The “kill them all” order by SecDef Hegseth would be a textbook war crime even if the original attack had been legal.
It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).
There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz made clear: “This war can only end with Ukraine’s full consent. It cannot be resolved by great powers over the heads of those under attack.” He stressed that Europe must be part of any solution and warned that Ukraine’s defeat would destabilize the entire continent.

There has never been a clearer example of the fact that we do not have a legislature in the United States right now. Trump tells them to vote no, so they all vote no. Then Trump changes his mind and they all change their votes. That is autocracy. Vote them out!

The Trump regime has fired an estimated 70 immigration judges since February. This is happening as immigration courts face a record backlog of cases.

Mamdani's hero is LaGuardia. He just mentioned him again. And I maintain he has more in common with New Dealers than socialists. But you can't responsibly write about him without writing about the Milwaukee "sewer socialists" of 1910-60. Nothing he says is new, only the applications.

In Trump's telling, all that stands between us and permanent one-party rule is three Republican Senators.
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

@govevers.wisconsin.gov does Wisconsin law allow for something similar?
Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not.
