“The currently governing DOD Manual in Section 5.9 states clearly that persons ‘placed hors de combat may not be made the object of attack.’ The Manual defines ‘hors de combat’ to include ‘persons . . . otherwise incapacitated by . . . shipwreck.’”

This is one of the most important exposés published in WSJ in several years, and it derives from intercepts and analyses by foreign intelligence services studying the conduct of Trump and his inner team. It's first and foremost a wake up call to the people of the United States.
Make Money Not War: Trump’s Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine
The Kremlin pitched the White House on peace through business. To Europe’s dismay, the president and his envoy are on board.

This is madness! The “no new wars” president is taking us to war with Venezuela.

Bombing ships in the Caribbean, as an ongoing operation, without congressional authorization, crosses the line into an unconstitutional use of military force.

Extraordinary WSJ reporting today that unveils the extent to which Trump, Witkoff, Kushner and US business executives are salivating over business deals with Russia while Putin’s forces kidnap Ukranian children and bomb civilians in their apartments.

🎁 www.wsj.com/world/russia...
WSJ Gentry Beach, a college friend of Donald Trump Jr. and campaign donor to his father, has been in talks to acquire a stake in a Russian Arctic gas project if it is released from sanctions. Another Trump donor, Stephen P. Lynch, paid $600,000 this year to a lobbyist close to Trump Jr. who is helping him seek a Treasury Department license to buy the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from a Russian state-owned company. One sign that he may be serious is that some of his most-trusted friends, sanctioned billionaires from his St. Petersburg hometown-Gennady Timchenko, Yuri Kovalchuk and the Rotenberg brothers, Boris and Arkady-have sent representatives to quietly meet American companies to explore rare-earth mining and energy deals, according to people familiar with the meetings and European security officials. That includes reviving the giant Nord Stream pipeline, sabotaged by Ukrainian tactical divers, and under European Union sanctions. Earlier this year, Exxon Mobil met with Russia's biggest state energy company, Rosneft, to discuss returning to the massive Sakhalin gas project if Moscow and Washington gave the green light.

Imagine getting ready for your daughter to come home from her freshman year of college for Thanksgiving, and the day of departure she goes MIA, and then 48 nightmarish hours later she calls you to tell her that ICE goons kidnapped her and shipped her to Honduras www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/25/m...
Lopez Belloza made it through security but was stopped as she was about to board the plane, Pomerleau said. "They wouldn't tell her why she was being detained. She didn't understand it at all," Pomerleau said. She was then taken to the Burlington ICE field office, then flown to Texas, Pomerleau said. The Department of Homeland Security and Babson College did not immediately respond to a request for comment. After a frantic 48-hour search, her family received a call from her on Saturday from Honduras, a country she had not lived in since she was a child. The federal government had quickly deported her, the lawyers said, and Lopez Belloza had found her way to her grandparents' house and called her father.

When the Senate confirmed Hegseth, it had good information that he was an emotionally dysregulated drunk who had committed a horrific sexual assault. The war crimes are on every member who voted for him knowing exactly who he is.

BREAKING: As part of his contempt inquiry, Judge Boasberg orders DHS Sec Kristi Noem and other officials to submit declarations by 12/5 attesting to their actions relating to the decision not to turn around March 15 Alien Enemies Act flights.

Background: www.lawdork.com/p/aclu-lawye...
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA J.G.G., et al., Plaintiffs, V. DONALD J. TRUMP, et al., Defendants. Civil Action No. 25-766 (JEB) ORDER At the hearing on November 19, 2025, the Court offered both sides an opportunity to propose next steps in its inquiry into whether a criminal-contempt referral is appropriate. The Government, now for the first time, has identified who purportedly made the decision not to recall planes containing Alien Enemies Act detainees on March 15, 2025: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. See ECF No. 195 (Def. Resp.) at 2. Defendants nonetheless maintain, relying heavily on Judge Katsas's concurring opinion for the D.C. Circuit panel, that her decision was proper and not contumacious. Id. at 3-4 (citing J.G.G. v. Trump, 147 F.4th 1044, 1052 (D.C. Cir. 2025) (Katsas, J., concurring)). As a result, the Government posits that "no further steps are warranted" because "Defendants did not violate this Court's order." Id. at 1. Given that the other two panel members (plus the majority of the en banc court) did not agree with J. Katsas, the Court is not prepared at this juncture to terminate its inquiry. Instead, it must determine whether Secretary Noem or anyone else should be referred for potential contempt prosecution. In other words, the Court must decide if: (1) the court order was "clear and reasonably specific"; (2) "the defendant violated the order"; and (3) "the violation was willful." United States v. Young, 107 F.3d 903, 907 (D.C. Cir. 1997) (quoting United States v. NYNEX Corp., 8 F.3d 52, 54 (D.C. Cir. 1993)). In conducting such inquiry, Plaintiffs submit that the Court should "require the government to promptly file declarations) identifying all individuals involved in the decision not to halt the transfer of class members out of U.S. physical custody on March 15 and 16, 2025." ECF No. 193 (Pl. Resp.) at 1. "[O]nce these declarations are filed and depending on what information they disclose, the Court should then determine the appropriate sequence of witness testimony, and the manner in which that testimony should be provided." Id. The Government similarly notes: "If the Court believes any further information is needed for [its inquiry], Defendants respectfully request an opportunity to provide that information to the Court by way of declarations in the first instance (as even Plaintiffs agree is appropriate)." Def. Resp. at 1. The Court will adopt the parties' agreement on starting with declarations; it will then assess the need for witness testimony. It therefore ORDERS that by December 5, 2025, the Government shall submit declarations from all individuals involved in the decision not to halt the transfer of class members out of U.S. physical custody on March 15 and 16, 2025. Such declarations shall detail their roles in such decision. /s/ James E. Boasberg JAMES E. BOASBERG Chief Judge

Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

At Law Dork overnight, I wrote about Wednesday's shooting of two National Guard troops — their presence, the shooting, and Trump's response.

Quite simply, all of it is wrong. The troops shouldn't have been in DC, violence is unacceptable, and "more troops" is not the answer.
The two shot National Guard troops never should have been in DC. More troops is no answer.
The violence is horrible and unacceptable. Trump, Pete Hegseth, and West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey never should have put the troops in this position.

Because West Virginia national guard absolutely shouldn't have been there, the administration reaction will be that much more extreme to head off those questions.

With our military stretched so thin between killing fishermen and bullying blue cities, there can't be many left to defend America. Trump using the military as his own personal bullying force is like a big WELCOME sign for the rest of the world to come attack the country. It's unguarded.
