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.

NOPE!!!

Dark money group offers influencers $1,500 for posts attacking Chicago Democratic primary candidate Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh told MS NOW the secretive campaign is “filled with false and defamatory claims.”

HOLY SHIT.

A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.

Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

🎶 Near, far, wherever you are...

We know the coverup goes on & on & on...

THE KINK OF THE WORLD

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

The Epstein files need to become the Epstein trials.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche admits that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from Epstein files release.

Veterans across the country told ProPublica that one year into the second Trump administration, it’s become more difficult to get treatment, as hundreds of therapists and social workers have left the VA. Many of them have not been replaced.

Never textiles but I had one that decided one day that she loved to eat rubber bands. Never a whole, just small pieces well chewed.

Yes but Epstein who?

Impossible to imagine that scotus didn't think Citizens United would deliver fascism. It was so obvious it must have been intentional.

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.

Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.

The 25th is never happening.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

If this isn't abuse and fraud, I don't know what is.

We have no government right now.

This is what happens when you don't have a government.
(you get abused)

This is cruel and unusual punishment.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

1/ Here's what I can share:

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Not really breaking any news here.

JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.

Dem Bobbi Boudman has won today’s special election, NHJournal reports.

(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)

This is Dems’ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.

Man if you all are not listening to @David_J_Bier then you are missing out. Dude has all the receipts

CNN headline: “Analysis suggests US was responsible for deadly strike on Iranian elementary school”

The New York Times headline: “U.S. Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian School, Video Shows”

Reuters headline: “Exclusive: US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say”

southpaw on Bluesky: “Trump's slanderous accusation that Iran and not his own government committed this horrific atrocity in Minab was obviously going to be untenable, and it's already falling apart in a way that will tarnish America's reputation around the world.”

Trump doesn’t want the American people to know our tax dollars paid for the bombs that obliterated an Iranian elementary school.
