Video evidence appears to have now confirmed a war crime was committed.

The Department of Justice must open an investigation and Secretary Hegseth must resign.

At some point you have to stop doing 3D-chess and playing pundit-brained games and say "this is a crime and the Constitution tells us what Congress is obligated to do about that."

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.

He shouldn’t just be pushed out as the House Democrats’ leader; he needs to be primaried out of his seat entirely. Just a complete waste of a deep blue seat.
Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

The boat strikes are illegal. Dope couriers are not military combatants. So killing them with air strikes instead of arresting them is murder. It’s that simple.

We only need 4 House Republicans to join us.

This televised meeting with Trump is a real life “the Emperor has no clothes” moment.

His entire Cabinet is going around lavishing him with praise about his strength and touting supposed accomplishments, but he is having trouble staying awake or even holding his head upright.
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

The Trump administration just pardoned and released a convicted Honduran drug lord from prison—a guy who is responsible for bringing literal tons of cocaine into the U.S.

I cannot say this enough: this is the most corrupt administration in American history.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.

But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.

The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Posting stupid memes after being accused of murder is the response of a sneering, spoiled punk who has been caught doing wrong and is now daring the local fuzz to take him in and risk the anger of his rich dad—a role fulfilled by Donald Trump, in this case.

They keep calling them “kinetic strikes” for some reason, as if the particular method of murder remotely matters here.

Maybe it’s just because they’re dumb and they think it sounds cool?
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?

LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.
