The FBI’s core values, including integrity, compassion, fairness, and allegiance to the Constitution - and oh, yeah, diversity, are being painted over at the FBI Academy. Source: NYT.
Is not the Trump administration engaging in a giant ongoing hate crime?
If a State were doing this, wouldn't the FBI be investigating and DOJ prosecuting?!

It's good—very good, and very important—that district courts keep issuing these 100-page rulings upholding the law. It must be incredibly dispiriting to see them overturned in a two-page, lawless, unsigned order, but please, keep them coming. They expose SCOTUS' corruption like nothing else.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Don't know the final results here but looking like maybe a 15 pt swing toward the Dems from 2024. You absolutely can't extrapolate a special election to a midterm. But that kind of flip in a special is a Defcon 1, we're all going to die type warning for the House GOP.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

There’s a reason Caesar was forbidden to cross the Rubicon and return to Rome with his army. It’s what separates a relatively free society from a fascist one.

2016 happened. Russia did support Trump’s campaign. Good reporters were on it at the time. I wrote it up within the larger context of global oligarchy and neo-fascism in "Road to Unfreedom."
9 years ago,House Speaker Paul Ryan, and Speaker to be Kevin McCarthy had a recorded conversation in which McCarthy says, "There are two people that I think Putin pays, (Representative Dana) Rohrbacher and Trump. Swear to God."
