If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

Pete Hegseth Should Be Charged With Murder
No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

(NYT: free) Sad for sure. And yet, this wretched decision by Trump is so like him. His singular value is his quality of consistency, as revoting as it is.

Veterans who fought and died for freedom and democracy are called "suckers and losers" by draft dodger Donald Trump. He is cutting food assistance and routinely proposes cuts in programs affecting veterans. Trump wants OUR military to invade countries to pirate their resources for HIM.

There needs to be trials and there needs to be people sent to die in a prison cell. Consequences must fall on the people who issued the orders and those who carried them out. We must make the punishment of these people a national spectacle that will be remembered for generations.

It’s been 10 days since we learned Tom Homan was caught on tape taking a $50,000 cash bribe from an undercover FBI agent.
Is anyone in Washington going to do a damn thing about it, or are we just accepting this level of corruption in our government?

Tom Homan investigated for accepting $50,000 from FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
The FBI and Justice officials closed the investigation, which a Justice Department appointee had called a “deep state” probe in early 2025.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.
