When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.
(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.

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 SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam. It would take away the rights of working people to make their voices heard at the ballot box.
The Senate must reject this bill.
Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies."
No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.
Not even slightly surprised!
Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.
You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.
Holy shit!! Horrifying

Smug little DOGE bastard.
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice” attributed to MLK is often the only thing keeping me from yielding to the pit of despair. Some days I wonder if I’ll live long enough to see it.
DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK.
COVERUPS WON’T WORK.
NOT EVEN WAR.
RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Major truth bombs!
Only chance this little boy has to be president is if enough people above him die, if he’s even in the line of succession… I don’t care enough to actually check.
I had to look it up, so I appreciate your comment.
Those taunting videos take it from irresponsible to downright insane.
Morning.
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.

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.

THE HILL SENATE Hawley introduces bill to remove FDA approval for Mifepristone BY ALEXANDER BOLTON - 03/11/26 5:29 PM ET
THE HILL Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Wednesday unveiled legislation to remove Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the use of mifepristone to end pregnancies, a bill that has quickly gained the support of major anti-abortion groups. The legislation is an ambitious undertaking given the drug's widespread use in the United States, where an estimated 7.5 million women have used it to terminate pregnancies since the FDA approved its use in 2000. It accounted for 63 percent of all abortions in the U.S. in 2023. But mifepristone, which when combined with the drug misoprostol can end pregnancies at up to 70 days of gestation, has become a major target of the anti-abortion movement. President Trump has sought to satisfy those anti-abortion voices by launching an FDA review of the drug, which has not been completed. Hawley says the ability of doctors to prescribe the drug across state lines has led to rampant abuse and alleges that incidences of adverse health effects are far more common than the drug's maker, Danco Laboratories, has acknowledged.
While we’re worried about the war, the Epstein files, drone attacks in CA…
Josh Hawley and Republicans are taking this moment to push legislation to strip FDA approval for Mifepristone
The assaults on Americans are coming from inside the house.
Journalists are getting better at asking an aging Trump hard-hitting questions, and he's starting to get truly ticked off.
Trump snapped at PBS News Hour reporter Liz Landers today after she dared to push back against his false claims about the 2020 election, calling her "a rotten reporter.”
LANDERS: Why did the FBI seize election records in AZ?
TRUMP: They probably thought the election was rigged
LANDERS: It wasn't though
TRUMP: Oh really? How do you know?
LANDERS: Your own AG said it
TRUMP: If you say it wasn't rigged, you're a rotten reporter
LANDERS: Where's the evidence?
So the Pentagon blew through >$50B in five days of September — "more than the total military budgets of Canada and Mexico combined" — on stuff such as lobster tails and a grand piano … but wants Congress to hand it another $50B to fund Trump's stupid war in Iran?
No. Hell no. Absolutely not.
This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
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."
