Breaking NYT:
The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.
The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.
That is a war crime called "perfidy."

When I teach the Nuremberg Tribunals, almost no one gets the hidden 4th crime: conspiracy to commit any one of the other 3. This was an innovation straight from American law, and was how many of the political and propaganda officers were convicted of what were formerly 'only' military crimes.
This entire administration should be subject to RICO charges.

Donald Trump is now using DOJ to threaten the Fed Chair. Threats to an independent Fed impact market stability, inflation, costs, your retirement, and employment—things Americans cannot afford. This is clearly an abuse of power.

Trump can't outright fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell (SCOTUS said so in the MSPB/NLRB case), so he has to create "cause." That's what this investigation is about, as I mentioned here: bsky.app/profile/muel...
Trump is totally going to fire him, but b/c SCOTUS has said in an unrelated case that he can't, Trump has installed his favorite IG - Horowitz - who "lost" the Bove whistleblower complaints at DoJ, as the new Fed Reserve watchdog. Probs to look into that building cost flub where Powell corrected him
Powell: "Increased tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods. Near-term measures of inflation expectations have moved up on balance over the course of this year on news about tariffs."

I've stopped calling Trump a "would-be dictator." I just say "dictator" now. The news about Trump weaponizing the Justice Department against Fed chairman Jerome Powell is just the latest piece of evidence that Trump feels unconstrained by laws or rules. He's a dictator until we prove otherwise.

An sich habe ich den Kerl immer als amüsanten wie harmlosen Spinner abgetan - aber letztendlich trug er wohl sein nicht geringen Anteil zu der derteitigen Desinformationswüste bei.
