Heinz-Wilhelm Eck, commander of the German U-boat U-582, was tried, convicted, condemned, and executed after the war for ordering his crew to shoot the survivors of a Greek merchantman, using exactly this same rationalization.
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.

Corporate Media is going to pretend that Trump is heartbroken about the two West Virginian National Guardsmen being shot in DC, but the entire point of moving a standing army into a peaceful city was to induce violence by The People to justify more violence by Trump on The People in retaliation.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.

This analysis of PA Gov Josh Shapiro's cave on climate change is the most Axios thing ever
![Between the lines: Muhlenberg College political scientist Christopher Borick called RGGI membership an "uncomfortable political fit for Shapiro," whose state is a huge gas producer.
Shapiro's been seeking alternatives that defuse claims he's hurting the state's economy, but that don't alienate him from Democrats and progressives, he said.
"I think the budget crisis may have given Shapiro an out on RGGI that makes both his reelection in 2026 and a possible presidential run less encumbered by this particular matter," Borick, who heads the school's Institute of Public Opinion, said via email.
The intrigue: The decision was about solving a budget impasse, not 2028 politics, Penn State Harrisburg political scientist Daniel Mallinson said.
It made sense for Shapiro, who was never a fan anyway.
"There is also good political cover at the moment due to consumers [who are] already feeling the effects of inflation across the economy," he said in an email.
The bottom line: "The political trick down the road, however, will be how to explain this to the progressive wing of the party in a presidential primary," he said, "but I would expect Shapiro to run more in the moderate lane so it won't hurt him there."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p5yoii26kayabauhkym3vtms/bafkreibz2n62z65slvbahwcz7c3sxlvyk2nvkdymgjbpt6ilnwr2anwlxm@jpeg)
