Himes: They posed zero threat to anyone in the region, and we killed them.
Himes: It was exceedingly hard to watch. Even if you stipulate that it is a war, there is a very specific prohibition against killing individuals who have been removed from the fight. And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.

I've got new details coming soon on what lawmakers saw on the video of the second strike and what they heard in the classified briefing today. It's deeply unnerving stuff. Stay tuned.

A corrupt president pardons a corrupt member of Congress for corrupt reasons. With multiple guilty pleas establishing a bribery-laundering scheme, Hakeem Jeffries still called the case “thin” and sought cover in a bribery-plagued Supreme Court.

A lesson in squandering potential inroads with voters.

Red Herring Alert! Trump's DOJ is re-asking the court to release Epstein grand jury materials. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/is-pam-bon...
Is Pam Bondi Trying to Use the Courts to Justify Withholding Epstein Files?
Trump's Justice Department is re-asking the courts to release Epstein and Maxwell grand jury testimony pursuant to the new Transparency Act, but is it smoke and mirrors? Yes. The answer is yes.

It’s far from an “exoneration.”

Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.

The Supreme Court: It ruled in 1967 that the government can’t strip U.S. citizenship unless a person voluntarily relinquishes it.
