I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.
The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.
It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

This is who unseated @jamaalbowmanny.bsky.social in 2024. This is how the pro Israel lobby controls the Democratic primaries.
Look at those numbers..
STAGGERING. SICKENING.
It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!
Voters don’t think the Democratic Party is too progressive, they think it’s weak and ineffective

Mayor Mamdani and President Trump meet in Oval Office.
I had a productive meeting with President Trump this afternoon.
I’m looking forward to building more housing in New York City.

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."
No amount of pretending will make JD Vance attractive enough for presidential voters.
Just like North Korea. Nbc overlords don't want to puss off the evil demented racist rapist felon war criminal
NBC appears to cut crowd’s booing of JD Vance from Winter Olympics broadcast www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
Donald Trump and J.D. Vance have RUINED America's reputation on the global stage.
We are now BOOED and LAUGHED at by the world!
Total disgrace.
NEW: Abigail Spanberger this afternoon ordered that all state agencies leave ICE's 287(g) program.
This means that the state police (and some other agencies) will no longer be empowered to detain and arrest people for ICE.
Big, big move by the governor within weeks of coming into office.
It's a weird situation to be in, but we need to distinguish between "what the law is" vs. "what SCOTUS says the law is." It may not feel like it, but these are two different things!
SCOTUS is now a purely political body—like a House of Lords, or as @jamellebouie.net put it, a Guardian Council. 1/3
Jeff Bezos had $75 million to bribe Trump for the Melania movie but cut 16,000 jobs at Amazon and is cutting more at the Washington Post today.
And somehow people *dont* want to campaign on the issue of evil billionaires.
SEN. @hickenlooper.senate.gov : “Death cards left behind by ICE agents — cards with white supremacist history left in detained immigrants' abandoned cars… Imagine finding your brother's empty car with one of these in the driver's seat. Cruelty for the sake of cruelty."

One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.
When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.
always bears repeating that this is NOT a financial decision. jeff bezos is worth over 250 billion dollars. he can afford to lose many millions and never even notice it. this is, at its core, a political and personal decision by bezos to destroy the post
Trump's planned migrant concentration camps are hitting hard resistance in red districts.
In Virginia's Hanover district, a +26 Trump vote in 2024, opposition is intense.
GOP leaders in other states are also opposed.
Voters are rejecting mass deportations.

Last yr Trump appointed judge Rebecca Tableson to 7th Circuit Court Of Appeals, is in the Epstein files
(she clerked for Justice Scalia)
her uncle Lawrence Krauss, a former professor at Arizona university resigned because of a sexual abuse scandal
Krauss emailed Epstein how great she is
The 19 Buddhist monks carrying a message of peace made it to Richmond on Monday, the 100th day of their walk from Texas to D.C.

Two agents involved in the shooting deaths of US citizens in Minneapolis are reportedly part of paramilitary tactical units—including ICE’s two Special Response Teams (SRT), CBP’s one SRT, and the Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC)—whose extreme tactics are generally reserved for war zones.
MeidasTouch sent a reporter to look for waste, fraud, and abuse behind the Melania movie. Here’s what we found.
Casar holds a 3 minute and 26 second moment of silence to represent the time in which DHS officers let Renee Good bleed out after she was shot
All that over some finger guns 👉
Tear gas is banned in international warfare, yet classified as a “riot control agent” that law enforcement can use for crowd control.
“It just doesn’t work well, and it hits the weakest people the most, and causes the most complications in them,” an anesthesiology professor at Duke University said.
Again, this is FALSE. Administrative warrants are NOT signed by an immigration judge (or any judge at all). They are generated and signed by ICE officers themselves with no external oversight whatsoever.
Here is a blank sample warrant. Note who signs off on it; an "immigration officer."
Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like
This was filmed today in Minneapolis Minnesota. ICE goons pull their handguns and detain observers. Meanwhile, the rapists of the Epstein Files run free.
ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
