🇺🇸 SEN. KELLY: “We said something very simple and non-controversial, and the president said ‘hang them’ — Hegseth is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in our history, and the president doesn’t understand the constitution.”

On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:

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.

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

Donald Trump hates me, and the feeling is mutual.

I believe he is a criminal and an authoritarian who is trying to destroy our democracy and the rule of law. I spend a considerable amount of my time fighting against him and his enablers in court and in public discourse.
Trump Sued Me. I Fought and Won.

We went from a country that defended others from being invaded for their natural resources, to a country that is now threatening to invade others for their natural resources.

Remember a week ago, when MAGA was like "what illegal orders"?
Former US military lawyers speak out:

"The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both."

In case you were wondering why Pete Hegseth tried so hard to get News agencies to sign the Pentagon Pledge, it seems likely one of the main reasons was to try to cover up stories like this.
