In a continuation of an ongoing feud, Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin attempted to provoke a physical altercation with a witness in a Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee hearing.

Teamsters union president and CEO Sean O'Brien was testifying in the Standing Up Against Corporate Greed: How Unions are Improving the Lives of Working Families hearing on Capitol Hill on November 14, 2023.

You can see the confrontation here:

During the hearing, Mullin read a June tweet posted by O'Brien, then stated:

"You want to run your mouth? We can be two consenting adults, we can finish it here."

O'Brien responded:

"OK, that’s fine, perfect. I’d love to do it right now."

The GOP Senator replied:

"Then stand your butt up then."

O'Brien shot back:

"You stand your butt up."

At this point Mullin stood and appeared to be headed for O'Brien.

Committee Chair Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders intervened, however, shouting:

"No, no, sit down! Sit down!"

Senator Sanders reminded Mullin:

"You’re a United States Senator! This is a hearing."
"And God knows the American people have enough contempt for Congress, let’s not make it worse."

People were unimpressed with Mullin's latest display of bravado, but felt Senator Sanders handled it well.










The pair previously clashed in a Senate hearing in March of this year, during which Mullin told O'Brien:

"Shut your mouth."

The barbs flew again on Twitter—now X—in June.

O'Brien posted a photo of Mullin revealing the GOP Senator stood on a box to appear taller during a debate.

Mullin is a former MMA fighter who retired 15 years ago.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
