The United States military has slaughtered people, and abetted the slaughter of people, across the world for generations. And unlike previous administrations which have tried to obfuscate, downplay or "aw shucks, we'we sowwy" that fact, Trump admin 2.0 wears it like a badge of honor.
“Leavitt told reporters at the White House press briefing that Hegseth authorized Adm. Frank Bradley to carry out the second strike, which reportedly killed two people who were hanging onto the burning vessel after an initial strike.” Wow. 12/1/25 thehill.com/homenews/562...

Donald Trump is a convicted criminal.
The Trump administration is a criminal organization.
Rebuilding American democracy will require massive efforts to expunge his work. Removing his nominees, erasing his executive legacy and rescinding his pardons will be just the beginning

Trump’s inevitable exit "will be a day to celebrate, even while we acknowledge how much work lies ahead—not only to begin to repair the destruction and hold the criminals accountable, but also to reimagine how we can build a progressive future." www.americaamerica.news/p/hello-911-...
“Hello, 911? A Violent Man Is Holding Our Country Hostage"
Trump's sadism and lawless hostility were knowable before he retook office. Can America ever overcome its attraction to violent demagogues?

@markhertling.bsky.social warns the gravest threat to the U.S. military is the erosion of the values that keep our forces lawful and legitimate. He implores Congress to investigate whether unlawful orders were issued in the Caribbean, and hold every official to account.

Leavitt: "The NYT took about 1/3 of the president's daily calendar & schedule & said that he's doing less than he did in his first term, or he might not be fit for the job. That is unequivocally false and it's deeply unfortunate that the story was written ... he is taking meetings around the clock"

Today is World AIDS Day. The White House ignored the AIDS crisis when it began because a Republican (Reagan) was president. The United States is no longer observing World AIDS Day because another Republican (Trump) is president. #Bigots

The follow up to his eventual explanation should be:
1)it was a US jury that convicted him.
2) Emil Bove, your pick for the third circuit and your own former defense attorney, helped lead the prosecution?

talking to reporters last night, Trump claimed of Hegseth's double tap strike that "I don't know anything about it," then moments later claimed "I don't who you're talking about" when asked his plan to pardon the former Honduran president
