Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

www.politico.com/live-updates... Cowards! These 2 guys deliberately sat out this vote. (The Floor and Leadership staff move Heaven and Earth to track down Members who haven’t voted. They would have kept the vote open for as long as it took.)

www.cnbc.com/2025/05/22/r... That wasn’t so hard, was it? All it took to get GOP Members to overcome their fiscal principles was to throw more money at rich homeowners, while taking away poor people’s health care faster.
