Sen. Paul is right. These are murders.
Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."

Long 🧵 but worth a read:

(Rs will forever rationalize their baggage if Ds accept Platner's. It's hypocrisy on steroids; Ds can never hold Rs accountable again if he is embraced.)
1. Graham Platner is an oyster farmer and Marine Corps veteran who’s running for the United States Senate in Maine. He’s trying to knock off Susan Collins. He’s presented himself as a common-man candidate who stands against oligarchy, genocide and the oppression of the little guy.

Trump’s Mar-a-White House
The president is desecrating a symbol of liberal democracy and replacing it with a tacky, bloated eyesore.

This is how the Young Republicans of Texas & Turning Point USA at Clemson addressed the racist, Nazi-supporting & rape apologists of the Young Republicans organization, recently exposed by Politico.

Repulsive & unacceptable. This is not okay.

I’ve said it but I’m going to continue saying it, for documentation sake.

The posts from the President and White House like this are a shame for the office of the presidency — no matter who holds it. Continued in comments

So, who is he talking about?

Illegal immigrants?
Legal immigrants?
Leftists?
Democrats?
Never Trumpers? (yikes that's ME)
Minorities?

All of the above?
Trump to generals: "America is under invasion from within. We're under invasion from within. No different than a foreign enemy, but more difficult in any ways because they don't wear uniforms. At least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out."

Exhibit A at The Hague just dropped
Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

👀 Just Now -- President Trump in the Oval Office said a government shutdown gives his administration the power to cut benefit programs, which include Social Security and Medicare.

Donald Trump is an anti-constitutional president who finds new ways every day to violate his oath to "preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States"

Here, he tells military leaders they will play a major role in fighting the "war from within" in American cities

Unconscionable
Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

Hegseth has had a lot of bad ideas, but this one is disruptive and even somewhat dangerous. All of these men and women have real jobs they should be doing.

Why Does Hegseth Want More Than 800 Admirals and Generals in the Same Room?
Few things are important enough to justify the security risk of putting all of these people in the same place.
