While many Republicans running for Congress in swing districts are going to try to distance themselves from Trump, Miller, Kash, Hegseth, RFK Jr, et al, they enabled ALL of it. They all supported Mike Johnson for Speaker, who abdicated all oversight and congressional authority.

The lawless killing spree continues. The administration justifies this slaughter by claiming there’s an armed conflict. But it won’t even tell the U.S. public who the supposed enemies are. Of course, there’s no armed conflict. And outside armed conflict, we call premeditated killing murder.

 Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted lethal kinetic strikes on three vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations in international waters. Intelligence confirmed that the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and were engaged in narco-trafficking. A total of eight male narco-terrorists were killed during these actions—three in the first vessel, two in the second and three in the third. #OpSouthernSpear

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

It should be added that people with TPS are never supposed to get less than 60 days' notice before they lose that status. DHS' position here is that they already got those 60 days between February and April, which is not remotely in accordance with the reality of suddenly losing status just today.
