At what point do we need to worry about/face sanctions for war crimes/state sponsored murder of civilians?
Because it feels like yesterday…

The US military conducted strikes against two alleged drug-trafficking boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing 5 people, according to US Southern Command.

At least 104 people have now been killed in similar US strikes, and Thursday’s attack marks the third this week. https://cnn.it/48X0HCI

Please make sure every military member you know knows this.
Trump’s promise Wednesday to pay troops a “warrior dividend” bonus is actually a military housing stipend already approved by Congress, and not a generous new White House program.
Trump claims credit for military bonus that Congress already approved
The White House’s plans for a “warrior dividend” to reward troops this holiday season are actually housing assistance funds approved this summer.

Obviously the violation of freedom of religion is the important story here.
But as someone from the Midwest, I feel compelled to point out that “The Great American State Fair” is likely to spark a civil war between fair loyalists from Minnesota and Iowa…

Absolutely disgusting state-level example of prioritizing tax cuts for the wealthy over victim and community safety.
Faced with a bleak financial situation, lawmakers turned to a little-known fund to help domestic violence survivors and pay for other priorities. But now that fund doesn’t have enough money to cover those commitments. 🔗 buff.ly/AlWr51J

So I understand Biden is to blame for the existence of immigrants.
I understand American citizens with Somali roots are apparently enemy #2, close behind Antifa.
Knowing most Somali Americans have been here pre-Obama, I am struggling to connect the dots to Biden. Back to the Future situation?
Full on neo-Nazi conspiracy theories from the president tonight — the very same invasion and replacement conspiracy theories that have fueled a cycle of deadly violence targeting so many communities including immigrants, Jews, Latinos, the Black community, Muslims, and more.
Trump’s primetime diatribe against immigrants is straight up unvarnished Nazi stuff

Friends, I present the party of fiscal conservatives.
So Trump is just giving away another $2.6 billion in taxpayer money for “bonuses” that was not appropriated for that purpose by our duly elected representatives in Congress, while we are $38 trillion in debt.

Damn, Trump sounds so tired. He can’t seem to muster his usual delusional enthusiasm when he claims the US is “the hottest country in the world.”

We kept seeing people say Trump would start a war right before the Epstein release deadline. Looks like you were right, this sure looks like Trump declaring war on Venezuela on social media, without congressional approval.

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it’s Tuesday.
A blockade is literally an act of war. Just mounting one is declaring war. Without Congressional approval or public support.

I honestly expected more from a FIFA Peace Prize recipient
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Narrator: It was not, in fact, simple economics.
It was, simply, Racism.
The administration is entirely post-truth.

The Republican propaganda that Trump “inherited” a bad economy from Biden and is making it better is the exact opposite of true. The numbers don’t lie and people know what they are experiencing.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

A cast of Trump’s lesser-known political appointees and DOGE operatives cut programs in ways that guaranteed widespread harm and death in some of the world’s most desperate situations.

From our friends at @propublica.org:
Trump officials celebrated with cake after slashing aid. Then people died of cholera.
ProPublica uncovered that after USAID funding cuts, cases of cholera in South Sudan spiked.
