UPDATE: On this morning's Up first, @npr.org says that they have confirmed that "Hegseth ordered both strikes." (Ie, the first on the boat, the second to kill the survivors.) Around 5 min mark. Assuming more on this forthcoming.

We're still, I believe, in that space in which we choose whether this country falls to a sort of MAGA despotism or we take a u-turn and head towards democracy.
