So military folks are mad that Hegseth isn't taking responsibility for the second strike - but if you carried out an unlawful order, that's on you, too. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Hegseth, with White House help, tries to distance himself from boat strike fallout
As Congress vows accountability, the Trump administration emphasized it was a top military commander — not the defense secretary — who directed the engagement.

Evaluating nominees is explicitly his job as a Senator. What "others" can give advice and consent of the senate?
Vote these spineless cowards out of their majorities so we can actually have some oversight on this serial criminality.

The Trump admin just fired eight immigration judges in New York City.
All the judges were dismissed from the immigration offices at 26 Federal Plaza — a building that houses the NYC headquarters of ICE and has become the epicenter of migrant arrests in the city.

Indiana Republicans have unveiled their proposal to re-gerrymander the congressional map & expand their current 7-2 majority to 9-0.
The Dem-held 1st would flip to Trump+12 & the 7th to Trump+19. All 7 GOP seats would be at least Trump+18.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.
A chapter in Hegseth’s book is literally titled “More Lethality, Less Lawyers.”
It’s almost as if there were signs!
