Drug trafficking is not a capital crime; it doesn’t carry a death sentence. I genuinely cannot think of anything under U.S. law that would permit premeditated government assassination of people suspected of drug trafficking.
Here's the video Trump just posted to Truth Social, with the claim that 11 people aboard the boat were killed.
There is zero evidence of self-defense here. Looks like a massacre of civilians at sea.
Even if they had drugs aboard, that's not a capital offense.

To the DC pols who sit silently (or worse, applaud) while masked, unidentified law enforcement officers from near and far racially profile, kidnap and disappear neighbors, and terrorize schools and public spaces, we see you. Your complicity will be judged harshly by history. I hope you feel shame.
Mayor Muriel Bowser has praised the surge and reserved her criticisms for ICE wearing masks. But tonight at a local school it was MPD who pulled up their gaiter, put on gloves, and approached me masked.

I’m sorry, but a few funny tweets written by his staff aren’t going to convince me that GCN isn’t a power-hungry neolib who will compromise any time it’s politically expedient.

Man, I love me some Liz Warren.
It’s 2AM on a Sunday and I’m heading to the Capitol to FORCE a full reading of the Republicans’ 940-page bill.
This bill will rip health care coverage away from 16 million people and cut food assistance.
It’s sick. And we will not stand for it.

Ending Medicaid in order to build concentration camps. I feel, as always, there should be some kind of nonstop barrage of ads across America, every Democrat on every platform saying something like “Republicans want to end Medicaid in words to build concentration camps.”
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

And, now that we can see the deal sheet, we think that Commandersopolis will actually cost us way, way more than anyone who wants it is telling you: ggwash.org/view/99327/a...
A Commanders stadium at RFK will actually cost taxpayers $6 billion
Mayor Muriel Bowser is asking the DC Council for $856 million in public funds to subsidize a new Commanders stadium. We think the real price paid by taxpayers will be more like…$6 billion.

If they believe they can deport a citizen without due process, they’ll do it to you too.
The Trump administration deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen on Friday.

Hours later, a conservative judge warned of his "strong suspicion" that the administration "just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process."
