One of the most important episodes I have done as Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social doesn't suffer fools & delivers the insight we need about what is going on with these strikes:
The details are coming out fast and furious about the 9/2 vessel strike.

US Army Ret. Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social gives REAL insight into what went down that day & why the Trump Administration’s “lethality over legality” is destroying America’s credibility.

They need to be independent.
They need to be courageous.. even when it feels difficult.
They need to serve the American people rather than the White House.
They need to have good judgment and a sensible model.. of how the economy works overall.
And they need to show intellectual leadership

Threatening to punish app stores if they don’t remove apps the government dislikes is unconstitutional.This time it’s ICEBlock, but tomorrow it could be a news app.

Good for ICEBlock for standing up for everyone’s First Amendment rights.

More than any president before him, Trump has embraced an expanded meaning of the “commander in chief” that extends far beyond its narrow military meaning to cover all kinds of authoritarian nonsense, but as soon as there’s an actual military scandal, he’s running away from it as fast as he can.
POLITICO: Do you believe the second strike was necessary?

TRUMP: Uhhhh. Well it looked like they were trying to turn back over the boat. But I don't get involved in that. That's up to them.

SCOTUS will hear arguments today to decide whether or not to strike down party coordination limits.

The court's recent history on campaign finance has been marked by a naivety (willful blindness?) to the impact of these decisions. What could go wrong this time?

Trump said he’d have “no problem” releasing the full Venezuela boat strike video. He’s backpedaling because the truth is ugly and he knows it looks like a war crime.

FWIW, I think both Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico are awesome and I think either one would be a great nominee.

As someone who actually lives and votes in Texas, I will be happy with either Jasmine Crockett or James Talarico as my next senator. We are lucky to have two amazing Democratic candidates running in this primary.

It's so refreshing to see someone who refuses to engage in the pettiness and mean-spiritedness of ad hominem, character assassination politics.

Godspeed, @jamestalarico.bsky.social, may your example be a catalyst for positive change!

Yet again, actual data show wind and solar are the least expensive power on the grid (and getting cheaper by the day). So the Trump administration is just lying about that.
