Welcome to the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace.” (USIP, a nonprofit think tank, was an early target of DOGE.)

My law firm is currently litigating 11 redistricting cases in 10 states. We are also litigating an additional 54 voting and election cases in 27 states.

This is as many cases as we typically handle going into the final months of the election. 2026 will almost certain be a record breaking year.

An important part of arresting the consolidation of authoritarianism is convincing corporations and institutions that Trump will eventually be out of power and at that point they’ll face consequences for their actions and by that standard this is a good sign
Jamie Dimon says JPM hasn't given to the ballroom because "anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful about how anything is perceived." Adds "And also how the next DOJ is going to deal with."

I wonder if the servicemember(s) who finished off the men on the boat know that they may very well be prosecuted for war crimes?

Do they even know or care that they committed murders by following those orders?

They're screwed right now because of the courage they lacked.
🧵A legal scholar finds the killing by special forces of survivors in the Navy attack on an alleged drug boat to be a war crime and murder.

"the currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons “placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.” ...

Remember 6 weeks ago when Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of the U.S. military’s southern command, abruptly decided to retire?
Makes me think at least one top-ranking officer knows what a war crime is.

Hegseth’s foolish threat to investigate Sen. Mark Kelly for urging military to refuse illegal orders is more sickening in light of his illegal order to “kill everyone” after two wounded men survived his first military strike. Hegseth must be held accountable.

Trump’s claim that he’s going to “undo” Biden’s official acts by announcement is 100% made up. It’s not a thing. Nothing in the Constitution that contemplates it.

But if Trump really wants to play this game, I can’t wait for a future POTUS to undo all his pardons of criminals & PDFiles. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The United States military has been reduced to a group of war criminals. Stop the nonsense of thanking them for their service. They're simply a bunch of cheap thugs armed by American taxpayers and out to steal the resources of Venezuela. The International Criminal Court is watching.
