This President put a TV news host in charge of our national defense. Unsurprisingly, it is not going well. Pete Hegseth is the most unfit, unqualified Defense Secretary in history. He should resign.

Donald Trump ran on lowering costs. Now he refuses to negotiate on the simplest and easiest way to ensure millions of Americans don’t face skyrocketing insurance costs. All he has to do is extend existing credits to prevent massive upheaval. He refuses to do the bare minimum.

House Republicans just tanked a bipartisan piece of federal legislation to lower housing costs. I want to highlight just some of what was in this critical bill and why this is such a loss for Americans.

What we are watching - as U.S. citizens are dragged out of cars and illegal war is waged in the Caribbean - is the corruption of the most sacred power we give the President - the power of violence. We are no longer a democracy if the regime can use violence without restraint.
