If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Next time a Republican claims this is a “Democrat Shutdown,” they should be reminded that Russell Vought, the president’s top budget adviser, encouraged the GOP in Congress to shut down the government because it’s easier to dismantle the government when it is closed. He's on record liking shutdowns.
