Pete Hegseth’s Troubled Soul The defense secretary appears unable to approach matters of of life and death with even the slightest bit of reverence or humility.

Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon briefings since the war against Iran began “have reminded the world why he is exactly the wrong person to hold the position he does,” Peter Wehner argues:

LIEU: Did Amalia commit a crime?

NOEM: She did not. She's with her family

LIEU: The reason she's with her family is because she almost died in ICE detention until folks brought a lawsuit forcing her release

Footage from Pflugerville Municipal Court in Texas where students from four high schools gathered to protest against ICE. The kids are alright!

The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

I hope they are shunned by family and friends.

Sanders: I am very worried that ICE is becoming a domestic army for Trump, and this goes way beyond the issue of immigration. It goes to the movement of this country toward authoritarianism and fear.

Did NOT happen. Just another lie from an opportunistic fraud who makes up stories.

Absolutely right.

And I think it's especially true in this case as ICE has been a magnet for thugs who couldn't cut it in the military or normal law enforcement but desperately want to be respected as A Troop.

This is why it's particularly effective when actual veterans show up to mock them.

Embracing Impeachment The case against Trump and his cabinet keeps growing—and the argument for waiting is no longer convincing.

Democrats cannot ignore Trump's abuses. What they can do is their level best to expose them to as many people as possible right now—and when the time is right, to stop them.

U.S. Attacked Boat With Aircraft That Looked Like a Civilian Plane

Breaking NYT:

The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first boat attack, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The laws of armed conflict forbid combatants from feigning civilian status.

That is a war crime called "perfidy."

Time to Ask if Stephen Miller Has Authorized Assault and Murder of Peaceful ICE Observers - emptywheel Given how consistently Greg Bovino is at the scene of unjustified violence against ICE observers, including today's shooting, and given Bovino's refusal to answer whether Stephen Miller has given him ...

The invasion of MN is, I strongly believe, an attempt to create cause to invoke Insurrection Act.

It is a pivotal moment to attempt to discredit the goons or face civil war.

Greg Bovino's job, from day one, has been to create excuses to invade military.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists.

Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot.

It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”
