Trump @realDonald Trump I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at "Homeland."
βKristi Noem will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are not announcing until Saturday because I just literally made it up and now my aides will have to figure out what the fuck it will actually do.β

βSenator Susan Collinsβ¦ βPassing this resolution now would send the wrong message to Iran and to our troops.ββ
Is that message that we are a country that holds the law above the whims of a wannabe dictator? Seems like that would be a good message to send to our troops right now.
Everyone should read Trumpβs long word salad quoted in full by @hcrichardson.bsky.social when he was asked why the government has not been able to help get Americans out of the war zone.
Joe Biden was forced out of the presidency for less.
Well would you look at that

COLBY: I'm not gonna talk about that issue
GOODLANDER: ... You swore an oath to our Constitution
COLBY: I'm not going to be drawn out on an issue of political contention
AND THIS WAS SUSAN COLLINS' EXACT ARGUMENT FOR VOTING TO LET TRUMP DO WHATEVER HE WANTS!

Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table?
We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.
McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Pete Hegseth is not "a former member of the press at Fox," as MS NOW just said.
Fox News is not journalism. It's anti-journalism. It makes people less informed than they were before.
Hegseth is a former fascist propagandist who has moved on to become a war criminal.

I completely agree with Governor Mills. We need to nominate the most electable candidate!
The craziest thing about Kristi Noem isnβt that she shot her dog. Itβs that she actually thought it would help her politically to tell people about it .

The administration is setting up the idea that anyone opposing Trump is engaging in "domestic terrorism," as Trump's EO set out. (This is a way to get around the specific definition of "domestic terrorist" in U.S. law.)
