Reject Mullin for DHS — America Needs Competence, Not Loyalty I urge you to oppose the confirmation of Markwayne Mullin as Secretary of the United States Department of Homeland Security. DHS oversees critical agencies including FEMA, the Coast Guard, TSA, ICE, and Customs and Border Protection. With roughly 240,000 employees and responsibilities ranging from disaster response to counterterrorism and border security, the department requires experienced leadership capable of exercising sound judgment and ensuring accountability. Senator Mullin does not bring relevant experience in national security, law enforcement leadership, emergency management, or intelligence. His public positions also raise serious concerns about oversight and accountability. After the killings of Minneapolis residents Renée Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents earlier this year, incidents that sparked national outrage and federal investigations, many lawmakers called for stronger safeguards and oversight of immigration enforcement.  Senator Mullin instead opposed additional restrictions on federal agents, stating he would not “handcuff the agents from doing their job.” At a time when public trust depends on transparent investigations and responsible oversight, this approach raises troubling questions about how he would lead the department. The Secretary of Homeland Security must protect both national security and constitutional rights. The Senate’s duty of advice and consent exists to ensure that Cabinet leaders possess the experience, independence, and judgment required for such responsibility. For the sake of public safety, constitutional governance, and trust in federal law enforcement, I urge you to vote NO on the confirmation of Senator Markwayne Mullin as Secretary of Homeland Security.

The GOP is aggressively becoming more Nazi every day, literally sharing talking points, conspiracy theories, and supporting people who love Hitler, but we keep treating them like a normal party, and you have some Democrats who still preach civility and bipartisanship.

Amazing.

Kimmel Goes Nuclear on Newsmax Host for Trying to Get Him Fired “How does this not embarrass them?” Kimmel asked of the network.

It would be cool if prominent figures and journalists aggressively called out right wing propagandists instead of routinely leaving the task to late night comedians and satirists

End Operation Epic Fury Now Before More Lives Are Lost Congress must immediately exercise its constitutional authority to end Operation Epic Fury. This reckless war of choice was launched without congressional authorization, without clearly defined objectives, and without an exit strategy. Seven Americans have already died for a strategy that has completely failed. Trump expected quick regime change after killing the Ayatollah on February 28th. Instead, Iran named a new supreme leader and the regime didn't collapse. Now the administration can't even explain what we're fighting for. Defense Secretary Hegseth says it's not regime change while Trump told TIME he wants a "Western-friendly government" installed. Senator Mark Warner noted the stated goals have changed four or five times in ten days. This incoherence is getting people killed. The war is destabilizing the Middle East, damaging the global economy, and wasting resources while Trump searches desperately for an exit. He told CBS the war was "very complete, pretty much" before the Pentagon contradicted him hours later. Iran's government won't fall when they have this war to rally support. Every day this continues without congressional action makes you complicit in an unconstitutional conflict run by someone who has publicly admitted he wants out.

In latest blunder, Trump DOJ spent months emailing the wrong address demanding Oklahoma’s voter rolls It’s the latest in a continuing string of embarrassing missteps in the Trump DOJ’s nationwide voter roll campaign.

Release ALL Epstein files. Impeach, Remove Trump & Bondi. NO ONE is above the law. Release all the Epstein files. Arrest the pedophiles. No one is above the law-- not princes, not presidents. Pam Bondi broke the law by delaying the release of Epstein Files and redacting them to protect the guilty while exposing the identities of survivors. The files contain grave accusations of predatory sexual behavior by Donald Trump toward minors. Bondi, the DOJ and the FBI have engaged in a disgraceful coverup. All complicit need to be punished; Bondi and Patel must be removed from their positions. As for Trump, Trump is a convicted felon, a pedophile, and a war criminal. He must be impeached. IN ANY OTHER ERA, THE UNVEILING OF DETAILED FBI INTERVIEWS WITH A SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVOR RECOUNTING THE ABUSE SHE SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF THE SITTING PRESIDENT WHEN SHE WAS AGED 13 WOULD MAKE SOME KIND OF DENT IN THE NATIONAL DISCOURSE. If Congress does not act, the truth will come out other ways, including via international investigations, and the role of the GOP in obstructing and protecting those complicit in an international sex trafficking and child rape ring will stain your names forever. This issue is not going to go away. DO YOUR JOB.

Sen. John Cornyn flips on the filibuster to pass SAVE America Act as Trump weighs endorsement Cornyn, who spent years defending the filibuster, is locked in a competitive GOP runoff in Texas against Ken Paxton, who has aligned with Trump on the issue.

After Cornyn and Paxton were forced into a runoff, I said we should watch just how far Senator Cornyn is willing to put his head up trump's ass for his endorsement. Now he's flipping on the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act and disenfranchise millions of voters. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

Trans Children are not a Threat Vote against any legislation banning transgender students from participating in school sports. These bills are a cynical political strategy that scapegoats vulnerable children, not a response to any real problem. The numbers tell the story. In Michigan, out of 175,000 student athletes across 890 school districts, only two transgender girls received waivers to compete in 2025. The following school year, zero waivers were even requested. There is no evidence that transgender athletes dominate competitions or disproportionately win. Research from California and Connecticut shows that where transgender athletes compete according to their gender identity, overall participation in girls' sports has actually increased. Transgender youth represent less than 1% of the population. They're not a threat to fairness in athletics. If you genuinely care about girls' sports, address the real issues: funding disparities, resource gaps, and unequal media attention compared to boys' programs. These bans violate Title IX protections and state civil rights statutes while subjecting all female athletes to invasive scrutiny. Transgender students are asking for the same thing every student deserves: the chance to participate in school activities and belong. Don't use children as political pawns. https://hbtwfund.substack.com/p/how-trans-kids-became-americas-new
