SENATOR SCOTT COLOM (Mississippi)-D. In honor of all those who lost their lives in Freedom Summer. For Medgar Evers. For Fannie Lou Hammer. For our ancestors. There’s Blood on that Ballot Box.

Our veterans’ service is a debt that can never fully be repaid. Earlier this year, I was honored to join the Military Warriors Support Foundation, Wells Fargo, Webb Chevy Oak Lawn, and members of our community to recognize Former U.S. Navy Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Handler) (ABH) and Oak Lawn resident, Miranda Hobson. Congratulations to Miranda on receiving a payment-free vehicle through the Transportation4Heroes program. Thank you for your service to our country!

3 things re the Hegseth vote yesterday: 1. You’ve got to be on time for votes. No excuses 2. Every non-Massie R thinks Major Pete is fit to serve. Hegseth’s temporary exoneration is on them 3. If impeachment is to lead to removal, the House needs to first build the political case

This is NOT a legal defense. 5A protections in criminal trials aren’t relevant here. But POLITICALLY those arguments have salience. So the way this went down preserves options to bring it back in the 120th Congress that we wouldn’t have had if the Senate simply dismissed.

And finally, none of this is to make a prediction about what’s going to happen in the 120th. Woe to the men from whom these offenses have cometh - but how we triage all the offenses is still being sorted. It’s just a reminder not to confuse process with outcomes.

Blocking wind power drives up electricity rates. American consumers pay the price. This administration has already spent billions in tax dollars killing wind projects we'd already invested in, while electric bills keep climbing across the country. My Energy Bills Relief Act with Sean Casten is a real plan to bring working families relief from high energy costs by expanding the cleanest energy, which is also among the most affordable. If the President truly wants to lower bills for working families, he should support our bill.

Careful observers will note that - unlike the last time - Derrick van Orden is absent from this image.
This is how Democrats storm the Capitol.

He stands behind bombing a school and killing hundreds of schoolgirls?? Enough is enough. The Secretary of War Crimes has got to go.
Hegseth: I stand behind every one of these operations. I was proud to execute them, and I would do it again tomorrow.
