FYI: the EXAMPLE of what a war crime is in the DoD Law of War manual is EXACTLY what Hegseth did. bsky.app/profile/jjin...
⚖️ DoD Law of War Manual, page 1075:
"For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal."

When you have a lawless criminal as commander-in-chief, and a falling-down drunk Fox News host as SecDef, reminding service members to only follow legal orders should probably be done every day. Mark Kelly is a hero. 🇺🇸

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols
The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Larry Summers says he's going to undertake an "effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships ..." He's 70, rich, and isn't going to rebuild a damn thing. Married, 63, and in 2019 is skirt-chasing with the help of Epstein.
He should just go away.
I do love the bipartisan nature of this. 👍

Why haven't the names of the abusers been provided to a member of Congress and read into the Congressional Record? Wouldn't that be a thousand percent more trustworthy than the release of redacted Epstein file remnants?

Weird. It turns out that you can’t be in favor of deporting 20% of America’s workforce (aka non-citizens) and expect the economy to improve without being a complete moron.

Or, Trump could be prevent millions of Americans from being driven off their health insurance, many Republican voters among them. Odd that a billionaire would favor tax cuts over ordinary Americans, but then again, MAGA has always been about cruelty and ignorance.

A rude awakening cometh.
Now a pound of ground coffee has gone from $7.02 to $9.14. That's a 30% increase. (January 2025 through September 2025)
Set the dates to compare January 2025 with July. A pound of ground coffee in the average American city has gone from $7.02 to $8.41. That's a 19.8% increase, and doesn't include the new 50% tariff on Brazil that took effect in August.
What impacts can you find?

Pretty wild that the Republican Party apparently now hates Ronald Reagan — and everything he stood for — and is actively trying to destroy his actual legacy.
Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
