If the press weren't hopelessly cowed, major publications would be tracking the crimes that the 1000+ goons Trump pardoned in his first week in office have committed since then and we'd all have a sense of that number.

It may sound radical, but if one guy has so much wealth and power that he can use the large newspaper he owns to publicly threaten to ruin a service we all rely on, presumably as a bargaining tactic to get lower rates, we probably need to tax that guy until he can't do that anymore.

We really need more & more people to loudly state that SCOTUS is a rogue, illegitimate court.
They don’t have to explain why they allow one thing (Texas) and will strike down the other (California). A justification isn’t the point. They’re telling you they are in charge and can do whatever they want and you can’t stop them.

It’s driving me nuts that the Trump admin shifted the focus to solely the 2nd strike, & the press & many Dems are just going along with that.
The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

That second part is what should really have Republicans spooked. This isn't just Democratic turnout differential like '23-24 specials. Their own voters are turning on Trump.
14% swing from 2024 when all is said and done? Pretty good considering just how high-profile the race became in the last week
Turnout is currently *93%* of 2022, and it's also a 14% swing from 2022 despite similar turnout levels

Then he appeared to battle sleep for more than an hour.

The point not being made well, is that *it would still be unlawful murder* even if they knew that the people on the boats were drug dealers, terrorists, or other sorts of criminals. It’s extrajudicial killings, in international waters, & at a time when we are not engaged in war.
Rand Paul just posted this letter from the Coast Guard confirming that 1/4 of the boats they stop carry no contraband. The likelihood that Hegseth & Bradley ordered the murder of innocent civilians is very high.
