Sen. Adam Schiff tells NBC that Pete Hegseth and "anyone who has knowledge of what happened" should testify before the Senate on Ukraine's Starlink disruptions. "Somebody is lying here. Maybe they're all lying in different ways, but we need to find out."

I’m alarmed that more people aren’t alarmed by Trump targeting Somali Americans and labeling them “garbage” and “crooks” who “contribute nothing.” Most of them are U.S. citizens, yet Trump says, “I don’t want them in our country.” If you know history, you know the horror this can lead to.

The United States is actively helping Putin murder civilians in Ukraine. Trump is doing everything he can to force Ukraine to surrender to his friend and ally Putin so they can be subjugated by the Russians again.

I'm sorry but the key priority for the next US SecDef has to be extracting Elon Musk from every single thing related to US military contracting. No Musk company should receive any government contract of any kind from any Dem executive.

New speed limits on Starlink terminals, operated by billionaire Elon Musk’s SpaceX, disrupted drone attacks over Russian-occupied Ukraine, Ukrainian officials and military units said.

Let me see if I understand this . . . 1. The U.S. is at war with Iran. 2. Russia is helping Iran in that war. 3. The U.S. is now giving Russia money that it can use to help Iran destroy U.S. bases and kill U.S. troops. Donald is smart & patriotic like that.
