For 200 years, the White House has been a symbol of enduring democracy. To Donald Trump, it’s just another fixer-upper with a gold-leaf budget. Replacing Ionic columns with "Corinthian" isn't an upgrade, it's the desecration of our national heritage by a tenant who doesn't respect his lease.

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia. Full breakdown on this and more from my Weekend Update on my Substack page: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/weekend-vi...

If Gabbard and Vance weren’t in this administration, they’d be protesting against it. Tulsi left the Democratic Party warning that Hillary would drag us into useless wars. She said Trump would run as a “peace president” and Stephen Miller had the audacity to say Kamala would take us into WW3.

So the State Department is forcing everyone to immediately leave the region but is also refusing to help people leave the region. The strike itself is illegal and disastrous but their lack of readiness for what comes next is unforgivable as well. Incompetence everywhere.

Jena Griswold is running for Attorney General of the State of Colorado and one of her Democratic primary opponents is running television attack ads saying that she was somehow being dishonest when she said that she “argued” the seminal 14th Amendment disqualification case before the Supreme Court.

It is actually her opponent’s suggestion that Ms. Griswold was somehow dishonest that is mendacious and dishonest, not Ms. Griswold’s statement that she “argued” the case.

Then Secretary of State Griswold was the named defendant in the seminal case before the Supreme Court. The case would never even have been brought before the Supreme Court were it not for patriotic stand.

It was Ms. Griswold who was represented in that case by the Colorado Solicitor General, who argued her case on behalf of the State of Colorado in the Supreme Court.

It would be common for a public figure who was in her position to say years later that he or she “argued” the case in the Supreme Court, because for all intents and purposes she did. It was her argument that the Solicitor General made in the Court on behalf of the State of Colorado.

No one except her political opponent running the television ads and his cynical political supporters would ever think a thing about her statement. Nor should Colorado voters.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):

"I'd like to share a story from a local paper in Coldwater, Michigan dated to the 9th of April, 1945. It tells how the US Army, under General Patton--the US 3rd Army--came onto what you might call a detention center just outside the village of Ohrdruf, Germany.

The US Army brought the leading citizens of Ohrdruf to tour the facility, which turned out to be part of the Buchenwald network of concentration camps. A US Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes, without muttering a word, that they were to blame.

One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was (quote) 'done by a few people, and you cannot blame us all.' And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said, 'this was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.'

The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough.

I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought, 'how is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'this site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?'

But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew--as we do--that we are all responsible for what happens in our community.

I urge the council to take action to stop, or stall, or at the barest minimum to think creatively about how to exercise oversight over this proposed ICE facility. Thank you."
