It was physically impossible for that boat to reach anywhere close to the United States, even before it was a flaming upside-down wreck, and Tom Cotton knows that. He's not that stupid, he just thinks everyone else is. This kind of dishonesty is inseparable from egotistical arrogance.

Lawfare's Trump Administration Litigation Tracker is currently following 253 active cases challenging Trump administration actions, 19 suits by the administration challenging state or local laws, and 6 criminal prosecution. Check it out at lawfaremedia.org/trumptracker

Nor could that boat, before it was bombed, reach the United States. That’s important because it refutes the laughable claim of “imminence” necessary to wrap the strikes under the auspices of a lawful armed conflict.

"The North Korean Pink Lady", Ri Chun Hee, is the propaganda voice of North Korea. Newsom's comm team used her image for absolutely brilliant satire and a political statement in reference to the always nauseating trump cabinet round table adulation the other day.

Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.

Rand Paul tells me that he wants the full video of the Venezuelan boat strike released. “And I think if the public sees images of people clinging to boat debris and being blown up, I think that there is a chance that finally, the public will get interested enough in this to stop this.”

rfk jr wants to kill your kids, it’s really that simple.

"Trump and his top aides are re-creating in America the conditions and terrors of failed states," George Packer writes, by "erasing the distinction between the perpetrators and victims of violence":

The Trump regime is murdering people in boats. They're desperately trying to confuse the issue with their "fog of war" bullshit. But the fact is, they're murdering people in boats.

They need to release this video to the public

GOP Rep. Mike Turner: "This activity that's happening in the Caribbean where they are hitting these boats -- these individuals if they were captured and tried and convicted, they would be guilty of criminal activity for which they're not subject to capital punishment. These people are being killed."

#Trump #SurplusPopulation Dickens: "Early in the story, Scrooge suggests that poor people ought to die and thereby “decrease the surplus population.”" Trump: "Somalians are garbage." Hegseth: "the only people who actually deserve peace are those who are willing to wage war" afsc.org/newsroom/bil...

#Hegseth #WarCrime On September 2 the order was "Kill them all." By October 19 the order had been changed to return survivors to their home countries,avoiding detention & intl law. WHO changed the order? WHAT commander carried out these 2 differing orders? Count the deaths in this learning curve.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

#Trump #HateSpeech And Pip the Squeaker says calling Somalians "garbage" is also against the Constitution which says all people are created equal. It is hate speech televised. He called a US citizen and elected official "garbage." When will he be removed?

"And he likes surrounding himself with those of the same ilk: Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, and Kristi Noem, the secretary of homeland security, who impeded and slow-walked the emergency response to deadly Texas flooding back in July." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/trump-to-d...

Meanwhile: Hegseth & Trump are giving Zero factual justification for any of these killings -are operating outside their authority -are operating without any congressional oversight -& refuse to explain why they are building up for WAR with Venezuela to anyone. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Admiral Holsey expressed his concern for civilian casualties. In response to the admiral's stance, Hegseth threatened to strip Holsey of his command. The meeting became heated and quickly adjourned. Fifteen minutes later Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth received Admiral Alvin Holsey's resignation.

happening and did not counter those orders, they are in the courts martial loop as well. Hegseth (and any staff members) would be in troube in civil courts. I mean, when you've lost Judge Napolitano, while he is on Newsmax, you're standing knee deep in a pile of legal shit.

Trump and Hegseth did all of that for propaganda. #Murder #WarCrimes

dɯnɹʇ's an Epic, (twice in our country's history-level,) Fückup.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone except shithole presidents who call women 'pigs,' POC 'animals' and opponents 'retarded' then posts over 150 times in one hour on Truth Social last night to show us he is neither stable, nor a genius.

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders. What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

December... We live to fight another day.

Sen. Kelly: “This is about a president who doesn't want anybody to say anything that he does not like. I don't think he understands the Constitution. I think he is ignorant to the Constitution and the rule of law…This isn't about me. This is about what he will do next.”

These Karoline Leavitt "press conferences" are completely worthless propaganda full of shameless lies. They should be ignored by the media and all of us.

BREAKING: We won! 3rd Circuit affirms illegality of Habba appointment We @democracydefendersfund.org are honored to work on this case with the wonderful folks at Lowell & Associates, Gerald Krovatin & many others 👇

Sadly relevant today.

Reporter: You said that that second strike was in full accordance with the law of armed conflict but the Navy's own manual of law of war says that specifically firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime that's forbidden under U.S. Law and the law of armed conflict…

Sen. Kelly: “[Trump] is ignorant to the Constitution and has no regard for the rule of law…I will not be intimidated by this president. I am not going to be silenced by this president or the people around him because I've given too much in service to this country to back down to this guy.”
