Aaaaaand…this is exactly why the six lawmakers needed to remind servicemembers about not obeying unlawful orders (this will get driven home when Hegseth gets a pardon but no one else does)
NYT:
Five officials told us that Hegseth had nothing to do with the second strike

Washpost (which broke the story 2 days ago):
“This is ‘protect Pete’ bullshit,”
and
“It’s throwing us, the service members, under the bus.”

this is exactly why Mark Kelly et al did that spot telling military and intelligence officers they can refuse illegal orders — there's no way Hegseth or Trump will EVER accept blame for them
WAPO: “.. Officials in Congress and the Pentagon said Monday they are increasingly concerned that the Trump administration intends to scapegoat the military officer who directed U.S. forces to kill two survivors of a targeted strike ..”

And the POINT of that would be what? He has demanded the impeachment of Kegsbreath. Which may be attainable. Focus on what's possible.
Hakeem has NEVER demanded Trump's resignation and imprisonment.

That's the problem. The last election sounded like the most racist, sexist and xenophobic one Id ever seen and so many white people refused to even address how scary it was
...because white nationalism isn't an existential threat to all of them and they felt they could take their chances.

🧵 I thought I'd do a thread of "TV Shows that were canceled after one season (or less) that deserved better & are still worth watching".

It's unfortunate that this is an entire genre. There are SO MANY shows that should have gone on, but were unceremoniously canceled before they could thrive.

Ryan Lizza isn’t the most reliable, but he’s not stupid. The Nuzzi/RFK Jr mess shows how access journalism warps politics.

Nuzzi favored Trump because RFK Jr wanted a Cabinet post.

She painted Biden as frail and gushed about Trump.

Nuzzi acted as RFK Jr's supportive spouse.

That's bias.

Please show me the part of Constitution where the MINORITY LEADER of the MINORITY PARTY (aka the Party with FEWER VOTES in the House than the MAJORITY PARTY) has the power to start Articles of Impeachment.

I'll wait.
For some reason Democratic leaders seem to prefer telling voters what they won’t be able to do, rather than what they’d like to do.

If Hegseth ordered a war crime and lied about it, shouldn’t Ds try for impeachment? Put Rs on the spot. They might get a few defections.

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

This has been my frustration with convincing people to get the flu shot *for years* now. Every article about flu was a photo of a shot in an arm, not people dying from it, not someone looking awful while sick with it. It made it hard to convince people to get the vaccine.
