There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying… “Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas. "He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger." www.bbc.com/news/article...

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more. They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.

Had to doublecheck the date on this

I don’t want the national conversation to turn into “how should we fight this war with Iran?” when we shouldn’t be fighting Iran in the first place!

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue." A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

Oh no, I can't believe all those slurs forced themselves into that defenseless group chat!

And this is all he had to replace Noem.

Yup, that about sums it up.

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

I propose a new law: Anyone who expresses support for an offensive war shall immediately be drafted to fight in it. No exceptions and no exemptions for any reason, including disability or service as a government official in any office. Presidents and congressmen shall fight in any war they start.

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.

it's really bad for the world that half of the American political system has convinced itself that the concept of diplomacy is fake and gay

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

So Rubio explained that the US - Israel's weapons supplier, bank, and bodyguard - was utterly powerless to stop its tiny little state from attacking Iran. Just couldn't be done. Absolutely no leverage whatsoever. And so naturally, the only logical solution was for America to... also bomb Iran. 🙄🤦‍♀️

Far be it from me to judge anyone. However, I must say that I’m confused as to why this full blown criminal organization thinks that either the rapture or the second coming of Christ would be a positive experience for them.

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

Perhaps the President’s vulnerability to sexual blackmail is an existential threat to the United States.

Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

Be right back. Gonna punch my neighbor before he can punch me for getting punched by some other guy.

The DA in Minneapolis is investigating Bovino and others.

“The Department of Homeland Security admitted to Congress this month that it deported dozens of unauthorized immigrants who are protected under U.S. law because they were brought as children to the United States, according to a letter made public Thursday.” www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

“I am the son of the guy whose secret police force used to terrorize you, please install me or my friends, for democracy” is an amazing pitch from the shah’s son

"Her release follows months of advocacy from community members and political leaders of both parties. Yu has operated her two West Valley restaurants for years, building a reputation for greeting customers with humor and kindness. She has no criminal record." www.12news.com/article/news...

He did not have congressional approval to blow up boats in the Caribbean He did not have congressional approval to kill the survivors of those strikes He did not have congressional approval to invade Venezuela He did not have congressional approval to bomb Iran This is dictatorship. Impeach now

30 years. This video should be on every network.

Just your regularly scheduled share of this masterpiece by @tomgauld.bsky.social

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls. But since she asked, "Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States." www.militaryonesource.mil/education-em...

Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.

Our baby has been alive for two deadly, illegal campaigns by the U.S. to remove a foreign leader. She’s 7 weeks old.

I promise you that the government that murdered Alex Pretti and Renee Good does not give a flying fuck about the protests in Iran.

TURNS OUT, TRUMP WILL SEND OUR SONS TO WAR

My chief frustration in politics at all levels has always been the overwhelming apathy of the privileged The people who sit back & ignore the fray because they know that any & all outcomes will not affect them The is the state of the US Congress Their apathy will be their undoing And yours

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Just so we know, the US is chill with: 1. Kidnapping and jailing a leader of a country 2. Targeting and bombing a country’s leader and heads of their military Sovereignty is gone. Just putting that out into the ether for other countries’ leaders to do with that information what they like….

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering today.

“UCLA neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf has shown that deep reading, defined as sustained immersion in a text, builds the cognitive circuits required for critical analysis, empathy and perspective-taking in ways that skimming, scrolling and short-form video simply cannot.”

Still, nobody on the right will care about the contradiction. They will only care how it effects their bank account. And it will.

The U.S. Senate must be clear: no war with Iran.

No new wars.
