The Clippers:

* gave up a 30-2 run led by a player they traded to save future $

* have fallen from 3rd to 27th in defense

* might have broken Ty Lue, who did a rage sub early in the 3rd

Good thing the Clippers arena has all those toilets ...
... because this team needs to be flushed.

2. The positive experience of Canada with such a system does not necessarily translate into success elsewhere.

3. A backlog of cases is no excuse to throw away the rights of defendants

I get that Canada has a system in which trial by jury is only a thing if a person is facing a penalty of more than 5 years in prison, & it mostly works for them but...

Pete Hegseth responded to all this with the smirking, adolescent sadism of a schoolyard bully pulling the legs off of a spider. Now juxtapose this with the horror experienced by a source who saw the imagery of the men being blown apart in the water:

This is also good: Rep Adam Smith calls for public release of the DOJ memo supposedly justifying Trump's bombings. And he says he'll push Republicans to start using subpoena power to get testimony from top officials, both military and civilian:

This is a big deal: Jack Goldsmith, former head of OLC, says that if WaPo's report is right, Pete Hegseth's order might have been an illegal one.

WaPo reports that the commander overseeing the strikes gave a rationale but Goldsmith says it doesn't hold up:

Pete Hegseth denies he gave the order to kill them all. But even some Republicans now appear to be demanding answers, so Frank Bradley, who oversaw the bombings, is in discussions with House Armed Services about coming in.

Rep Adam Smith lays out his Qs to me here:

News --> The commander who oversaw Pete Hegseth's alleged killing of two boat bombing survivors is now likely to come in and face questions from the House Armed Services Committee, ranking Dem Adam Smith tells me.

In this piece, I try to make sense of this horror:

Trump Boat Bombings Suddenly on Shakier Ground as Damning Info Emerges
Will Republicans give us a real investigation into Trump’s bombings, now that we just learned horrific new details about them? Or are they seriously going to fall on their swords for Pete Hegseth?

These racist throwback creatures are flying around the world in their luxury private jets, treated like movie stars everywhere, billions of dollars at their disposal, and they’re absolutely drunk with power and unearned wealth.

Oh I bet admiral knew this beforehand.

US officers are more like politicians than they want to admit.
If Admiral Bradley didn’t realize before that these cowards were setting him up to take the fall, he knows it now. Time to hire a good lawyer.
