One of the reasons I think it’s also essential to not call the boat strikes “war crimes” but “crimes against humanity,” is that it emphasizes that Trump and Hegseth are acting extra-constitutionally and are not entitled to any shield from the courts. This systematic murder of civilians is illegal.

Spot on. If you are under 35, your real world experience of Israel is totally different from the plucky democracy beset from all sides those of us older folks grew up with. And many of us don't see Israel that way anymore. Assassinating Rabin was my tipping point.

1. Jared Kushner's trip to Moscow yesterday was not just unethical; it was illegal. You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government. It says it right in the Constitution.

Kushner’s Moscow mission wasn’t just corrupt. It was unconstitutional.
Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, has been traveling the world to participate in high-stakes foreign policy negotiations on behalf of the president.

This is becoming far too common. Masked people stepping out of vans, racially profiling residents of our country, and in this case, calling a Tribal ID fake. It’s disturbing. It’s un-American.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

One of the reasons servicemembers, from admirals and generals to the greenest private, should know “don’t follow illegal orders” is that this administration is a goulash of dishonorable character flaws like cowardice and dishonesty. There is no bus under which these pissants will not throw you.

What utter bullshit. The Secretary of War is entirely responsible for what happens on his watch. The second tap is a war crime, but the first, and all subsequent, are still plain ol' murder.

The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false. Lots of people are going to die.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes. If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Insulting to have to point this out, but if you have spent even 30 minutes reading US history, you realize that every decade has been dominated by racist hysteria that the "new" people won't ever fit in. This exact prejudice would have been applied to Miller's forebears, when they fled pogroms.
