It's not enough to ask Rs if they support oversight on killing of the two men.
They should also be asked if they support public release of the DOJ memo laying out admin's legal rationale for *all* the strikes.
Rep Adam Smith wants this released. Do Rs agree? 2/

Dems should hound Rs relentlessly: Will they exercise oversight on these extrajudicial killings in a serious way? Trump and Hegseth are laughing in Congress' faces. Will Rs really debase themselves to shield the likes of *Pete Hegseth* from scrutiny? Seriously? 4/4

This is bigger than one murder of two men. Tons of evidence has emerged casting doubt on whether any of these victims are even running drugs to the US at all. Trump just pardoned drug kingpin.

Nothing excites the Texas GOP more than the idea of genitalia inspections in public bathrooms. It's the party's top priority. But exactly how the genitalia are to be inspected remains unclear. There is no shortage of volunteers among the MAGA faithful.
Questions remain on how Texas will enforce new “bathroom bill”
Some trans Texans worry that the lack of specificity on how the law will be enforced will harm their safety and lives.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.
