Mark Kelly: "We have a president who doesn't understand the Constitution, who installed an unqualified secretary of defense. I cannot think of a secretary of defense in the history of our country that is less qualified than Pete Hegseth. He should've been fired after Signal-gate."

Boston had a growing coffee-price problem as a result of tariffs, drought, and supply disruption. The average price per pound of coffee in Boston is $17.79, a 36 percent increase since January. Nationally, it’s $9.14. One way to start a revolution is to mess with Boston’s caffeine.

I’m sure Pete Hegseth and his out of control, depraved, and quite frankly sickening “ethos” of war and murder, wasn’t counting on being checked by oversight. It’s almost as if Congress is finally realizing they are, in fact, being made obsolete in every way imaginable.
