This is the story tonight. Every Dem who was in that room should be telling us what they saw.
Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

Himes: "The end result was two individuals without any weaponry, without any tools of any kind, clinging to a wrecked boat ... the decision was taken to kill them and that is in fact what happened. And that was pretty hard to watch."

Himes: "What worries me is what causes a man of real integrity & w/ a storied professional history like the admiral to order this strike? My guess is it has something to do w/ the secretary of defense who writes a book about how we need a lot less ethics and lawyers involved & a lot more lethality."

FOX: Year to date job cuts are up 54%. That seems like a troubling number. What's your take?

HASSETT: The flow of jobs in & out is a little higher, there's a little more turnover. A lot of times that can happen because people feel like they're actually able to get another job if they leave this one

Himes: It was exceedingly hard to watch. Even if you stipulate that it is a war, there is a very specific prohibition against killing individuals who have been removed from the fight. And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.

I am told that internal Ukrainian army information shows that more than 26,000 Russian soldiers were killed or critically wounded in the month of November. Confirmed by videos. No wonder Putin wants to get Trump to give him territory for free

If petulant piffleswipe Pierre Poilievre is ever elected Prime Minister, just watch him follow the 🇺🇸US lead on this, as in so much else.
Just look at his religious bigot base, and ask what they would require him to do just to keep his own backwoods Alberta seat.

1. I’m HIGHLY skeptical of this whole thing.

2. No details or motive given.

3. Comes days after scathing reports showing Patel’s incompetence, corruption, and malfeasance.

4. He uses his statement to promote himself and claim a huge win to save his job.
