4/Hegseth tweeted but didn’t deny that 2 defenseless people were killed. There’s no evidence of their guilt. Clinging to the wreckage of a boat in the ocean, they weren’t an immediate threat to the US. The lawful choice was rescue & prosecution. Instead, per Hegseth’s order, they were executed.

Sea murders are not enough, now he needs his air murders, and later his land murders.
This impending war is based on fantasies and lies, like everything else about this administration. It’s like the US is under an evil hallucinogenic spell.
The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.
Lots of people are going to die.

New in PN: MAGA's Epstein gaslighting is unsustainable
"The Epstein files are a 'hoax,' Trump says — a lie made up by Dems to make him look bad. Yet somehow, at the same time, there’s nothing in them that could make him look bad — b/c if there was, Biden would have released them. So which is it?"

President Donald Trump said Friday he intends to grant a “full and complete pardon” to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, a move that would erase a major US drug-trafficking conviction for a onetime US ally who is currently serving a 45-year federal prison sentence.
