Sen. Rand Paul has scheduled a confirmation hearing for Sen. Markwayne Mullin's nomination as DHS Secretary for next week, despite Mullin having recently called Paul "a freaking snake" and sympathized with the neighbor who physically attacked him. The hearing unfolds against the backdrop of a weeks-long partial DHS shutdown, Kristi Noem's firing over a $220 million advertising scandal, and deep partisan divisions over immigration enforcement that could complicate Mullin's path to confirmation.
