The Trump National Security Strategy is a deeply unserious document—befitting an unserious president. But it is no less dangerous for that. My take: open.substack.com/pub/ivodaald...
Trump's Unserious — But Dangerous — National Security Strategy
Trump's National Security Strategy conveys a flawed, incoherent, and deeply dangerous view of the world and America's role in it. America's allies will shudder; its enemies will rejoice.

America does not have capital punishment for selling or smuggling drugs and none of these people were arrested or tried. There could have been mountains of cocaine in open view on the deck of the boats and it still would have been murder of unarmed civilians.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.

Congrats to the team @innocenceproject.bsky.social and Brian Cave for securing the freedom of Jimmie "Chris" Duncan after 27 years on Death Row in Louisiana. Fake forensic science led to this horrible tragedy.
BREAKING: Jimmie “Chris” Duncan is released on bail Wednesday after being on death row for 27 years. In 1993, Mr. Duncan was wrongfully accused of the death of his then girlfriend’s daughter, who was found unconscious in a bathtub.

When will the GOP renounce POTUS' constant lying to the American public - often on his privately owned Truth Social App? Today he stated that he shut down Venezuelan airspace which he has no authority to do and that drug prices have fallen by 700-800% due to negotiating Most Favored Nation status.

ICE has just under four years to spend $29.9 billion, they are going to outsource AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE to contractors because money is essentially not a problem anymore for the agency.
NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

Center for Medicare/Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a new directive rescinding the long held rule that CMS will not share immigration status with ICE. Now if an undocumented person comes into an ER for life saving care, their personal information will be sent to ICE. So much for "First, do no harm"
