War, elections, and accountability collided this week. From U.S. troops killed in an Iranian strike to the first midterm primaries of 2026 and Epstein depositions finally on the record. Take a closer look at what happened this week.

Veterans are speaking out, and they’re right. The military is not a political prop. It belongs to the people, not any politician. Country First created Reveille & Rally to protect that. Support the fight: reveilleandrally.com
The facts: SNAP fraud is under 1% & able-bodied adults are already required to work. $300 billion in cuts means one thing: taking benefits people earned. That's not fiscal responsibility. Thank you, Congresswoman Kristen McDonald Rivet for speaking the truth.
Insiders are cashing in on this presidency in ways we've never seen before. Better contracts. Tariff carveouts. Suspicious trades placed minutes before market-moving tweets. White collar prosecutions at an all-time low. The swamp wasn't drained. It was expanded.
From the IRS being barred from investigating Trump to a nearly $1.8B fund for January 6th insurrectionists, there’s a lot to unpack this week. Take a look at the headlines and see what you may have missed.
"It's frankly one of the largest scandals...in our country's history." @khanna.house.gov Country first means accountability for all, even the elite. Genuine patriotism requires equal application of rules, laws, and consequences regardless of someone's wealth, status, or connections.
Trump heads to Beijing as inflation hits 3.8%, a new Fed chair is confirmed, the FDA chief is out, and the DOJ is probing recent insider trading. America's finances are hurting, and the president says he's not thinking about it. Here’s this week’s snapshot in case you missed it.
Democracy doesn't run itself. 🇺🇸 Poll workers are the front line of free and fair elections and we need more people willing to step up and defend democracy. Find out if you're eligible in your state 👇 www.country1st.com/poll_workers
"I'm trying to figure out what issues I can work across the aisle and compromise. But I'm also thinking what are the issues where I should never compromise. Where I'm going to stand up for values I believe in." @slotkin.senate.gov This is what holding your values over party & donor lines looks like.
Our actions abroad reveal who we are as a nation and our commitment to American values. Greenland is an Autonomous Territory, and democratic nations should respect its autonomy. When leaders speak with integrity and moral clarity, they reinforce our identity as a nation.
Trump's adviser calls surging credit card spending proof the economy is thriving. Debt isn't a sign of a booming economy, it's often a sign of struggle. Are Americans truly flourishing, or just trying to keep up?

I asked our witnesses at today’s hearing what they would say to Americans who have fallen victim to anti-immigrant rhetoric. Listen to their responses:
I brought a pocket Constitution to the Senate floor to give Congressional Republicans a civics lesson. Only Congress, not the President, has the power to declare war.

History is watching. Republicans must stop their chaos and join us in protecting the American people.
All Minneapolis residents deserve to feel safe living every day life. FAST, our new non-fatal shooting unit will dedicate a response team to interrupt patterns of retaliatory violence and help build safer neighborhoods across the city.
No more “wait and see.” No more “let’s be polite.” ICE is escalating. Trump is enabling. We are not waiting for permission to fight back. This weekend — we show up. We stand up. We shut it down. #ICEOutForGood social.demcast.com/s/gEzZJde6

QUINTESSENTIAL TRUMP GRIFT—just like the wall Mexico never paid for, he’s sticking taxpayers with the ballroom bill. He shook down Fortune 500s for hundreds of millions; now, like his library fund, that money will vanish into his pockets. It’s public theft in plain sight—with Graham as the bag man!🤦🏿♂️
Rivers are the lifeblood of our landscapes - but in many constituencies like mine, they're under threat. It was an honour to present my petition on behalf of constituents, calling on the govt to take further action to address pollution and save the River Wye and its tributaries.
With the hashtag #CloseYourEyesAndEars this is catching on. Ukrainians are following the example of the gymnast by taking videos with eyes and ears closed and using the sound of the Ukrainian air raid siren - let the world hear the conditions in which Ukrainian athletes train every day.
Things got pretty sentimental telling my son he’s going to be a big brother. But there are practical concerns too. Lotta logistics. Double the car seats. Double the daycare. And a preternaturally verbal witness to silence if we ever want to successfully convince the new one he’s adopted.

Like this mom bear sometimes I just want to run and hide from it all---but I soon realize there is no hiding from the horrors perpetrated by ICE and one must call it out everyday in every possible way.
[Eng👇🏼] ¡Buenas noticias e imágenes! Una baula regresó a nuestra playa, anidó y pudimos verla volver al mar durante el amanecer. Good news and beautiful images! A leatherback turtle returned to our beach, nested, and we were able to watch her journey back to the ocean at sunrise.
