Markwayne Mullen, Trump's new DHS Secretary pick, is one of Congress' most active stock traders.
He reportedly entered Congress with $12M & has reportedly grown his wealth to $65M.

Good reporting by @lorenzofb.bsky.social to confirm what we reported as a theory last week: That the highly sophisticated iPhone hacking toolkit known as Coruna, found in the hands of Russian spies and now criminal hackers, is an out-of-control US-government-funded creation.

For nearly two decades, Trump has been lying about elections and threatening the democratic process. A small group of us has been sounding this alarm, but far too few people in positions of power have been willing to act. The result is that things have only gotten worse.
Yesterday, I confronted Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, for planning the January 6 attack…then I got taken away by Capitol police.
The attacks on Iran cannot be used as an excuse by the president to manipulate the midterms. bit.ly/40IBng0

Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.

Great read from @aselrod.bsky.social on Trump lingering lovingly over descriptions of violence and death.
"This obsession with the body—and particularly with the body as the subject of serious injury, even death—is a hallmark of right-wing politics in America."

Narges Bajoghli, Iranian American expert on Iranian politics at Johns Hopkins: "This war will not lead to any kind of freedom or liberation for the Iranian people...We are very much on the precipice of this spiraling out of control." #IranInFocus
