This is the exact same excuse that U-852's Captain Eck gave in his war crimes trial for the Peleus Incident: that he was targeting the wreckage not the survivors (who just happened to be killed). He was found guilty and executed by firing squad.

Um, do federal prosecutors *really* want to take the position that it's not okay to receive something of value from … Qatar?

I can think of 747 reasons why they shouldn't. 🤔

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.

Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

WOW! @governor.ca.gov has unleashed an incredibly impactful ad that everyone needs to watch! Pay attention, folks. This is the time to push back, to fight back. It starts today, it continues with the midterms in ‘26, and in ‘28 we end Trumpism for good.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.
