DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” 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.

Another big reason obsessive poll-sniffing is silly: β€œPublic opinion” on most issues quite literally does not exist. It is an ephemeral artifact of the process of polling itself. Ask again a day later with slightly different wording & the numbers change radically.

My mistake, there’s no comment options on this video either. Other posts about your spit hood coverage have quite lively comments sections requesting that Seattle Times β€œdo better” πŸ€”

Organizers believe over 300 people turned out for the protest and your coverage includes one photo of a dozen people. Please properly represent the amount of public support this protest got.

1. it's not?
2. what's "true" in a very obvious sense is that they're going to try their best to MAKE it true and still replace every job they can with it despite it, again, not being true
3. it then follows that the way to "think seriously" about it is to be as skeptical & hostile to it as possible

They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Du Pont family and corporation is so evil my brain can’t wrap around it. One podcast episode discussing the fire bombing is Dresden, the dropping of the atomic bomb, and Teflon….. one episode for millions of deaths, all made possible by Du Pont.

Mamdani needs to live up to his campaign promises - not having the cops do the sweeps is an improvement over Adam’s’ admin, but this reversal from Zohran’s campaign promise will damage public trust in all his policy commitments, not to mention **cruelly affect unhoused populations**

Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.

They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.

So being a journalist in 2026 will get you:

(A) arrested for covering protests (Don Lemon)
(B) fired en masse by a billionaire (1/3 of WaPo laid off) or
(C) murdered by Israel (over 200 killed since Oct 7th attacks)

Great news for an educated republic that is able to defend against tyranny.
