All Hegseth does at his press conferences is make bloodthirsty taunts and recite his holy scripture.

This is what Iran's leaders do.

Ballparking here but I would put their combined age at 31

And not for nothing but I would also place several grand on them being among the 51% of Republicans under 50 who (per the latest Pew poll) think the Holocaust was "overstated"

Secretary Of Defense Hegseth Casually Promises Iranians ‘No Quarter’ – A War Crime The term is defined as refusing to spare surrendering troops and killing them instead, a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions.

Hegseth spent the years before he was made Secretary of Defense defending convicted war criminals on the theory that virtually nothing is a war crime.

Trump chose him to be the civilian head of DoD *so that he would order war crimes committed*.

Everything he's doing is what he was appointed to do.

Yes, It’s Finally Time to Talk About Trump and Treason A lawyer who for a decade opposed discussions of Trump and Treason as premature says the Second Iran War and recent revelations in the Epstein Files make it not just a necessary but urgent topic.

It's time. I've opposed this conversation for a decade, as the legal standard hadn't been met. Now the standard for launching a criminal investigation clearly has been—and the Democrats *can* and *must* launch their own probe so they are ready (if facts warrant) to impeach Trump for Treason in 2027.

Putin Personally Oversaw Forced Deportation of Ukrainian Children to Russia, UN Report Confirms UN inquiry says Russian leadership, including Putin, directed systematic transfer of Ukrainian children to Russia, qualifying as crimes against humanity.

🚨 UN confirms Putin personally oversaw the systematic forced deportation of Ukrainian children.

A new report classifies the deportation of Ukrainian children as "crimes against humanity," detailing a state-run system of indoctrination and illegal citizenship changes.

It’s quite obvious what is happening here. bsky.app/profile/seth...

In the 1920s, there was an enormous Klan-aligned caucus in the House of Representatives that passed an immigration restriction bill designed to keep out Catholics and Jews because they supposedly posed an existential threat to American civilization. 100 years later, here we are.

A War Still in Search of a Mission Changing your mind about the goals of war after you’ve started one is never a good idea

Michael McFaul: "It is a reflection of our current political environment that Trump has been able to take the United States into a war that few Americans wanted, that he never mentioned on the campaign trail, and that received neither congressional authorization, nor UN or NATO approval."

If US democracy was functional, this would have led to an immediate impeachment and removal from office.

Exclusive 1m ago The Trump administration will receive a $10 billion fee for brokering the deal that kept TikTok alive in the U.S.

JFC.

Impeach and remove this lawless man, you fools.

If the government really is worried about Iranian sleeper cells, then it was probably a mistake to systematically reorient the majority of US counterterror resources toward arresting immigrant grandmothers and five-year-olds in bunny hats

Jared Kushner Solicits Funds for His Firm While Working as Mideast Envoy

Oh www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/b...

Let's be clear: you would not be pulling THAADs from South Korea and moving a Marine Expeditionary Unit from Japan to the Gulf two weeks after launching a war on Iran if you had properly anticipated the fallout it would be likely to cause.

The 2016 conversation Paul Ryan wanted to keep private YouTube video by Washington Post

Kevin McCarthy & Paul Ryan should be questioned by Congress about this.

If Clinton had to answer questions about Epstein, they should answer ?s about Putin.

“There are two people I think Putin pays—Rohrabacher and Trump. Swear to God.”

- Kevin McCarthy, June 2016

I don't know, but I guess it bothers me some that the President of the United States posted on social media that it is his great honor to be killing people. 🤷‍♂️

Incredible that just 24 hours after this tweet, it's being reported that America is preparing to put boots on the ground in Iran.

MY Senator! Love both Ossoff & Warnock, two of the very best. Sen. Ossoff is a young & dynamic speaker, with amazing gravitas at the right moments.
Warnock is also a great orator; he is the minister of the same church that had MLK as its minister.
Be sure to throw some support to Ossoff if able.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

We are a nation of 349M, yet one man decided to launch our nation into a reckless, illegal war without congressional authorization or counsel or the support of the American people. He didn’t think he had any duty to sell it or serve the people’s interests. This is why despotic rule is so dangerous.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week.

Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool.

But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

Hegseth: More fake news from CNN reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war's impact on the Strait of Hormuz. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.

Historians of the collapse of American global dominance will need to balance a long-term structural shifts that were more or less inevitable with short-term stupidity that made that collapse much faster and more costly than it could have been.

FWIW, I think Iran has every interest in dragging this war on for the foreseeable future. Regime collapse seems a distant prospect at this point and the lesson that they need to deliver - despite tremendous human and infrastructure costs - is "never do this again."

(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

✋ Former USG war crimes lawyer here.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

From DoD's Manual for Military Commissions.

The Pentagon is moving an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) to the Middle East.

This consists of an amphibious task force naval element and a landing force (Marine Expeditionary Unit / MEU) and about 5,000 marines.

How Trump hacked the judiciary His fake "emergencies" are pushing the country toward autocracy.

"Trump loves claiming his Article II power is unlimited, allowing him to ignore courts & Congress as long as he can say there’s an emergency or he’s acting w/ his prerogative or both. It's a justification Rs have used to justify the Iran War, even though it literally contradicts the Constitution."

KILMEADE: You think Putin is helping Iran?

TRUMP: I think he might be helping them a little bit, yeah, & he probably thinks we're helping Ukraine, right?

K: You are, right?

T: Yeah, we're helping them also, & so he says that, & China would say the same thing. It's like, hey, they do it & we do it

NATO Ambassador Matthew Whitaker: "If Russia is helping Iran in any meaningful way, it's not very successful, because we are kicking Iran's butt right now"
