“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their

This man ripped off teachers, nurses, small business owners - people from all walks of life and professions. Some lost their life savings. Not only did Trump let him out of prison, he also doesn’t have to pay back the victims.

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."

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

Assuming every boat Trump and Hegseth blew up contained the amount of drugs they claim, Hernandez was responsible for bringing more drugs into the US than every one of them had combined. By far. And yet, Trump murders 80+ people and counting while pardoning the narco kingpin.

@eggerdc.bsky.social breaks down a stunning moment: Trump sitting beside Saudi Crown Prince MBS—the man U.S. intel believes ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s murder—and getting angrier at an American reporter asking a legitimate question than at the autocrat who used a bone saw on a journalist.

This is one of those things where, if you said after the first (couple) strikes on Venezuelan boats that they were laying the groundwork for killing people on US soil, you sound crazy. Hysterical.

And then.... When it actually does happen on US soil, it's nearly normalized.
As I observed in my Substack Round Up this past week, the endgame of the military strikes against drug cartels in international waters is to lay the groundwork to use lethal military force against Americans at home. Pay attention open.substack.com/pub/asharang...
