If you ever say “but my taxes” this is you.
One of the major reasons we are here right now is that the white electorate does not reward politicians for making their lives better if that improvement also benefits non-white people.

Every liberal politician needs to face this truth. You can decide to be more “populist” but there will be a cost.

Let’s say this is true, which I doubt. It’s also true that vaccines have saved scores of millions of babies. Why is the Times taking that for granted?
The NYT definitely made a choice not to add “without evidence” to this headline.

On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:

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.

3/That’s what the special operations commander overseeing the attack did. After the initial hit, live drone feed showed two survivors clinging to the wreckage. The commander “ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions … The two men were blown apart in the water.”

2/It was the first of a series of attacks that have involved strikes on at least 23 boats to date. The Post reported that in advance, “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. ‘The order was to kill everybody.’”
