I would call Pete Hegseth a war criminal, but we aren’t at war. He’s just a mass murderer.

Since we aren't in a war, Pete Hegseth isn't technically a war criminal. He's just a garden-variety mass murderer.

it is impossible to imagine any Pentagon lawyer blessing this action. The concept of hors de combat—literally, out of combat—is a fundamental aspect of the law of war that prevents harming those disabled from combat.

The first day of the shutdown, VP Vance tried to claim it’s all the fault of Democrats for wanting to give free health care to undocumented migrants.
In reality, Dems are fighting to reverse Trump’s Medicaid cuts and extend Affordable Care Act tax subsidies set to expire in 2026. trib.al/oWWiyfi

Some CA cities and counties are working to address homelessness with housing, outreach, case management and medical care. Others would make it ILLEGAL and criminally punish Good Samaritans. #SB634 by Senator Perez would KEEP CARE LEGAL all of California! calmatters.org/commentary/2...
Opinion |Cities that ban or criminalize homeless services worsen California’s crisis
A bill on the governor’s desk would stop cities from chasing away supportive services and workers who help unhoused people survive the streets.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Rep. Jasmine Crockett is NOT playing games. She wants Pam Bondi UNDER OATH in front of Congress.
Because if you lied about Epstein’s files, you’re not just a fraud—you’re an accessory to the cover-up of a global sex trafficking ring.
