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.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

We need to find a way to talk about Black (women) candidates that is expansive enough to reckon with racism (misogynoir) while at the same time acknowledging those candidates are humans who sometimes make bad policy commitments or campaign choices

What’s gone on for the last few years isn’t working

The Terrifying New Era of American Imperialism

The military-industrial complex is flourishing under Trump, but that doesn't mean we can't be optimistic about the nation's future.

Oh... it's time to start watching Arkansas: Democrats are significantly ahead so far in a special election for a GOP-held legislative seat. If this is confirmed, it'd be Democrats' second flip so far this year.

White people (regardless of political division) are settling in to a future where they talk about 2016 & 2024 the way some segments of the south speak of an equally lost cause, but with absolutely none of the moral conviction.

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post β€” including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East β€” based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer β€” you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

US military says three of its troops killed in first Iran operation casualties Three U.S. service members have been killed and another five have been seriously wounded, in the first casualties of the unfolding U.S. operations against Iran, the U.S. military said on Sunday.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable.

Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice.

The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

A Black Mom whose car got wrecked after the engine failed is pleading for help. She was working hard at different jobs non-stop from the age of 17, and was able to recently become a CNA. She doesnt want to lose her job, her car is a lifeline for her. Let’s each give $1 to help her reach her goal.

Two women arrested for kissing in Uganda after neighbors reported them - LGBTQ Nation One activist says they could get life in prison under the nation's repressive anti-homosexuality law.

This kind of repression is not a traditional part of African culture. It has been pushed on the continent aggressively by American evangeicals.
