Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

It's such a meme how Mike Johnson never knows anything about anything anyone asks him about ever.
RAJU: If defenseless survivors were killed, would that constitute a violation of the laws of war?

MIKE JOHNSON: I'm not going to prejudge any of that. I was pretty busy yesterday. I didn't follow a lot of the news.

"CT officials seek ways to manage growing bear, human interactions. First they’re asking the people."

Gee, it’s almost as if the Secretary of Defense ordered his subordinates to carry out an order his department’s own Law of War manual explicitly states is illegal.
"The requirement to refuse to comply with orders to commit law of war violations applies to orders to perform conduct that is clearly illegal or orders that the subordinate knows...are illegal. For example, 𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩𝐰𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐥."

The charges here mattered, because the arresting officers admitted that she was arrested for violating the segregation ordinance and not for some ostensibly race-neutral charge like "disturbing the peace"
70 years ago today, Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama.

Per a new report, Kash Patel refused to exit his plane without an FBI jacket, but the only one that would fit him was a woman’s jacket. Then he demanded SWAT patches for it. www.scribd.com/document/958...

Fentanyl. Drug Overdoses, including Fentanyl, are not even in the top 20 causes of death in the USA. Cancer, Diabetes, Covid, Heart Disease all in the top 10, and all have had their research funding cut. They aren't murdering just Venezuelans. However they are killing us much slower.

Exhibit 926 in criminal contempt proceedings. Noem’s declaration is due Friday to Judge Boasberg.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?

KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?"

Mark Kelly: "It seems to."

Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?"

Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."

Donald Trump, the same person who is telling us he would never use the US military to do anything illegal, is on the verge of using the US military to steal another sovereign nation's oil. Just 'cause he wants it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Everything Trumpiggy does starts from the premise: how do we avoid the law/rule. He should be rotting in a cell for all the crimes he has committed and the criminal behavior he has fostered.
