Let’s be clear: these are extrajudicial killings. “Kill them all” Hegseth needs to be held accountable.

What’s more, Trump promised the American people no new wars but is now manufacturing this conflict & lying about his motives.

This warmongering has got to stop.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

We are NOT at war.

All of it is a crime.

All of it.
Q: "A new WaPo report says that Secretary Hegseth called for everyone aboard the first suspected drug boat that was targeted to be killed when two people survived…with a follow-on strike."

Sen. Tim Kaine: "If that reporting is true it…rises to the level of a war crime."

Just once I'd like to hear a TV news anchor say, "Sir, that's not true, and if you keep insisting it is, we're going to end this interview to protect our viewers from further disinformation. And we won't invite you back."

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

The Republican chairs of both the House and Senate Armed Services committees signed a letter yesterday stating that they requested specific info many weeks ago on these strikes and the WH & Pentagon have refused to provide it. If the story is fake news, then turn everything over.

One sign that your brain is super good is when your doctors keep giving you cognitive tests
Reporter: Governor Walz called for the release of your MRI results

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.

Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?

Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.

Of course it’s what he is saying. He is the emptiest publicly known human being on the planet.
Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work.

Aside from the extremely dubious question of whether the occupants of the Venezuelan boat even qualified as “combatants,” ordering a second strike from an aircraft for the sole purpose of killing defenseless people was absolutely an illegal order.

We don’t know yet why they were shot, and I truly hope they will be OK, but one thing is certain - If Donald hadn’t been treating our National Guard like his f-n show ponies, these two Guardsman would likely be with their families right now and not lying in a hospital in critical condition. 🤬

My heart is with the National Guard members shot and killed near the White House today and their families who are left to grieve — the day before Thanksgiving.

These shootings are senseless and frequent. They impact everyone. We have to do more.

$937,989.39: That's the amount of the penalty owed by Trump and Alina Habba, according to a new appeals court decision, which upheld a 2023 ruling that Trump and Habba committed "sanctionable conduct" by filing a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and James Comey.

This incredibly irresponsible alcoholic idiot is calling for 500 additional troops in Washington. Because that won't incite more violence.

Everything about this silly "Secretary of War" is about saber rattling and pretending he is so strong. He really must have been picked on in school.

📰 A tally by Reuters reveals the scale: At least 470 people, organizations and institutions have been targeted for retribution since Trump took office – an average of more than one a day. Some were singled out for punishment; others swept up in broader purges.
