“A Congress even modestly attentive to the rule of law would surely want to know the circumstances surrounding these and other grants of clemency as well as their aftermath.” But thanks to SCOTUS’s Trump v. U.S., all this will remain a mystery. Jeff Toobin explains:

All this consultant nay-saying about Crockett is EXACTLY the opposite of what voters want, even in Texas.
Crockett is weighing a run for Senate and asked Colin Allred to drop out and run for governor instead as part of a slate that would also have Joaquin Castro run for attorney general. But Democrats fear she might blow their first chance in years to win in Texas. #TXSen

From the NBC article: "Unlike a “no quarter order,” an order to kill everyone on a target list is not forbidden under U.S. and international law."
This is propaganda, rather than an accurate statement of law.

Once the debate centers on whether the 2nd strike was legal, the first 21 strikes have been accepted as baseline. But the murder of the two survivors doesn’t make the other 21 any more legal. Selective outrage, not silence, is how authoritarianism becomes normalized @tadstoermer.bsky.social

Judge Ellis says all these errors, no matter how minor, add up. "[A]t some point, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, to believe almost anything that [DHS] represent[s]."
E.g., a top officer testified protestors had shields with nails in them; there were no nails and mostly it was carboard.

I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR MONTHS. AI APPLICATIONS ARE RIDDLED WITH PSYOPS
Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...
