If you haven’t figured it out yet, republicans are turning America into Russia. They’re taking our money and rights away. It’s called tyranny. You know the thing MAGA claimed democrats would do?
Pastor Jorge Bautista was telling a Border Patrol agent "we come in peace" when the agent fired toxic powder at him, leaving him struggling to breathe.
“No one should be assaulted for being out there protesting,” he says.

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.”

What are we even doing here? I can’t find common ground with people who get off on the suffering of others. Don’t just kill the people we haven’t even proved are criminals, bring them pain. I can’t relate to this. This is inexcusable to me. I’m sickened.
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."

I know nothing about military laws, but killing 2 civilians clinging to a demolished boat in the middle of the ocean sounds a heck of a lot like murder to me.

I hope every military officer see this. This administration will throw you under the bus.
Leavitt said Admiral Frank Bradley directed a second strike to “ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat of narco-terrorists to the United States was completely eliminated.”

Any member of congress that supports the murder of civilians in international waters needs to be held accountable..
Reporter: While you have these Republicans defending the strikes on the narco terrorists and then a pardon for a convicted drug trafficker, does that make it more difficult for your members to defend your administration's policies?

the military should take a clear message here: they will order you to do illegal things and then throw you directly under the bus if it becomes a problem
not that admiral bradley here does not deserve to be in jail, he absolutely does
