🧵A legal scholar finds the killing by special forces of survivors in the Navy attack on an alleged drug boat to be a war crime and murder.
"the currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons “placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.” ...

"The order was to kill everybody"
Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The commander overseeing the attack ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's instructions to leave no survivors. The two men were blown apart in the water. https://wapo.st/49KbUJ1

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.

Very solid writing by Tom Nichols. We’re in an increasingly dangerous situation and our troops are being put under a lot of stress. It would be a great time for the GOP to come to their senses.
This is a new and dire development in the ongoing American constitutional crisis. The voters, Congress, and, yes, the U.S. military must all now be more vigilant than at any time in our modern history.

The only bit of hope i can really give you is that, historically, movements that are trying to forestall societal change usually end up accelerating it.

Raskin: "We hear even the Speaker of the House openly inviting the US Senate to start finger painting on this bill, which we have waited more than 5 months to bring to the floor. The Senate should pass the bill exactly as it's written ... the president could release the Epstein files right now!"

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here
