Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Mike Johnson refusing to swear her in: "The excuses depending on the day keep changing ... the timing is the fact that I am the 218th signer to the discharge petition for the Epstein files"

“It’s a war from within.” Trump prepares the generals for what comes next.

September 21, 2025 On Friday the Bureau of Labor Statistics postponed the release of the annual report on consumer expenditures—a key report for understanding inflation—without explanation.

From @hcrichardson.bsky.social: "the U.S. Dept of Agriculture is ending its annual report on household food security." An expert who explains that this is troubling because inflation is up & the job market is unstable, both of which increase food insecurity. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Can someone remind me who the last member of our armed services who sacrificed their life for this country...who was given a memorial service by someone...like the one today? In all of the hoopla....I have forgotten.

Hey Congress – make Alex Acosta's testimony public and televised. There's absolutely no ethical reason for it to be private and transcribed. Nefarious AF. We need to hear your questions. We want to see him squirm. We need to see him squirm.

Yet another sign of a cover-up.

We’re back in session after Speaker Johnson let us out early at the end of July, feeling the pressure from our subpoenas for the Epstein files.

Trump is in the Epstein files.

ICE doesn't care if you're legal or not, they'll arrest anyone they for any reason.

Newsom: I mean, even poor Kid Rock — these guys, they’ve gotten a little precious, haven’t they? The folks at Fox are like, “Oh, this is so unbecoming of a governor. Oh, oh.”

And meanwhile, they sit there reading his tweets every single day. Are they really that out of touch?

Yeah, this is a highly unusual all-hands-on-deck meeting that wouldn’t be happening if Alaska was productive.

5 European leaders, the head of NATO and the head of the EU don’t just drop everything and fly to DC.

Kristi Noem is living rent-free in home used by Coast Guard commandant A DHS spokeswoman said Noem must live on the military base because she had been “so horribly doxxed and targeted that she is no longer able to safely live in her own apartment.”

"Noem has also been particular about the service on the Coast Guard planes. In one incident, she and her staff grew irritated when a weighted blanket she often uses on trips was not provided to her, an issue that was “escalated” within the service..."

The war is apparently Zelensky’s fault. Tomorrow is going to be another shit show.

Happy Friday to everyone who might be concerned that he has possession of the nuclear codes, blames the messenger for tanking the economy & would gladly pardon a monster to save his own thin orange skin.

Putin has this letter from Melania on the wall. It complements his collection of her naked pictures…

Wait, wut?
