There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.
He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Spot on and an amazing piece by @mitch.social
If you’re not already, go follow him, on Substack @MitchtheLawyer. I truly love his writing.
Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th.
We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to obama.org to learn more.
Welcome to America
A trove of nearly 3,200 disclosure records, which ProPublica made public this week, reveals a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate.
"About 3,000 people a day on average live in tents at Camp East Montana" in a state of medical neglect, overcrowding, malnutrition, unsanitary conditions, and emotional distress.
For 5 months, a 911 call comes in nearly every day.
These are concentration camps, and the stories are heartbreaking.
The "five presidents" at Rev. Jesse Jackson's memorial service get another round of applause:
"President Harris, President Clinton, President Bill Clinton, First Lady Jill Biden, President Biden, and Chicago's own southside President Barack Obama."
This made me giggle.

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.
When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: “Because they lie all the time.”
Video + interview with her and her daughter:
Buttigieg: You’ve got money from the Middle East going into the Trump family crypto fund while you have Americans going to the Middle East for Donald Trump’s war.

🚩 House Oversight just voted 24-19 to SUBPOENA AG Pam Bondi over her half-baked Epstein files release.
Key docs still hidden.
Redactions everywhere.
Powerful names protected.
Enough is enough.
Tell Congress: FORCE Bondi to release EVERY unredacted file NOW. No more cover-ups! 🔥
Boston spills some tea...
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.
The Republican-controlled House voted against releasing details of a taxpayer-funded slush fund to pay victims of sexual misconduct by House members.
Rep. David Kustoff and Rep. Steve Cohen voted to keep the files private by a procedural vote.

@aoc.bsky.social Every time Trump impulsively escalates abroad Venezuela, Iran global instability rises. And each time, it coincides with new revelations about the Epstein files. If a president risks conflict to protect himself politically, he cannot serve objectively. That’s disqualifying

@robertgarcia.bsky.social on Trump's claims of exoneration: "That's a joke. Exonerated by who? No one's exonerated Donald Trump. He's in the Epstein files more than anyone. Mar-a-Lago is oftentimes where they trafficked girls."
Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."
Most anti-LGBTQ bills
Strictest abortion ban
medical marijuana banned
Most medical bankruptcies
Books banned
High Gun violence
High poverty
Low per pupil spending
Immigrants living in fear
Most disenfranchised Black folks
“Freest” for who, @MarshaBlackburn?
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.
Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.
Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?
Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.
Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?
Noem: My condolences to their families
Raskin: You lied about them.
I dunno guys. I kinda feel like the administration overplayed their hand starting a war to distract from ICE to distract from the economy to distract from the Epstein Files...
