Iโ€™ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noemโ€™s replacement.

The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.

Itโ€™s 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?

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodrรญguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodrรญguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. Sheโ€™s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

Theyโ€™ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and itโ€™s good sheโ€™s gone.

But this doesnโ€™t 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.

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 ๐Ÿคฏ

Trump administration is failing to address spread of measles, experts say As number of cases climbs past 1,000, experts say CDC is not taking obvious steps amid funding cuts

Measles is a highly contagious virus. Itโ€™s 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 โ€œPT Barnum.โ€ This is how Z responds.

Weโ€™ve got to keep the Epstein victims and survivors centered while we pursue transparency and accountability.

Their stories must be told.

2 am and I canโ€™t sleepโ€ฆbecause shit like this keep me up at night.

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.

Yes, Iโ€™m fโ€™n outraged!

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.

"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 donโ€™t we are unpatriotic so pay up.
