I worked these issues with Todd.

He knows what he’s talking about.

Because there is no legitimate war between the two sides, killing any of the men in the boats “amounts to murder,” said Todd Huntley, a former military lawyer who advised Special Operations forces for seven years at the height of the U.S. counterterrorism campaign. Even if the U.S. were at war with the traffickers, an order to kill all the boat’s occupants if they were no longer able to fight “would in essence be an order to show no quarter, which would be a war crime,” said Huntley, now director of the national security law program at Georgetown Law.

If joking about Charlie Kirk is considered “violent rhetoric,” how do we describe open calls to hang members of Congress?

The federal workers who take care of our veterans, inspect our food, and help people through natural disasters know Trump’s lawlessness is hurting everyday Americans and they are begging Congress to stop it.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

Sun light reflecting on water and rocks near a mountain. Light burst from a lamp on a table with two glasses and a drink can sitting on the table. Light reflecting on glass with a mirror image of a man with a tattoo. Light reflecting on glass with silhouette of two people mirrored on the glass counter and well as the window.

Sitting in the parking lot of Trader Joe's. Dead car. My hood up. The only person who asked if I need help..a woman. Man in his car two cars down hasn't said a word to me. Just left. Men all over this parking lot...nothing. Chivalry is dead.

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13.

I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."
RFK Jr. is wrong about autism
His lies endanger neurodivergent people — and everyone else.

When there are no consequences for your bad behavior, you continue to do it because you know you can get away with it. This will not end until the consequences teach the lesson. He is arrogant and doesn't care. Why should he?

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat."

Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat
The defense secretary sent sensitive information about strikes in Yemen to an encrypted group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said.

I kept my marriage last name after my divorce because it is my children's last name and a pain in the ass to change everything after 21 years of marriage. This is not good.

Things that caught my eye on a Sunday Funday photo walk.

Brass door knob and plate behind a white gate with a padlock and chain locking the gate. Red, curved, metal back on a wooden bench. Sleeping dog photographed through spokes on a bike tire. Golden hour sunset in the rear view mirror of a car with the view out the front windshield also in the photo.
