Hakeem Jeffries needs to resign!
He refused to endorse Zohran Mamdani until it was too late to matter, and now he’s praising Trump’s pardon of disgraced, corrupt Henry Cuellar.
We can't be a party of ethics & morals if our leaders give their full-throated support to criminals.

Several weeks before this happened, Karoline Leavitt’s brother & others in the Leavitt family kept urging Bruna Ferreira to leave her son in the U.S. and to self deport, according to statements by Bruna’s sister.

Henry Cuellar took $600K in bribes from an oil and gas company, so naturally, Trump swoops in with another corrupt pardon. Ridiculous.

Congressman Henry Cuellar was indicted for money laundering, bribery, and conspiracy, allegedly taking about $600,000, mostly from Azerbaijan, to influence U.S. policy.
President Donald Trump pardoned Cuellar, because Trump supports money laundering, bribery, and conspiracy.

Members of the military, this is why you do NOT follow illegal orders:
Donald Trump & Pete Hegseth are setting up Admiral Bradley to be solely responsible for killing the survivors of the U.S. boat attack in the Caribbean.
You might be next. They only care about protecting themselves.

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

With Tuesday's White House Cabinet meeting chugging past the two-hour mark, Trump 's eyes fluttered and closed. His budget director busied himself doodling a fluffy cloud. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was lucky enough to speak early, but the title on his nameplate was misspelled.

Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.
