Evil + Stupid is a deadly combination.
Markwayne Mullin is EVERYTHING that’s wrong with DC today, and putting the security of the homeland under his guidance – especially as Trump wages an illegal, open-ended war – is a terrible idea.
Tonight on The Briefing!
Gov. Tim Walz @governorwalz.mn.gov
Rep. Pat Ryan
Rep. Seth Moulton @moulton.house.gov
Rep. Maggie Goodlander @goodlander.house.gov
Rep. Jake Auchincloss @repauchincloss.bsky.social
The American people have been crystal clear: they want lower costs & no more wars.
6 Patriots already dead. Billions of YOUR tax dollars spent in less than a week.
Every Member who voted against this resolution just BETRAYED the people they claim to represent.
They don’t even pretend to have a reasonable case for launching a war that has already cost 6 American lives and billions of dollars.
Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Pete Hegseth have betrayed the American people.
Six young, Patriotic Americans were killed fighting for the country they love.
We should be honoring their sacrifice. Mourning with their families.
Instead, Trump is proving this war was never about protecting the American people.
It’s about his own ego.
@pkryan.bsky.social (D, NY-18) joined us to share his take on the U.S. war with Iran, the upcoming House vote on war powers, and what Congress's role should be right now.

The question is simple.
Do you want to send our tax dollars and our brave service members overseas for another regime-change war?
Every American should know what side their Representative is on.
I’m with the people. No war with Iran.
The American people voted for lower costs and no more wars.
Trump is raising costs and just started ANOTHER war.
It's a straight-up betrayal.
More expensive. Less safe. That’s life under Trump.
Draft-dodging chicken-hawks love to talk tough (from their fancy, gold-plated beach resorts). But they have NO CLUE what war is really about.
We need a War Powers vote NOW.
You deserve to know who wants to send your kids to war to fight for Trump's lies.
I risked my life to defend American values. Trump is trampling on them.
Americans killed in the street. Innocent civilians rounded up. Veterans deported, kids detained.
Every freedom-loving, Patriotic American knows how wrong this is.
It’s on ALL of us to fight back.
If you want to know the true State of the Union, ask folks:
Have your grocery bills gone down?
Has your rent gone down?
Have your healthcare costs gone down?
Those of us in the real world know the answer.
Trump can lie all he wants. We feel the truth every day.
The proposed mass detention center in Chester is dangerous, un-American, & the exact opposite of everything our community stands for.
This isn’t partisan — it’s a question of who FIGHTS for the people.
The entire Hudson Valley is standing together — and we’re winning.
The State of the Hudson Valley is STRONG in the face of harms.
PROUD of neighbors who refuse to turn their backs on each other.
And PATRIOTIC for the country we know is the greatest in human history.
We love America enough to fight for it – and we’re not giving up.
They’re not just thugs; they’re incompetent lying thugs.
Even more evidence this plan is half-baked, dangerous, and unconstitutional.
We’re not giving up this fight — now is the time to get even louder and get ICE out of Chester for good.

Rev. Jesse Jackson was an unstoppable force in the fight for civil rights, whose commitment to Liberty & Justice for all represented the very best of our country.
May his memory forever remind us what we can accomplish when we Keep Hope Alive.
$38,300,000,000 of your tax dollars.
Not for healthcare. Not for education. Not for small businesses.
But for mass-detention camps.
It’s flat out UNAMERICAN.
Nobody can sit on the sidelines — it will take all of us fighting back together to stop this.
Secretary Noem and ICE think they can bring their terror campaign to our community.
But the Hudson Valley has been clear: there will be NO ICE facility in Chester.
This fight isn’t over – and we’re not giving up.

This may feel in the weeds — it’s really important.
The biggest defense contractors take hundreds of billions of YOUR money & reward themselves with huge stock buybacks.
You don’t have healthcare; their CEOs get multiple yachts.
We need a FULL AUDIT.
With the dangerous, unlawful and un-American overreach by ICE, it’s time to take an even stronger stand ↓
ICE is murdering American citizens, kidnapping children, illegally entering homes, and lying about it.
While the Admin continues defending their crimes, I’ll keep voting on behalf of my Hudson Valley community and saying NO to funding Trump’s ICE.
Our message to Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, and ICE is simple.
Stay the f*** out of the Hudson Valley.
ICE is trying to build a mass-detention facility in my district.
So I called them out.
This was their (outrageous!) response ↓
The reason there’s “unprecedented opposition” is because they’re murdering people in the streets.
We will not relent. We’re only gonna get louder.
On behalf of my constituents, I am sponsoring articles of impeachment against Secretary Noem.
Secretary Noem had many chances to take accountability. The Trump Administration had many chances to hold her accountable. At every turn, they’ve doubled down on their cover-up of her egregious violations of the public trust. It is clear that action must be taken by Congress.
The Department of Homeland Security was created to make Americans feel safe and secure at home. Secretary Noem has failed at this mission; and today, millions of Americans are living in fear because of the agency’s actions. That makes us all less safe.
Weaponizing a federal agency with a budget bigger than most militaries to kill American citizens in the streets, deport US veterans, and illegally break into people’s homes – and then lie about it all, repeatedly – most certainly meets that weighty standard.
Impeachment exists as a last resort, to be used for only the most grave and egregious offenses against our country.
To my Republican colleagues: You are ENTIRELY missing where the people are.
You think voting against increasing ICE funding is a difficult position?!
They're murdering Americans in the streets.
The only indefensible position is seeing what's happening and DOING NOTHING.
Dangerous conditions are expected through the evening — please continue to stay off the roads & exercise extreme caution if you must travel.
Thank you to all our first responders & road crews for your hard work keeping us safe in this storm.
