Mike Johnson, of course, misses the point. The President should notify Congress of military action. He's the head of Congress. Him NOT being notified about a "double tap", kill everyone military action on foreign territory is the problem. Trump is not a king. Hegseth is not the Secretary of War.

RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war? MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

Speaker Know Nothing did manage to hear that the plan is to blame the admiral and not the SecDef who gave the order. He listens well when convenient.

My undying admiration will go to any reporter who brings up all the evidence of former Honduras President Hernandez's crimes running drugs, and reminds that he was convicted by a jury, and ask Trump how he can claim to be tackling the drug problem while letting such a large trafficker go free.

Trump hit a new low: He just pardoned a man who killed thousands of Americans. Yes, that is 100% true. Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras was a key figure in flooding the US with cocaine. Nearly 30,000 Americans die from cocaine overdoses per year. Many from Hernandez's cocaine

Former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández—pardoned by Trump while the counting in Honduras’ current presidential election is still in progress—-was accused not only of drug trafficking, but also of election fraud during the 2013 and 2017 Honduran presidential elections. 1/

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

So, seems like we’re not all that serious about fighting the war on drugs after all. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/u...

@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.”

Call to Activism After being pressed about how two survivors clinging to a piece of wood in the ocean pose an immediate threat to the United States 1500 miles away, a nervous Karoline Leavitt directs questions to the “Dept. of War.” This is an impeachable offense - and they know it.

www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi... “With respect to the strikes in question on Sept. 2, Secretary Hegseth authorized Adm. Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement during Monday's briefing.

"But the cover-up was still alive and well back at the White House on Monday, where press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed that one of Hegseth’s subordinates was the one truly responsible for the second airstrike." Only a few things Trump doesn't want credit for. newrepublic.com/post/203811/...

The face of a man who realized Ukrainians are not going to sit by and watch as he sells them off to russia.

Breaking: Sen. Jacky Rosen of the Foreign Relations Cmte. says, if reports are true, "Hegseth likely committed a war crime when he gave an illegal order that led to the killing of incapacitated survivors of the U.S. strike in the Caribbean." Rosen adds: "He should resign immediately."

Reporter: The president said that if someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn't mean you arrest the president. How is that different than what the administration is accusing Maduro of doing? Leavitt: You're cherry picking the president's statement.

Kelly: “I was notified of a potential court-martial through a tweet by the Secretary of Defense…I think that says a lot about who Pete Hegseth is and what he cares about. He doesn't care about the law…He doesn't care about accountability. He cares about views on his Twitter account.”

WHO WAS PRESIDENT IN 2018? November 27, 2018 The Honduran president's brother, Juan Antonio Hernández, was arrested on Friday in Miami and charged with the smuggling of tons of cocaine www.npr.org/2018/11/27/6...

Set up? By this guy, the lead prosecutor? The guy Trump just made a judge?

Huh 🤔 isn’t the Trump regime setting up Maduro?

The Gallup poll is a disaster for Trump. Nixon is the only president with a worse net approval at this point in a second term than he has. No second-term presidency’s net approval has risen more than 5 points from this point through the midterms.

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”

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Good Morning Resistance

Who would have thought that electing a convicted felon president would mean that he would be a lawless president who issues unlawful orders? 🤔

He knows 2028 is not even an option. Look at the limp.

Today On Tap from me: Marco Rubio is selling a war of choice in Venezuela on falsehoods about narco-trafficking so he can get right-wing south Florida exiles who've been his political allies back into power. It's an incredibly parochial pretext for an imperial adventure. prospect.org/2025/12/01/m...

Sadly relevant today.

I wonder if he was smart enough to get Hegseth's order in writing or not

Sen. Mark Kelly: “President Trump is trying to silence me. Threatening to kill me for saying what is true. And he sent his Secretary of Defense after me. And it's not going to work.”

Fight like hell.

"Huh, I wonder who put this loaded gun in my desk drawer?" — Adm Bradley

Many posts are suggesting that the WH has thrown Admiral Bradley under the bus to protect Hegseth. I have a different take. I think they chose Admiral Bradley because they knew he'd crawl under the bus for them, for whatever he was promised. And Hegseth remains unprotected here, either way.

After days of denying the story as “fake news,” now Karoline Leavitt says OF COURSE they ordered a second strike, and it was very legal and very cool, and they found an Admiral to take the fall to protect Trump and Hegseth. I hope Admiral Bradley is lawyering up.

Reposting this everyday until Pete Hagueseth faces justice for his crimes against humanity.

Goodnight you beautiful beings 😁

it is impossible to imagine any Pentagon lawyer blessing this action. The concept of hors de combat—literally, out of combat—is a fundamental aspect of the law of war that prevents harming those disabled from combat. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Weaponization of the justice department continues, but now, Republicans are speaking up.👇

There is absolutely no bottom. They will kill and murder and steal and break the law and laugh at every rule and institution until they are stopped. They think they are all-powerful and all conventional rules of morality and legality do not apply to them.
