This World AIDS Day, we mourn the hundreds of thousands of Americans lost to HIV/AIDS and stand with those living with the diagnosis today.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Do you assume that cutting the foreign aid will channel more money toward you? NO. The regime is also cutting your healthcare fund.
Every penny goes to the billionaire tax cut. The rest watch their party life, hoping for a trickle.

This administration is cutting foreign assistance programs left and right, including ones that promote inter-faith and cross-cultural dialogue — something they’ve claimed to care about.

My law firm is currently litigating 11 redistricting cases in 10 states. We are also litigating an additional 54 voting and election cases in 27 states.
This is as many cases as we typically handle going into the final months of the election. 2026 will almost certain be a record breaking year.

My book on US migration policy history covers the colonial period -1888. The research Q: "Which level of govt controlled migration?" For 100+ yrs it was the colonies/states. In 1888 immigration federalizes. In the Epilogue I bring the analysis up to date, showing the costs of federalization.
The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history. A galaxy of public/private surveillance and caging institutions for $100,000,000,000s unleashed on a public that will be forever changed. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

A lot of what Trump is doing can be called next-level awful, at least in its egregiousness.
But one thing he's about to do that no president has ever done. And it's something Republicans have dreamt about doing forever.

Aside from the extremely dubious question of whether the occupants of the Venezuelan boat even qualified as “combatants,” ordering a second strike from an aircraft for the sole purpose of killing defenseless people was absolutely an illegal order.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
