On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned: newrepublic.com/article/2032...

Mark Kelly says Pete Hegseth's reported double tap strike on a boat "seems to" be a war crime, and adds, "if what has been reported is accurate, I've got serious concerns about anybody in that chain of command stepping over a line that they should never step over. We are not Russia. We are not Iraq"

Lucy White's overt racism - she wants Nus Ghsni banned from the Commons (birthplace), and Rishi Sunak, Priti Patel & Shabana Mahmood banned from office - may have finally gone too far for TalkTV. The GB News response is disingenuous. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

I wish all figures of authority cared about moms and babies. But some don’t. Some even want you to hurt. And those are the people who cast doubt on the vaccination miracle that has allowed so many of us to live longer and better. kentuckylantern.com/2025/11/25/t...

One by one, each of the nine prisoners appeared virtually before a special panel of the Louisiana parole board. “Today you’ve been paroled,” the chair said at the end of every hearing, “to go straight into an ICE facility for deportation.” With @veritenews.org

Epstein and the economy—these are the twin albatrosses around Trump’s neck. trib.al/Nu1dxra The question, however, is whether Democrats will have the stomach and the sense to exploit both avenues to Trump’s ruin.

President Hernandez was responsible for smuggling 500 TONS of cocaine into the United States! He was the top dog; the Pablo Escobar figure! He wasn’t just “selling drugs in that country.”

The increasingly ludicrous Ben Habib Is arguing that Lucy White's attack on Nus Ghani being an MP is not racist Ben Habib is now ludicrously supporting a call to ban Ben Habib from parliament!

A lawsuit previously alleged that David Gentile—just pardoned by Trump— was an associate of Russian organized crime figure and oligarch Michael Cherney. A business news outlet found that Cherney’s daughters benefited from some of Gentile’s earliest dealings.

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

Walz on calling for Trump to release MRI results: "Here we got a guy on Thanksgiving where we spent time with our families, ate, played Yahtzee. This guy is apparently in a room ranting. It's not normal behavior. It's not healthy. Has anyone in history ever had an MRI & had no idea what it was for?"

Pope Leo XIV doubled down on the Holy See’s insistence on a two-state solution to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, saying in his first airborne news conference that it was the “only solution” that could guarantee justice for both sides.

He clearly doesn’t understand basic constitutional terms. FACT: Westminster and Holyrood are parliaments and the governments in each are the current administrations. FACT: Holyrood is a recognised parliament, just like Westminster, with its own recognised government acting as its administration.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running. This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.

What were the CIA-backed "Zero Units" in Afghanistan? For a deep dive, read reporter Lynzy Billing's award-winning piece from 2022:

“To believe anything about Epstein coming from Trump and his cronies requires a complete suspension of common sense, which is why it’s good to remember that the simplest explanation is often the correct one: they’re lying.” — @justinglawe.bsky.social

He only looks smart because his lies have overwhelmed a political culture that didn’t know how to respond to them. If I were a Trump fan, I’d start worrying about what happens when that stops. trib.al/A5Fl9FU

Trump's criminal cult is fascist to the core.

We’ve all heard the F word quite a bit these days. I’m talking, of course, about fascism. But what is its exact definition? What forms has it taken in the past? And is it happening here? https://youtu.be/jWYqrVsBvwI

Has fascism arrived already in the USA under Trump? This is very good from Robert Reich. A bit long, but a recommended watch. youtu.be/jWYqrVsBvwI?...

"We believe recent events underscore the urgency of this issue."

WHOA. Trump says he will pardon Juan Orlando Hernandez, who once said that he wanted to “shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringos.” He had people killed as part of his narco-trafficking ring, which he at times operated directly out of his presidential office.

So the same MAGA propagandists who cheer Trump's summary execution of people on small boats in the Caribbean, on grounds that this supposedly prevents drugs from entering the homeland, will also cheer this pardon because ... ???

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border. New data suggests separations now happen all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

Six thousand military lorries have been removed from service over safety issues with the bolts holding them together, leaving the British Army unable to resupply its troops with fuel and food.

A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

If this is true, the next administration should prosecute Hegseth for murder. If Dems retake Congress they should impeach and remove him. The mission commander should be prosecuted for murder, too. Zero ambiguity about intentionally killing survivors clinging to a burning boat.
