A father and mother were murdered. Their son is in custody. And the President made it about himself.
This wasn't leadership. This was the gutter.

VA Secretary Collins went before Congress promising to protect the VA, meanwhile, his team was calculating how much money they'd save by cutting 4,000 nurses and 400 psychologists. The leaked documents don't lie. Veterans deserve answers.

I woke this morning to news of another mass casualty shooting. This time Brown University Rhode Island. Two students dead Nine more wounded. Kids trying to study for exams, gunned down in a classroom while a nation collectively shrugs and reaches for the same tired script

90% of everything you own crossed an ocean. The laws that protect those shipments just got ignored by our own government. Here's why that should concern every American.

URGENT: The Venezuelan tanker seizure isn't about Venezuela. It's about the precedent. Half that oil goes to China. We just showed them that international maritime law is optional. Every American vessel just became vulnerable. Read why this matters: tinyurl.com/37zt5kbh

Hegseth ordered "kill everybody" on Sept 2. When survivors were spotted in the water, wounded, defenseless, SEAL Team 6 fired a 2nd of 4 missiles.
6 vets in Congress heard from active-duty troops troubled by what they were being ordered to do.

"You can refuse illegal orders.” Six decorated veterans said this to active duty troops. Trump called it sedition, punishable by DEATH. The Defense Secretary opened an investigation.
This isn't about military discipline.

The Epstein Files bill passed 427-1 in the House, unanimous in the Senate. But it took 5 months of fighting a Speaker who didn't want these names released. Here's the timeline and why it matters. tinyurl.com/yfrvtbmu

The executive branch claims the power to kill anyone in international waters based on secret designations, without Congress, without trial, without evidence.

That's not constitutional authority. That's monarchical power.

The Young Republicans scandal isn't just about vile messages. It's about the Republican establishment that elevated, endorsed, and employed these individuals.

"I didn't know" won't work this time.
