Everyone involved in this, including Trump, should be prosecuted for murder under the next administration.

Let him defend it with presidential immunity, and then take it back to SCOTUS after packing the court back into a real judicial body.
Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what “affiliated” even means!

Lots of fresh info in my new piece:

When ICE comes to Philly it’s going to be brutal
Portland resists with whimsical improv theater, Chicago resists by screaming at weird jagoffs that don’t belong in the neighborhood. Every city brings its own strengths to the fight
The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

Am starting to think that a lot of the loudest shouters about free speech don't have a fucking clue what it really stands for.

It isn't just what "you" want to hear. And it sure as heck isn't only worship crap about Charlie Kirk.

OTD in 1945 US Army Staff Sgt. Macario García received the Medal of Honor, becoming the first Mexican citizen to receive the US highest honor. The citation was for clearing two German machine gun nests “utterly disregarding his own safety.” He became a U.S. citizen in 1947.

Trump would deport him.

Trump Confesses that the United States Is a Client of Russia - emptywheel
The hold Putin has over Trump is existential for Trump. And unless we can expose that, the US will increasingly become a mere satellite of Russia.

Reup: Peterr's reflection on Bishop Budde & prayer service:

This is a service for the nation.

Not for "the citizens of" the nation.
Not for "the taxpayers of" the nation.
Not for "the leaders of" the nation.
This was a service for the nation-the *whole* nation.
