The Trump administration plans to require all foreign tourists to provide their social media histories from the last five years to enter the country.

Yes, I said TOURISTS — not immigrants. This is insane. It will DECIMATE the U.S. tourism industry.
Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

💥 Powerful words from Sen. Mark Kelly.

“He’s trying to silence me, but he’s not silencing me. I will do my job every single day whether this president wants to kill me, hang me, execute me, or shut me up. I’m not going to shut up.”

That is what real courage sounds like.

Even the legal justification for drone strikes on senior members of al Qaeda and associated forces (ostensibly covered under the 2001 AUMF) states that strikes are justified only “when capture is infeasible”
This is contemptible. Not only do we now have confirmation Hegseth has been lying from the jump, but it seems neither he nor his team understand that killing everyone on a target list *becomes* an illegal No Quarter Order if targets try to surrender or are neutralized. Their semantic games are vile.

ICE is literally being used by a fascist criminal regime as their personal army to assault, abduct, kidnap, imprison and terrorize people of color and their perceived enemies. They aren’t a lawful agency, they’re a criminal Gestapo.

Schiff: "I think that all of these strikes are unlawful. They are a form of extrajudicial killing. These boats are not invading the US in an armed assault ... the fact the administration may put a group of organizations on a list doesn't confer on a president the ability to kill them at sea."

Somehow this is the worst part.

Yet again I'd like to thank the publishing industry, Hollywood, and Yale Law School for ensuring this bigot's rise to prominence.

So military folks are mad that Hegseth isn't taking responsibility for the second strike - but if you carried out an unlawful order, that's on you, too. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Hegseth, with White House help, tries to distance himself from boat strike fallout
As Congress vows accountability, the Trump administration emphasized it was a top military commander — not the defense secretary — who directed the engagement.

Aaaaaand…this is exactly why the six lawmakers needed to remind servicemembers about not obeying unlawful orders (this will get driven home when Hegseth gets a pardon but no one else does)
NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike

Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

These boat strikes will be nothing compared to the war crimes they will commit after they initiate regime change to seize Venezuelan oil companies.

Since I haven’t seen anyone mention this: When the U.S. commits war crimes it puts our troops in danger also, as it gives a green light to other countries that they can do the same to us

Remember in May when Trump gave asylum to 17 family members of the Sinaloa cartel after making a deal with El Chapo’s son? And did you know in 2013, El Chapo bribed Juan Hernandez- who trump just pardoned - in exchange for protection in Honduras? I’m sure it’s all just a coincidence.

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime.

If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes.

This is how things work.

Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.
