Just saw the video of the ICE shooting in Minnesota.
That’s murder, full stop.
You don’t shoot someone in the head for trying to flee the scene.

Frey: "Beyond leaving the scene, they should also leave our city and our state ... crime is down. What this federal administration is doing right now is not about creating safety. Do not let them tell you that what they are do is about creating safety. It is not. It is having the opposite impact."

Pretty wild how fast MAGA went from “no new wars!” to “Invade Venezuela, bomb Iran, bomb Nigeria, destabilize Cuba, attack Colombia, threaten Mexico, and annex Greenland!!”
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

Trump is already threatening Venezuela’s interim leader, Delcy Rodríguez, saying that “if she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro”

This is a highly unusual order from a Secretary of Defense, and it’s almost certainly a war crime.
In the strike in question, two people survived and were clinging to the side of the ruined boat, and a second mission was spun up to execute them.

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.

He’s looking pretty rough, but I don’t want to speculate there - evil has a tendency to linger.
FWIW, the administration is doing everything they can to squash talks of his health. Notice how he’s been sitting at almost all of his events lately?
