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!

Hegseth: "The media wants you to think that just 19 days into this conflict, that we're somehow spinning toward an endless abyss or a forever war or a quagmire. Nothing could be further from the truth."

GARCIA: It was clear from the minute it started that the attorney general is trying to evade the subpoena. We asked her that question. Multiple members asked. She would not respond. She said she'll continue to follow the law. That is not a response

Warner: The president said he was shocked that the Iranians had moved to take over the strait of hormuz. Gabbard: I’m not aware of those remarks Warner: What about when he said he was surprised that Iran struck the adjacent gulf states. Gabbard: I’m not aware of those remarks

RAND PAUL: You offered no apology. And you offer no apology today, and no regrets MARKWAYNE MULLIN: I'm not apologizing for pointing out your character PAUL: You want people to know you supported a felonious, violent attack on me MULLIN: I did not say I supported it. I said I understood it.

Crockett: "What if someone from another country said 'We're gonna bomb America bc we have a warrant for the president's arrest bc of the child sex trafficking in the Epstein files.' Every single one of you sticking up for him right now would be screaming. The analysis has to be the same."

HASSAN: If directed by the president to take an action that would break the law, would you follow the law or the president? MULLIN: The president would never ask me to do that HASSAN: Well certainly everyday Americans who have served on juries would disagree with that

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

CROCKETT: Professor, are you saying you believe it's constitutional for the US to blow up people that are accused of being drug traffickers? "It's not going to be a yes or no answer" CROCKETT: I'm going to stop you there. It's unconstitutional.

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.

Mullin: “What I was simply pointing out is some of the rules that still apply to this body, for instance, dueling with two consenting adults, is still there.” Paul: “It’s been illegal for 170 years.”

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.

KING: Can you update us on Russian intel sharing w/ Iran? GABBARD: That answer would be for a closed session K: But is it occurring? G: What I can say is according to the Dept of War, any support Iran is receiving is not inhibiting operational effects K: That's the first cousin of 'yes,' I guess

I have respect for people that believe something, and hold fast to it regardless of pressure. Here are two such examples. Sometimes we need to reinforce good behavior

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.

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.

Rand Paul confronts Markwayne Mullin at his confirmation hearing to replace Kristi Noem about his history of advocating for violence to resolve political differences, including caning, fistfights, biting, dueling, and punching people in the face.

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

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

PETERS: Other than vacations, have you ever traveled to a foreign country? MULLIN: No P: No? Okay. Your FBI report shows travel to Georgia and Azerbaijan M: Are you referring to August 2021 when we get to get the Americans out of Afghanistan? P: So you have traveled. You just said you haven't

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”

“The war in Iran is benefitting Putin” What a coincidence

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.

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.

Epstein War will kill as all 🤬

Huge win. 👏 "He also ordered a resumption of international broadcasting, which the U.S. has used for decades to promote press freedom around the world." “Voice of America has never been more needed.” www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

People as far south as Nebraska could see the aurora, forecasters predict.

Thanks for this, @samsteindc.bsky.social. It's really hard to keep track.

This is so damn cool. ☄️ The sonic “boom” heard from Ohio to Kentucky was from a meteorite traveling 40,000 mph that exploded upon entering Earth’s atmosphere, strong enough to shake homes in several states.

Making Minnesota the best state for children and families starts with affordable child care.

Greer on tariffs: "You have Democrats saying 'strike this down and give the money back to all the corporations who are importing foreign goods made by foreign workers in foreign countries.' It's totally topsy turvy. I don't know why they want to give money back to all these companies."

Ohh that's RICH @ohhthatsrich.bsky.social

We didn't beat the mighty British two and a half centuries ago so that a reality TV star could reimpose the domestic use of the military on Americans.

Here's some fascinating and inspiring conversations from the recent Abortion in America conference in Louisiana, by abortion storytellers and reproductive justice leaders in the state.

NOPE!!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Members of Apache tribe take sacred land case to Supreme Court. "For the Apaches, Oak Flat holds a direct connection to their creator, making it a foundational part of their religious beliefs. Oak Flat is also the [location] of a large copper deposit." www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report...

NEW: Juliana Stratton has won the Illinois democratic Senate primary

1/2. He took the greatest military force in history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, & demanded the media lie about this & everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone mistakes this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength.
