If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

This is a highly unusual order from a Secretary of Defense, and it’s almost certainly a war crime.

In the strike in question, two people survived and were clinging to the side of the ruined boat, and a second mission was spun up to execute them.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

The U.S. military strikes on Caribbean “drug boats” under the Trump regime amount to extrajudicial killings with no public evidence — no due process, no verified proof these people were trafficking drugs, just bombs and bodies. At least 80+ dead so far.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

Fani Willis did nothing wrong. Once again the Trump Gulag created an issue where none existed & the MSM (ignorant journalists who insist they are experts on topics they know nothing about nor research) and gov officials & legal profs jump on the bandwagon. Our country is ruled by greed and dishonor.

Trump’s illegal strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific now have a death toll of over 80. With looming threats of land strikes in Venezuela, Trump is trying to start a new, pointless forever war. I’m doing all I can to stop him.

I'm wondering if Kegseth is hell-bent on going after Mark Kelly because he outranked him. Small men do that kind of thing.

Are you a business that's colluding with ICE? Caving to the biased attacks on DEI? Funding this administration for tax cuts?

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

Let’s be crystal clear: Putin started this war. If he wants it to end, he can march his army right back to Moscow. The invader doesn’t get to play peacemaker.

This 💯 in VA. These republican AGs attack our state schools and are the lawyers for our state schools- it’s disgusting
Ellison: Today, you should never get a Republican AG, because they’re not your AG. They’re Leonard Leo’s AG. They’re Donald Trump’s AG. But they are not your AG. They’re not Louisiana’s AG. They’re not Mississippi’s AG. They’re beholden to others.
