I didn’t see that. That’s incredible.

If a bunch of major retailers joined together to do the same, we could see real, and immediate action on the tariffs.

“He once boasted that he would ‘stuff the drugs up the gringos’ noses.’ He accepted a $1 million bribe from El Chapo to allow cocaine shipments to pass through Honduras.”

Trump pardoned him, and Juan Orlando Hernández has now been released from US federal prison.

Pete Hegseth is a national disgrace that needs to resign or be fired immediately. Let’s push hard to make it happen.

So, seems like we’re not all that serious about fighting the war on drugs after all.

Epstein email to Bannon, 2018: "Massages. Not Included.”

"While privately telling Epstein that the stories about his pedophilia were a 'sophisticated op'" Bannon publicly suggested "that child abuse conspiracies were 'directionally ... correct.'"

@monacharen.bsky.social on Bannon's vile hypocrisy.
Steve Bannon Was Epstein’s Comeback Consultant. Where’s the Uproar?
The MAGA architect is escaping opprobrium for his chummy relationship with the notorious pedophile.

Shame, all those years of SEALs & DEVGRU but Bradley couldn't spot an obvious trap set up by the world's least trustworthy people.

Of course the illegal order they gave Bradley which he followed has now become his "combat decision" for which he is responsible. It was always going to be that way.
If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

The White House is defending Pete Hegseth on the boat strikes, but the legal fallout is growing.

On #playbookpod, Jack Blanchard and Paul McLeary explain the chain-of-command questions and what it means for the Pentagon.

the first strike was illegal as well, so there's also that.

I’m sure the self-proclaimed ‘most transparent White House in history’ won’t mind a thorough investigation into the second strike.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Republican-led House and Senate committees say they will amplify their scrutiny of the Pentagon after a WaPo report revealing that Pete Hegseth gave a spoken order to kill all crew members aboard a vessel suspected of smuggling drugs in the Caribbean several weeks ago.

Reading the deposition he gave in Chicago you can understand why it is that Judge Ellis tore into him.

The first substantive question is "What is your role in Operation Midway Blitz?" Bovino essentially gives his title and no further details. 8 pages later, the lawyer gives up.
