📌That's a damn fine job in TN-07, and just the latest example of why Democrats need to compete EVERYWHERE.
📌Fully 100 current Republicans seats were less pro-Trump than TN-07 in last year's elections. If we hit these bastards where they are, it will be a bloodbath for the repulsive GOP next year.

Pete Hegseth is the kind of liar who thinks confidence and a loud voice can substitute for truth. It doesn’t.
PS- none of this should be making old man Trump drowsy.

Tony Hernandez was aided in his criminal enterprise by his brother Juan Hernández, President of Honduras.
The Hernández brothers had been on the take for more than a decade, moving Colombian cocaine through Honduras and toward the US, sometimes in collaboration with the Sinaloa cartel, El Chapo.

Tonight, we did something everyone counted out. We proved to a nation that states like Tennessee are still worth fighting for. The margin was close, and that can only be attributed to the thousands of volunteers who showed out. This is just the beginning.

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”
They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

Assuming Trump / Hegseth got it right and the people on the boats are drug dealers, that does not make them soldier-combatants. You can arrest and prosecute criminals like drug dealers, but you cannot kill them with no trial.
Either way, the second killing was murder or a war crime.

EOs usually expire at the end of a term. They are not laws but administrative directives. But the joke is, NONE is signed w an autopen since each is a single document. He's so stupid he doesn't know that.

Former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández—pardoned by Trump while the counting in Honduras’ current presidential election is still in progress—-was accused not only of drug trafficking, but also of election fraud during the 2013 and 2017 Honduran presidential elections. 1/

Trump showed up with a bandaged hand, got confused and had to ask a reporter to use “fewer words,” thanked Colombia for sending cocaine, said “affordability is a hoax” and appeared to announce he’s going to blow up boats on land. Hey media, it’s spelled D-E-M-E-N-T-I-A

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.
