How does Karoline Leavitt not burst into flames when she speaks?

God, this is horrible! Trump's corruption is monstous. Love to know the size of fRump's payment for this disgusting pardon. The crook he pardoned did to thousands of Americans the same thing Madoff did yet only served 12 days. Thanks for the info, Liz Oyer. bsky.app/profile/1-go...

"Trump has been functioning as a dictator...but it’s a vulnerable dictatorship. Virtually none of these abuses are popular with the American people...and it’s coming home to roost for Trump." On the pod, @davidrlurie.com is good on Trump as weak, failing autocrat: newrepublic.com/article/2037...

Steve Witkoff works for Russia. Jared Kushner works for Russia. Donald Trump works for Russia. We hold these truths to be self-evident. AF.

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."

Shame on the judge that overrode the other judge in trumps favor when the first judge said it was illegal to send them there. They would have been home for Thanksgiving, and she would still be alive. More blood on trumps hands.

💯. It's not these patriotic citizens' fault they're being used as performative props by a corrupt, mendacious, and deranged president. They deserve our kindness and respect, and now, devastatingly, our deepest concern and sympathy. 😢

“The only way to stop drug trafficking is blowing up boats and pardoning the drug dealers.” —Senile Satan

When he’s gone, I know there will be a lot to do, but can we make sure the living rose garden gets restored? Started. Going.

❗️This morning, 🇺🇦Ukrainian surface drones attacked the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) Marine Terminal in the 🇷🇺Novorossiysk area. As a result of the attack, one of the berthing structures sustained critical damage, making its further operation impossible.

It’s not often that the governors of California and Florida are on the same page, but this week they’re aligned in opposition to the White House’s latest plan to expand offshore oil drilling near both their shores.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."

I prosecuted international drug trafficking organizations for the Justice Department. In fact, for years one of my cases was listed as the #1 noted case on DOJ's Special Operations Division website. But killing people with no trial or due process is wrong. It is cruel and degrades America.

The media treated Biden's pardon of Hunter for trumped-up gun possession charges as more scandalous - far more scandalous - than Trump's pardon of war criminal serial killer Eddie Gallagher. And here we are:

This is why I won’t trust the military not to do terrible things to the American people.

Every word.

Army Spc. Sarah Beckstrom should be alive. Air Force Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe should not be in a hospital fighting for his life. There’s no fucking reason for National Guard troops to be in DC. There’s no fucking reason at all. There never has been. Damn Trump. Damn him.

Makes this 'drug boat' obsession seem even less on the level, if that's possible

Trump is pardoning former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez who is currently serving a 45-year sentence in a US prison on involvement in the drug trade.

It should go without saying, but the president has no authority to do this, and anyone reporting the story needs to say as such.

He’s going to fight drug trafficking by pardoning them? Trump announced “a Full and Complete Pardon” for former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was found guilty by an American jury last year of conspiring to import cocaine into the US.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:

JD Vance’s Ukraine Power Play Backfires (w/ Michael Weiss) | The Bulwark Podcast youtu.be/_WU0AJDCx5U?...

A dead pedophile, a Kremlin bagman, Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, and the future of NATO. @michaeldweiss.bsky.social joins @timmiller.bsky.social to discuss the chaotic “peace plan” for Ukraine and what it says about Trump’s collapsing grip on power.

New: @theins.press saw the Witkoff-Dmitriev plan six months ago in draft form—except it was all Dmitriev. Bloomberg reports now Dmitriev told Ushakov he’d pass along a Russian plan and the Americans “can present it as their own”: theins.press/en/politics/...

The Insider (Michael Weiss) and Der Spiegel are going to publish a story proving Dmitriev authored the “peace plan.” Axios reported the “plan” as originating from the American side. Weiss believes the plan is a Russian active measure. As do I.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

⚡️ Europe says pressure is the only language Moscow understands. EU chief Ursula von der Leyen told reporters that Europe will keep backing Ukraine in upcoming talks and push to use frozen Russian assets to fund Kyiv.
