Tom Cotton isn't stupid. He know he's lying to defend cold-blooded murder. That's the kind of person he is.
WELKER: The US doesn't shoot people at the border who are bringing drugs in. Why should it be different at sea? Are you saying we should start shooting people at the border?

COTTON: No I'm not, Kristen

This article opens with a 3-year-old forced to represent herself in court. We live in a fundamentally sick country.
There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”

The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.

It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

I just heard a PSA for Union Mission Ministries.

The voiceover performer said "good Samarih-un," skipping the T.

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social does this in reading her own audiobook, and I guess it's authentic? #Midwest

But presumably this PSA was performed by a professional voice actor?

I'm a Radio Scotland listener, and I live in Illinois.

That's how far I have to go to find this kind of radio programming.

After World War II, 3 German U-boat crewmen were sentenced to death for machine-gunning Allied sailors who were clinging to life rafts after their boat was sunk.
It's long been known in the military that this is a war crime. Pete Hegseth must be fired and prosecuted.

This is totally my personal opinion, but I suspect that this has something to do with the Trump Regime’s stance on Afghani nationals who served with Americans during the war. Trump wants to send these people back to Afghanistan where they face the most horrific sort of death from the Taliban.

Garry Kasparov at Halifax Security Forum:

"For 4 years, Ukraine has been fighting for the whole of Europe. NATO was created to fight one war — not to go to Afghanistan, not to go to Syria — one war: to save free Europe from Russian aggression.

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis just handed down the written opinion version of her preliminary injunction order, regarding use of force by federal agents in Chicago.

It's the one already put on hold by the 7th Circuit.

It's 233 pages.

All my #Sengled smart bulbs became stupid today.

I asked #AmazonAlexa
if my Sengled Bluetooth lightbulbs would ever work again.

She didn't say Sengled needs to pony up some money, but I'll bet that's what happened.

Trump spent hours and hours alone with a female child inside a sex trafficker's home who trafficked little girls for sex. Let it bake in your mind. It's a fact that was emailed by the sex trafficker "Epstein" 5 years before Trump became President the first time. 5 years, so this isn't politics folks

A Russian blogger shared that many Russians do not realize how many Russian soldiers are dying in the war against Ukraine.

"For these two small cities [Pokrovsk and Bakhmut], Russia has already killed 80-100 thousand of its own soldiers. It wasn't Ukraine that killed them, it was Russia," he says.
