Do these guys ever bother to listen to themselves?
Yeah, that's exactly what pardoning the 1600 J6 rioters show.

🚨 Sen. Angus King, who negotiated the deal to end the shutdown, tells me he no longer sees a path to extend ACA funds, citing GOP demands for tougher abortion limits. “The Republicans have made Hyde a red line,” King said. “And that’s not gonna work.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
Democrats will force a Senate vote on a 3-year extension of Affordable Care Act funds
The legislation is all but guaranteed to fail next week, due to widespread Republican opposition, and become a key issue in the 2026 elections as insurance premiums rise.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Reporters should *ask* these Republicans if any drugs were visible, and whether it would be at all plausible to "flip the boat," as Tom Cotton claims.

Wow, Adm. Holsey didn't leave of his own accord, Hegseth pushed him out. What looked like the SOCOM head resigning rather than do war crimes now looks like SecDef canning him to facilitate war crimes.
Congress should have him testify, and would've already if war-crime-sympathetic GOP didn't run it.
