With the retirement of Marjorie Taylor Greene, and the passing of LaMalfa, it looks like the GOP no longer holds a working majority until his seat is filled. It’s at 217. They need 218 for a majority.

Walz: "They're unwilling to stand with Melissa Hortman's children. And I want to tell you this: for those legislators who went and shed crocodile tears at her funeral, shame on you. Shame on you. Her children are asking you to do one thing in her name: tell the president to stop doing this."

MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want?

"The military operation which led to the capture of Nicolas Maduro runs counter to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and the principle of non use of force. Violations of the UN Charter... chips away at the very foundation of the international order."

Denmark is a NATO ally. Talking about annexing Greenland is insane.

Every pundit, think tanker, “professional”, etc. who whitewashes it should never be close to power again.

Yet another reason for Trump's campaign of killing civilians in international waters was to test which senior career officers would be willing to violate their oath of office to please Trump. Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned rather than carry out illegal orders, but Adm. Bradley was happy to comply.
