Putin says Russia is ready if Europe “starts a war,” claiming Moscow doesn’t want conflict but is prepared. He also rejected current European peace proposals on Ukraine as “unacceptable” and threatened broader strikes on Ukrainian ports and vessels in response to recent tanker attacks.

A war in Europe would be yet another Republican Forever War for American troops. That's why it is imperative that Republicans join Democrats in standing with Ukraine, and ensuring Putin cannot launch a wider war in Europe.

According to the US Coast Guard, the year prior to Trump changing our policy to summary execution, only 21% of the vessels interdicted by them off the coast of Venezuela suspected of trafficking drugs had drugs on board. The other 79% had nothing. But now we just kill them all.

We can’t adopt their framing.
These are illegal strikes on civilian boats.
They have not given them due process or presented any proof they were “narcoterrorists”.
It’s not acceptable to execute survivors, but it’s worse to drone strike civilian boats.
Period.

The precise contours of the administration’s defense of Trump and Hegseth are still emerging, but it appears to ride on a fine distinction between the general order Hegseth gave for the attack and the specific order Adm. Mitch Bradley gave for the 2nd strike.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

Just an absolutely amazing morning in #Pittsburgh today. The snow looked incredible as it fell over the city, and I spent nearly six hours capturing so many different areas of the city. We'll start with a couple snowglobe images of the Horne's Tree and Duquesne Incline though. What a day.

Bad news for Hegseth, it turns out the Pentagon is a big bureaucracy filled with people who got there because they know how to fight bureaucratic battles and they will wait for you to lie about something then leak details about it. Who knew?
A most important question on the Sept. 2 double-tap strike is who had "target engagement authority" (TEA).
Wall Street Journal:
"A Defense Department official ... said Hegseth was the 'target engagement authority,' the key figure who authorized the strike."

I genuinely do not understand why ‘RFK Jr wants to kill thousands of American kids and make millions sick’ isn’t in the news basically every day. Also, why are Republicans OK with killing kids? Is it because they’re so busy covering for pedophiles that they’ve given up on kids entirely?
Breaking news: Federal vaccine advisers selected by Health Secretary RFK Jr. are planning to vote on ending the practice of vaccinating all newborns for hepatitis B and to examine whether shots are behind the rise of allergies and autoimmune disorders.
RFK Jr.'s vaccine advisers plan biggest change yet to childhood schedule
The new chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices said the panel plans to vote to end universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth and to scrutinize if childhood shots cause allergies.
