The standard you walk past is the standard you accept
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

I wonder if the corpsman did an assessment or not. CPR seems appropriate for inadequate respiratory rate regardless of pulse.

When Marine Sgt. Gordon Reed collapsed during a fitness test in Florida, a string of decisions by fellow Marines delayed his medical care.

We flushed the hot water heater for the first time and it had small rocks and sand in it, not the normal calcium silt looking material. (The people we bought the house from replaced it shortly before listing the house a little over 2 years ago.) What's in the water here?

Anthony Boyd has been executed.
A few things to consider, Mr. Boyd's court appointed attorney told the judge he didn't feel he had adequate time to prepare for the trial and didn't present alibi evidence in favor of his client. The jury was NOT unanimous, voting 10-2 for guilt and the death penalty.
Alabama is scheduled to kill Anthony Boyd by way of nitrogen suffocation today. Boyd has a longshot request for a stay of execution pending at the Supreme Court. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...
If the execution proceeds, it will be Alabama's 5th this year and the 40th in the U.S. in 2025.

I'm a decades long vegetarian so there isn't a lot about the beef industry that makes sense to me but why wouldn't we prioritize and support US beef over any other beef, especially during a recession?

This admin is a pit of doom.
Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.
It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.
