"When senior leaders disparage legal oversight, sideline JAG officers, impede the ability of the press to report, or treat accountability as the enemy, they do more than risk unlawful action. They weaken the moral foundation that makes our military credible in the eyes of the American people...
@markhertling.bsky.social warns the gravest threat to the U.S. military is the erosion of the values that keep our forces lawful and legitimate. He implores Congress to investigate whether unlawful orders were issued in the Caribbean, and hold every official to account.

Two major causes: 1. the Reagan's "tax reform" in the 80's leveled the income tax code, so the wealthy paid very little more than the lowest, causing states' colleges to institute/increase tuitions. 2. The minimum wage hasn't kept pace with inflation, not even close. Both are fixable.

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime.
If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes.
This is how things work.
Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.

"Kill them all." Pete Hegseth.
Illegal. Murder.
Two surviving men after their boat was bombed, Hegseth had them shot in the chest to make sure their bodies would sink.
The order should have been rejected.

I often wonder if lying day in and day out and protecting the worst of the worst predators and policies takes a toll on Karoline Leavitt.
She seems to do it effortlessly, but I refuse to believe she can’t see the murderous, treasonous, misogynistic admin for who and what they are.
