Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Cotton froze when Berman asked the obvious: “Would it be legal for Arkansas police to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat?” He can’t defend the legality of the strike without admitting it would be illegal at home, and it exposes Trump and Hegseth. #holdfast

Himes: They posed zero threat to anyone in the region, and we killed them.
Himes: It was exceedingly hard to watch. Even if you stipulate that it is a war, there is a very specific prohibition against killing individuals who have been removed from the fight. And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.

As the Trump administration clumsily moves toward an unnecessary and irresponsible and narcissistic war with Venezuela, I want to take a brief moment to offer this sentiment to those who voted for him over VP Harris because they believed it would keep us out of unnecessary wars:

The targeting of Mark Kelly isn’t politics...it’s the sick new normal created by a movement that can’t win arguments, only intimidate. When public servants become targets, freedom isn’t next in line… it’s already in danger. Fortunately, the outrage is intensifying rapidly.
