Once CIA saw itself as above politics. But Ratcliffe is a political animal. CIA trained the shooter to kill and evacuated him and tens of thousands of others who served the US in Afghanistan. They will now be collectively punished by the POTUS who signed a surrender agreement with the Taliban.

Ahead of launching a war on Venezuela, the US would like to announce that no one in Venezuela should help US forces, it'd be stupid to do so, the US will denigrate you and screw you over no matter how much you help, and blame you if even one Venezuelan who also helped the US ever does something bad.

My daughter and I visited the house we lived in when she was a baby, and she was shocked a 29-year-old Navy guy could afford a nice house in a safe neighborhood.
That wasn’t crazy in 1996 — but today, a nice house is out of reach for so many young people. That has to change.

Listen, this administration isn’t “making America great.” It’s targeting our neighbors, tearing families apart, and putting lives on the line. Democrats on Oversight are standing up because this fight isn’t about left or right. It’s about right and wrong. Period.
