If another country blew up our civilians, we’d call it murder

The Sept 2 incident appears to be unlawful

No wonder Adm. Halsey reportedly refused to take part!

How are we supposed to trust the FBI & DOJ after years of watching Donald Trump denigrate & politicize them? That question was brought into sharp focus by the arrest earlier this week of Brian Cole, Jr., on bomb planting charges. joycevance.substack.com/p/charges-in...
Charges in the RNC/DNC Bomb Planting Case
Can we trust the FBI and this Justice Department after years of watching Donald Trump denigrate and politicize those previously independent agencies?

To be clear, if a military vessel tries to flee an engagement (say, to rejoin its fleet), you can fire on it again. But if what the WSJ is saying, then Bradley and his JAG tormented that logic to inanity - and I'd bet they did so because they were trying to conform to Hegseth's orders.
This is why, after a battle, you execute any wounded trying to crawl away.

Eh? You *don't* do that?

It's barbaric, cruel, and evil?

Has anyone told Hicseth this?

However this Tennessee race turns out, this is an unbelievable change over Trump’s 22 pt. victory a year ago. Are my Republican colleagues ready to join us to vote to bring health care premiums down? You have my number.

Republican candidate won a very close special election in Tennessee. Dems staying on a strong progressive message is the big story, forcing Republicans to spend more than they should have—Trump took this state by 22 points last year. Dems lost election, but this is a huge shift ahead of midterms.

The law bars Trump from messing with DOJ's Epstein files

But he could still try to bury the truth by withholding docs or redacting them

We @democracydefendersfund.org won't let that happen—that's why we went to court to assure oversight

I spoke with @latimes.com👇 www.latimes.com/politics/sto...
Could Trump destroy the Epstein files?
Bipartisan fervor has grown over the Epstein files, with House lawmakers across party lines expected to unite behind a bill on Tuesday that would compel the release of the documents.

Mike Johnson: "Democrats are trying to use the Epstein matter as a political weapon to distract from their own party's failures. In a desperate attempt, they're trying to somehow tie President Trump to the scandal. President Trump has nothing to do with it. He said himself he has nothing to hide."

I still don’t trust MTG as far as I could throw her, but good on her for standing up for what’s right. I hope she’s not doing it just for her political future endeavors.

"We are hearing the administration say they intend to investigate various Dems who were friends with Epstein. I beg you President Trump -- please stop making this political. It is not about you. Show some class. I voted for you, but your behavior on this issue has been a national embarrassment."

Epstein survivors are speaking out right now on the steps of the Capitol before the House vote this am. Watch on MSNOW, CNN, C-SPAN, etc. (Fox Noise is not covering this press conference, no surprise.)
