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.
Imagine being mad that your daughter is a genius
Valve has updated a blog post to say that it is shipping the Steam Machine, Steam Frame, and Steam Controller in 2026.
This is a headline that should only exist in a Hollywood B movie.... that the fate of the world hangs on the madness of these religious zealots is terrifying.

"Gartner predicts that by next year, half of the companies that fired workers for AI are going to hire them back. Also, 9 months ago, Microsoft…proclaimed that 30% of their code was written by AI, and since then, we've seen some of the worst software issues at the company in its history."

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has told a judge that it is not able to comply with his order to begin refunding tariffs.
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”
That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.
He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.
Our economy is bleeding jobs. Prices are up, especially for gas. Yet the White House prioritizes tax cuts for billionaires, while launching a reckless new Middle East war.
It doesn't have to stay this way - not if the American people make our voices heard.
Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.
Like a lot of things rich guys believe and fund, the AI consciousness thing is in part driven by a desire to abscond from the responsibility of what they've made. It also explains why so many of them think we're in a simulation. Doesn't matter if everybody died if we're all just 1s and 0s baby!
We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqvi’s family believes her to be held after being detained in O’Hare by federal authorities.
FYI the Epstein files that have been released are available to the public at www.justice.gov/epstein
And just like that we’re back to “Department of Defense”
I am so confused about this, there have been like 150 Robin Hood live action films already, were they going to use a literal fox??
We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.
Don’t worry about the 92,000 jobs lost last month. They’re getting ready to fire up the industrial war machine and force you all back to work.
I don’t want the national conversation to turn into “how should we fight this war with Iran?” when we shouldn’t be fighting Iran in the first place!
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear oil companies’ arguments that they shouldn’t have to stand trial in a climate accountability lawsuit.
For years, the Supreme Court rejected Big Oil’s requests to review similar cases... so what’s changed?
@emdashsanders.bsky.social explains.
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs
This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.
I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic
When politicians don't honor their promises, our work is to make them. To do that, we have to build enough power to make them. I understand why people get disappointed but this is unfortunately how things work in politics.
Another wonderful article by Jess DeCourcy Hinds and I am happy to see so many librarians that I’m honored to know, being recognized!

you guys ever walk around Disneyland and think about the tyranny of the spectacle?
It’s weird that people online treat politics like sports, yet never learn the part where you’re allowed to be mad at your own team for blowing it.
they are this afraid of people advocating for humane behavior

it feels like a small thing in context of all of the other things but it is a piece of the larger authoritarian project that there are fewer places to publish essays now and the carefully edited essay as a public form for thinking and responding and criticizing and analyzing is in trouble, i think
