Iโve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noemโs replacement.
The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.
Itโs a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.
So the fact that we bombed a girls elementary school, while likely using AI for targeting, is going to be a major headline story dominating American news coverage when exactly?

MASSIE: โIran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leaderโฆ ๐บ๐ธ & ๐ฎ๐ฑ turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 ๐บ๐ธ families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.โ
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheโs married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
Theyโve already sent her to Louisiana.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and itโs good sheโs gone.
But this doesnโt change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Jupiter and Callisto from Voyager 1. This color composite of Jupiter was the last image captured by Voyager 1 before its wide-angle camera could no longer fit the whole of the planet within its 3.2 degree field of view.
On this day in space, March 5th, 1979, #Voyager 1 did its closest flyby of #Jupiter.
I can't believe that 48.5 years after launch, Voyager 1 is still going and the farthest human-made object from Earth ๐คฏ

Measles is a highly contagious virus. Itโs also one we know how to contain. But as cases in the US accelerate past 1000, the Trump admin is refusing to take obvious steps to mitigate the spread. My latest.

Zelensky has done everything he possibly can to satisfy this admin while he fights a war of survival for his people. And the Trump admin has done nothing but repeatedly treat him with disrespect, scorn & ridicule. 2 days ago, Trump called him โPT Barnum.โ This is how Z responds.
Well would you look at that
BREAKING: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton calls for an investigation into Jeffrey Epsteinโs alleged foreign intelligence ties.
Weโve got to keep the Epstein victims and survivors centered while we pursue transparency and accountability.
Their stories must be told.
Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

As of this moment the WH has not ordered U.S. flags lowered for the 6 service members killed in a drone strike in Kuwait.
On Sept 10th, 2025, the flag was lowered 5 hrs after Charlie Kirk was shot.

Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of โ on steroids.
NEW: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the United States has asked Ukraine for help intercepting Iranian-made Shahed drones, citing Ukraineโs battlefield expertise. Zelenskyy said any assistance will come only if it does not weaken Ukraineโs own defenses.
"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)
Here we go again, America. We have to give a President another blank check and give him as much as he wants to shoot unlimited $20 million interceptors at $20,000 drones and if we donโt we are unpatriotic so pay up.
