These murderous war crimes are Thom Tillis' legacy. He assured everyone, including Hegseth's sister, that he would vote no, then switched to a yes at the last minute. And for what? Tillis is still a pariah and has been run out of Congress. Cravenness never pays off.
Thing is, we DID hear about it at his confirmation hearing.
Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew he held these views about the laws of war.
They voted to confirm him anyway.

Everyone should read this terrifying thread about Hegseth’s published views wrt war crimes. It’s pretty fucking radical …. We needed to hear about this in his confirmation hearing.

Today's Public Notice highlights underreported fact that CBP invasion of North Carolina lasted less than a week. Turns out raiding churches and country clubs, smashing windows, and bullying students wasn't a good look. Seems important given rising disapproval of immigration enforcement 🤷♂️

Ol' Yam Tits doesn't care. He's moved on. He wanted a headline (which he got), a perp walk (which he didn't get), and to force Comey to spend time and money.

Interesting that the structure of NC made it quick and easy as opposed to some redder states.
• Only takes simple legislative majority
• NC governor has no veto of redistricting
• And even if he did, supermajority in NC is just 3/5 not 2/3

Trump's corrupt scheme to rig 2026 is suddenly falling apart:

*Indiana GOP lacks votes to redraw map

A functioning press would have asked the obvious question *why* he had an MRI but the WH press is afraid of being booted out of they ask any probing questions so here we are.
Reporter: Did you get an MRI?
Trump: I did. I got an MRI. It was perfect. Yeah… nobody has given you reports like I have given you. The doctors said some of the best reports they have ever seen.

Beyond no permits, approvals, historical preservation plan, etc. is $300+ million in no-bid design, demolition , and construction contracts that, prior to Cankles McTacotits, would have risen to Teapot Dome-level scandal, but in TrumpWorld, it's a Thursday.
Trump didn’t get the funding from oligarchs to destroy our WH because he was trying to save taxpayer money. He knew that Congress was not going to fund it, & even making the ask would have given the public advance notice and led to hearings. He wanted to do it like a King would.

Between this and the ability to draw hyperaccurate maps down to the household level, we're ultimately going to end up with a permanent 220-215 House where all the competitive seats are wiped out and a "wave election" flips 8-10 seats (and thus control) instead of 30-40+

Reminder: MAGA Mike stalling the discharge petition isn't just protecting Mango, it's self-preservation for 217 House members. That vote puts them on the record. We're never gonna see the real files but "s/he voted to protect ped0s" is a heck of a campaign ad for a challenger in the midterms.

Someone did work and Trump didn't pay them? I'm shocked. 🙄
Trump promised free plane tickets and $1,000 “exit bonuses” to immigrants who opted to self-deport.
ProPublica spoke to a dozen Venezuelan immigrants who said they followed the president’s instructions, yet never received the promised assistance.

LOL at saying "Shut up and dribble" to the Pope
As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”
As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’
Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.

Why Are SO MANY Outer Banks houses collapsing into the ocean?
Nine homes have been taken out by the Atlantic Ocean in just the last few weeks? Why so many? Why now? We asked a longtime Outer Banks journalist for some answers.

TACO is often used with this administration but my acronym is EGG: ego, grievance, or grift. Any Trump action falls into one of those three categories.

And my in-laws, who had never heard of CK before last Wednesday, will now think this is true because a Catholic cardinal said so, without ever reading or hearing anything CK actually said.
