Dear Senator Cassidy,
“We” didn’t. WE didn’t pardon anyone. HE did. The President of the United States pardoned him. Come on Bill, say his name. Who’s our president? Say his name.

As former Bush OLC leader Jack Goldsmith writes, the DOD manual prohibits killing shipwrecked enemies. If reporting is correct, killing helpless men clinging to boats was a war crime.

Reporter: If there were a second strike that killed wounded people, would that be legal?
Trump: I don’t know that happened and Pete said he did not even know what people were talking about. I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal. It was fine.

Weekend Read: How the CIA Learned to Stop Worrying and Embrace Partisanship
A politically charged shooting, a public attack on a senator, and an internal revolt over a new covert war reveal an agency crossing lines it once swore to avoid.

Issues the GOP has broken with Trump on in the last month:
Epstein
Healthcare
Redistricting
Hegseth’s war crimes
He’s losing every ounce of support he had.

It’s not a stretch to say that my former political party is now firmly pro-Russia/pro-Putin. Not a stretch at all. It’s traitorous, but it’s true. Look, the leader of my former political party works for Putin. He’s on Putin’s side. Always has been. And the party has followed him.

Everyone saw this coming.
Trump stiffed his contractors, then fell out w/his architect because he refused to back his demand for a ballroom bigger than the WH.
And those corporate donations he keeps bragging about are pledges, not real money. Taxpayers will end up on the hook one way or another.

Never forget:
The Oct 18 No Kings Rally pissed Trump off so much he demolished the White House’s east wing that weekend, in a critical and utterly miscalculated PR disaster.
Don’t tell me the protests didn’t matter.
After that, Dems swept the elections.
