Senate committee advances Markwayne Mullin’s nomination to lead homeland security

@heidilifeldman

gotta say, a head of cabbage is looking better and better as head of DHS...

@paul_ipv6 @heidilifeldman It’s always someone totally unqualified for the job.
@paul_ipv6 @heidilifeldman The head of cabbage would do less damage.

@davetheresurrector @heidilifeldman

do less damage, break less laws, be more intelligent, be of some use to the world (as food). yup.

@heidilifeldman @paul_ipv6 Thanks, Fetterman 🤬
@cmdrmoto @heidilifeldman @paul_ipv6 when is he up for reelection?
