How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

Any chance Bondi goes after Noem? 😜
The Justice Department says that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was the Trump administration official behind the decision not to comply with a federal judge’s order to halt the deportation of alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act.
Kristi Noem made final call on deportation flights after judge ordered planes to turn back, DOJ says
The disclosure in a court filing is the first time the Trump administration has said who was responsible for the March decision that drew the ire of a federal judge.

This holiday season, families face a trifecta of economic pressures:
Record-high grocery bills.
The weakest seasonal job market in over a decade.
Rising electricity costs.
Working people are struggling in Trump's economy, but he's too busy building himself a ballroom to notice.

DERANGED!
The six Democrats in Congress who recorded a video informing troops that they could refuse illegal orders said they were being investigated by the FBI. The inquiry is part of a campaign by the Trump administration to seek retribution against the president’s perceived political enemies.
