Everything 🍊 touches dies. Not always a terrible thing.

We elected you to Congress to be a check on executive power, not a spectator.

🚨BREAKING: Iranian media agency Tasnim reports that a US pilot may be in the custody of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps after ejecting from an F-35 fighter jet hit by Iranian fire.
