A note of caution about the new GOP vow of oversight on the murder of the two men clinging to the boat. It's good to see, but it could become a backdoor way for Rs to defuse pressure for broader scrutiny. The entire operation is illegal. It all needs oversight. 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2037...

Admiral Holsey chose integrity. We need more leaders like him. 🫡

The DOJ launched new lawsuits against 6 more Demc-led states today — escalating an effort to seize unredacted information from millions of voters. 8 earlier lawsuits remain stalled. None resulted in court-ordered disclosure. Courts have little ability to examine the DOJ’s motives or scope.

Is accountability finally possible? open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

credit to NYT for not sanewashing the appalling bigotry we saw today in the WH "Even for Mr. Trump — who has a long history of insulting Black people, particularly those from African countries — his outburst was shocking in its unapologetic bigotry."

I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.

The White House throwing Admiral Frank Bradley under the bus to try to save Pete Hegseth isn’t going to work out well for them. #venezuela #caribbean #hegseth

😱😫 Uuuggghhh.

The arrogance/incoherence of freeing one narco-trafficking former head of a "narco-state" while threatening to turn the wrath of the US military on another (and killing off alleged footsoldiers without due process along the way) is breathtaking. Trump loves criminals...if they bend the knee to him.

This, from @edwardluce.bsky.social, is exactly right. The campaign against Venezuela has everything--lunacy, arrogance, disregard for US interests, disregard for the law, murder, hypocrisy, contempt for the military, contempt for our allies, values and international agreements. 100% pure Trump.

I wonder if knowledge of the double tap prompted the six members of congress to make that ad, and that's what made Trump and Hegseth so angry about it.

@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.”

A 19-year-old college student was about to board a flight to surprise her family for Thanksgiving when she was detained at Boston Logan International Airport and deported to Honduras two days later, her father and lawyer said on Sunday.

Keep in mind: Trump put tariffs on Ukraine and exempted Russia

Shocker😠🙄

Yes! Rothkopf gives us a great list of what we can do NOW to stop this authoritarian takeover. If we don't act NOW, it could be too late. "Resistance is not something you feel. It's something you do. This battle will be won at the community level. Choose new leaders. Be a witness. Don't compromise."

My money is on the military in this shoot out.

For the law geeks, there are a couple of very interesting 4th Amendment search and seizure violations up for argument this week in Luigi Mangione’s ongoing prosecution this week. AND they questioned him without reading him his rights. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Mark Kelly: “Pete Hegseth is not a serious person. He’s unqualified for this job. I think he is the least qualified Secretary of Defense in the history of our country by far. & this President thinks he can bully & intimidate people? He’s not gonna stop me from speaking out & holding him accountable”

⚡️ Ukraine's ex-ambassador to US named Zelensky's advisor on reconstruction. Markarova's role will focus on the "business climate, enhancing our state's financial resilience, attracting investment, and planning reconstruction together with our strategic partners," Zelensky said.

So glad to see we’re back in the we get to choose foreign heads of state business. It has always worked out so well for us in the past.

If we killed a boat full of people who posed no threat to us, without due process, with whom we were not in any way at war, it was already a crime.

The past decade has seen grave threats and unmistakable decline. But the past few days and weeks reveal that we have entered in a new and more perilous chapter here in the U.S. It must be a call to a new kind of action. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

BRAVO!! 👏👏

This is yet another series of impeachable offenses.

Insane.

Exactly right.

Well, this certainly points to trump's BS war excuse as well.... BS and it's merely an "excuse".

This.

It isn't a plan to end the war. It's a plan to let us regroup so we can invade again.

We had @general-ben.bsky.social down to the bunker to discuss the "peace plan", Pokrovsk & whether Russia is winning... Like & subscribe youtu.be/d6FHGYyKyhk

Andriy Yermark resigning would be a disaster. Russians might get idea that corrupt, incompetent officials will have to leave once their shady deals are exposed.

Trump continues to get manipulated and played by Putin.

This peace deal only has 3 steps. 1. Russia gets the land 2. Trump gets a bribe 3. Ukraine gets an empty promise
