This interview with Lindsey Graham is ridiculous.
No politician should be allowed to grandstand in support of Trump bombing boats or going to war with Venezuela without being challenged on why he pardoned a major drug kingpin, former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández.

When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t.
What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty.

EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.
Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets
Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.
Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.
