Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.
And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.

From 1941 to 1952 in the UK, the top rate of income tax was 98%. A luxury goods purchase tax introduced in 1940 later rose to 100%.
Result? The share of incomes captured by the richest 0.1% fell from 7% in 1937 to just over 1% in 1975. That's what we need today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.
Are we still looking for waste, fraud, and abuse? I think I found some.
@spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social What is this BS first thing in the morning. Where is the news? At 6am play the news. I’ll go on apple if I want a podcast
I like the way some countries have Crisis of Confidence procedures that automatically trigger a vote for new government. WE NEED THAT HERE! We'll never be safe from GOP majority in government.
Lewis Bollard @Lewis_Bollard Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates. Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023. Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state. The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices. Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at http://senate.gov and http://house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.
This is hideous and horrible, and the people pushing for it deserve to spend the rest of their lives in a cage.
Lindsey Graham is a great reason why there should be term limits.
This guy has been shilling for every war for nearly 25 years.
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER.
Financial documents compiled by ProPublica reveal a myriad of relationships among Trump and his team that could create conflicts of interest — including ties between appointees and industries their agencies frequently interact with.

@sanders.senate.gov on the opportunity cost of war: "All over this country, people are sleeping out on the street, can't afford housing, can't afford healthcare. We are the richest country in the history of the world... We need to provide a decent standard of living for every man, woman and child."
Did you notice Trump didn't take off his fucking hat when the dead soldiers went by? And, just BTW, what's wrong with Pete Hegseth, calling enlisted men and women just trying to do their jobs "warfighters?" That's comic book shit, man.
Her bank records, which are in the files, showed that Noel received thousands of dollars in cash and Zelle payments in the months before Epstein died.
“The Post also reported that on the morning of Epstein’s death on Aug. 10, Noel searched the term “latest on Epstein in jail” twice – once at 5:42 a.m. and again at 5:52 a.m., about 40 minutes before the other guard, Michael Thomas, found Epstein.
.
The official reports into that incident show that Epstein initially told prison officials that his cellmate had tried to kill him after extorting him for money.”

Julie K. Brown in Miami Herald … Noel’s bank flagged a $5,000 cash deposit she made to her Chase Bank account on July 30, 2019 – a week after Epstein was found in his cell in what prison officials concluded was a suicide attempt on July 23, 2019.
“In her second interview, she claimed that Epstein either flew or drove her from South Carolina to New York or New Jersey when she was between 13 and 15 years old. ‘She was introduced to someone with money, money…it was Donald Trump,’ the FBI report said.”

The eventual Nuremberg-style trial of Pete Hegseth for war crimes is going to be must-see TV.
I’m so tired of bad people getting away with doing bad things.
They're going to write books about all the big brain moves of this gang of imbeciles and among them will be "Spending a year trying to kill renewable energy and then launching a war that sends oil prices soaring"
When this happened at Bear Stearns in 2007 two days later the bank collapsed. If Blackrock follows a similar path we are headed into a global meltdown of all major financial markets. www.reuters.com/business/bla...
Iran retaliated with missile and drone bombardments against U.S. bases and allied territory, targeting military facilities across the Gulf, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. One Iranian drone killed six American service members at a U.S. command center in Kuwait. Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. “I guess,” he says. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
Donald Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal. The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to put out a joint intelligence statement on Friday to state and local authorities alerting them of a heightened threat due to the ongoing war in Iran, a senior DHS official said. The bulletin, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, details 'elevated threats by the government of Iran to US military and government personnel and facilities, Jewish and Israeli institutions and their perceived supporters, and Iranian dissidents and other anti-regime activists in the United States.' 'Radicalized individuals with a variety of ideological backgrounds also may see this conflict or other geopolitical events as a justification for violence,' the report continues. The five-page bulletin blocked by the White House provides specific details on how Iranian proxies may carry out attacks across the country. One section explains how local law enforcement can respond to this type of violence. The official title is 'A Public Safety Awareness Report: Elevated threat in the United States during US-Iran conflict'. Homeland Security broke protocol and gave the White House a heads-up about the nationwide bulletin hours before it was set to be released. Top Trump officials ordered it placed on ‘hold’. The White House did not deny blocking the terror bulletin in a statement to the Daily Mail.
Time: Asked if Americans should be worried abt attacks at home: I guess.
Daily Mail: The White House blocked release of FBI/NCTC warning of elevated risks.
