Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

Unbelievable. Trump-aligned figures are now trying to raid the U.S. Treasury by turning their own criminal and unethical conduct into giant payout claims and the DOJ is actually entertaining it.

Honestly if Disney feels like the material of late night comics are not “on brand” for the company (as some defenders of Iger have claimed), then maybe it should stick to amusement parks and get out of broadcast TV. I say this as a Disney shareholder. (And good for Eisner for speaking up!)

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?
