DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — 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.
New: Democrats asked a federal court to block Trump's 250-ft arch.
Under law, Congress must approve certain monuments in DC.
“This is a straightforward issue of who’s in charge,” @SenAngusKing said.
They also mocked the "vanity" project.
“This is not Pyongyang,” @RepHuffman told me.
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?

🚨Secretary Burgum’s under investigation for the pay-for-play corruption scheme he set up for his boss? The secretive Freedom 250 was set up to peddle influence, whitewash history, and exploit America’s 250th celebration for Trump. https://bit.ly/4cmvNHp
A group of US senators led by Sen. Adam Schiff launched a probe into Trump's Freedom 250 over fundraising tactics. In a letter to the White House, senators demanded answers by Feb 20.
It is unknown whether the White House responded to the letter from @schiff.senate.gov

here's our @publiccitizen.bsky.social statement on this outrage!
www.citizen.org/news/trumps-...
🧵 The Trump regime is set to bring its Christian nationalist extremism tour to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on May 17th. For America's birthday, Trump's Freedom 250 'Rededication' event proclaims that the U.S. is 'One Nation under God.'
🧵 Trump announces event to 'rededicate America as one nation under God"
A 12-hour event on May 17 at the National Mall, Washington, DC.
"The National Mall prayer event is part of Trump's Freedom 250 initiative, a subsidiary of the National Park Foundation"
www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Rededicate 250, national day of Prayer, as declared by Trump. An even of Freedom 250, the Christian nationalist hijack of America's birthday
"The U.S. Constitution has a principle of separation between church and state, as outlined in the First Amendment's Establishment Clause, which prohibits the government from establishing an official religion or favoring one religion over another."
www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
Holy shit.
Trump's Freedom 250 Christian nationalist hijack of America's birthday includes WHITEWASH of SLAVERY.
"Thomas Jefferson's view of slavery, 'is an interpretive choice meant to advance a particular vision of the American founding.'"

If you've listened to or looked at any of the materials the regime is putting out there about "Freedom 250" (the "patriotic" "celebrations" of America's 250th birthday), you can tell that they're both following the script (i.e., orders).
I told the Times that if Trump installs the statue of Rodney at Freedom Plaza then they should rename it the Freedom For Some Plaza but they didn't run that quotation.
really tired of these reports that treat Trump's magical thinking about the "National Garden of American Heroes" as reality.
Here's another example, from USA Today.

notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich
Great work here from CAP
Together, the cumulative amount fossil fuels have received from the federal government since 1918 totals an estimated $549 billion—nearly three times what renewables have received at $195 billion.

AP SCOOP: The official bipartisan "America 250" birthday celebration has received only $25 million. But the Trumpy alternative facts version, aka "Freedom 250" planning car races and UFC fights, seems to be rather ... well funded.. apnews.com/article/amer...
A week after The Washington Post purges its environmental reporting, its ed board reaches an ignorant, humiliating new low in editorials:
The Trump EPA is right not to uphold the Clean Air Act because it should ask Congress to pass a new Clean Air Act. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... 1/
Energy Secretary Chris Wright says wind and solar were "a cost center" and "not actually helpful" for the East Coast grid during Winter Storm Fern. He ignored renewables' year-round value, the Texas solar-battery boom, and winter risks to fossil fuels:

I’m in a House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations hearing RIGHT NOW demanding answers about why taxpayer dollars are being diverted from recognizing our country’s history to instead bankroll political propaganda.
Trump is turning our country’s 250th birthday into a pay-to-play scheme for billionaires.
Our statement: Interior Secretary Must Testify to Congress About Whitewashed History at National Parks, Sale of Access to Trump www.citizen.org/news/interio...
Those who give $1 million or more will get invitations to a “private Freedom 250 thank you reception” hosted by Trump, with a “historic photo opportunity.” Those who give $2.5 million or more also are being offered speaking roles at an event in Washington on July 4. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/08/u...
SCOOP: Freedom 250 — the group launched by Trump to oversee projects including the @UFC fight on the WH lawn & his arch overlooking DC — is offering access to him for donors who give $1M.
For $2.5M, donors are being offered the chance to speak at the national July 4 celebration. 🎁🔗
Trump's "Freedom 250" group promises that anyone who gives them $2.5 million will have a chance to speak on July 4 at the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It's exciting to consider how many rich whack jobs may take this chance to air their takes to the nation.
The idea of a bill rendering people deportable for following religious law should make every Jew ill
really, truly, dafuq
an abundance of milquetoast
