Starting to look like there is indeed additional info here that didn't make it into the charging docs and doesn't fit the government's preferred narrative.

So:
1) There was never a "fight" to begin with
2) There aren't any visible drugs (not that it would matter if there were)
3) They watched two clearly helpless people try not to drown in the ocean for 41 minutes, not "staying in the fight"
4) Then they killed them
This is straight up murder.

Hegseth's "fog of war" claim is nonsense, if this account of what video shows is correct: The two men obviously were visible.
Tom Cotton's claims also in doubt: Rep Smith says drugs not visible. The decision that the men were still in the fight looks very shaky:

DON Jr: It's almost like the pipebombs were the backup plan if they didn't get what they wanted out of January 6, which to me seems like a very clear setup operation

No, Progressives Don’t Want “Purity.” They Just Want Some Courage.
When left-leaning Democrats complain about corporate influence, it’s not a “purity test.” It’s a demand for a better politics.

There’s no debate that property taxes have been going up far too much and too fast on Boston residents. Senator Collins and his colleagues know how to fix this, because they just voted to pass Watertown’s residential tax relief home-rule petition in 2023 without any debate or objection.
