Rep. Jim Himes after being briefed by Adm. Bradley:
"What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service. You have two individuals in clear distress without any means of locomotion, with a destroyed vessel, who are killed by the United States."

Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikes—
Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navy—

Kamlager-Dove: We also know that DHS has a habit of taking people to hospitals under false names so they cannot be located. This prevents their family members and lawyers from getting to them. And so we want to know: is this what also happened to Vicente?
