I joined Jim Sciutto on CNN to talk about the Trump administration’s actions involving Venezuela — which they've carried out with zero briefings to Congress — and to share my perspective as a member of the House Intelligence Committee. Watch here:

No one has shared info with intelligence committee nor do I believe any committee and maybe not even gang of 8. Trump follows rule better to ask for forgiveness than for permission. He wants Venezuelan oil. He’s not making any friends in the Caribbean. Only friends are Putin,Netanyahu,&Middle East

I’m scheduled to be on CNN 715 give or take tonight. Sometimes they run over sometimes you know whatever happens with the television, but I suspect we’ll be on.

I’m urging Gov. Lee to apply for Summer EBT before Thursday’s deadline—funding to help feed nearly 700,000 kids in TN while school is out. Last year, the state turned down this funding and ran an alternative that reached only a handful of rural counties—no one in Shelby or Tipton County was served.

Russia Pummels Kyiv Before Trump-Zelensky Meeting www.nytimes.com/2025/12/27/w... I am a big admirer of President Zelensky and I believe he has no choice but to negotiate with Trump, but he might as well be talking to the old KGB. Trump is as much in bed with Putin as Putin was with the KGB.

I’ll listen to part of the deposition. The American people deserve to listen to it as well. Jack Smith is an American hero who has stood up for American values all his life.

When other nations broadcast news that the US has decided is contraband and won’t broadcast, you know you’re living in a third world authoritarian country.

www.facebook.com/share/p/1EyR... Worst KENNEDY CENTER HONORS ratings.Not a surprise as the host is considered a misfit, a felon,a narcissist,a grifter (and that was before he started his theft of the Kennedy legacy)and cultural nerd.The honorees were chosen because 47 liked them,not a large field.

I voted for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and it became law 30 days ago. What this Administration has produced so far is wildly incomplete. They are slow-walking disclosure and shielding key facts about Epstein’s operation. The law is not optional, and defying it will have consequences.
