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

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
In the 1930s, Harry Chandler's LA Times ran regular columns on eugenics. The Human Betterment Foundation (backed by Chandler) included PSAs like this one. By showing a clipped vine from infecting a tree, it endorsed forced vasectomies to stop impure bloodlines from undesirables.
Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home.
14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace — without being treated like a threat.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Hard to believe Lito was paralyzed by a blood clot two months ago. Now he is in monkey kitten mode.
ProPublica received eight handwritten letters from children who have been held at the detention center that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was recently released from.
We'll let their words speak for themselves.
A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.
This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.
Not one dime for this cruelty.

Sunday night is a great time to tell your Representatives to impeach Kristi Noem.
Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured?
Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.
Boom!
NEWS: LA Lakers Co-Owner’s Firm Linked to Proposed $80 Million ICE Warehouse Deal in Texas — a massive facility that could detain up to 9,500 people.
In a jaw-dropping post, Trump vowed to impose new voter ID requirements ahead of the midterm elections “whether approved by Congress or not.” Yes, you read that correctly. Not pass a law. Not persuade lawmakers. Just… do it.
This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
🚨BREAKING: Puerto Rico has been part of the United States since 1898, and people still act confused that Puerto Ricans are American.
States that joined after Puerto Rico:
• Oklahoma — 1907
• New Mexico — 1912
• Arizona — 1912
• Alaska — 1959
• Hawaii — 1959
Yet somehow this is still news to folks.
AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are building—and have built—a black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.
I heard someone pronouncing it "Crispy Gnome" and now I can't unhear it.
In such times it's the small joys.
BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Verge headline: Death is the Policy 2025 Year in review Photo illustration depicts RFK Jr surrounded by disease particles

BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.
Stunning new revelation: Epstein hung out almost exclusively with guys who had black boxes where their heads should be.
my “yes, even the empty margins of our files are redacted” t-shirt answers a lot of questions already answered by my t-shirt
Alright. Everyone can stop now. We have a winner.
Say it with me: IMPEACH PAM BONDI
Every member of Congress voted to release the Epstein files except for one holdout. The DOJ blew the legal deadline because they’re running cover for Trump. Bondi broke the law.
"Why is everyone SO OBSESSED with the Epstein Files," whined the guy who is in the Epstein Files.
