Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) said earlier today that seeing this video was "one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service."

"People will someday see this video and they will see that that video shows ... an attack on shipwrecked sailors."

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

It is indeed what Trump is saying. And I’m glad to see Sen. Kelly call him out plainly for it. Racism has no place in our society or government.

Belief in the racist great replacement theory has been a prime motivator for a string of mass shootings around the world, including inside the U.S. It is arguably the deadliest conspiracy theory in terms of motivating direct violence.

Key MAGA leaders continue to promote it.

Did folks think it was a joke? Did they not know what a tariff is?

The tariffs could be rolled back TODAY but prices will never go back completely down.

This is infuriating on so many levels, but partly because it ignores Congressional intent to penalize immigrants who followed the rules. And partly because these are people who have done nothing wrong beyond trying to negotiate a broken system.
