In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Next week, some environmental orgs will likely be charged w/ bogus accusations by POTUS. Here’s the deal: we stand together. An attack on one is an attack on all. Those not named aren’t off the hook; they have to lean in to support those falsely accused. #unity

This was an historic failure of leadership. Indivisible groups across the country are meeting today to discuss next steps for accountability. Stay tuned.
In 2021, McConnell successfully filibustered a Democratic CR ahead of a government shutdown and forced them to accept a clean one instead. What happened this week - a total cave on a totally partisan long-term funding bill - hasn’t happened in the 20 years I’ve covered Congress.
