If only Rand Paul was in a position to do more than give sound bites. Wouldn't that be something.
Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released.
“And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

Their fight against what, Tom?
Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

The "on camera" part seems unnecessary, really.

This kind of language only ever comes from people who are independently wealthy, have their healthcare fully paid for by the government, or both.
Chip Roy: "We need to give freedom options for the average hardworking American family so you can afford a catastrophic plan, go get health sharing, be able to have something that you can be able to go to the doctor of your choice rather than enriching insurance companies."

(1/4) ICE detention has become a black box. Oversight has been gutted. Families are being separated. Pregnant and postpartum women report starving in custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, and their pleas for help going unanswered.
Miscarriages, infections, neglect: The pregnant women detained by ICE
Until last year, Congress required reports on the pregnant, postpartum or nursing women in ICE custody, including ‘detailed justification’ for their detention. This requirement no longer exists, Kelly...

Those thumping noises you hear are everybody in the chain of command being rolled under a bus so Hegseth can pretend he has no agency and just plays the role of cheerleader in military operations.
Hegseth: "As President Trump always has our back, we always have the back of our commanders who are making decisions in difficult situations. All these strikes, they're making judgement calls ensuring they defend the American people. They've done the right things. We'll keep doing that."

You're talking about a man who repeatedly used his position as a colleague and mentor in comedy to force young women to watch and listen to him masturbate. Shouldn't the question be whether or not he has sufficiently atoned for his offenses? Did you ask the women he violated for their opinion?
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

President Hernandez was serving 45 years in prison for a plot to distribute 400 tons of cocaine before Trump pardoned him. Meanwhile, Trump is murdering fishermen in small boats for allegedly smuggling far smaller amounts.
“Additionally, I Will be granting a Full and Complete Pardon to Former President Juan Orlando Hernandez who has been, according to many people that | greatly respect, treated very harshly and unfairly.”
