Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!
Trump is announcing his nominee.
That's it.
If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now.
And that matters come November.
They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that
As a former military spouse, my stomach clenches for all the mil families who have to listen to this bullshit.
I think war is serious business, real life-and-death stuff, and should be taken seriously by people who initiate and prosecute it.
Sorry to get so partisan, but that’s how I feel.
Post an iconic horror movie image
Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.
War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.
Crockett concedes: “This morning I called James and congratulated him on becoming the Senate nominee. Texas is primed to turn blue and we must remain united because this is bigger than any one person.”

“This is the most transparent Department of Justice in history,” said an unidentified spokeswoman.

You don't have to love all of these movies, but you do have to understand that a studio that makes Sinners and One Battle and Mickey 17 and Wuthering Heights and The Bride and Weapons grasps its responsibility to filmmaking and its own history and tradition in a way that David Ellison does not.
I’m glad that Robert Smith has basically been a (non-creepy) old weirdo since the 70’s. It’s part of his charm.
He played a huge role in putting MAGA moms on our school board and banning books. He’s awful.
Ron, I lived in Toth’s state district. He is absolutely worse. And he’s hungry. He is going to do anything Trump wants if he thinks it will help him.
Toth is pretty damn MAGA. He did a good bit of damage to the Woodlands just as a state rep.
As someone who used to live in Montgomery County, Texas, Toth’s win is horrifying.
Photo leaks, UFO questions and verbal sparring were the main products of what Republicans had billed as a bombshell interrogation.
They should make the entire GOP out of pending retirements
This is fantastic. I just wish they had courage before they announced retirement
I just learned that Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Khomenei are not the same person. Here's my plan for regime change in Iran....(1/23)
Some AUSA desperately typing in "Does FRAP rule 42 have a takesies-backsies provision" into LexisAI right now.

Watching some of the clips from the Clinton’s testimony and, wooo-we, the differences between Hillary and Bill are stark.
And then there’s Boebert…jeez.
So…if someone needed an abortion, could their parent write them a permission slip?!
Who does this man think his audience is?!
Tweet from Ryan Grim: "Understand what Neera is arguing for here: she thinks that no Democratic candidate should appear on any podcast where a host has flirted with conspiracy theories around Charlie Kirk and Israel. I don't think she understands how many podcasts that includes. And if you make the opposite argument, and say no, actually, tens of millions of people love those shows, Democrats should be on them, she says I'm "defending anti-semitic conspiracy podcasters." The good news is that this stuff doesn't work anymore. Save your breath, nobody cares."
I really don't think "There are so many antisemitic podcasts out there that you just can't help but appear on them" is the defense they think it is.
When you have the chance, please take the time to watch Harrison Ford's remarkable, beautiful Life Achievement Award acceptance speech. #ActorAwards

This is monstrous.
(And thank you).
Also, will be in your town in May. Maybe we can grab a snack somewhere!
Baking is my anti-anxiety go-to. You can’t let your mind spin if you are going to get your measurements right.
It is impossible to fuck up.
Like opposing government agencies that break the law and act to terrorize communities.
