The Trump Murder Memo is an admission of legal vulnerability on boat bombings. Read @dandrezner.bsky.social: "It is extremely unusual for a DOJ memo to preemptively declare that members of the armed forces are immune from prosecution."

It is interesting to me how the media seems far less interested in Trump's Murder Memo than you'd expect. Only a few reporters seem to be even trying to get a hold of it, and very few commentators are talking about it. Contrast that with Bush's torture memo, which was a national obsession. Weird.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!
It gets even darker than that. 1/

Trump Boat Bombings Take Dark, Unnerving Turn with Leaked Memo Stunner
A new Trump administration memo argues that those carrying out the boat attacks can’t be prosecuted. Why? Because the administration says so!

The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

I think I'm finally taking on a new pet project and work on a mobile game.
I always wanted this.
It's financially probably a bad idea. Also time wise.
But since I was I child I wanted to be a game dev.
And maybe 2026 is the year it finally happens.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

Can you use your favorite Expo & React Native libraries on Meta Quest? Mostly, yes. But for key native features, you'll need specific alternatives.

Update for devs: React Native in 2025 has matured. With the Fabric renderer, there’s direct JS-to-native rendering (no slow bridge), synchronous UI updates, and shared layout logic for Android + iOS.
