If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Republicans planning to resign would normally warm one's heart but the wrong Rs are probably the ones searching for the exit. MTG aside, the wrong Rs have dropped out. We need more moderates who will stand up to that orange turd, not the suckups.

As expected, SCOTUS blocks the order that found Texas congressional map is likely racially biased. Looks like they will take it up and make a decision.

Supreme Court's 2019 ruling in Rucho v. Common Cause, deemed partisan gerrymandering nonjusticiable.

It should not be allowed to happen.
