Tom Cotton is babbling about how the boat survivors might have "stayed in the fight." There was no fight. These guys weren't armed. They were puttering along when they were struck by a missile. There was no American anywhere near them.

After unexplained bursitis in my right elbow followed by not being able to lift a bottle of orange juice without pain in my left elbow, I feared rheumatoid arthritis or some other disorder, but diagnosis is biceps tendinitis combined with classic tennis elbow.
A relief.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.
She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

Trump will claim that he's brought in $17 trillion — sometimes it's even $18 trillion.
As Lead Democrat on @housebudgetdems.bsky.social, I haven't seen a dime come in, especially not for working families. It's all a con.
