Markwayne Mullin has defended fatal ICE shootings, pushed extreme anti-immigrant policies, denied the 2020 election, and shown reckless judgment unfit for leadership. Tell your Senators: Vote NO on confirming him as DHS Secretary!

There are far too many loopholes that public officials can use to enrich themselves at the expense of the people they were elected to serve. I helped introduce legislation to establish enforceable ethics standards and close loopholes on stock trading and lobbying for public officials.

"CBS Owner Paramount Pushed Pro-Israel Panels While Squashing One on Gaza" Read Justin Baragona’s latest scoop from Paramount land. Plus, the NYT gets caught sanewashing Trump again, and Tony Dokoupil's CBS News rating flop.

Report this idiotic, misleading post please

HANDS OFF: 1300 events NO KINGS 1: 2100 events NO KINGS 2: 2700 events NO KINGS 3: 3000 events and counting Let’s make history. Again.

I believe Tulsi Gabbard was caught in a lie today. WARNER: “Do you have the answer to why the president was knowing about this affidavit before it was even served?” GABBARD: “I’m not aware that the president knew...” WARNER: “Then why was he sending you to Fulton County?”

To all the Senate Republicans trying to make the SAVE Act happen, let me say it again: We are NOT 👏 going 👏 to 👏 pass 👏your 👏 voter suppression bill. Period.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

We should be proud of our Democrats in Congress today. They went on national television and called Pam Bondi a liar. Exactly how it should be done. “We want her under oath because we do not trust her. Why don't we trust her? Because she's a liar.” - @maxwellfrost.bsky.social This is wild.

This is so awesome. I have a new favorite clip…

Clever. These are popping up all across the USA.

TUCKER: “Was Iran on the verge of getting a nuclear weapon?” JOE KENT: “No. And they weren’t in June either.”

GARCIA: What's important right now for us is that we hold Pam Bondi accountable for the subpoena. Everything after that, whether it's contempt, whether it's anything else, all follows. She's got to show up for her deposition.

Pam Bondi is holding a “briefing” with the Oversight Committee. I believe she’s doing this to evade her subpoena. It’s structured exactly like a hearing except she’s NOT under oath & there’s no transcription or video. We just walked out. We’ll see her at her sworn deposition.

FROST: We asked Pam Bondi multiple times, are you going to come and speak with us under oath? She would not say yes. We want her under oath because we do not trust her. Why don't we trust her? Because she's a liar.

Stansbury: I just walked out of the briefing room, and what is absolutely clear is that Pam Bondi has no intention of complying with the law and the subpoena that we've issued for her to be deposed under oath in front of the committee. They said, we've released what we're going to release.

This is the quintessence of narcissistic sociopathy. And just plain stupidity. From @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

It’s not happening, grandpa. You get a grip. How many times do you have to be told no? Like all sexual predators, he refuses to take no for an answer.

LEE: I asked Chairman Comer, if Pam Bondi did not come, would he force her to or if he would move for contempt hearings as he did for other people who did not respond to our subpoena? Instead of answering as an adult, he said that I was “bitching”

About 70% of the U.S. economy runs on consumer spending. But as wealth concentrates at the top, the richest 10% can’t spend enough to sustain it — while everyone else can’t afford to. Reminder that trickle-down economics simply doesn’t make sense. It’s a hoax.

Another jump in gas prices Per AAA: Drivers now pay an average of $3.84/gallon That’s up from $2.92/gallon from a month ago

No Kings Day will be too big to ignore.

A civil case brought by Epstein survivors may be close to settlement. Tonight we dig into the allegations & why this could be extremely important-& unwanted in the White House-news. Follow the money! open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

There is literally no excuse for John Fetterman. He has betrayed every single person who's voted for him. Seriously, Fetterman, resign or switch parties.

Absolutely insane. We were literally the leading economy in the world after the pandemic and Trump and this stupid Republican Congress torched it.

It’s time to make Citizens United history. Montana — and now California — can lead the way. Here's how. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-california-can-neuter-citizens

Right now there are children being held in ICE concentration camps in the United States. This is a crime against humanity. They must be freed.

Lapdog Lindsey scolds our allies for doing a bad job of keeping track of Iran’s ability to make nuclear weapons. Someone tell this simpering toady that it was the *United States* that pulled out of the treaty with Iran that allowed inspectors in that country.

🤷🏼

Check this out. The DOJ redacted a conversation showing Trump never threw Epstein out of Mar a Lago.

Thou shalt read the Epstein files out loud during the Senate's SAVE ACT filibuster.

WOW: DOJ redactions hid key details about Trump’s Epstein ties — and Rep. Dan Goldman just revealed what they were trying to cover up. In the unredacted document shown today by Goldman, we can now read the full notes from a 2009 conversation involving Jeffrey Epstein and Trump’s attorneys. 1/

Good job Denver!

NEW: Federal judge rules Trump Admin must provide to Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) “the administrative record underlying Secretary Hegseth's Censure Letter no later than April 15”

Here is what you need to know about the SAVE Act: 1. It started as a stunt by Mike Johnson to protect his speakership. 2. It has evolved into a massive voter suppression bill. 3. When it fails, Trump will escalate to something even more dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

KELLY: Do you think supporters of the president should be able to pay and receive his private national security briefings? RATCLIFFE: Regardless of what that document says, it didn't happen KELLY: This says, 'unfiltered updates.' Director Gabbard? GABBARD: I'm not familiar with that document

Ossoff: "The American people need to know that the president is fundraising for his political campaign and his PAC using images of American service members killed in action, and it's a disgrace"

Airports-long lines. Disaster response. Cybersecurity. DHS workers do critical jobs every day. But House GOP are prioritizing ICE raids over paying the people who protect Americans. The Rs voted 5x NOT to fund TSA, FEMA, USCG, Secret Service, cybersecurity. #FundDHSFreezeICE

OSSOFF: Your statement says that as a result of last summer's airstrikes, Iran's nuclear program was 'obliterated.' Correct? GABBARD: Yes O: The WH stated war was launched to 'eliminate the imminent nuclear threat' G: The only person who can determine what's an imminent threat is POTUS O: False

The grift continues...

It’s official: There are now 3,000 protests planned for No Kings Day. That means there will be more protests on March 28 than any previous day in American history. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Rand Paul: I don't think that kind of person sends the right message to ICE agents.. I don't know how we get that from a guy who says he'll jump over the dais, and people deserve to be punched in the mouth and caning and dueling is a good example for the modern congress.

Markwayne Mullin is an election denier and today he wouldn’t rule out federal officers at polling locations, saying they could be deployed for a “specific threat.” Not new for him. If alarm bells are ringing, you’re paying attention.

WARNER: You omitted a paragraph about Midnight Hammer 'obliterating' Iran's nuclear capability that's in your written report from your oral opening GABBARD: I recognized the time was running long WARNER: So you chose to omit the parts that contradicts the president

It’s spelled “Strait,” you dumbass.

Rand Paul: “I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force.” The entire confirmation hearing in one sentence.

Mullin is so clearly unqualified to run DHS that any senator who votes to put this man in charge of any federal agency, let alone DHS, is announcing their own disqualification for office.

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Dueling with two consenting adults is still there RAND PAUL: It's been illegal for 170 years! There's no precedent for legal dueling

MARKWAYNE MULLIN: That was an official trip that was classified PETERS: Where was that trip? MULLIN: I just said it's classified, sir PETERS: So where did you 'smell war'? MULLIN: I just said -- it's classified
