It also goes to just how much Hegseth is loathed in the middle and upper officer ranks and senior civil service of the armed forces.
They wouldn't have leaked something like this if they didn't outright hate him.

Democrats should commit now to disregarding any presidential pardons issued before charges have been filed. Whether or not Trump tries to sign blanket pardons for officials like Hegseth, they should be arrested as soon as Trump leaves office.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

This should enrage everyone.

Kelly didn’t do anything wrong here, and he certainly didn’t do anything worthy of a court martial
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

Fun fact:

After the Texas ruling and Indiana failing to redraw their maps, Democrats are now projected to win the redistricting battle.

We told you not to start that dumb shit.

Donald Trump and JD Vance were not welcome at today’s Dick Cheney funeral.

If that doesn’t send a message to the Republican Party, I’m not sure what will at this point.

As Karoline Leavitt concludes her press briefing and walks off, @andrewfeinberg.com asks: "What was the president doing with Virginia Giuffre for hours at Epstein's house?"

It's amazing how Trump, the lunatic, will spout off the stupidest things (50 year mortgages, $2,000 tariff rebate checks, $10,000 for all the good air traffic controllers who didn't "call out") and the media then feels the need to analyze the idiocy as if it somehow plausible.
