Escobar: We knew this was part of his plan all along, and my fear…is that he will use the Insurrection Act during the midterm elections to suppress the vote.

A couple hundred people protesting ICE north of the Oregon Capitol. The turnout for this hastily pulled together protest is lower than we’ve seen at prior events in Salem.

This is so dangerous. Trump never believed in the Constitution, that was only an act while he was running for president.
If there isn’t an URGENT check on his powers, we are cooked. And every sitting representative and senator, or anyone running for office, needs to be prepared to take this on.

Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime
LEAVITT: I would reiterate that the strike was conducted in accordance with the law of armed conflict

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.
Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.
Pure, mindless, barbarism.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
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.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."
