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.

Seems troubling.

More troubling would be the idea that the Administration might have bombed Iran without expecting this.

I've had some major bouts with depression in my life...becoming most acute in my mid teens. I've been fortunate enough to receive some excellent help when I needed it...from caring therapists and psychiatrists who found the best medication for me.

Get help if you need it. There is hope for us all.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

"Anyway, Kristi and Corey’s alleged affair is said to have begun all the way back in 2019 and is probably the worst-kept secret in Washington besides the Epstein Files and their contents."

This is what a CBS headline looks like these days. Of course no need to click & read their devil worshipping spin.

ICE Wants to Buy Warehouses for Mass Detention. Communities Are Fighting Back. People across the political spectrum are realizing these federal detention warehouses will harm their communities.

The overdue firing of Kristi Noem will have no bearing on the continued plans for unwanted warehousing of human beings across the country.
The spotlight should focus on these warehouses (de facto concentration camps) during Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing.

'Dreaming of Gilead?' WaPo Hit for Op-Ed Mourning Lack of Evangelicals in 'Halls of Power' Washington Post readers are pushing back against the paper and an op-ed that laments what its author sees as a shortage of evangelical Christians in the β€œhalls of power.” β€œEvangelicals are 23 percent ...

Oh. Hell. No.

I'm so sick of these people trying to make the country conform to their apocalyptic-fantasy-driven Christian theocracy. And non-Talibangelical Christians should care more than I do as an atheist. 1/

I’m convinced the religious nuts in the government told trump he could get to Heaven if he started the war with Iran, and I also think he is already bored with it.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

the guys trying to call DoD the "department of war" are getting very prickly about people calling their war a "war"
