"This was an extrajudicial killing amounting to murder or a war crime. One thing is clear: Pete Hegseth is unfit to serve," Sen. Chris Van Hollen said of Trump's defense secretary.

Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War Crimes.

Pete Hegseth needs to resign or be fired. Now. He’s a walking, talking national security embarrassment. The disastrous and illegal Venezuela strikes - and his refusal to accept responsibility - should be the last straw.

the U.S. government illegally killed him. His relatives say Alejandro Carranza was on a routine fishing trip, and his wife told reporters he left home to fish and had no ties to drug trafficking.

Dempsey unpacks why the rules of war must stand, why leadership is more than just rhetoric, and how America can maintain its ethical compass.

His career spans deployments in Afghanistan, work inside the White House, and powerful advocacy and research on the state of America’s military. We dive into the headlines around the boat strikes, controversial military decisions, Hegseth, and the dangerous rise of performative “tough guy” politics.

He’s Trumpshit insane. Thank you for your attention to this matter..

Trump is summarily executing people suspected of being drug dealers, without providing any proof. How close are we to Trump ordering the execution of Americans he considers opponents? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-illegal-executions

Private prison company GEO Group allegedly made immigration detainees work for no pay. Now it's at the Supreme Court trying to prevent the detainees from suing. bit.ly/4pfafj2

George Will: "Pete Hegseth seems to be a war criminal. Without a war. An interesting achievement. ... The killing of the survivors by this moral slum of an administration should nauseate Americans. A nation incapable of shame is dangerous, not least to itself" www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

A Washington Post analysis of multiple video feeds of the meeting Tuesday showed that during nine separate instances, Trump’s eyes were closed for extended periods or he appeared to struggle to keep them open, amounting cumulatively to nearly six minutes.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

You hate to see it.

Racism‼️ Pure and simple racism‼️

Republicans should increase the pressure on Donald Trump "to fire the most unqualified secretary of defense in U.S. history," @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

In attempting to call off his corruption trial, Benjamin Netanyahu didn’t incriminate himself, but he did something just as damning, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues:

Putin fears Ukrainian democracy because it shows a different future is possible for the Russian people, too. A free, democratic Ukraine exposes the lie at the heart of his worldview

UPDATE: DC filed its opposition to the Trump admin's stay request, noting the deployment "exposes both the public and Guard members to substantial public safety risks ... as the horrific attack on two National Guard members last week tragically underscored." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: Republican-led states, in a new filing at the D.C. Circuit, say D.C. residents are irrelevant, D.C. belongs to everyone else. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... The filing is led by the South Carolina and West Virginia attorneys general. Both states sent troops to DC.

We won a court order stopping the federal government from playing politics with our health care system and defunding Planned Parenthood. We'll continue our lawsuit to defend New Yorkers' health care and reproductive freedom from unconstitutional attacks.

As the Trump Administration and GOP are trying to dismantle the Department of Education—we stand with our schools, our students, and our teachers! Department of Ed was born out of the Civil Rights Movement and is as important as ever. We stand with every public school and kid across America! ✊

President Zelenskyy states some obvious, but very important things. One of them is Ukraine needing clear security guarantees to ensure it is protected from renewed aggression. 👇

Lots of media are reporting Pu’s bravado today, so let’s get this straight: Ru tried but failed to conquer Ukraine, Ru tried but failed to conquer Donbas, Ru tried but failed to cut off Ukr from the Black Sea; all these failures despite Ukr fighting alone and Ru getting NKorean help.
