"Northwestern officials proudly noted that their pact with the WH explicitly declares that the agreement doesn’t allow the gov't to dictate “the content of academic speech and research” .... But the pact itself restricts speech and research at the university. Saying otherwise won’t change that."

Straight up war crime
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

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.

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

It wasn't just that Democrats won top races in Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California and NYC. That was predicted.
But in race after race, the margins of victory — including double-digit wins in the Virginia and NJ governor's races — were wider than expected.

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

Tonight's a good reminder: The GOP without Trump -- and he *will* be gone, one way or another -- is not going to be able to assemble a winning coalition. The schtick doesn't work unless he's the one selling it!

At this point, if you're interviewing a Republican about the president's latest transgression and you *don't* have the video or post or whatever cued up and ready to show them when they pretend they haven't seen it yet -- I'm just going to assume you're in on the con yourself.
