By the way, the real drug traffickers aren’t on the boats. Those are just mules getting paid a few bucks. Trump doesn’t go after the real kingpins, he either leaves them alone or pardons them.

The Trump Administration's latest rationale for killing striken seamen was that they knew that two men had survived the initial strike but that they "needed to sink the vessel" so they fired again.
That is the EXACT same defense Heinz-Wilhelm Eck used after WWII. He was found guilty and executed.

Pentagon knew boat attack left survivors but still launched a follow-on strike, AP sources say
The Pentagon knew there were survivors after a September attack on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea and the U.S. military still carried out a follow-up strike.

Jacob Frey: "If we are now at the point where the federal govt is deploying agents on legal American citizens with a goal of uprooting people who have formed lives here, have families here, started businesses here, definitively made Minneapolis a better place, everybody should be speaking out."

Gavin Newsom lit into an audience full of financial power brokers today, criticizing what he cast as their complicity with Trump’s agenda. He told attendees of the New York Times DealBook Summit that they should look into the kneepads he’s selling, in parody, to those “groveling to Trump’s needs.”

But aren’t they doing the same thing in Red States?
Per Democracy Docket:
A right wing group notorious for attacking voting rights filed a lawsuit against California’s Proposition 50, arguing it violates the Constitution. They seek to block the voter-approved congressional map, despite overwhelming support for the measure.

The Admiral was thrown under the bus in seconds. Rules of engagement are sacred, and everyone knows it, which is why the truth about what Pete did leaked. Pete and Trump are no leaders. And they are not judge, jury, or executioner. Those poor fishermen.

Hegseth: "Admiral Bradley made the correct decision to ultimately sink the boat and eliminate the threat."
Proposed follow up questions:
When you say "eliminated the threat," do you mean purposefully killed the shipwrecked people?
You think that decision was correct?
