The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Did someone* try to assassinate Zelensky with drones targeting his flight to Dublin? Because flying four large drones into the expected flight path (the plane was early) looks like an assassination attempt. *Yes, obviously Russia is the likely suspect, but not literally the only possibility.

TLDR: Texas is empowering Any Random Motherfucker to sue abortion pill providers—from Big Pharma to a physician to Susan who happened to have an extra dose of mife in her van—and to win a 10K bounty for their troubles. And if the plaintiff is related to the fetus, 100K. Great day for abusers.

When this mess is over every last reminder of this era must be removed like the enormous shitstain on our nation’s history that it is. East Wing and Rose Garden restoration must occur. If a ballroom is not completely destroyed it needs to be reinvented as a memorial for the sacrifices of immigrants.

It's wild but not surprising that last week the White House was leaning into "these seditious Democrats dared suggest that troops were receiving illegal orders!!!" and this week they are scrambling to figure out who to blame for issuing illegal orders.

Trump's Cueller pardon is an reaffirmation of his support for all corruption, and especially foreign bribery. This is great news for alleged foreign influence agents Robert Menendez (Egypt, Qatar), Pras Michel (Malaysia, China), and maybe Miles Guo (China?).

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Like the Special Counsel’s case, this case was dismissed because Trump is the President, not the facts of the case. Accountability shouldn’t depend on politics or timing. Americans deserve a justice system that does not bend to a President who tried to overturn a free and fair election.
