I’m not always political, I do enjoy the finer things in life like baby goats doing their thang. Happy Saturday everyone.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarterβ€”even the declaration of no quarterβ€”is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

The founders gave us guardrails in the constitution, to protect from a rogue president.
But they depend on the rest of our elected leaders doing their jobs.
They never imagined an entire corrupt political party that would actually be traitors to the nation.
Now we know.

So we’re just going to forget all about this and never ask Trump, Leavitt or Hegseth about it again after the first day because this is totally normal so who cares.

Trump looks and sounds absolutely depleted today. He's so weak.

He would hate if you shared these photos taken earlier with your followers.

The next Big Lie is to taking shape right in front of us. Donald Trump will try to use this to assert illegal and unconstitutional powers over the 2026 elections.

ICE "should be abolished, but also it should be prosecuted" - Democratic Rep. @sethmoulton.bsky.social, from the centrist wing of the party, tells me he wants his party leadership to go further than just reforming ICE. Doing that is "no longer believable."

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Rep. Jason Crow on Rubio's Munich speech: "Not only did he say things I found disturbing, what was also important was what he did not say. He never mentioned Russia once. He never mentioned China once. There was historically revisionism."

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum posted cartoon with Coalie, big coal’s new mascot with the slogan β€œMine, Baby, Mine!”
There a subliminal message in that slogan. It could be taken two ways.

Not only were the files that were supposed to be made available to Members of Congress still redacted, but we also learned that Pam Bondi has been keeping track of what Members have reviewed.

Clearly, this is one big cover-up led by Pam.
