I'm starting to get the feeling that "You have a duty to ignore illegal orders" is actually not a thing
The cool thing about Pete Hegseth is he's going to break every single law on the books, no matter how old or obscure.
Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

It's a miracle that the Air Canada cabin crew paid any attention whatsoever to the passengers who brought this to their attention.

Nailed it
When Trump posted that picture of himself of the roof with the caption “soon”, my immediate weirdo interpretation was that he means to ascend into the sky after his death. I still say Trump intends the ballroom to be his king-cult temple. He’s already hijacked Kennedy’s secular king-cult.

Too bad USA Curling doesn't do Bluesky.
Things are grim right now but as a reminder of who we are and why we fight, this is the US Women’s figuring skating champion.

Shocker
Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Judge disqualifies US attorney in New York, tosses Letitia James subpoenas
The ruling comes as federal judges have rebuffed the appointments of top federal prosecutors after the administration used unusual tactics to install them without Senate confirmation.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and Trump's personal Gestapo is randomly executing American citizens. But at least now there won't be any non-binary characters on the new Paw Patrol spin-off.

Showing up and condemning this is one thing, and they're not even doing that. Stopping this is their job. How about they concentrate on that. Because sternly worded statements are not any more effective than thoughts and prayers.
🚨I expect more as a citizen of the United States. Democrats may not be in the majority, but they still have a GD job.

🚨They still collect checks!

Gift article in which Tubin argues that the judge in the Maduro trial should recuse because he is too old.

Alert @jaketapper.bsky.social

Also, are we paying attention to Jeff Tubin again or no?

The same people who yesterday were dismissive of when the Capitol police got the shit kicked out of them by a bloodthirsty mob are today claiming a bunch of unharmed ICE goons were in mortal danger from one woman.

Hello, all. As I begin making my travel plans for the summer, I thought it would be a good idea to figure out all the different brands associated with Hilton Hotels. Just in case. You know.
