DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” 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.

The grift continues.

All of our living presidents who still have a sense of decency gathered to honor Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Respect recognizes respect.

Thank you, Amna, for using the words, "President Trump's war with Iran" in tonight's News Hour.
Any other wording hardly assigns gravity to the real choice he made in entering this unnecessary war.

Last year, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests β€” a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a β€œminimum amount of force.” You can judge for yourself.

This delivery driver throws treats to all the dogs on his route to see if they can catch. Spoiler alert: some of them definitely cannot. Still 13/10 for all (TT: jezzyvi)

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem is out, Trump says, after controversial tenure President Donald Trump announced the decision on social media and said Noem would be replaced with Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.).

Kristi Noem will go down as the most shamelessly incompetent and cruel Homeland Security Secretary in U.S. history.

Firing her is not enough. NOEM, GREG BOVINO, and STEPHEN MILLER all must be held accountable for terrorizing and endangering the American people.

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

America’s teachers are working two jobs and barely getting by | CNN Business Ashley loves her day job teaching math, reading and science to fifth-graders in Washington. But like many other teachers, Ashley relies on a side hustle or two to get by.

Our members are being squeezed as salaries lag behind rising prices. Educators shouldn’t be priced out of the communities we serve. When we’re forced out, students lose. This is exactly why we've launched #FightForAffordability. www.cnn.com/2026/03/02/b...

Virginia Supreme Court clears way for voters to counter GOP gerrymanders The decision restores the referendum and allows election preparations to move forward immediately.

Good news!

The Virginia Supreme Court ruled Wednesday, for the second time, that voters can decide whether the state can redraw its congressional map β€” clearing the way for a referendum that, if successful, could help counter GOP gerrymanders nationwide. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Despite Promises, Veterans Affairs Department Cut Thousands of Roles for Doctors and Nurses

Got it. There's plenty of funding to send troops into harm’s way, but not to take care of their health afterwards. This is shameful.

NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

a white orb covered in black speckles and spots rests on a dark sofa cushion. the left side is a dalmatian’s face, tucked in toward her haunches with her thin tail wrapped up to hug her face. she is looking at the camera with one sleepy brown eye.

This is Koyuki. Please do not disturb her. She's in ice cream scoop mode right now. Needs to focus. 12/10 (IG: fuji_bull)

KAMLAGER-DOVE: At any point in your tenure at DHS, have you had sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski?

NOEM: You're peddling tabloid garbage

K: You should be able to answer if someone asks if a federal official is sleeping with their subordinate

NOEM: It's garbage

K: It's about your judgment
