Debbie Wasserman Schultz called President Trump’s deal with Russia to release diesel supplies a “desperate political move” to help Republicans before the midterms, saying he prioritizes his party’s prospects over the cost of living. She also called Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s plan for Nidal Hasan’s public execution “sickening” and “horrific,” questioning how children could be kept from seeing it.
