Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”
They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

It’s useful to think about things like this in numbers of tenure track professors.
$33M is 358 assistant professors. Or about fourteen percent of the total number of full-time faculty at Michigan State.

He went 9-15 in two seasons, including 1-8 in the Big Ten this year. (ESPN first reported).
MSU players meeting called for 2:45. Smith has a $33 million buyout (with offset).

Here in Minnesota, we caught people doing fraud and clawed back money. Trump pardons them.
Over the last five years, law enforcement officials say, fraud took root in pockets of Minnesota’s Somali diaspora. Outrage has swelled among Minnesotans, and fraud has turned into a potent political issue in a competitive campaign season.
How Fraud Swamped Minnesota’s Social Services System on Tim Walz’s Watch
Prosecutors say members of the Somali diaspora, a group with growing political power, were largely responsible. President Trump has drawn national attention to the scandal amid his crackdown on immigration.

Public universities should be banned from paying these insane buyouts for college coaches.
No pro sports teams are paying $33 million to fire their incompetent coach, so why are colleges paying this kind of money?!?

I’m not an expert in the law of war, but an order to kill injured people who were not posing a single threat to anyone would seem to me to be a possible war crime.

National Guard troops don't sign up to be used as political pawns. They sign up to serve their country, not needlessly deploy to American cities to pick up garbage. These two soldiers should be alive right now and at home with their families for Thanksgiving. I'm furious.

In “every Trump accusation is a confession,” it says a lot about the current Pentagon that simply starting the longstanding, unambiguous, and nonpartisan rule “don’t obey illegal orders” sets Hegseth off on a spiral of “hey, don’t talk about our illegal orders!”
Mark Kelly: "I said something that was pretty simple and non-controversial, and that was that members of the military should follow the law. In response to that, Trump said I should be executed, I should be hanged ... it says a lot more about him than it says about me. I'm not going to be silenced."
