Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces. Not surprising. What IS surprising? Our response: easing oil sanctions on Russia.

Full breakdown on this and more from my Weekend Update on my Substack page: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/weekend-vi...

Oppose Nomination of Casey Means for Surgeon General The Senate HELP Committee is scheduled to hold a hearing on the nomination of Casey Means to serve as U.S. Surgeon General on Wednesday, February 25th. While we were hoping this nomination was dead, i...

Tired of unqualified hacks running the U.S. public health system? I sure am.

Sometimes it feels like there is nothing we can do to fight this.

But right now, we can write letters to our Senators to oppose Casey Means as Surgeon General to prevent yet another quack from gaining power.

A lot of us veterans are not ok right now.

Do not EVER ask a veteran if they killed someone.

Do not ask us if we wish we could go fight again.

No human should experience war. Period.

Why Trump Is Partnering With Christian Nationalists | Robert Reich
Why Trump Is Partnering With Christian Nationalists | Robert Reich Donald Trump keeps comparing himself to Jesus.Whether he actually has a messiah complex or is just conning his supporter

Top U.S. military commanders have reportedly told their troops that Trump's War on Iran will "cause Armageddon and mark Jesus' return to earth."

It's yet another example of the dangerous relationship Trump has cultivated with Christian nationalists.

Raise your hand if you would rather domestic spending on Homeland Security be spent on deterring and protecting us from retaliatory hits from Iran,

than on ICE cosplay Gestapo terrorizing abuelas and little kids in our communities because they aren’t white.

Buttigieg: You’ve got money from the Middle East going into the Trump family crypto fund while you have Americans going to the Middle East for Donald Trump’s war.

Every time I read an article or see a headline about America's current economic woes it pisses me off. I get pissed because it is all self inflicted. The people who chose to vote white instead of right, helped usher in the economic shit show being pushed by Toupee Fiasco.

Trump SNAPS at reporter over Iran question, demands football focus
Trump SNAPS at reporter over Iran question, demands football focus YouTube video by MS NOW

During a White House event on college football, Trump mocked and shut down a question about Russia allegedly helping Iran target U.S. assets. β€œWhat a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We’re talking about something else,” said Trump.

Oh suddenly this Republican cares about β€œthe truth”?

Another exemplar of the Republican motto: I care not when it happens to thee, but I care greatly when it happens to me.

of the Dem Party is repeatedly exposed.
They let outrage after outrage after outrage go by and have ZERO coordinated responses.

The complete lack of expertise of any kind is a problem. Let alone morals, brains, or restraint.

You are grinding the wrong axe.

Makes it easy to oppose Casey Means’ nomination.

Please participate.

We have to stop the destruction of science and public health.

Komrade Krasnov has been Putin’s simp since 1987.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Basically all of the bad economic news this term is because the president deliberately decided to do something moronic. He is much more personally responsible for this than most presidents are for the downturns in their administration.
