Queer-coded transit news: the M train is taking over some of the F train’s service and the F train is taking some of the M train’s service. So, put simply, F to M and M to F.

This should be the the top headline on every major paper and news site right now.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

There must be a reckoning. Whatever sane party emerges after all of this must hold these criminals accountable.
Hegseth's not the only war criminal here. "The [USSOCOM] commander overseeing the operation from Fort Bragg in North Carolina, Adm. Frank M. 'Mitch' Bradley, told people on the secure conference call that the survivors were still legitimate targets... He ordered the second strike."

From the guy who can declassify documents with his mind and announces "law" on Truth Social...
It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

Tweet of the day. It is quite something when Trump's go to architect comes to him and says Sir, what you're describing is gauche, tacky and monstrous.
Imagine the quality of an architect that Trump would pick - and who would want to work for him. Even *that guy* thinks this project is too grandiose.
Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

These images are still gut-wrenching. He actually tore down the East Wing. I know it's small potatoes given <waves hands>, but he tore down the East Wing of the People's White House.

This is true of too many people in the admin to enumerate. They are dumb and ridiculous and also terrible people who are committing a lot of crimes and doing a lot of harm.
Hegseth is a war criminal and I think it doesn’t get the attention it deserves because he’s also stupid and it’s hard to reconcile the gravity of his crimes with his clownish persona www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

I’m not an expert in the law of war, but an order to kill injured people who were not posing a single threat to anyone would seem to me to be a possible war crime.

The symbolism of the reflecting pool between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial, capturing our nation on the cusp of Reconstruction, looking back to the First Founding and seeking to improve on their flawed ideal of a more perfect union is something I'm not willing to lose.
We know he'll do it. We cannot stand by and let him destroy the iconic memorials to democracy.
No, no, no. I will swim laps in the reflecting pool 24/7 if I have to... (Please someone make this a relay?)

Someone is making an ad with a montage of Trump verbally attacking journalists, right? (Ideally going back to Trump 1.0.) That should basically play on repeat from now until next November. I am so sick of this

Seeing OLC’s “Murder Memo” would be interesting in the context of the debate over lawful orders.
The Trump Admin has conducted 21 unauthorized military strikes in the Caribbean & East Pacific—killing 83 people—without giving Americans a full explanation. I’m leading my colleagues in demanding the declassification & public release of documents justifying these airstrikes.
