The Trump administration's updated National Security Strategy is a really striking document that offers the clearest expression yet of what it is trying to do in Europe: "Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations" 👀

Uh…oh Danny B…do you realize what you’re saying?

That boat was afloat because of... cocaine? That's a determination they made that they expect us to take seriously??

I mean, the fact that Admiral Bradley’s career and possible imprisonment is depending on such a thin reed of “it was justified” is just sad. All he had to do was say no. But he rolled the dice and now he’s screwed. No way was this ever going to go away. Pathetic.

I mean, this is an execution

Concede nothing. Let’s register and work with every eligible voter we can find so that we compete in and win these new districts and pick up seats currently held by Republicans too.

Why are the richest people the biggest heartless dicks to the people in desperate circumstances? You will have to face your creator someday who clearly said “what you do to the least of these you do to me” I used to like Phil. Saudi sellout

Koh: This is not about justice. This is about power. This is about a Secretary of Defense so drunk off alpha male bullshit that he's willing to take lives to get off on that power.

SPLIT IN HALF? The boat was capsized and SPLIT IN HALF? I got nothing folks. Trials. Prison. Everyone. If you told me this was a psy-op to make me rethink my moral opposition to the death penalty, I would at least have to think hard about you being right.

They're not even trying to appear nonpartisan anymore.

The Roberts court is a handmaid to authoritarianism. Democracy dies if justices enable minority rule.

it seems like the new line is that the only way to practice ethical medicine is to be at least anti-vax curious if not full on anti-vax

Pastor David Black was brutally shot by ICE w/pepper balls hitting him in the head & body. But he still returns w/other faith leaders to protest & to even pray for federal agents. He talks about witnessing a “revival of faith” & how “democracy is not a spectator sport.” youtu.be/AIv35rWP_RA?...

And the video now is shaping up to be a Rorschach test between parties. Dem chair of House Intel committee says one of the worst things he's ever seen; 2 R's say lawful and legit. Amazing. and keep in mind that Hegseth said he didn't even see 2nd strike b/c of "fog of war." 3 totally diff accounts.

Some voters may punish congressional Republicans in next year’s midterm elections if expanded Affordable Care Act insurance subsidies are allowed to expire at the end of this month, a new poll suggests.

Nazis said the same thing at Nuremberg.

Good. The last thing the country needs is more people who insist on being accurate and non-abusive. bsky.app/profile/klon...

This is spot on 👇

This man ripped off teachers, nurses, small business owners - people from all walks of life and professions. Some lost their life savings. Not only did Trump let him out of prison, he also doesn’t have to pay back the victims.

“The decision was made to exclude me from the filmed production of Swan Lake because I was told my brown skin would disrupt the aesthetic.” ~ Misty Copeland When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs on day one—and as we can see, that was a lie. Prices shot up, and health care will spike again because they refuse to extend the ACA credits. Now they claim “affordability” is a con job. Since when is feeding your family or seeing a doctor a scam?

Brett Kavanagh, his friends, and his family will be living with these images until their dying days. Unimaginable betrayal of the American creed.

Why are Republicans afraid to let Jack Smith testify in public?

Judge Anthony Napolitano on Newsmax: "It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime... There’s absolutely no legal basis for it.”

1/2 This has got to be one of most painful responses to watch. The White House simply does not deny the follow up strike was to allow no survivors. And the 'law' Leavitt cites is utterly irrelevant (self-defense is a non-sequitur, it's not armed conflict, and 'no survivors' is a crime).

Admiral Holsey is to this serial murder in the Caribbean as Hugh Thompson was to the butchery at My Lai -- that is to say a great American and a lone, solitary credit to its armed forces in a moment when a great and unremovable stain was put upon the honor of the entire American military.

Please focus these posts on winning back Congress and not some abstract tribunal. Congress is the only place these folks will face questions - not in Hegseth’s DoD or Bondi’s DoJ, or the Hauge (we aren’t subject to the ICC). And not in the next administration because Trump will pardon all of them.

The White House's lies about the illegal Caribbean boat strikes are so obvious and about such serious matters that they're floundering. As @gregsargent.bsky.social and @jenrubin.bsky.social explain, specific strikes are criminal, but even more so, the entire campaign is blatantly illegal and wrong.

NYT: Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago): “This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,” and “It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

TODAY IS THE DAY! GET OUT AND VOTE. Polls are open 7 AM - 7 PM WE GOT THIS!!!!!!

I’m pretty sure that Indian and Pakistan would disagree with this assessment

According to the US Coast Guard, the year prior to Trump changing our policy to summary execution, only 21% of the vessels interdicted by them off the coast of Venezuela suspected of trafficking drugs had drugs on board. The other 79% had nothing. But now we just kill them all.

"Exit take: This is what you get when you have a war crimes enthusiast like Donald Trump choosing a dipsomaniacal chode like Hegseth to run the military. God help us all." open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

In the next few weeks Democrats need to further weaken the legitimacy of the Trump regime by making the crimes, corruption, betrayal, and malevolence of Trump’s top advisors - Hegseth, Noem, Witkoff, Bondi, Kennedy, Vought, Sacks - a major topic in our discourse.
