1/ A thread on the rule of law and the second run to kill the survivors on the Venezuelan boat initially strafed by the US.
The American rule of law has a history that predates independence. In pre-Revolutionary England, the law was a tool that Parliament used to cabin the power of the monarchy.

Thanks so much for giving Senator Kelly a platform, haters! He's making gorgeous use of it and looking pretty fearless too.
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.
And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

The news has entirely failed to grasp the unprecedented scope of the ICE and DHS budgets. Nothing like it in modern history.
