Now that Trump has illegally bombed a seventh boat in the Caribbean, please note this: Rep Adam Smith, ranking Dem on Armed Services, tells me that *at no point* have officials given lawmakers even the most basic information about these extrajudicial murders:

George Santos isn't going to grow, he isn't going to change, and if he walks a new path it will be in designer shoes he stole from a friend.

North Carolina Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud. Openly admitting to drawing a congressional map for Donald Trump.

It’s not just politics — it’s corruption. North Carolinians deserve free and fair elections, not gerrymandered districts.

Graphic from Pete Buttigieg that reads "The job market is getting worse.

Prices and costs are up - not down as Trump promised would happen from "day one."

Americans' everyday lives are very obviously not better than they were a year ago.

And that’s why the President has become so strikingly unpopular."

ALL of the violence in this country emanates from the right. All of it. The ICE raids, the military invasions, the street-level violence and hatred we all experience almost daily comes from the extreme radical right, and ONLY from the right.

When did the rules for training change? Or for even salutes?

In 25 years of service we were NEVER allowed to fire live rounds anywhere near the civilian population.

Who the fuck is in charge here?

USMC! You have FAILED!

Take your red stripes off and go home.

Failure on an epic scale.

FAIL!

Trump has launched seven deadly strikes in the Caribbean Sea.

Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.

He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
