It’s filed. Your congressman can now sign the discharge petition to force a vote on binding legislation to release the Epstein files.

Massie tells reporters he is confident this will reach 218 votes and says WH is phoning House Republicans to encourage them not to sign on

Congress has not authorized military hostilities against Venezuela. There’s no exception permitting unilateral action because it’s “drugs” or “terrorism” or a “designated organization.” The “peace president” strikes again.

🚨🆕 Congressman Greg Casar of Progressive Caucus has introduced an amendment to the #NDAA Pentagon bill requiring President Donald J.

Drug trafficking is a crime, not an act of war. Traffickers must be arrested, not summarily executed, which U.S. forces just illegally did.

Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense, which this video does not show. Only non-lethal actions, like warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. “Being suspected of carrying drugs” doesn't carry a death sentence.

👀 White House official giving a warning shot to any Republican who signs Massie’s discharge petition, telling me it would “be viewed as a very hostile act to the administration.” Full statement: “Helping Thomas Massie and Liberal Democrats with their attention-seeking, while

Defense Secretary Hegseth does not rule out regime change in Venezuela, saying: "That's a presidential-level decision and we're prepared with every asset that the American military has."

“There is no reason for the Democratic Party to avoid saying what is obvious, which is this is a genocide.” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison tells Mehdi Hasan that Democrats must recognize the genocide in Gaza to recover as a party ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Rand Paul: "The reason we have trials and we don't automatically assume guilt is what if we make a mistake and they happen to be people fleeing the Venezuelan dictator? ... off our coast it isn't our policy just to blow people up ... even the worst people in our country, if we

Trump cannot be allowed to drag us into another endless war with his reckless, illegal actions. Only Congress has the power to declare war.

Trump and the Pentagon executed 11 people in the Caribbean, 1,500 miles away from the United States, without a legal rationale. From Iran to Venezuela, to DC, LA, and Chicago, Trump continues to abuse our military power, undermine the rule of law, and erode our constitutional
