White House says second strike on vessel was legal and conducted in โ€˜self defenseโ€™ amid scrutiny โ€“ live Karoline Leavitt defends second strike on alleged drug-smuggling boat; Trump says he believes Pete Hegsethโ€™s statement โ€˜100%โ€™ that defense secretary didnโ€™t ordered the attack

You can't just claim war crimes are self-defense and get away with committing clear war crimes.

They are pathetic.

Johnson told White House that Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies, sources say House Speaker Mike Johnson delivered the message in a phone call with the White House.

Insurance premiums for 2026 are through the roof, and families across the country are trying to figure out if they can afford to go to the doctor next year.

Congress could take that pain away, but Republicans "aren't interested." bit.ly/48IMvye

Iโ€™m part of the triple-decker sandwich generation. You probably are as well Youโ€™ve heard of caregivers in the sandwich generation. In this anti-compassion Trump 2.0 era, itโ€™s more like a triple-decker sandwich. Alissa Quart has experienced this first-hand

Each slice adds pressure, and there are more of us than ever feeling it. The number of family caregivers has jumped to 63 million Americans โ€“ a 45% increase, or nearly 20 million more caregivers โ€“ in the past decade. Meanwhile, among caregivers under 50, 47% are caring for both a parent and a child.

Without evidence, CDC changes messaging on vaccines and autism On Wednesday, the CDC reversed its long-held position that there's no link between vaccines and autism. "This is the day CDC died," a former agency official said.

RFK Jr is turning our country's public health agency into a tool to push his own propaganda.

Itโ€™s dangerous and could hurt a lot of kids and people across America.

A reminder to a nation with way too many people untethered to facts and truth: Thereโ€™s no such thing as โ€œThe Department of War.โ€ It doesnโ€™t exist. Only Congress has the power to create and name executive departments & agencies. So itโ€™s still The Department of Defense.

Thanks

Dear Senator Cassidy,

โ€œWeโ€ didnโ€™t. WE didnโ€™t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Whoโ€™s our president? Say his name.

Best,

Your Former Congressional Colleague

On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks refused to surrender her seatโ€”and changed the course of history. Her steadfast courage reshaped our nation and still calls us to stand up, speak out, and fight for justice and equality every single day.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

Whatโ€™s its key example? Wait for it . . . Itโ€™s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

The whole "strong floor, no ceilings" thing doesn't really matter in the sense that it's not actually going to be the Democratic Party slogan. It matters because it shows how stupid and out of touch Hakeem Jeffries is and what that portends for the future of the party.

Today is World AIDS Day, a day that reminds me of the decades-long fight for dignity, science, and compassion. Weโ€™ve come so far because activists, researchers, and communities refused to be ignored.

Keir Starmer, "Tax rises do make life harder for people, I understand that, it's obvious"

It's also obvious that a wealth tax of 1% on those with ยฃ10m+ would NOT make life harder for the rich - thats also obvious ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Mark Kelly: โ€œPete Hegseth is not a serious person. Heโ€™s unqualified for this job.
