1) If Hegseth ordered troops to "kill everybody" in that barbaric second strike, he should be arrested.

2) If Admiral Bradley followed what he damn well knew was an illegal order from Hegseth, he should be removed from duty, and court-martialed.

3) If Trump does nothing, he is a war criminal.

Frances Perkins (April 10, 1880 – May 14, 1965) watched 146 women burn to death because factory owners locked the exits. Twelve years later, she became the most powerful woman in America. And the first woman in a presidential Cabinet. Born in Boston, she studied, she studied physics at Mount Holyoke College. Her professor took students to tour factories along the Connecticut River. Frances saw exhausted girls younger than herself in abysmal conditions, inspiring her to earn a master's degree at Columbia University in economics and sociology, writing her thesis on malnutrition in Hell's Kitchen. By 1910, she was Executive Secretary of the New York Consumers League, investigating factories, documenting violations, pushing for reform: clean bakeries; safe exits; maximum working hours. She testified before legislative committees, telling powerful men their factories were killing people. Then came the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory tragedy on March 25, 1911. She watched young women jump from 9-floor windows because the factory owners had locked the doors to prevent "theft" and "unauthorized breaks." Most of the 146 workers who died were immigrant women and girls, as young as 14. Within weeks, Frances was appointed to the committee investigating the fire. She didn't just write a report. She rewrote New York's labor laws from the ground up: Fire exits—unlocked, accessible, clearly marked; Maximum occupancy limits; Sprinkler systems; Regular safety inspections; 54-hour maximum workweek; One day off per week. New York passed the laws. Within a decade, American workplaces had been transformed. In 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Frances to join his Cabinet as Secretary of Labor. She was 53 years old. Frances agreed, but only on her terms: A 40-hour workweek; A minimum wage; Abolition of child labor; Unemployment insurance; Old-age pensions. Roosevelt said they were impossible demands. But for twelve years—longer than any other Labor Secretary in history—Frances Perkins f…

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.

But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

“I don’t think that the European Union gets to determine what international law is” – Marco Rubio doesn’t even know and/or care about the most basic principle of international law: don’t use force unless you’re under attack. The US isn’t. Not by Venezuela, not by “narcoterrorists”. All this is BS.
