Jason Crow: "I did three combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. I saw the unedited video of that double tap strike in early September that killed survivors. It was gutting to me because there was just no justification for that second strike. That's not who we are as a country."

I noticed Pete Hegseth used to post the boat strikes himself, now he points to Dept of War who points to U.S. Southern Command. They are putting responsibility on the military leaders.

Yet another reminder that when billionaires take control of media, it’s not a win for free speech.
It’s a win for oligarchy.
The super-rich won't hesitate to sell out the American public if it means getting merger approvals or deregulation that helps their bottom line.

This is pretext. Trump’s been obsessed w/wind turbines for decades, which began after Scotland put some in near his golf course. He sued the govt & lost, which is why he claims they cause cancer, mental illness in whales, bird extinctions, etc. Welcome to the 19th century. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Burgum: "Today we're sending notifications to the 5 large offshore wind projects that are under construction that their leases will be suspended due to national security concerns ... the Dept of War has come back conclusively that these large offshore wind programs create radar interference"

If radar interference were truly disqualifying, offshore wind wouldn’t exist anywhere — including in countries with far more sensitive naval operations than ours.

This is stunning. Blanche is claiming, with a straight face, that the only federal prison where a convicted sex offender can adequately be protected from other inmates just so happens to be a minimum security prison that gives her puppy playdates.
Truly preposterous.
