Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

The US State Department is evacuating its employees and their families from the UAE and is telling people who were waiting for their passports they can pick them up from the Canadian Embassy.

What an amazing time to be alive.

As Rachel points out on her Instagram, notice that the guy at the front has a Totenkopf on his quarter zip.

That's why Maine Democrats should not let anyone displaying Nazi symbols near the United States Senate

They know that many people in the US will accept the killing of civilians overseas but will draw the line at high gas prices.

Noem is out largely due to massive public activism, especially in MN, Democrats expressing increasing interest in impeachment and investigations, and resulting media coverage.

Keep pushing. These people are not invincible or immune from public opinion.

Importantly they are planning to hire these people on 2 year contracts so what actually happened is they fired everyone so they could rehire them with worse working conditions and an easy revolving door with industry 🫩 πŸ”­

A friend reached out the State Department about departure assistance as Secretary Rubio suggested.

This is State's response.

"Thank you, and please stay safe.?"

Jacobs: The Trump administration doesn’t give a shit about the Iranian people… They are literally deporting people back to Iran who fled the brutal Iranian regime.

He doesn’t care about human rights anywhere β€” not here in the United States, not in Iran, not anywhere else.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting an exchange between Nancy Mace and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz during a hearing. Walz responds that he is the governor of Minnesota and not there to serve as a prop for her obsession. Below is a video still showing Walz seated at a hearing table with a nameplate reading β€œGovernor Walz.”

We’ll see about that! This is a favorite tactic of the Trump-era DOJ: pretending that the Executive branch has such Godlike authority that none of its decisions can ever be opposed or questioned. Bullshit, is what that is.

β€˜You Are Never Alone’ | How One Tribe Is Fighting Youth Suicide With Culture and Crisis Response BELLINGHAM, Wash. β€” On a summer night in 2019 near where the Salish Sea hugs the lands of the Lummi Nation reservation, 17-year-old Merandalee Jones was given a choice by the police: go home with her...

The Lummi Nation’s youth suicide prevention combines crisis intervention with cultural reconnection β€” monthly Coastal Jams, canoe pulling, and youth council programs that give young people a voice and a sense of belonging. A model adopted by 5 tribes in Wash. nativenewsonline.net/health/you-a...

A student I met last year, who had faced some of the same struggles and disadvantages that I have, asked me if I ever questioned whether I belonged at the table with people who hadn't faced such issues. I told her that I never experience those doubts professionally and that she shouldn't either.

US taxpayers will now have to pay $700 million a month in interest for every month Trump refuses to refund tariffs under the Supreme Court ruling. So much winning.

β€œPPS is now asking teachers and other staff to agree to two furlough days for an extra two days with no pay to try and plug a $10 million hole in this year’s budget.”

I am not in PPS, but it makes me wonder how many furlough days I’ve taken in my career…many. It’s obscene.
