Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.
And recognized as such by the US Government.

How a Catch-a-Predator Sting Nabbed a Right-Wing Hatemonger
Was Jake Lang evaluating a teenage girl for a bikinis-and-burkas protest? Or was something more lecherous at play?
Jake Lang, the organizer of an anti-Muslim rally outside of Zohran Mamdani's home, is now in big trouble after being caught flirtatiously texting someone he believed to be a 15-year-old girl.

Leaked Private Texts Reveal Wild Fishback Campaign Drama
Aides feared candidate’s couch was repossessed, called heterosexual sex gay.
I got internal messages from far-right FL gov hopeful James Fishback's campaign, and they're wild. Staffers feared his couch would be repossessed, forcing them to sleep on the floor. And much more!

Insurrectionist Brunch: Trumpists plotted to deploy military on U.S. soil
Before the 2024 election, a cadre of MAGA loyalists met over brunch to plot ways for Trump to use the military domestically.
This is just astonishingly great reporting.
All of the crises the White House has claimed over the last 14 months were planned in advance. All of them.
And however much contempt you have for media outlets who reverently relayed Trump's claim to have no relation to Project 2025, it isn't enough.

designs for the obverse of a dollar coin featuring Trump, via https://www.usmint.gov/news/media-kit/semiq-dollar-coin
You know what we're not griping about enough? That Donald Trump's face is going to be on U.S. currency—on $1 coins—later this year. This will be the first time a living president has appeared solo on a coin, and one of the very few times a living individual has ever been on U.S. coinage.

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

“War is hell.”
And that is why the US Constitution and UN Charter sharply restrict going to war in the first place.
But POTUS violated both and went to war on a whim for spectacle and amusement.

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.

Sen. Cornyn: Why the SAVE Act matters more than the filibuster
Senate Republicans should use the authority the voters have entrusted in us to bring the far left’s obstruction to an end.
Sen John Cornyn has an op-ed in Rupert Murdoch's NYPost, arguing that reducing the number of voters in the midterms is essential to GOP success at the polls. This is the GOP success formula in Texas, which has the lowest voter rates in the entire developed world—by design.

Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., the president's sons, are backing a new drone company that is vying to meet fresh demand from the Pentagon and fill a hole left by the administration's ban on new Chinese drones in the U.S. https://on.wsj.com/4uyhkoO
Powerus, a drone roll-up company based in West Palm Beach, Fla., is merging with a publicly traded golf-course holding company backed by the Trumps, Powerus executives said. The reverse merger will result in Powerus, which was formed last year, trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange in the coming months.
The deal brings deeper involvement by the Trump family into a multibillion-dollar sector that has new opportunities for growth following changes imposed by the Trump administration. Those include the Pentagon's emphasis on large-scale, rapid adoption of small drones, and a national ban on new models of the Chinese drones that have for more than a decade dominated the consumer and commercial markets.
