As a congressman, Markwayne Mullin made not one but two solo trips to Afghanistan, ignoring State Department warnings so he could play action hero.

He’s a former amateur MMA fighter, not a veteran.

If he’d been captured or injured, American troops would’ve had to risk their lives to bail him out.

Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Listen to 30 seconds of Australian Senator Nick McKim rip apart US and Israel.

Officials at DHS removed career staff at CBP after they refused orders to mislabel surveillance records to block release under FOIA.

Those forced out include CBP’s top privacy officer & FOIA director after a lawful disclosure angered political leadership.

Looks like @shawnforcongress.bsky.social is performing very well tonight in the special election for MTG's seat. He'll be in the runoff in early April. Give him a follow and help boost his campaign.πŸ’™

On C-SPAN's Washington Journal, VoteVets senior advisor Max Rose slammed the Trump administration for its "strategic incompetence," warning that their irresponsible approach has dragged us into an unconstitutional war with Iran, lacking both a plan for the aftermath and a clear way out.

50% of Americans can’t afford health care, and millions more have medical debt.

It’s time for universal health care β€” no one should go broke because they get sick.

Former DOGE staffer Justin Fox testified that his job at the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) was flagging grants tied to β€œDEI” so they could be canceled under Trump’s executive order.

One problem: he admitted he didn’t actually know what DEI meant!

Pentagon Should Focus on Defense Priorities, not Lavish Dinners, After Historic $93.4B β€œUse-It-or-Lose-It” September Defense officials typically enter the end of each fiscal year with at least one goal in mind: spend the rest of the military’s budget by any means necessary.

"The military also bought $6.9 million of lobster tail this September. Again, it was not an isolated incident; it’s been a theme of Hegseth’s spending so far."

Trump referred to Carney as β€˜future Governor of Canada.’ It’s not the first time he’s called him that Donald Trump called Mark Carney as the 'future Governor of Canada' on Tuesday. It's not the first time he's referred to the prime minister as 'governor.'

Trump just called PM Carney the β€œfuture Governor of Canada” again. Not a slip. Not a joke.

A pattern and it infuriates me!
The 51st state rhetoric isn’t going away. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Kim: The vast majority of what I hear in these classified briefings can be said publicly, but they intentionally do this to as a tactic to be able to prevent the American people from hearing and questioning what it is that they're doing.

They know that the American people do not want a war

Andy Biggs has had years to show up for AZ-05.

Instead, we’ve gotten extremism and obstruction.

I’m running to replace him with leadership rooted in care, common sense, and real results.

With ~70% in, Harris leads with 38.3% to Trump-endorsed Republican Clay Fuller’s 34.5%.

Runoff set for April 7. A major warning sign for MAGA.

While Trump launches us into a new forever war, he’s quietly preparing to take over our elections at home and rig the midterms in his favor.

He knows he can’t win on the merits, so he’s preparing to cheat. We won’t let him get away with it.
