his affair on hold
The only way to keep it from coming out now is to resign
Word is Johnson is desperate to prevent him from resigning right now
Because he just can't afford to lose another vote
Will Gonzales resign?
Time:
Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility:
“I guess,” he says
“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February. That's 5 of the last 9 months with overall job losses.
Gonzales' runoff put the OCC report on his affair on hold
Now, unless he resigns from Congress it can be released
Word is Johnson and House leadership are desperate to prevent him from resigning right now
Because they just can't afford to lose another vote
Will Gonzales resign now?
Jon Tester keeps it real: "I don’t believe that, as none of us were running. He fucked his own party"
"Independent candidate Seth Bodnar... said that: 'Steve Daines and Party insiders coronating their hand-picked successor and robbing voters of the ability to choose their elected representatives is exactly what Montanans hate about the corrupt politics of Washington, DC'."
If I were a Montana voter I would refuse to vote for Alme simply because Daines said he picked him as his “heir.”
THAT is dynastic rule, not democracy, and THAT is about as anti-American as you can be.

This sounds very sketchy
Only one House member did not vote on the 'war powers' resolution today. He has his mind on other things evidently.
Trying to listen for tears shed on the Hill for Kristi Noem, but I just hear Crickets
Moral of the story? Congressional oversight matters. Congress should do it more.
Democrats who voted against the War Powers resolution:
-Cuellar
-golden
-Landsman
-Vargas
C’mon, people. Look at your Kremlin style guide. The phrase is “special military operation.” Not all of you are getting this right.
Yes — that Markwayne Mullin. The senator who tried to start a fistfight during a Senate hearing in 2023 because someone insulted him on Twitter.
That’s who’s now in charge of the Department of Homeland Security.
What could possibly go wrong?
Trump just put the only senator without a bachelors degree in charge of homeland security
This is certainly interesting
Jesus
Apparently Trump was mistaken when he said that everyone has been wanting and asking for his big beautiful ballroom.
(Yes I know Trump lies constantly, but he's also delusional. He may very well have thought his grand ballroom would be hugely popular and another big monument to Trump.)
Hundreds of thousands of travelers are stranded in the Middle East after the cancellation of thousands of flights as war rages across the region.
Useless.
Corey Lewandowski can't keep a job to save his life
.. no matter what he does to get it
