The Donroe Doctrine? Is there anything he doesn’t try to rename?

Sens. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) and Jack Reed (D-R.I.) issued a statement Saturday vowing to conduct “vigorous oversight” on Caribbean strikes after a report surfaced that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military to “kill everybody” aboard an alleged drug vessel.

The Epstein survivors are fed up. They’re using Washington’s own playbook — opposition research — on lawmakers blocking the Epstein files. I’m publishing the first piece in “The Reckoning” series in The Red Letter on a GOP senator with close ties to Ghislaine Maxwell. Sign up, link is in BIO.

Mark 10:13-14 And they brought young children to Jesus, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.
