Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth points to what he calls “the fog of war” to defend a follow-up military strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean, which reportedly killed survivors of the initial attack.
Pete Hegseth says he didn't see survivors in the September boat strike because of 'the fog of war'
Lawmakers in both the House and the Senate have started inquiries into the "double tap" strikes, which critics have said could constitute a war crime.

This is NOT putting America first.

Donald Trump is putting drug traffickers and his friends first.
Donald Trump just pardoned former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández.

He’s a convicted major drug trafficker whose actions killed innocent people.

Trump will claim that he's brought in $17 trillion — sometimes it's even $18 trillion.

As Lead Democrat on @housebudgetdems.bsky.social, I haven't seen a dime come in, especially not for working families. It's all a con.

The only people benefiting under Trump are billionaires.

Congress has less than a month before health insurance premiums are set to spike for millions of Americans.

And hopes of a deal to mitigate the pain are fizzling among lawmakers in both parties.
Hopes fade in Congress for a health care deal before premiums soar in January
Billions of dollars in tax credits under the Affordable Care Act are poised to expire at the end of the year. Lawmakers in both parties say they're nowhere close to a deal to renew them.

I join my Democratic and Republican colleagues in calling for an investigation into this boat strike, which, if true, is clearly unlawful.

It's stunning that the Administration has refused to brief all of Congress on the details of these strikes - this must be rectified at once.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Across the country, Starbucks workers are on an Unfair Labor Practice strike for a fair first contract, and I know which side I’m on. Baristas make Starbucks an extraordinarily wealthy company. They are entitled to their fair share of that wealth and to benefits and fair treatment on the job.
