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.

Our troops are dying this isn’t a video game. The White House is posting so-called β€œhype” videos that mix real footage from the war in Iran with clips from movies and video games like Call of Duty. It’s an absolute disgrace.

INTRODUCTION
Courts cannot tell the President what to say. Courts cannot tell the
President what not to say. They cannot tell the President how to handle
national security clearances. And they cannot interfere with Presidential
directives instructing agencies to investigate racial discrimination that
violates federal civil rights laws. Nor can they interfere with Presidential directives instructing agencies to review contracts or regulate government building access based on those same racial-discrimination
and national-security concerns especially where such directives have
not yet been implemented.
Ignoring those constraints, the district courts below bent over
backwards to facially invalidate every section of four Executive Orders
without considering their plainly constitutional aspects and applications.
This appeal of those sweeping decisions is not about the sanctity of the American law firm; it is about lower courts encroaching on the constitutional power of the President to discuss and address invidious racial discrimination, national security risks, and other problems with
certain law firms.

This appeal of those sweeping decisions is not about the sanctity of the American law firm; it is about lower courts encroaching on the constitutional power of the President to discuss and address invidious racial discrimination, national security risks, and other problems with certain law firms.

In recognition of those problems, many law firms agreed to address
their practices and commit to providing pro bono work in the public
interest.1 These consolidated appeals concern four Executive Orders
("EOs") through which the President addressed risks from four other law
firms: Perkins Coie LLP ("Perkins"), Jenner & Block LLP ("Jenner"), Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr LLP ("WilmerHale"), and Susman Godfrey LLP ("Susman"). The substantially similar EOs directed a
review of plaintiffs to ensure that the Federal Government's dealings
with them are consistent with our Nation's civil rights laws, national
security, and other public interests. In response, plaintiffs raised facial
challenges under the First, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments. Four district
courts issued permanent injunctions against the four EOs. That was
error, because the EOs are well within the Presidential prerogative.

NEW: After starting the week by announcing it was dropping the appeals, two political appointees at DOJ filed the government's brief backing Trump's law firm executive orders, previously declared unconstitutional by four different district court judges.

Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.

β€œWe never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.

March is #WomensHistoryMonth.
Before 1974, women needed permission from their spouse to get a credit card or loan.

In 1972, Rep Bella Savitsky Abzug introduced the Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibiting lending institutions from discriminating on the basis of sex or marital status.

Kristi Noem Broke Trump’s No. 1 Rule Never, ever, EVER blame the boss.

Kristi Noem has told many, many lies on Donald Trump’s behalf. Ironically, the statement that made him mad enough to fire her seems like it might have been the truth.

ICE Wants to Buy Warehouses for Mass Detention. Communities Are Fighting Back. People across the political spectrum are realizing these federal detention warehouses will harm their communities.

The overdue firing of Kristi Noem will have no bearing on the continued plans for unwanted warehousing of human beings across the country.
The spotlight should focus on these warehouses (de facto concentration camps) during Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing.

Secretary Noem’s time at DHS is riddled with ICE and CBP abuses, racial profiling, free speech violations, and more. Her departure is the direct result of public outrage β€” but the anti-immigrant policies and masterplans devised by White House aide Stephen Miller remain.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.
