"#NewMexico’s #US Senator #MartinHeinrich, breaking with most #Democrats, will vote yes on #MarkwayneMullin to lead #DHS"
Nothing that is currently happening in the #UnitedStates would be possible without the #complicity and #connivance of the #DemocraticParty.
And, yes, the entire party is culpable because the votes are counted in advance.
New Mexico’s U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich will be one of the few Democrats to support Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s nomination to succeed Kristi Noem as President Trump’s homeland security secretary.

Repubblica.it: Marantelli, il “leghista rosso” del Pds: “Quando Bossi mi propose di fare l’assessore a Varese”
L’ex deputato dem è stato a lungo “ufficiale di collegamento” tra la sinistra e il Carroccio: “Volevo bene a Umberto, c’era stima reciproca, con me è sempre stato leale e affidabile, sia umanamente che politicamente”.
Marantelli, the “Leghist Red” of the PDS: “When Bossi proposed I become the assessor for Varese.”
The former Democratic Party MP had long been a “liaison officer” between the left and the Carroccio: “I liked Umberto, there was mutual respect, he was always loyal and reliable with me, both personally and politically.”

"Beyond this, the offensive against Iran might be interpreted as a violent displacement activity on the part of a declining empire confronted with a rival centre of capital accumulation in the Pacific, about which it seems able to do nothing rational or constructive. It is a symptom of secular decay – of the political authority of the American bourgeoisie, the political capacities of the permanent state and the intellectual calibre of its overseers. Now the US finds itself in what Robert Pape calls the escalation trap: it cannot achieve its stated goals by air war, but to declare victory and walk away would be a clear strategic defeat.
True to form, the Democrats immediately signalled their readiness to fund the war, on the assurance that there was a ‘plan’. As Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin put it, ‘we’re in it’. They had no disagreement of principle, having been fully complicit themselves in the Gaza genocide – all they offered was cavilling about process and tactics. And why not? The Democrats had long assimilated Trump’s first-term foreign policy lines regarding China and the Middle East. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies vied to out-hawk Trump on negotiations with Iran: ‘no side deals’ they insisted. The Democrats voted through Trump’s massive military spending bill; they gave a standing ovation for his sabre-rattling against Iran in the State of the Union address; there was also quiet admiration in the Democratic establishment – openly expressed by Hillary Clinton – for the way he bullied European vassals into bumping up their NATO spending.
Whatever reservations America’s vassals may have had about the war, they clearly hoped that unity of purpose against an old foe might temper some of Trump’s disdain for erstwhile allies."
