Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Even Speaker Mike Johnson is talking about quitting because Trump is such a hot mess. If as rumored, several House GOPers plan to quit, Hakeem Jeffries will take the gavel. We MUST not let him squander it, slow-roll it, or go with watered down promises and half-measures!

As the Trump administration commits countless acts of political corruption, the ranking Dem on the House Oversight Committee, Robert Garcia, is taking his show on the road—and collaborating with LA officials in the most wide-ranging examination of the White House's misdeeds to date. trib.al/9Oq502h

Trump Doesn’t Realize the Disaster He’s Created
The shutdown shoved healthcare to the forefront and left Republicans holding the blame they’ve spent years trying to dodge.

UPDATE: Since launching our own methane-tracking satellite earlier this year, California has helped close 10 large methane leaks in our state.

That pollution reduction is roughly the same as taking 18,000 gas-powered cars off the road for an entire year.
California is moving forward with a groundbreaking satellite project to track and reduce methane emissions.

With this innovative technology, we’ll be able to move faster to cut methane emissions — protecting Californians and tackling harmful pollution.

Asking my Senators to vote for new leadership; either Chuck Schumer cannot whip votes, in which case he's useless, or he is fine giving up leverage for nothing, in which case he's worthless.

At least they FINALLY admitted why they refused to negotiate on the shutdown. First they lied and promised Dems they would “negotiate” this, but only AFTER they voted for the CR. But Dems were correct when they assessed that Republicans NEVER intended to extend these subsidies.

The reason SNAP costs "exploded" starting in 2021 was because USDA implemented a change to the calculation of how much families should spend on food each month. This change was mandated by Congress in the farm bill that passed... in 2018, when Trump was president.

Nutrition assistance is NOT corrupt. Food stamps kept my family fed when my mom had to look for work after my dad got sick with MS.

The Trump administration wants kids, seniors, and veterans to go hungry. They are REFUSING to use emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits going.

Note to the world: Pandering to narcissism, megalomania and bad taste of America's president not only will not help you in the long-run as he betrays everyone even those who debase themselves to win his favor but it also will encourage him to become even more out of control & destructive. So don't.
