Markwayne Mullin is an incompetent. Not because he doesn't have a bachelor's degree; because he does not have common sense, ethics, morals & and the instinct of a duck to come in out of the rain.

I’d give a pass to all who voted for Rubio, simply because he was far more qualified than the other nominees. Voting against everyone would have given Trump another talking point without changing the results.

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.

For once, an issue has bipartisan support: body cameras in Tennessee prisons. Someone opposes it: the department of corrections.
Why?
They said it will cost millions. But CoreCivic has offered to pay. (and estimates the cost of the pilot $350k).

The Tennessee GOP leadership is clearly working AGAINST the interests of Tennessee citizens!

At AG's request, GOP leaders back bill to block challenges of new laws Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti, whose office is responsible for defending new laws in court, is behind the bill aimed at making challenges harder.

With Republican lawmakers upset over certain legal challenges to state laws/actions, GOP leadership is pushing a bill that makes it harder for residents to challenge unconstitutional legislative actions. From @evanmealins.bsky.social & @vivianejones.bsky.social: www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

Parole board recommends exonerating man convicted of Madison murder The board's recommendation now goes to Gov. Bill Lee.

It was a big day for the army of Thomas Clardy's supporters. This afternoon, the board of parole recommended Gov. Lee grant Clardy an exoneration. If you don't remember Clardy: In 2023, his 2007 murder conviction was overturned. Last January, it was reinstated and he had to go back.

Tr*mp didn’t fire Kristi Noem because she had 100 people killed in a flood. Not because Americans were murdered by ICE. Not fot arresting legal permanent residents and US citizens. Not for keeping children in fetid, rancid concentration camps.

Tr*mp fired her because she made him “look bad.”

Trump and his hateful, corrupt, unqualified Cabinet are the problem.

Once again, I voted NO on Republicans' blank check for DHS. The funding bill includes ZERO accountability measures to reign in ICE and CBP’s lawlessness, it’s unacceptable.

Communities are being terrorized, and people are dying, but Republicans refuse to put forth a serious proposal.

Sounds like Russia.

Another example of ICE illegally targeting the press!

ICE arrested Nashville journalist without warrant, attorneys say The journalist, Estefany Rodriguez, was taken to a detention center and remains there as of 3 p.m. March 5.

Did Paxton ever have a soul to sell?

‘That’s bad for him to say’: Trump puts Paxton on notice in Texas Senate primary The president appeared to scold the attorney general.

Ken Paxton absolutely sold his soul for MAGA and Trump is about to fuck him in the most high-profile way possible.

You hate to see it. And by that I mean you f'ing love it.

Selling the war. I’m outraged. Yes I know comic books helped sell WWII, hubs remembers seeing green faced Nazis in war comics post WWII, & yellow North Koreans during that war.

So gross!

He’ll likely be trying to catch a new Noem.

Of course he is. They seem to be inseparable. Good buddies and colleagues have to stick together. Share a blanket. Collaborate and commisserate. That kind of stuff.

Jesus. Fucking. Christ. On. Crutches.

World’s largest krill harvester at centre of row over ‘blue tick’ sustainability label Aker Qrill is facing criticism of its fishery management amid calls by environmentalists for curbs on Antarctic fishing of the keystone species

The fishing of krill is putting marine wildlife at risk.❗

To protect this fragile ecosystem, the fishery needs to be paused until stronger management and safeguards are in place.

🤡 “a little detour”

I think I just heard Trump describe the war in Iran as "a little detour"
