The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.
I follower a few defense experts.
Seeing them all straight-up declare this a war crime without any him-and-hawing is uhm
Disconcerting.
Pete Hegseth must resign, as does Stephen Miller. Donald Trump should be subpoenaed before Congress to answer for HIS policy.

When the strongest argument for your policy is a list of lies (I count 7) and exaggerations (another 5), you reveal more than a wonky list of truths ever would.

Trump's "muscular" trade policy has left the U.S begging China to buy our agricultural products - and begging China to sell the U.S. rare earth minerals. Meanwhile, inflation is crushing U.S. consumers. Great job Donald!
CNBC: My understanding is the White House said that China was gonna buy 12 million tons of soybeans from the US by January. That's approaching and they've only purchased 332,000. China has not confirmed that pledge.

This is a great observation. I would add TV sitcoms to the list of things that portrayed a non-existent world that many long for.
The 50s were a victory lap for WW2 US propagandists turned advertisers, shilling a utopian view of tomorrow so hard we compare ourselves to something that didn’t exist

Trump is giving illegal orders. It's not debatable. There is no justification for blowing fishing boats out of the water in the Caribbean on suspicion of drug smuggling. It's cold-blooded murder. Not war, not policing, murder.
The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders.
The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here:

They were right to question Biden's acuity. They are wrong to do so little to scrutinize Trump's. Simple as that.
Breaking character: I am open to the idea the media's coverage of Biden's age and mental acuity was fair or perhaps not even tough enough. But the fact that it was so much tougher than the coverage of Trump's (more severe) mental decline is damning and I can't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
