Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin will replace Kristi Noem as DHS secretary at the end of the month.
Mullin has vigorously supported the SAVE America Act, spread misinformation about the 2020 election results and defended the ICE agent who fatally shot a Minneapolis woman in January.
Some children in Dilley were so distraught they cut themselves or talked about suicide, parents told ProPublica.
They said kids lost their appetites after finding worms and mold on their food, had trouble sleeping, and were constantly sick.
None of this deterred Chambers. His firm grew, and Anita Earls joined in the late 1980s. The two worked together on crucial voting rights cases. In the coming years, Earls would find herself defending the victories that Chambers had earned in the past. www.facebook.com/share/p/1H3D...
Julius Chambers, a life in the legal struggle for civil rights, an image of a smiling Black man with glasses and a mustache.
I just read a biography of Julius Chambers, a civil rights legend and a mentor for Anita Earls in North Carolina. It’s an amazing story, and I can’t believe I didn’t know it until now. 🧵 #ncpol

it’s so rare to hear US politicians say something compassionate and human like this
The U.S. military is not any president’s plaything. The Constitution puts the responsibility on Congress alone to decide whether and when to take on the profound costs of war.
Many of y’all asked how you can support and donate to our female athletes and the celebrations,,, so I created a Go Fund Me. I’m hopeful this can have an impact beyond the weekend and help those that represent the best of the US

No real IRB approval *and* it was “routed straight from the director’s office to grant management officials who approved it, a process that took only 10 days. An ordinary grant review process can take upward of a year.”
