Hegseth blew up another boat and killed more people. We have no idea who they were or what they were doing because it’s just “trust me, bro” while we kill people.

The remarkable thing isn’t the rebuke, IT’S THAT THE PRESIDENT TRIED TO PROSECUTE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FOR TELLING PEOPLE NOT TO BREAK THE LAW

honor killings come to america
A MAGA freak in Texas murdered his own daughter in cold blood after they had an argument about Trump.

A grand jury in the Dallas area then *declined to indict him*, and he has not yet faced charges.

Seems like many Texans believe a man has the right to kill his own child for disobedience.

Even if you don’t like “pornography” or think kids shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near “pornography,” consider that the people with power to legislate what that MEANS have a very different definition than you do

Ten years ago today, #SCOTUS issued five unsigned and unexplained 5-4 rulings granting emergency applications to block President Obama’s Clean Power Plan—a completely unprecedented move that helped to usher in the Court’s modern … (mis)adventures … with its shadow docket.
