Make it your goal in life to find someone that loves you half as much as Whiskey Pete loves war crimes.
The regime has provided no legal justification for the bombings of small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific that Trump claims are trafficking drugs bound for the US.
In at least one of these strikes, Pete Hegseth ordered troops to leave no survivors.

Yep. That's me....running against Ann Wagner in MO-2. You're probably wondering how I plan to beat her? Well...we have a national level campaign, rising donations, and a strategy to run everywhere in the district. I'd love your support too! We can win this seat.
That’s a whole lots of House Republicans with “danger zone” margins.

Yes my district is in play. Ann Wagner barely pulled 12 points with Trump on the ballot. We’re building a race that will close that gap and take the energy of the moment to flip this seat. People are sick of being ignored. No town halls. No money brought home. @wellmanformo.bsky.social #TeamWellman

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

The most vile people on earth are the parents that refuse to vaccinate their children. Just utterly shameful and disgusting. The dumbest morons on the planet.
I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better.

Pete Hegseth should resign in disgrace and face accountability. He does not have the integrity needed to lead America’s troops. This was obvious to anyone with a moral compass but the Senate is full of spineless cowards. Looking at you Thom Tillis.

There has not been a bigger supporter of pardoning war criminals convicted in military court in the GWOT era than Hegseth. This is the kind of shit that happens when you put a degenerate and a sycophant in charge of the Department of Defense.
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

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.
