Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.
And he’s supposed to run America’s national security.
• No government security experience
• No law enforcement background
• No intelligence work
• No military service
• Not even a bachelor’s degree

This is a bs “apology” from Fox. They claim it was “inadvertent” - a lie. They aired old footage because they didn’t want to show Trump wearing his campaign hat during the ceremony. Then in this statement they STILL don’t show the correct footage of Trump. bsky.app/profile/aaro...

Streaming giants to help collect licence fee under BBC proposals — The Times and The Sunday Times
The BBC is proposing to head off the threat of “managed decline” with an array of radical reforms including requiring people who only use streaming services to pay the licence fee. In the broadcaster’...
“Executives are calling for the government to make “bold choices” for the next charter from 2028 — including requiring those who stream content from the likes of Amazon, Disney, Netflix or YouTube to have a TV licence.”
It won’t be a TV licence: it’ll be poll tax.

An article describing how a Norwegian immigrant married a US citizen but ICE detailed her and refused her insulin, causing blindness and almost killed her. In between, an ad from the common sense leadership fund lauds the president's "understanding of the art of the deal" and boosts his alleged pro-business agenda
The contrast is ghoulish. A "pro-business" president nearly killing people because cruelty is the point.

CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

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.
