One citizen said that federal agents in Idaho pointed guns at her children, ages 6 and 8, and dragged her 14-year-old daughter out of a truck and zip-tied her.
The mother told investigators that an agent threatened to “fucking blow your head off.”

We always should mention the unstated qualifier to every one of these rulings: that the unitary executive doctrine only applies when the occupant of the WH is a Republican or some other type of fascist.
An oversimplified, but not that oversimplified, understanding of the political philosophy behind Trump & John Roberts's unitary executive theory is that democracy means the people vote for one guy, who then gets to decide everything. But real democracy involves a lot more points of public input.

I want us to hang on to the fact that the people who were murdered were just civilians out in boats, most likely fishermen, who had never even heard the sketchy conclusions of American officials for which they were executed, much less had a chance to defend themselves.
Megyn Kelly on alleged war crimes: "I really do kind of not only wanna see them killed in the water, whether they're on the boat or in the water, but I'd really like to see them suffer. I would like Trump and Hegseth to make it last a long time so they lose a limb and bleed out."
