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.

Republicans are pushing DOJ to bring criminal charges against Cassidy Hutchinson for spilling the beans on Donald Trump's Jan 6 shenanigans.

This is all about creating a chilling effect on anyone in the administration who is *currently* witnessing unethical/illegal behavior.

The Oligarchical Corridor A Source of War

If we examine the origins the the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor.

Congress needs to end this illegal war.

I’m calling on all my colleagues to vote yes on the bipartisan War Powers Resolution today.

"Downright disgraceful”: Gillibrand demands evacuation plan for Americans stranded in war zone Exclusive to Mother Jones: The senator says the administration has no plan to evacuate citizens after launching strikes on Iran.

Trump β€œhas essentially told the thousands of citizens who are stuck in the Middle East because of a war he started that they are on their own,” the New York senator told Mother Jones.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, 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. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Kristi Noem going out praising herself for her courageous public service when all she did was steal our money and lie to America and brutalize the vulnerable and screw her boyfriend is pretty much the exit from DHS I expected of her

It is very important she eventually go to prison

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake, MN was killed in Kuwait while serving our country. She was an avid gardener who made salsa from peppers and tomatoes in her garden with her son. She also loved rollerblading and bicycling with her daughter. Here she is with her husband Joey. πŸ™

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’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.

I've got laryngitis so I'm not on TV today. but if I was, I'd remind everybody that mass deportation *remains* family separation, whether Noem or Mullin or anyone else is Trump's DHS Secretary. and that policy has not changed.

Justice Dept., Under Pressure From Trump, Fails to Build Autopen Case Against Biden

I take comfort in DOJ’s failure to fabricate crimes, but the effort alone is a disgusting abuse of power.

The reason why our stockpiles are seriously depleted is not because of Joe Biden. It is because the Iran War is the SEVENTH bombing campaign by Trump in the past year. And that doesn’t count the Venezuelan boats. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Here's what I believe: no more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't.

One hundred and sixty-five children were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike on their elementary school. This is an aerial image of the graves being prepared for their bodies.

I defy anyone to justify this.

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

The majority of America’s teachers β€” a whopping 71% β€” have at least one side job because they’re so underpaid.

Meanwhile, the country is about to be launched into a long, drawn-out war that has already cost an estimated $2 billion.

Priorities.
