This shows you how muddled the rationale is. On the one hand, the target was the capsized boat. On the other hand, the target were the men who could've "floated to safety". Which is it? What did JAGs say in that 41-minute gap? And did Adm Bradley sign up to kill shipwrecked people from the air?

Todd Blanche is now warning lawyers who criticize Trump's Justice Department:
The DOJ's No. 2 official suggested that lawyers might have a harder time winning lenient treatment for corporate clients if they've publicly accused the Trump administration of being lax on white-collar crime.

Another example is Mexico's national expansion of heavy rail mass transit. A state-run Chinese trainset manufacturer is the contractor.

Whats the difference between an order “to kill the people” and a “no quarter” order? I can well believe Hegseth said the former but not the latter, but isn’t the consequence the same? If this is accurate, Bradley’s denial seems to be very narrowly worded. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/u...

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

Indiana state House Republicans have passed a new congressional gerrymander intended to turn their 7-2 majority into 9-0.
It’s unclear whether they have the votes to pass it in the Senate, where many Republican holdouts have been swatted or received bomb threats from Trump supporters
