Excellent summary.
News Analysis: By ordering the U.S. military to summarily kill a group of people aboard what he said was a drug-smuggling boat, President Trump used the military in a way that had no clear legal precedent or basis, according to specialists in the laws of war and executive power.
Trump Claims the Power to Summarily Kill Suspected Drug Smugglers
The move to treat criminals as if they were wartime combatants escalated an administration pattern of using military force for law enforcement tasks at home and abroad.

“[These] inner-city rats, they live off the federal government. And that’s one reason we’re $37 trillion in debt. And it’s time we find these rats and we send them back home, that are living off the American taxpayers, that are working very hard every week to pay taxes.” www.al.com/politics/202...

I have a kind of fantasy or maybe it is just a wish. I imagine everyone…each of us…taking time on July 4th to read the Declaration of Independence with our friends and family. Read every word out loud. We would be a different country the day after. We need it.
Today, it became abundantly clear that the Trump administration, their militarized thugs, Congressional Republicans, and conservatives on the Supreme Court are governing, better yet ruling, like they’ll hold power forever.
Unless we fight back, they just might succeed.

The greatest tragedy isn't that the person in our highest seat of power lacks a single benevolent impulse, that he is impervious to compassion, incapable of nobility, and mortally allergic to simple kindness.
The greatest tragedy is how many Americans he now represents—and that he represents you.

Gen’l Eisenhower was a man who knew war, and of the cost of war. His words of wisdom:
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

Yesterday's parade was a huge waste of money. It was a bad look politically on many levels (it was fascist, it was boring, modest turnout, tepid crowd). It did not achieve its goal of honoring the military. In fact, it was a bad look for the army. Ragtag. Sloppy. Ill-conceived from start to finish.
