Pete Hegseth sure is proud of committing murder.
This is what the so-called "Secretary of War" is tweeting amid reports that his department ordered a second strike to make sure they killed survivors of a boat they attacked that they allege with no proof carries drugs (which doesn't justify bombing them even it were true)

Dem House member Turner passed away in Mar '25. Runoff special election between 2 Dems for seat is 1/31/26. TX Gov Abbot has intentionally denied representation in Congress for that district for 11 months to increase narrow GOP House majority. Where's the outcry? www.texastribune.org/2025/11/17/t...
Abbott sets Jan. 31 runoff for 18th Congressional District

t’s the evil of Republicans, the memory deficit of the voters, and complicity of the media that dictates how we must fight for ACA subsidies AGAIN when 2014 should have taught everyone their political lesson.
"While Republicans from swing districts are rightfully fearful of voter backlash, many other GOP lawmakers loathe the enhanced ACA subsidies. Trapped between conservative philosophy and political reality, the GOP would rather talk about almost any other issue."

Wasabi is the only kitten I’ve ever foster failed— she had STRONG anxious obsessive food behaviors as a kitten & was constantly literally climbing the walls, and we didn’t think she’d find a home that would easily accept her as she was. But growing up w/foster kittens, she loves babysitting them.
