Drone attacks on boats in international waters are NOT HOSTILE??????
according to a senior administration official…
In essence, the official said, “the kinetic operations underway do not rise to the level of ‘hostilities.’”

Anyway, yet another reminder that "debate me bros" were always full of shit, and anyone who claims that they were actually about free speech or real discussion over ideas is lying or gullible.

I can’t even come ip with words for all of this. They think they’re going to be safe from the chaos they’re creating
When you call yourself the leaders of a democratic country, but have to hide on a military base from the people that you rule.
"Stephen Miller soon joined a growing list of senior Trump-administration political appointees—at least six by our count—living in Washington-area military housing, where they are shielded not just from potential violence but also from protest." Others include Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth.

Illegal. Just like he is.
If Trump actually cared about fighting cartels, his budget wouldn't cut funds from DEA and other domestic, LEGAL efforts to fight drug trafficking.
These extrajudicial killings are illegal, not authorized by Congress, and must end.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.
Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.
12 days of work in over 3 months.
With full pay and benefits.
The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.
It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Okay, so what this article does is confirm that taking funds away from food, healthcare, etc., has ~ZERO~ to do with their "We can't afford it" refrain.
They lack the will.
