I still can't believe how bad the democrats caved. Not only did they get literally nothing, after putting federal workers, & the country in general, through 40+ days of shutdown, they also voted to get rid of THC drinks.
There is a chance to fix this in January, and probably another chance after that. Call your senators & reps. This is so dumb though.
Even if you think psychoactive hemp derived THC products need better regulation, this is horrible, horrible policy.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.
We executed multiple members of that crew.

He Killed for the CIA in Afghanistan. Trump Blames Afghan Culture Instead of Langley’s
After the National Guard shooting, the US needs to reckon with how its legacy of global violence inevitably comes home. Stephen Miller wants to do anything but.

I have actually done some reimagining of the Bush 2 thing, and part of the calculus was the embarrassed press not admitting to itself it went all-in on the Iraq War along with the admin. So everybody hated both the press and the president.

As @letsgomathias.bsky.social reported, "remigration" has been used by white supremacists as "a euphemism for ethnically cleansing non-white people from Western countries." The GOP is "sourcing many of its talking points and policy ideas directly from neo-fascists."
