Hey, all! I will be taking a short vacation from social media to rest this weekend. I hope everyone behaves themselves while I'm gone. 😏
Please consider taking a social media break yourself. You deserve the rest! And don't worry: things will still be on fire when you return. (As is tradition.) 🔥

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

All current employees were put on indefinite leave, and now I've learned one has been fired in violation of federal protections:
